The podcast app is trash too

  Agreed. I find the Overcast app to be quite nice. I've been using that for 2+ years with few complaints.

    I really don't like overcast : ( I've tried to switch several times, especially since the podcast redesign and I just can't.

      Yeah, Overcast is extremely weirdly designed in some places - the "Unplayed" tab contains played content for example.
      • jvreeland 7y ago
        Yeah basically the same stuff i dislike about the 'Listen now' and other weird modes.

          This made me look for an alternative, and I found Castro, which I love! The UI is miles better! https://castro.fm/ https://castro.fm/

      Give Pocket Casts a try: https://www.pocketcasts.com/ https://www.pocketcasts.com/

        Thanks for the recommendation, this is actually quite nice.

  Lest we forget, the OG Apple podcast app had a tape reel prior to the iOS 7 redesign: https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2013/04/podcomp.png https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2013/04/podco...

    At least the app used to have a personality and an unique design language. Now it’s the same flat and empty garbage as every other one of their apps. Btw if you’re looking for a non-shit podcasts app I highly recommend Overcast.
