Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn’t the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they’re moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren’t implemented yet.

I’ve moved over to an app from F-Droid.

    To be fair, I don’t see the point of this app existing when YouTube Music (and, naturally—by extention—YTM ReVanced) already has a dedicated podcast section. No need for redundant apps.

      The old Podcast app was simple, it did one thing, and it did it well. YouTube Music seems to be trying to do a dozen different things, and it does a shit job of all of them.

        I’m using it and I’m quite happy with it, I even think it’s better than Spotify especially the music recommendations

          The recommendations are the main reason why I ditched Spotify for YouTube Music ReVanced. Spotify seems to believe that my tastes in music are more indie than they are, just because not everything I listen to has hit a Billboard chart at one point. YTM tends to play the same songs over and over again, but at least they’re songs I recognize.

          Also why would I pay $10/mo for Spotify Premium when I could use YTM ReVanced for free and just block the ads? Which is the second reason why I switched.
