Over 200% markup in a single pricing change, yeesh
You think they’d gradually ease people into it at least. This app is always on something
I always got confused with percentage increases and whether they were relative to the original amount (going from 100% load to 300% load) or whether they were adding on top of the original amount (adding 200% on top of 100% to make 300%).
Regardless, that’s a ridiculous jump.
I left when they changed the interface to what ever abomination it is now. You used to be able to basically filter folders e.g. ttrpg actule plays, music, talk shows etc. chronologically wheather or not you’ve listened to it before. I should have switched to some open source alternative but I went with google again likely to get burned. Any recommendations?
Tbh you might be able to come back go pocket casts. They added a bunch of functionality back over time. Can’t remember what it used to be like anymore, but it works for me.
I have a free account and do have access to the filters. You can filter by podcast, started/not started, duration, etc. It may still not work for your needs though.
Do folks accessing for free have the ability to speed up playback? I love that feature.
Yup they do.
Yep!
Holy crap. That is a lot! Thank goodness I got that lifetime way back when.
Same. I just had to do a doubletake on my account to make sure I was still a lifetime member though whew!
That was my thought right now. Best podcast app on Android.
BeyondPod on android
Man, that beyond pod UI feels right out If jelly bean or kit Kat.
Beyond Pod hasn’t been updated since January 2021. It used to be the best podcast app by far, but is now quite buggy and broken on newer versions of Android.
AntennaPod is what I use now. A fantastic app that is free, no ads, and completely open source.
I’ll give antennapod a try. Thanks!
Podurama is amazing! I was a long time pocketcasts user and have switched. Won’t ever look back!!
I’ve never heard of this, but I love podcasts.
Isn’t this similar to the totally free AntennaPod from f-droid?
Podcast Addict (the free, ad-supported version) is all that I use for my podcasts. If you’re really into customisation, then try Podcast Republic.
I switched to Podcast Addict from Pocket Casts back when the app was first bought out. There were a ton of bugs at the time. I’ve been happy with Podcast Addict and had no desire to switch back.
Edit: Spelling.
Who pays this much for podcast player? I’m happy I’m grandfathered in since it’s launch. I love it, I paid for the full version, but recurring payments? No, thank you.
Just imported all my podcasts into AntennaPod to give it a go. I found that it also supports sync via Nextcloud which I absolutely need because I often listen on multiple devices and I want to pick up where I left.
Good to see alternatives, because that’s one of the main reasons I bought the lifetime subscription back in the day. I also used the trim silence feature, but I can do without that.
Expensive, I’m just trying the free trial, don’t know if I’ll keep it.
Is there anything in particular you need from Plus? Also, I believe folks who subscribed before the price increase can keep the original price.
Good question! Not OP, but I’ve used the free version extensively and have no need for Plus. The free version works great and is the podcast app I recommend. That subscription price is just dumb though.
Oof
I’ve never paid for this app… but that’s a crazy increase!
Any recs for a podcast app that has wearOS support??
Or a player than syncs to a website or desktop app? I mainly listen on my phone, but would like to be able to listen on my pc from time to time and would like the PC and android app to stay in sync.
I suspect these are Pocket Cast niches. If you’re already subscribed, your pricing should stay the same.
I use the free app right now
Pretty sure Pocket Casts now has a Wear OS app, saw it in their Play Store listing a few days ago.
Yep and it actually works well! I’m looking for an alternative that’s not behind a pricey subscription model
I’m one of the people who doesn’t listen to podcasts very much and therefore doesn’t need any extended features that would require me to pay for an app.
As long as the app has a play/pause button, and rewind/fast forward buttons, then that’s all I need lol
I listen to podcasts daily and have 107 days of listening time in pocketcasts over the span of years, but honestly their premium features just aren’t worth the cost, even at the cheaper level. I paid in the past because it’s a great app but realized I basically never used the paid features and stopped.
I think a lot of people who were also paying just to support a great app are going to second guess if theyre actually using those paid features with the price hike.
111 days here 😉
I subscribed to Pocket Casts when it was owned by public media entities, and it worked well. But after they sold it off, I just switched to AntennaPod and it does everything I need too.
