Pocket Cast is still decent. But they increased the sub prices a lot recently. I was still on an old plan, so I don't know what I'll do when it expires. What bugs me more is podcast releasing exclusively on certain platforms. Congratulations, you just reinvented radio
I'm grandfathered in to when their premium was a one-time payment, but I'm trying out AntennaPod again as I'd like to stick with open source solutions. I haven't used AntennaPod since 2.4.x and I moved back to Pocket Cast because AntennaPod was giving me a weird issue where the app would occasionally lose audio focus when I paused. I'm hoping I don't run into that issue again, because, other than that, it was every bit as good as Pocket Casts, probably better.
I love being able to arrange by tags, rather than folders.
