MODERATORS
I've been quite happy with antennapod. Discovery is kind of a pain in the ass, but it's open source, and management and playback have been solid.
I second all of this. I started using AntennaPod a couple months ago and like it. It handles "chapters" in podcasts better, too. Searching is fiddly though.
How's migration to a new phone? That's what caused me to leave podcast addict, it was so bad.
You have various options to export the data. One of those exports subscriptions, listened episodes and queue to another device. I have used it several times and it works well.
What issues do you have with podcast addict? I just recently migrated to it and so far it seems fine
I've been migrating seamlessly for years using PA
I got a new phone, copying the data over was a terrible experience and ended up failing. Specifically, copying over downloaded podcasts.
It's great and the main reason I first started using it. There is a database export and import option which transfers nearly everything. It transfers subscriptions, settings, history, etc. I think the only thing that doesn't transfer is downloaded episodes.
PocketCast is also OpenSource. Today I switched over and it's also pretty good.
I honestly can't really decide which one I find better. Try them out for yourself.
Biggest issue with pocket casts is it cannot deal with authenticated feeds.
I for example subscribed to Darknet Diaries on Patreon and the bonus episodes do work.
I don't listen to more premium podcasts. I just hate that you can't manually update the URL so far.
Also the "time listed" stats on AntennaPod are way superior, but PocketCats syncs between devices and has a web/desktop client.
yea, they did get patreon exclusive feeds working, but any other don't.
I just don't like that everything has to go through them.
used to be a big pocketcasts fan, but I dislike being completely dependent on their servers.
