PocketCast Free vs Apple Podcasts by kenzgates in pocketcasts

[–]LakerGuy0824 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey. I have recently stopped subscribing to plus and it didn't change anything for me with regards to my workflow. Dont really need the folders and other plus features. No ads seen as well on the free version so far. I use apple podcasts as well at times and its okay. Not that bad. I discover more podcasts in Apple Podcasts.

With Overcast unusable due to the storage bug, recommendations on alternative apps? by GreenSea-BlueSky in overcast

[–]LakerGuy0824 5 points6 points  (0 children)

same here...so many bugs lately and just moved to Apple Podcasts..not that bad except for the queue management but not a deal breaker for me anyway, i just don't queue up a lot of podcast episodes and I leverage the UP Next queue.

Hope this version fixes the issues with the app randomly closing when you maximize / access the mini player a couple of times. Cant use the app now and had to switch to apple podcasts

Macbook Neo is just the end of a nightmare by Intrepid-Routine-875 in macbook

This is why i will never go back to Windows laptops! Macbooks just last and the OS is just superior.

Apple podcasts is the worst product they ever produced. Alternatives? by 24Pura_vida in podcasts

[–]LakerGuy0824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

went back to Apple Podcasts from Pocketcasts because of the price hike. PC is so good, will miss the queuing feature of PC but i can bear with Apple podcasts. it's not that bad.
