I wonder when they’ll have clients for desktop or other OS, that way I could ditch Pocket Casts.
I thought I could synchronize what I was listening to and where I stopped with gpodder.net but this never worked because I never understood how to use it, even though I logged in on both desktop and phone, so I had to give up the idea of listening on the desktop and I only listen on the phone. If I am at home I sometimes connect to a Bluetooth speaker to have a nicer experience.
I ended up using the nextcloud gpodder sync app, works a treat, there’s even a nextcloud app for listening to podcasts in your browser, so I use that for desktop use.
I also use Nextcloud gpodder - it’s been set and forget in my case, very easy. Use Kasts on desktop, and AntennaPod on my phone.
So what exact features does it have? I need three:
It does a decent job at all 3 from my experience
This seems like a good solution, but I also see it is missing iOS in its supported devices so it would affect my setup.
macOS/Win10, iPad, Android mobile, Shield TV, Alexa.
I use the casting/BT audio workaround yeah, oh and the subpar Alexa Skill.
What’s wrong with Pocket Casts?
Not open source.
Edit: sike, it is
Yes it is https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-android
Their freemium model fooled me, it is indeed open-source
They went to a subscription model for using the desktop app… If we could buy it at once as it was possible before I wouldn’t even be looking for alternatives, but I despise subscriptions.
Funnily enough (although I haven’t looked thoroughly) I couldn’t find a way for this yet 🏴☠️
