Any suggestions on good multi-platform alternatives? I’m using Apple Podcasts and it’s garbage.

    I bought the iOS app. They I switched to Android and bought it again. Then I got back into iOS, and bought it in my new apple account. Then they said they needed money and that they had a web app and a desktop app (electron) so I bought that again.

    I recommended Pocket Casts to friends, family, randos on the internet, people on the street, and everyone that would listen to me.

    And then they launched plus, made the phone apps free (100% ok with that, I had my moneys worth) and tried to weasel out of the lifetime of webapp they sold me. They tried to give me 3 years of plus.

    We really cried and nagged them on Reddit an Twitter. Most of us could not care less about the cloud storage. We just wanted the webapp we paid for, without a time limit. And in the end they gave up and just grandfathered us all.

    But I never recomendad pocket casts again. Never again went out of my way to talk about the app to anyone.
