I've used this app since it was launched almost 6 years ago and it has been very good the entire time, easy to browse for new podcasts, easy to find anything you'd want to do as a podcast listener. I will not be switching over to YouTube Music or whatever Google decides is better than this, I will be switching to another dedicated podcast player.

WAS Pretty good. Well, at least you won't have to pay to listen podcasts with your screen off. Although I've been a YouTube premium subscriber for a while now (which comes with Music Premium) But YouTube Music is not the solution I want for podcasts. As others have said, it's bloated. And right off the bat, one of two final features of this App, the export to Music, FAILS. That is, it says "I have no subscriptions to import. Even though I can download the file and see the subs in that.

With this app shutting down and my dislike for YT music, I needed an alternative. Luckily! I found Castbox, and it exceeded my expectations. That app offers a highly customized experience, allowing me to discover and subscribe to all my favorite podcasts. I can create multiple playlists, download episodes for offline listening, and even use it seamlessly with Android Auto in my car. The user interface is intuitive, making it a breeze to navigate. If u r looking for one, try it!
