Google Podcasts is TERRIBLE compared to Google Play. The UX is just so bad. You'd expect at least some podcast-specific features like mark podcast as listened.

- barry-cotter 8y agoNot from Google I wouldn’t. They give hope to people everywhere who realise they don’t know design. Money doesn’t automatically buy competence, so if you can make something useful you can beat a Goliath in a small nice and work up from there.
- ascagnel_ 8y agoGoogle hasn't ever really "gotten" podcast players. Their first attempt (Google Listen) was basically a bad UI around a special Reader folder -- so you could accidentally mark a podcast as read while you were flipping through your RSS feeds.
- random878 8y agoI haven't had a smartphone in some time, but I highly recommend AntennaPod which is available of F-Droid. Not only a great podcast app, but it respects your Freedom. It's the only thing I miss about not having a smartphone.
- cheez 8y agoGreat app, using it now!
- mnbvkhgvmj 8y agoAntennaPod is a great app. Open source etc but it feels like a paid app in terms of polish/attention-to-detail/UX.
- JetSpiegel 8y agoI second this, and since they just use RSS, it is still working as always.
- frosted-flakes 8y agoMark as played is there, but it's hidden in a menu on the details screen of the episode.
- m-p-3 8y agoAnd YouTube Music is terrible compared to GPM.
- jamescridland 8y agoYou mean - the option that says "mark as listened"? :)
