I really wish they'd compete by just making the Podcasts app not a pile of shit. It routinely doesn't sync where I am between devices and never works correctly

I really wish they'd compete by just making the Podcasts app not a pile of shit.
It routinely doesn't sync where I am between devices and never works correctly on my HomePod. Adding old episodes on one device won't add it anywhere else. The Apple TV version simply doesn't have the ability to add episodes to your library. The less said about iTunes' podcast functionality the better.
I know they're porting the iOS Podcasts app to Mac for the next version so there's some hope.. maybe.
- MBCook 7y agoThose problems STILL exist? That’s what drove me to Overcast many years ago.
- jakebasile 7y agoI should probably just use Overcast, too. It's insane to me how awful the Podcasts app is.
- sdan 7y agoI have the same problems as you do. Set podcasts to download on my iPhone. Doesn't download on my watch and my laptop starts downloading 50gb worth of podcasts. I will probably move over to overcast.
- PascLeRasc 7y agoI really love Marco Arment and ATP, but I couldn't figure out the UI of Overcast, so if anyone's in the same boat I'd highly recommend Pocket Casts. It's a super nice UI and supports Google Casting.
- jvzr 7y agoI can't wrap my head around the way queuing works (or more so, doesn't work) in Overcast so I switched to Castro. Indie devs, iOS exclusive. Can't recommend it enough!
