I was lured into trying the Amazon Music app for its podcasts. It is just awful.
Apple Podcasts is less awful but not great.
Overcast is so easy to use, so quick to navigate, with so many custom options - it’s hard to use any other player.
- WirelessGigabit 4y agoApple Podcasts is insane. I now am getting pushes for episodes that I can't play because I don't subscribe to THAT podcast. What happened to Apple not allowing advertisements in their notifications?
- MBCook 4y agoI stuck with Apple podcasts for a few years because I wanted to be able to sync progress between my Mac and my phone. That basically never worked and in fact kept resetting my progress. Eventually I got so fed up I realized I wasn’t listening on the Mac anyway because of it and switched to Overcast. Pretty quickly I regretted not switching earlier. I’ve been using it very happily ever since.

- theluketaylor 4y agoon M1/2 Macs Overcast can be installed from the app store. No special work by Marco; it's just the ipad UI, but that's more than enough to have your listen status sync across all your devices and make your podcasts available on the mac.
- MBCook 4y agoI always forget about that. Excellent point. Personally I’ve just adapted to using my phone all the time instead of listening to podcasts on my laptop, so I haven’t felt the need. But it’s a great tip for others.
