Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.

I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.

To be fair, I don't see the point of this app existing when YouTube Music (and, naturally—by extention—YTM ReVanced) already has a dedicated podcast section. No need for redundant apps.

The old Podcast app was simple, it did one thing, and it did it well. YouTube Music seems to be trying to do a dozen different things, and it does a shit job of all of them.

I'm using it and I'm quite happy with it, I even think it's better than Spotify especially the music recommendations

I have the same impression after comparing it recently to Spotify. On Spotify there is no dislike button so I can't say, please don't play this song anymore, I can only ban the entire artist which is definitely not what I want and also not as easy to do. Then when it comes to generated playlist out of one song, the Spotify songs seem irrelevant to the song they start from, while the yt songs are at the very least in the same genre.

And the interface works fine, I'm never sure what people talk about when they say it's not good.
