pocket cast is free to use, no?

Any recommendations for android? I know there’s pocket casts but I’m not posting a subscription for a podcast app. All I need it to do is literally find the podcast then click play, idk what there really even is to innovate on that for apps to charge you.

Yeah. I don’t pay for pocket cast.

Is it subscription now? I paid like $3 for it once ten years ago.

It is free for most features, but the paid subscription is now $40 per year.

Yeah, I’m holding on to the lifetime grandfathered premium and don’t foresee myself using anything else until they end it.

I like AntennaPod.

Podcast Republic is my go to. I listen to 5 or 6 podcasts. But have 2 or 3 that are time relevant, like news. I set those as priority, and Podcast Republic makes an auto playlist that puts them all in order by my preference, then release date old to new.
If a preferred podcast comes out, it goes to the top of my auto playlist. I can’t podcast without it now.

I used to use PodcastAddict, before my work replaced my perfectly functional Galaxy 10 with a used iPhone SE. Not sure that one exists anymore, but I loved it.

First I've heard of having to pay for Pocket Casts? Mine is still working without payments.

If you only listen to podcasts on your phone, I can highly recommend AntennaPod. It is free and open source. I have been using it for around 6 months now since Pocket Casts increased from $10 to $40 per year.
