I’m using Google’s but I don’t really like it.
EDIT: is there anything that can sync with a linux podcast app (desktop)?
Antennapod, hands down. It’s the best podcast app I’ve ever used, period. Even proprietary options don’t come close.
And…! You can sync multiple devices across NextCloud! Tablet and phone? Synced!
I’d even say its one of my favourite pieces of open-source software overall, it’s very well made.
Thank you for this recommendation!
I used to use AntennaPod a few years ago, not sure what it’s like now but it looks to still be updated. Nice app as it has built-in search, etc. rather than just taking RSS feeds.
Use it every day. It’s fantastic
I use AntennaPod currently, still works great
AntennaPod and Podverse are both really good.
+1 AntennaPod. Been using it for almost a decade :]
Have you been transferring your statistics between devices?
No. I usually start over on a new device.
Fair enough. It can be a pretty neat way to track playback time and it’s also really easy to export your subscriptions along with it
Here’s the screen but you can also sort by podcast
Do either of these offer ad skipping?
Auto ad skipping?
AntennaPod has a 30 second jump button that works quite well
For AntennaPod, there are fast forward and rewind buttons. You can set a preprogrammed duration for each button. I have my fast forward button set to 30 seconds to skip commercials.
In addition, for AntennaPod, you can set a skip x seconds on podcast start, so if the podcast normally has 2 minutes of ads, jibber/jabber upfront, you can skip it. Also same for the backend of the podcast you can skip x seconds of the end of the podcast. This provides a way to skip ads, smalltalk, or jibber/jabber at the end of a podcast as well.
Given all that, which is great, be aware that AntennaPod doesn’t automatically skip ads on its own. You must press the preprogrammed duration fast forward button manually.
+1 for Podverse, I switched about a year ago and it has been great.
I use podcast addict.
Audiobookshelf can handle podcasts as well
