Comments on Google Podcasts for Android

★★★★★ The best app for Podcasts. Seriously disappointed with Google killing this clean and simple app. I will never use YouTube music, out of spite and because it is a convoluted, bloated and slow piece of trash.

★★★★★ Google Podcasts is a great app for discovering and listening to podcasts! Its simple interface and intuitive design make it easy to find, subscribe to, and play your favorite shows. The playback controls are user-friendly, and the ability to download episodes for offline listening is convenient. However, some users may find the discovery features lacking compared to other podcast apps. Overall, a solid choice for podcast enthusiasts, especially those integrated into the Google ecosystem.

★★☆☆☆ I am feeling deeply sad & hurt. Discontinuing this awesome app is nothing but way of making more money. I hoped google would do better

★★☆☆☆ I'm giving this app 1 star because of the atrocity called YouTube music that Google is funneling us to. This app was great for all podcast needs. YouTube music? Preposterous!

★★☆☆☆ It was a great podcast experience until it went the way of all Google products. Doesn't load, doesn't show me any of my previous podcasts. It just wants me to go to YT Music (which I have no interest in)
