I’ve been using Pocket Casts for years. It’s pretty solid. Honestly can’t remember if I paid for it or not, but I don’t see ads and I don’t have the recurring membership option.

+1 for Pocket Casts

The apps are now free and open source. You only need to pay (monthly) if you want the web app and account sync.

It’s great as the free version, but if you were one of the lucky few that supported the desktop app years ago, the lifetime license is chefs kiss

A fellow lifetimer! All I wanted was to use the windows desktop app version to play podcasts. Who would have thought it would lead to this while everyone else just lived in the phone?

It’s a great app. Simple and clean. I left for podcast republic for a while because it supported groupings, but the PC added folders and well, they pulled me back in!

+1 for Pocket Casts. I’ve only ever had problems with Pocket Cast in the last few weeks. Luckily they released an update a few days ago that fixed the issues.
