Google podcast used to be my goto podcast app. I really liked that it was ad-free and you could download to listen during your commute. This offline listening feature didn't work properly on Spotify. I will miss google podcast.
When Google Podcasts launched it was a bad joke, and I was already using Google Play Music for podcasts when they removed the feature. It was basically the same cycle Google is repeating now, and has done to their messaging and music apps.
So I gave Google Podcasts a day to try it, and switched to Podcast Addict.
Podcast Addict would have been my favorite except they didn't store your subscriptions anywhere. Every time I got a new phone I would have to manually look up and subscribe to around 100 podcasts. I may revisit it once Google Podcasts stops working. Also got AntennaPod and Pocket Cast to try.
I know, it sucked last time I got a new phone... but I think it has that feature added now. I haven't tried it yet, but I've turned on the "automatic backups" feature.
