      What’s wrong with Automattic? I don’t know them at all.

      Got a suggestion for an app that works on Android in my car? (Not Android Auto, but it’s Android based so can run Android apps. It’s a Volvo.)

        Maybe try podcast addict, been using it for years and it’s just got constant development. I donated to them because I hate subscriptions and I’ve gotten a lot of value from it.

        Free version only has ads on the search page as far as I can tell, and it’s just a couple recommended casts.

          You know, it is not really a free version if they give you ads. Why not donate to foss? AntennaPod is really great.

          Edit: so after that I hyped myself up a bit to donate to AntennaPod myself and their donation page told me, they have enough money to develop the app and they would like people to help in other ways or maybe to donate to their favourite podcast. 🤷

          I’m mainly interested in an app that can sync between devices. Non-commercial apps rarely do this. 😞

      Thanks for the recommendation. I checked it out and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.
