I paid for Pocket Casts years ago. Then shortly after, they announced it was going to be free. I think I got a refund. Don’t remember.
I can’t say I’m surprised at this decision to stuff it with ads. Gotta pay for development somehow, and unfortunately they took the easy route, i.e. data collection and ads.
I don’t even remember what they did when I bailed. Some redesign thing close to a decade ago. I’ve been using Podcast Republic ever since as it resembles what Pocket Cast was like before they screwed it up.
Stopped using it years ago when they redesigned it completely. I remember people HATED it, but they really did make it worse.
I use Podcast Addict instead which isn’t perfect but looks like it has more features that I use than Antenna Pod
