I’m using Google’s but I don’t really like it.

EDIT: is there anything that can sync with a linux podcast app (desktop)?

    Antennapod, hands down. It’s the best podcast app I’ve ever used, period. Even proprietary options don’t come close.

      And…! You can sync multiple devices across NextCloud! Tablet and phone? Synced!

        Does their gpodder sync thing work again yet? That’s the main reason I tried it out before, but it was inactive when I checked. NextCloud requires your own server, right?

          It worked for me. If you have your own server to instsll Nextcloud, thays the best. There are free Nextcloud hosts with free accounts you can try.

      I’d even say its one of my favourite pieces of open-source software overall, it’s very well made.

    I used to use AntennaPod a few years ago, not sure what it’s like now but it looks to still be updated. Nice app as it has built-in search, etc. rather than just taking RSS feeds.

        For AntennaPod, there are fast forward and rewind buttons. You can set a preprogrammed duration for each button. I have my fast forward button set to 30 seconds to skip commercials.

        In addition, for AntennaPod, you can set a skip x seconds on podcast start, so if the podcast normally has 2 minutes of ads, jibber/jabber upfront, you can skip it. Also same for the backend of the podcast you can skip x seconds of the end of the podcast. This provides a way to skip ads, smalltalk, or jibber/jabber at the end of a podcast as well.

        Given all that, which is great, be aware that AntennaPod doesn’t automatically skip ads on its own. You must press the preprogrammed duration fast forward button manually.

    Podverse! I’m pretty sure it’s the only FLOSS app that has implemented all the podcasting 2.0 features. The only thing it’s missing is Android Auto :(

    AntennaPod is a good one. Personally I use podcastaddict solely because it has casting and I put podcasts on my TV.

    I use AntennaPod but don’t love it. It can be quite buggy. Podcast length is never correct for example and will reach the end before the podcast has finished.

    I just synced with gpoddersync, like two minutes ago!

    Yes, you need a NextCloud server, but it’s getting easier to set up than ever before, and there are third party hosts available for cheap.

    I use AntennaPod and it’s okay, I love the look but the UX takes some getting used to and I have no clue if it can sync with a desktop client, I guess with Syncthing there probably is a way for almost any app but I doubt that’s what you mean!
