Google Podcasts is a great app for discovering and listening to podcasts! Its simple interface and intuitive design make it easy to find, subscribe to, and play your favorite shows. The playback controls are user-friendly, and the ability to download episodes for offline listening is convenient. However, some users may find the discovery features lacking compared to other podcast apps. Overall, a solid choice for podcast enthusiasts, especially those integrated into the Google ecosystem.

I've used this app since it was launched almost 6 years ago and it has been very good the entire time, easy to browse for new podcasts, easy to find anything you'd want to do as a podcast listener. I will not be switching over to YouTube Music or whatever Google decides is better than this, I will be switching to another dedicated podcast player.

Absurd choice to discontinue this app. This app has always worked well, with media controls, web player integration, and importable RSS feeds. Podcasts was a good example of the Android OS having dependable native apps. Dropping the app is tantamount to dropping other critical native apps, such as maps, contacts, or Gmail. Android now lacks a basic functionality, pushing users to third party apps with ads and subscription models. I might go back to iPhone over this.

Google Podcasts now supports adding podcasts by RSS feed! Open the app and navigate to Activity, and then to the Subscriptions tab. Select the three dots in the top right corner and then "Add by RSS Feed." Once added, the podcast will appear along with your other subscribed shows, including at the top of the Home tab.
