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

    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.

    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.
