AntennaPod continues to be the correct podcast app.

Weird, I don't see it on their beta stream. I'm apparently on an April 16 update.

Ah, 7.61.1 here still.

But I got an idea from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pocketcasts/comments/1c5hhqx/had_no_idea_theyd_find_a_way_to_make_the_widget/

Yikes.

Yup. Who thinks making the buttons itty-bitty and leaving a ton of blank space (baby) is a good design choice?!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a simple counter app? Ideally where I can put a widget on my home screen and tap it to increase a counter. Trying to track a health issue which means counting how many times I do some stuff

Bettercounter looks like the sort of thing

Searched and didn't see it, but Tally Counter popped up and that seems to be what I'm looking for, so thanks. :)

Edit - Ah I searched for Better Counter, not Bettercounter

In gmail, my primary email account has stopped receiving new mail notifications, but my secondary account still gets them


What setting did I accidently fat thumb to turn off notifications?

Gummy Bear Heaven ... It's where I go when the world is too mean.
Mine randomly did that a few days ago. Suddenly I got two notifications, swiped one away, got a new notification, swiped it away, and ended up getting like 20 notifications one by one from emails that came in over the last few hours.

No idea what caused it or how to fix it.

Wierd, YouTube was loving up for me and I had to wipe local data and relogin in, and now shorts don't have a progress/seek bar?

Please tell me the seek bar on shorts wasn't some A/B feature and now I'm in B.

Sorry to ask this again, but does anyone know a good shopping list app that works with Google Assistant? Remember the Milk doesn't have that feature, at least not anymore. :(

I've been having that randomly with regular videos. I think going to picture in picture and back. Closing and reopening fixes it.

God I hate all podcast apps so much.

Google Podcasts finally made its export tool available in Europe as well, so the end really is coming.

Having checked out maybe a dozen apps again today, I just hate all of them!
I don't want 'Explore' or 'Discover' or 'Trending' on the home page. I don't want any community features. I just want to see the latest god drat episodes of podcasts I signed up for right away!
I want to be able to create a queue and add episodes to it, and I want to be able to mark episodes as played.

I know everyone is going to say Antennapod is the best, but I bounced very hard off their interface after trying to use it for a few days. Just doesn't work for me.

I really hope someone will have the good sense to just create a Google Podcasts clone. I'd pay good money for that

Been using Podcast Addict for years, I've never seen recommendations or trending. App opens to all the podcasts I've subscribed to and does all the things you want.

WTF?
PocketCasts has a discover/search section, but IME it doesn't open to that unless maybe if you were on that page last time you used the app.

It's been said already, but Google Podcasts was so good, and Google is dumb as poo poo for making the Android experience worse and worse with every passing year. The Google suite of apps is as much part of the appeal as the hardware. Anyway, just old man yelling at cloud here.

Antennapod has checkboxes to remove navigation drawer items and can set a default page to start on. You don't have to see any of that poo poo. I just have queue and subscriptions.

If you want something that is basic and a different breed, KDE Kasts is alright.

I am a diehard Pocket Casts user, love the sync between my devices. I use it like once every two months but can't believe it's even on my watch.

A weird thing with the discovery feature is a friend's podcast does not show on the Canadian charts whatsoever and he's pinged them a few times to make sure he's listed -- he's high on the Apple ones.

Yeah a lot of people complain about it but it's been fantastic for me. I do pretty much just use it for existing podcasts and not looking for new content, however.

Weird, even removed the other new widgets completely. Nothing wrong with those, but I definitely preferred the original.

Oh, thanks! Never bothered to dig into options but this removes pretty much the only annoying thing about newer versions of Antennapod!
