OH i am big mad about this. I didnt even know there was a downloaded section, but they made it so not user friendly.

I'm glad I'm not alone in hating this! Why can't I just delete episodes in the normal way?!!?

[likeanunmadebed]

right? when I swipe left and click the trash can, it should disappear! wtf.

[dandyxwarhol]

Yes this is the thing I hate. I really don't give a crap about the look of the app, but I am so used to deleting them the old way!!

Spotify 4eva! I’m lazy AF and they do all the work for me tbh

Agree!! I made the switch a couple months ago. Like what was I thinking - I'm already paying for it. May as well use it and not take up some much space on my phone with Apple podcasts.

It’s just awful. I loved the old setup and this takes away all of the best features. It’s so difficult to navigate.

Can't recommend Overcast enough. I ditched Apple's app for it 2-3 years ago (when I was frustrated by it).

Hard second here!

I used Apple’s podcast app for ever and it was really hard to find one that felt the same in the ways I liked…I’ve used Overcast for like 4 years now and no regrets!

I use Overcast too! Love it. My only complaint is I wish I could sort podcasts by which ones have updated recently and not just alphabetically.

Yes yes YES to overcast!
