Lest we forget, the OG Apple podcast app had a tape reel prior to the iOS 7 redesign: https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2013/04/podco...

At least the app used to have a personality and an unique design language.

Now it’s the same flat and empty garbage as every other one of their apps.

Btw if you’re looking for a non-shit podcasts app I highly recommend Overcast.

Agreed. I find the Overcast app to be quite nice. I've been using that for 2+ years with few complaints.

I really don't like overcast : ( I've tried to switch several times, especially since the podcast redesign and I just can't.

Thanks for the recommendation, this is actually quite nice.

Yeah, Overcast is extremely weirdly designed in some places - the "Unplayed" tab contains played content for example.

Yeah basically the same stuff i dislike about the 'Listen now' and other weird modes.

This made me look for an alternative, and I found Castro, which I love! The UI is miles better!
