Quickly searched and this question was asked a year ago, apologies if there's more recent similar posts. I've used podcast addict for years But I'm finding it less and less user friendly.
Like within the playlist, it used to be possible to unsubscribe from a podcast. Now you have to hunt for the podcast under 'podcasts' which is really irritating as there isn't a list of names but the cover art. Sieve through that just to do something that used to be a one click process. I want a simple player that isn't going to require excessive time on my behalf to do anything, I just want functionality! Suggestions? Thanks

I have google podcasts and it mostly works well. I like that there are no ads or features withheld for a pro version, and that it streams.
I don't like that it has no longevity and that I can't figure out how to hide podcasts I've listened to (even though it knows I've listened to them)
I would like to ask for podcast app recommendations (that fulfill certain basic criteria)
What are the best podcast apps that:
is free
no ads
has no major features that you need to listen to podcasts withheld (except maybe syncing across devices, even if that is not available I'd still consider it)
does not require downloading of podcasts. I just want to stream them
supports resuming podcasts
can hide podcasts you've listened to fully
has a good catalog of major podcasts
would be nice features
easy way to skip by predefined amounts like 30 seconds or 1 or 2 minutes, to get through the sponsored stuff
also please don't recommend apps just because they are podcast apps but don't actually meet the main criteria above.
if there is anything really nice about an app you recommend, please mention it. thanks.
