The best thing was that it was free and had no ads.

Try Pocket Casts, Overcast, or AntennaPod. They are also free and have no ads.

Yeah these apps have been around for +10 years doing everything Google podcasts did with more features. It completely invalidated the point of the Google version for a long while. Pocketcasts is probably the oldest 3rd party app I still use today.

Pocket Casts was one of the first apps I ever paid for. When they went to a subscription, that purchase more than paid for itself.
