I would like to switch to another app, preferably FOSS, but I haven't found another decent one that has the filters feature from PocketCasts. This is the feature that lets you apply a preset filter to the total list of episodes. I use it to auto-build a queue of just certain podcasts, instead of all of my subscriptions.
Any chance someone has seen that feature elsewhere?
Pocket Casts client is actually open source, server is not AFAIK.
I am very curious if they are going to implement something like Google Ads in the future because I don't recall any open source app ever having third party ads. Right now there is only a banner ad to subscribe to Premium but on clicking the X button there is an option to "report ad" so surely they are getting third party ads? I have seen locked down features with premium version having full features, but never ads really. Maybe the MPL license they have chosen is very lenient in that way.
If someone forks the app and creates a fully FOSS version I will be fine using that.
OMG thank you for that knowledge! I've been putting off building a podcast server for years because I couldn't be arsed learning some front end framework.
Podcast addict has a ton of filters I remember using.
I set it up so a news podcast would be like tier one so each morning it played first then after it was over it would move down to what was in progress in tier two in the queue then when those finished it'd go down the list by tier
