New Podcast App Sucks!

[countryside]

I love iOS 14 so far, however, I cannot stand the new Apple Podcast app. My main issue is with the Listen Now tab which is the default landing page. If it was accurate, I would have no problem with it. But I do not understand why they recommend me to listen to episodes that I have already played (and that have the previously played icon). It also is not chronological. It is an extremely inefficient setup.

Is anyone else frustrated with the new layout? Please sent alternative app recommendations. I have been using this app daily for years, sad to think about leaving.

I like Overcast. Haven’t used the Apple app in years.

Thank you for the suggestion, I just downloaded it. I like it. Very cool how you can increase the voice of the speaker and/or reduce silence. My only gripe is the aesthetics, but this appears to function great. No hassle with algorithms. I appreciate it!

A vote for Castro. I much prefer it's Queue and Inbox approach. And they finally added true push notification support which is great.
