I had issues with Stitcher and now they no longer exist. I tried Spotify and continue to use them for music, but they don’t always keep your place.
A couple of years ago, I switched to pocketcasts. Works well, but the only annoyance was that for the web version (which I use while working), they charged about $5 per year. Last year, they increased it to $10. Now, they’re increasing to $40.
So, thinking of switching. Would like something that will work on any device, phone, iPad, PC browser and ideally work seamlessly between them. And keeps your place when you switch from one device to another.
I liked Stitcher much better, Spotify is okay but not as user friendly. I listen to the same three podcasts on the way to work every morning with Stitcher it was easy to choose the order and they would play one after another. With Spotify, I go to new episodes and have to manually choose them.
The issue I would generally have was stopping an episode in the middle, switching devices, and the episode would start over at the beginning. Spotify wouldn’t keep my place. With music, seems it does sometimes, but not others. Maybe I should give it another try for podcasts.
I always use the same device, my phone and it saves my place even after a few weeks. I would think if you’re logged in to your account it would pick up where you left off, the device shouldn’t matter.
Ya, audible doesn’t do that either.
My wife and I were listening to a book together on a road trip and didn’t finish it during the drive.
We finished listening to it on our own and would have to text each other the stop times because it would revert to the time stopped on each device.
