This is my first comment in HN. This is the best productive podcast app ever. The developer is also so helpful with any kind of bugs I reported. I hope this is resolved quickly.

Podcast Addict shouldn't be banned for non-approved Covid content.

When I tested the version of Podcast Addict with ads, it started reloading ads in the background and going through my battery and data allowance. The developer wasn't able to figure out and fix the problem. Just did a quick search and the last time someone wrote about this problem is a year ago (on reddit). Maybe it is fixed now? I would be okay with an app being banned for such bug, btw. It's app bugs like this that cause the ever stricter background service restrictions on Android (until it's like iOS and just not possible anymore).

Much agreed - I've been using it daily for years

I am impressed you remember your password from that long ago.

Pretty sure password managers existed four years ago.

I'm still using BeyondPod. Development is stale and problems start appearing. It has one-two features really unique that I miss with other apps. First and foremost "Smart Playlists"

This made me wonder how long since I had last logged into HN.

About that long, though I had commented before that.
