Overcast might be the app for you. No affiliation, I just like it.

Overcast is definitely the least worst of the iOS podcast apps but it does have its own set of UI/UX annoyances.

Another vote for Overcast.

Unfortunately, Overcast's update towards the tail of last year ruined it for me and many others. It no longer functions reliably in my experience.

I've used Downcast forever. No complaints. No idea how it compares to Overcast.

My main issue with podcast alternatives is that onbe feature I use is walk into a room and ask Siri to play a podcast. That works with Apple but not anything else. What is the latest podcast has to sync across devices.

However any maintainance or search for podcasts is crap with Apple and better elsewhere.
