    Overcast has a function that deletes podcasts you don't listen to, so your phone doesn't get cluttered. AntennaPod does not, among many other functional shortcomings. On my device (Huawei P20Pro) AntennaPod constantly crashes.

    While a bit over-featured for what I need, easy to use and reliable. Very functional.
