Google Podcasts users express disappointment over app discontinuation
The tech giant’s decision to discontinue the Google Podcasts app in favor of YouTube Music has left many users feeling disappointed. The app, which was first launched in 2018, was officially shut down in the UK on Monday, following its discontinuation in the US back in April.
Users have taken to social media to share their feelings about the closure, with one individual expressing how “truly hurt” they are by the decision. Another user mentioned feeling “bummed” about the app shutting down, while a third person lamented the fact that they would have to migrate to a new platform.
Google has assured users that the move is part of a larger strategy to enhance the podcast experience on YouTube Music. By focusing their efforts on one platform, Google aims to create a better destination for both creators and fans, offering unique capabilities and a seamless audio-visual experience.
