Just looking through iOS app privacy labels for most all podcasting apps including podcasting 2.0 apps.

Almost all of them collect data on your activity. Some with data linked to you, some “not linked to you”.

I feel like the world needs a very simple iOS podcast app with no data tracking and no ads and no subscription. And decent UX/UX.

Podcasting 2.0 features would be a bonus, but we need to have the basics at least.

Does anyone know of one that already exists that fits all those requirements?

Just use podverse without an account 👍 it's open source and functional

I appreciate the recommendation. This is what I see when I look at the privacy information for that app. I don’t really have a way of knowing if they track device identifiers even if you don’t make an account.

They elected to check the box for usage data that can be linked to you, so I would guess so.

using iOS and asking about privacy? something's not right here....

About half the country uses iOS.

By taking the time to learn about what privacy focused apps are available as well as a configuring a variety of settings and browser extensions, you can significantly improve your privacy from baseline.

For all the people who are comfortable using an android open source mobile OS I applaud them, but for the non technical people in my life I’m going to do what I can to help their privacy even a little bit.

technical? I think its just a comfort zone thing. iPhones were hip and cool, and they get used to using them and wont step out of their comfort zone.

there is nothing "technical" about android more than there is about iOS.

If the OS cannot be trusted, then even the most secure apps on that OS are meaningless. (ie: zaps being blocked on iOS)

Fair enough

Except not really. A stock Android is functionally way worse for privacy. Privacy oriented Android means running Graphene and that isn’t non nerd friendly.

GrapheneOS only works with the GOOGLE PHONES. I do not recommend this at all.

There are many people like myself who provide services for non-techies, providing a brand new phone with something nice and clean like LineageOS which can be tweaked to be just like Graphene. So they get the finished product right away. This is the direction we should be encouraging people to go and then bring to learn how to do it on their own going forward.

Or they can stick with iOS and play with "privacy" apps lol

While I don’t agree with your all or nothing approach when it comes to iOS, I do respect that you are out there helping your community with privacy tools and apparently putting your dollar behind it. 👍

I was just about to reply with something similar. I cannot get behind supporting iOS but I respect your efforts in improving awareness.

This exchange of perspective was awesome and it occurred naturally in the wild.

I have no idea but I agree a 💯 % with you.

I don’t have podcasts apps on my phone that’s why I can’t help. However I do get bothered with the lack of privacy most apps have.
