Uhh is this right? Seems like the vast majority of the main iOS app UI files are all dumped in the same folder along with all the assets. No organization. https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/tree/trunk/po...

That’s not necessarily weird. Xcode has its own idea of organization you use that doesn’t need to match the filesystem at all. If you downloaded and opened it in Xcode it may look well laid out. (I’d like the ability to turn that off or ‘sync’ the two personally for my projects)

I used it in the past, not sure if it still works with the latest project files.

Absolutely amazing app, by far the best podcast player I've used. The recent update that (finally!) implemented a folder organization system was just the icing on the cake. Very glad to see it going open source.

Also a plus subscriber. The app is almost perfect, missing only a couple of features - custom artwork (a lot of Patreon podcasters use the same artwork for free & premium feeds) and tracking file uploads in the play history.

I've been using it since it was owned by the original developers, Aussie indy outfit Shifty Jelly (along with their late, and definitely lamented, Pocket Weather). It's the one app that has gone with me as I've shifted between iOS and Android over the years. It's probably the only app I regularly use that I've never checked out alternatives for, as it's just so good.

Good to know I’m not alone. I’ve used it since (according to the app) 1/14/17 and have amassed 51d 7h of listening time. I feel like I’ve used it since around 2014 or so, but I could be wrong. I know somewhere around that time there was a platform switch and stats got lost.

In any event I was overjoyed when they grandfathered me to a lifetime subscription after switching to a paid model. I truly, deeply appreciate this app and all the work they put into this.
