Redesigning the Google Podcasts app gives you a better overview

One of the areas in which Google has historically been able to deploy its own application relatively quickly and reach the very top is currently listening to popular podcasts. Google Podcasts isn’t complicated and tries to go (quite unusual for this American giant) the easiest way possible without unnecessary curls. This will probably continue to be the case, even if the application is undergoing changes at this time. Redesign brings positive shift.

The first change can be seen on the first card at the top. There will be a new one in the Subscribtions menu More button (More), which will take you to a tab with all your favorite shows. There will be no need to hunt between them lengthy scrolling in one line. Otherwise, the home card is the same, ie full of thumbnails with individual episodes. The middle Explore tab will also be the same, and we can find another big change in the last one.

The name of the third card in the bottom menu is changes from Activity to Library and the four items are reordered. The good news is also the fact that Google Podcasts already behave like other applications in the system when minimized or switched. It therefore remembers on which card it was minimized. The new look is currently available in beta, but should soon be aimed at regular users.
