     @arstechnica I like Google Podcasts. Not super feature rich, but a good player none-the-less.

     @arstechnica I liked Google Podcasts. I'm happy I didn't use it anymore or otherwise it would've been another loss after services like Allo and many more ...

     @arstechnica New in app purchases in Photos, relegating old tools like crop and resize no longer free with the app.

     Also, endless nagging to turn on Google backups. And a new UI making it very difficult to find specific photos.

     F-Droid to the rescue.

     @arstechnica what I find sad is Google Suite is the only real alternative to the MS365 hegemony of sadness and mediocrity. But they do their damnedest to actively destroy the offering.
