I am currently using Podcast Addict, but am not finding it at all intuitive.
On another - work - phone, with a very restricted range of approved apps, I was using Spotify, which worked a lot better for me, but I would like to go for a podcast-specific app given the choice, since I don't plan on using Spotify for actual music or anything, and it seems a bit overkill for podcasts alone.
I started using PocketCasts years ago based on a recommendation I saw in a thread like this, and I've stuck with it all this time. It consistently comes up in recommendation threads for good reason: great features and UI, customizable, no pushy BS. The big gripe I see most people mention is that having listening history sync between your phone and desktop is a premium feature, but I only ever listen on my phone so I've always been happy with the base version.
Google has a pretty good podcasts app, but u stopped using it after it reset my subscriptions a few times.
I am now using Pocket Casts (paid version). I don't know if you'd call it intuitive, it's not much different from Google podcasts, I guess you have to get used to the app before it becomes intuitive for you.
