I deleted the app when the first screen wanted me to sign-in to Google.

Yes, I know that I shouldn't have been surprised had I stopped to think about it for even a moment.

Google already knows more about me than I care for. Having them also know what podcasts I listen to; which episodes I skip; and so on. Well, thanks but no thanks Google.

İ am surprised that google podcasts app despite being new is available in my country. İ’v had the search problem too,but this app is a new app they’ll fix it

I've found a temporary solution to the search button issue. When you navigate backwards, through the app, the search button always appears.
