Not directly related to his post, but if you haven't tried Pocket Casts yet, I highly recommend it. Best podcast app I've ever used, hands down.


Do however be wary if you use it in a car. I've found it quite flaky. That includes randomly stopping for no apparent reason (on content that was fully downloaded), random crashes, forgetting things (like it was playing a list of episodes not just one), starting to play 2 hours after I pressed play, forgetting position and the list goes on.

They were responsive the first time I contacted them (before buying) but ignored my emails after I had bought and found issues like the above.

If you aren't in a car then you can resolve most of those issues by pressing the right buttons in the app. However while driving you can't, hence it mattering a lot more.


Agree 100%. Also, it has serious streaming problems. Don't bother starting a podcast unless it's 100% downloaded.


Yeah doesn't work in the car for me either, cuts out a couple minutes in usually.


If we're sharing podcast apps, DoggCatcher the podcast player is probably the best one on android.


I'll add Podcast Addict to the list, constantly updated and Chromecast support is awesome.
