Unless something goes horribly awry with it, I won’t be looking for other alternatives. Overall, this is the best Android podcast aggregator I have tried to date. I don’t need to figure out where I was in the episode when I move to a different device. Sometimes I am listening to a podcast on the commute home from work and resume it on my tablet when I arrive home. There is a free account needed which I gladly signed up for. One of the features that really sold me was the syncing from device to device. Be careful not to have too many download automatically or you could go through a lot of data or fill up your phone storage quickly. If you know you’d like all of the newest episodes of a podcast to download, you can set this up to do it automatically. Also, you can find options to delete the downloaded files after the episode has been played to help save space and clutter on your device. One nice feature I have not come across before is being able to start several seconds in to avoid having to listen to the intro or intro music.Īnother good option is to have the app check for new episodes once a day. In the settings, you have several choices to set up how the podcasts are downloaded and played. What’s nice is, you can also stream it using Pocket Casts or in an external player. When subscribed, you will see the latest episode and have the option to download it to your device. When clicking on the podcast, you will see the description, recent episodes and the option to add it to your list. The results will pull up all the possibilities out there. Another option is to search for a keyword like “Major League Soccer”. If you are just starting out, you can easily add podcasts by searching for the website. This saves a lot of time if you are using another feed reader or were using Google’s Listen app. There is an option to import an OPML file. What I like is the ability to import a list of previously accumulated podcasts. In my opinion, this is the best Android podcast app you can find in Google Play. We don’t usually talk about the paid apps if there is a free version of something that will do an equally good job. In my hunt, I came across the app Pocket Casts.
