G+_Scotty Stock Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hey know it all's, can you recommend a solid podcast app for android that downloads both audio and video podcast for offline playback? I was using Podcast addict, but it is giving me a lot of problems lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Bruce B Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I wish I could. Podcast One is the best I've found but it still sucks. I guess the iOS podcast app spoiled me. I truly hope someone answers this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian Horovitz Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Pocket casts is what i have been using. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Will O'Meara Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I like beyond pod, has chrome cast support too! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.beyondpod&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm1vYmkuYmV5b25kcG9kIl0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scotty Stock Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Brian Horovitz I see a review or 2 says there are problems since the last update. I take it you are not having these? Do you might sharing what phone you are running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scotty Stock Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Will O'Meara I see a review that says it doesn't pause when a call comes in. Do you have that issue? or does the reviewer just need to adjust his settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scotty Stock Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Bruce Bridwell Wow Bruce, every review on Google play agrees with you that Podcast One sucks... I think you should be checking out Pocket casts and Beyond one. Both look good on paper (so to speak). I will pick one and try it after work and post my thoughts here.

G+_Will O'Meara Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Scotty Stock it has always paused for me, the only slight annoyance I have had with it is that it will sometimes grab priority from other media apps even if it wasn't the last used. So if I press pause on google play music with my headset or car stereo (both bluetooth) and after a while (like 5 or more minutes) press play sometimes beyond pod will play rather than GPM. I'm on the unlocked moto x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian Horovitz Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Scotty Stock no I've had no issues with the newest version. I'm running CM11 on a Gs4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scotty Stock Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 ok, so if I have issues with either app it will probably be due to my cheapo phone then.... Thanks for the feed back, I'll have to try then both and report back on how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Jurisch Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I used to use Dogcatcher on Android and it worked pretty well. I'm on iOS for the past few years but I assume it's still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Curtis Stone Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 +1 for Doggcatcher, I use it all the time and just noticed it has chromecast support now too, which I will have to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scotty Stock Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 So I went with pocket cast first, mostly because it was cheaper. Had some issue with the download, but I think that may have been my WiFi. I was able to get it up and running without the instructions. So far it has been great. Just need to look up how to make it go on to the next show when on finishs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian Horovitz Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Scotty Stock you can press and hold on an episode and click the little + in the top right and click "up next" or if you click on an episode when the details come up there will be the little + on that page. When you are in the now playing screen you can swipe left and the que will come up and you can rearrange the order they will play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
