G+_Ludwig Ederle Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi there, being new to Android I am wondering what a good podcast app might be. Any suggestions? I already tried iPP Podcast Player which I am not happy with and I am not managing to add AAA to Google Listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Fridley Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 My favourite at this point is Doggcatcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snoggdoggler.android.applications.doggcatcher.v1_0 Has all the features I need and just works the way I want..

G+_James Fridley Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 As for the best player, if like me you like to speed up the videos to watch more in less time (while automatically changing the pitch to compensate), or like to sometimes play the video in the background, I'd recommend BS Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Bunselmeyer Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Another very popular one is Pocket Casts. I switched from DoggCatcher to Pocket Casts a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Fridley Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Tried pocketcasts too...it just never did it for me. Believe I had issues with file management... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_James Chao Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Adding to the conversation--is there a podcast app that can also "sync" in the desktop environment (either with itunes or another desktop app or even web)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Moralez Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I use Podkicker. Works pretty good and fairly easy to manage. Haven't tried the others, except Listen like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ludwig Ederle Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 On iOS I used Downcast and was very happy with it- Any similar app on Android? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Ricci Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I like stitcher too, gets rid of all the hassle and just let's you listen to what you want. Been using it for a few years. Used dogcatcher also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Hullinger Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I say pocket cast on android that's what I used and on iOS I use iCatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Johan Appelgren Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 BeyondPod, only one that properly manages its background service which is essential for good device performance on a low memory device like my Galaxy Nexus. GUI is a bit cluttered but it is getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_William Fawcett Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 No question, PocketCasts. (Variable playback speed, automatic playlist creation and an awesome interface.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 iPPP is free and as such is unrefined and needs care and feeding and massaging. Listen is unusable now as it used Google Reader as the backend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Philip Scherry Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've been extremely happy with BeyondPod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jason Bunselmeyer Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Pocket Casts released a major update recently. If you haven't checked it out recently you might take a look at the new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Chris Shaddick Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've used them all but like Pocket Casts the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ned Jeffery Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Doggcatcher is my choice as it is good for handling videos as well as audio. With many MANY options for managing your feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
