Podcast app that remembers where you left off

[SAWYER]

I am using google music and it does no t remember where you were in the podcast

 

[Nvidiaguy07]

doggcatcher is awesome. Does everything you could ever want in a podcast app and more. Go try the free one week trial, and if you like it, its well worth whatever theyre charging now.

BeyondPod does this for at least two podcasts that you might be listening to simultaneously. I haven't tested with continuing more than two podcasts.

I went with Doggcatcher, and yeah, it does this for as many as I've tried.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

I use podcatcher

 

[SlitheryDee]

I use pocket casts, which seems to keep track of where I left off in an unlimited number of podcasts. I mean, it tells me exactly how many minutes I have left in several episodes each of the dozen or so podcasts that I listen to. The only limit is that it deletes podcasts automatically after I have listened to them (I set it to do that), and no longer keeps track after they are deleted. My only complaint is that the widget sometimes doesn't work correctly.

I also dont need it to download the podcssts, I download them with itunes and sync them to my phone

sorry i guess i should have asked, are you using an iphone, or android device?

 

[SAWYER]

Android

 

[SniperWulf]

Another +1 to BeyondPod

Are you using iTunes to sync all your music and everything?

If your just using it for podcasts, it's worth trying doggcatcher. Just download over wifi. You can have it do it automatically. I can't recommend it enough.

Also not really related: this is not a test is an awesome podcast. Someone on here recommended it, and i never miss a show. Will, Gary, and norm are awesome, and if you haven't heard it yet, give it a shot.

I'm with nVidiaguy. I started doing it your way, Sawyer. I used Doubletwist to sync my iTunes podcasts to my Android phone, but then I went down the path of DoggCatcher and just set it up to auto-download podcasts to the phone directly when I'm connected to WiFi and I'm much more happy with this approach. I don't have to remember to use iTunes and the podcasts are automagically on my phone when I want them.

I'd recommend just trying the trial for DoggCatcher - or one of the other ones mentioned above if they have free trials - and see what you think. If you don't like it, then just uninstall it.

 

[SAWYER]

OK I am going to try doggcatcher

 

[micrometers]

Dude, every single iPod does this.

 

[SAWYER]

Wow really? What is an ipod and where can I get one?

 

[SAWYER]

I dont seem to be able to fast forward, that sucks

 

[Nvidiaguy07]

you can set those buttons to skip forward or back however long you want. I set it to skip forward or backward 30 seconds. OR if you want you can drag across the bar to move forward and backwards. I wouldnt prefer having it any other way.

I wish they made downcast for android

 

[dagamer34]

For iOS users, Instacast wins, hands down.

 

[SAWYER]

I have been using it and like it but it doesnt automatically download them. Maybe there is a setting I can change

 

[jhansman]

I am weaning myself off my work-supplied iPod to depend solely on my phone for music and podcasts, and so far, DoubleTwist has worked for me; still needs work, though. Been trying Winamp Pro, but its interface is not good. Gonna take a look a Doggcatcher.

doggcatcher? I think by default theyll download automatically, but if not theres a setting you can change.

You can have it update when you open program/turn phone one/every x hours etc. You can also specify how many episodes to automatically download, and which episodes to keep after youve met that number.

It will do exactly what you want it to, you just have to go into the settings and adjust it.

 

[SAWYER]

It auto updates the feeds but I have to click the download button

 

[Nvidiaguy07]

You have to specify how many episodes you want to auto-download.
