9 best podcast managers for iOS

Remember when something interesting on the radio program had to wait? Today it is hard to imagine something like this, because there are podcasts for all tastes, which are available at any time. And, of course, the application to quickly select and listen to your desired podcast. It is of such applications will be discussed in Selection of TheNextWeb.

podcasts

Not to mention a native app Apple - Podcasts. Its design keeps pace with iOS 7 - white background and bright purple elements in a familiar interface, familiar to us on the App Store, iTunes, and other proprietary applications. Going into an "aggregate" is available with the current podcasts (both video and audio), or the most popular in the top charts - in short, everything is arranged "in eplovski" is comfortable and familiar.

Instacast 4

Instacast 4 - is a podcast manager, caressed by the love of the public, but more choice for more advanced listener. There are much more features and functionality than the standard application and Instacast there is also a version for OS X. Many have called it "the best podcast manager in the App Store", so if you for some reason have not yet tried Instacast, the fourth version, which received a great new design "for seven", is an excellent opportunity to do.

Downcast

Downcast among the top three on a par with the previous two contenders for a place in your iPhone. It can be called the "golden mean" - both in terms of price and in terms of functionality. In terms of design application is a mixture Instacasts and Apple's podcast. Like it or not - will remain a private matter. Of interest chips can be seen on the rewind button 15, 30 seconds or 2 minutes.

Pocket Casts

From a distance, Pocket Casts can be confused with colorful application for reading news Flipboard-style. This is because here the podcast covers come to the fore, especially juicy and bright it looks under Featured. The interface can not be accused of congestion, although the number of Pocket Casts functions are not inferior to competitors. For each subscription, you can configure automatic downloading of new episodes, or launch them from a certain point. This is useful if you, for example, is not thrilled with the screen of a podcast.

Castro

Castro - this is for those who love the "smaller". Designed specifically to be commended, however, pressing the "+" button to add a subscription, you will find that there are only two ways to do this: the search or use the link from the clipboard. In addition, there are only two sections. But if you do not mind a modest functionality and appearance of the application is in the first place - safely stop on Castro.

iCatcher!

iCatcher no different memorable design, but it can please the interesting features. For example, you can select any Wi-Fi used to automatically download new releases, and what - no, whether to show the artwork on the lock screen, or set the time between updates. There are plenty of buttons and switches on which lovers to customize everything and everyone will be delighted.

pod Wrangler

Pod Wrangler is theoretically free, but in order to draw more than 5 submissions, include push-notifications and get rid of ads, will have to pay for the full version. However, it is not more expensive than the above applications - just $ 2. The application itself is simple and pleasing interface availability, the ability to search for podcasts by creator, subject, or choose from popular.

SoundCloud

SoundCloud can please a wide variety of content (especially when it comes to music), but serious lack of applications for iOS is completely ill-considered search, which is designed only for the exact title podcasts. The app is suitable for those who have long enjoyed the site SoundCloud, and there has already formed their preferences using the Explore tab. When you configure the application, adding a subscription - new issues will appear automatically.

stitcher Radio

Stitcher Radio is different from its competitors in a nostalgic mood - here podcasts called "stations", and the application designer explicitly profess the good old skeuomorph. There is such a pleasant thing as a Smart Station - it will select podcasts based on the fact that you often listen to and what puts the "thumbs up". It is also an important feature - opening a podcast, you will immediately discover what his positive evaluations. And, of course, there is currently a radio, although the birthplace of most of the radio stations - the United States.
