Instacast and Pocket Casts - the best solution for listening to podcasts for iOS and Android
Android Ios / / December 19, 2019
Credit default solution for listening to podcasts in iOS - bad. It is not just bad, it's really awful. Instead of doing just works, does it just not works: a strange discharge from custom logic podcast RSS-feeds, not all editions of podcasts, which are in the App Store reach me. I am sure that there are those who will say that I'm wrong, but it's the same people who said that skevomorfichnye reel in the first version of Apple Podcasts - it's beautiful. Alternative solutions for listening to podcasts is better in all respects - usability, speed, synchronization.
Below I will tell you about the two solutions that I have used as an alternative to Podcasts, and never wanted to before.
If you have a Mac and all devices on iOS
If on the table, in a bag or pocket you are only devices from Apple, then you will not find better solutions for podcasts than Instacast. All applications for OS X, iPhone, and iPad are paid, but this program makes managing podcasts pleasure. If you add RSS-feeds, the Kaji release will be loaded at the time of its release, and you will learn about it from the push notifications. The program has iOS 7 interface, and updated it in the first wave. This means that the authors of the program complex is rapidly developing Instacast.
Podcasts, subscribe to and listen to the progress synchronized through the cloud, and you start listening podcast for a jog with the iPhone, you can continue listening to the desktop application for OS Instacast X. The application has a flexible configuration of the use of mobile and wi-fi networks, and storage settings listen to a podcast - so that it does not score you disk space.
If you have an Android or mixed ecosystem
Once you have a device other than Apple's production, you use a simple search, you will fall in podkastingovy hell. The decisions that you throw out - a program written in some Perl programmers for programmers in C. The best solution here is often called the program DoggCatcher Podcast Player, which has an interface here:
A setting in the APME so heaped up that are comparable with all together SETUP OS Android. Perhaps this is the solution for those who love the process of setting and who do not care about the result. And I just need to podcasts were themselves in a device that I somehow knew about it, so I do not Managing felt alien cruiser where just want to listen to the latest "access code" Julia Latynina. However, I have a lot of interest in the life and affairs of helps me deal with the only found me a ray of light of the world of podcasting in the Android world.
This Pocket Casts app. It is paid (both incidentally and begemotina DoggCatcher), but it exists for iOS, where I still have a tablet :)
Pocket Casts is a simple and intuitive interface that helps to make the main thing - to subscribe to your favorite podcasts or find something new and audio and video format (catalog is available, of course, only in English language). Podcasts are automatically loaded and the player is easy to use. His control when playing placed in the notification area and lokskrin. Comfortable and everything just works.
Pocket Casts is at its cloud synchronization, which works just as perfectly as in Instacast. I began to listen to the podcast on the Android-smartphone, and finished on iPad. Or subscribe to the iPad, iPhone and it is already loaded.
As for the design, and then everything is tiptop: for iOS 7 - new modern design, and for Android - minimalistic dark and light design (amateurs choose their choosing).
