Theres no shortage of podcast managers for Android, and a lot of them are really good.
Where It Falls Short
Like we said, Pocket Casts isnt perfect.
Its great, but there are a few notable issues that stand out when you use it.
First, Pocket Casts doesnt support private, secure, or authenticated podcast feeds.
Thats a tough one, considering a lot of other podcast apps for Android do.
Similarly, Pocket Casts cloud sync and cloud updates are both a blessing and a curse.
If you find yourself scanning the list above and thinking but…what about X?
then this app may not be for you.
Dont expect lots of specific or niche features to pile in anytime soon.
The Competition
DoggCatcher($2.99) was our previous favorite pick.
So what went wrong?
Well, nothing reallywe still think DoggCatcher is incredible.
Its featurepacked, and we cant stress that enough.
Support for your own RSS feeds and newsreading?
Plus,we covered it when it was in beta!
Like the others above, it also has Chromecast support and Android Wear notifications, which are nice.
However, like the others here, its certainly worth a look.
Podkicker(Free) is free, simple, and well…pretty bare bones.
Its free, you get what you pay for, and I dont mean that in a bad way.
