Pocket Casts can be downloaded today for free from the popular Amazon Appstore for Android.
Do you do the podcasts? Another term Apple coined, podcast, has sparked a popular craze amongst web and mobile users. One way to get a favorite podcast is to subscribe to a sites RSS feed and download the podcast from within the feed. Another is to use an official app of the site you frequent and hopefully it allows easy access to their own podcasts. Though if you frequent a few or more podcasts from different sites, you'll have a lot of apps just for all those sites. You could just use your mobile browser and bookmark each sites podcast page.
But one problem with most of these solutions is updating. Apple does this right by allowing you to set rules to how many and how often podcasts are downloaded to your machine, though you must download to a computer then tether to transfer to an iPhone or iPod. This should be changing if it hasn't already, thanks to Apples iCloud. Its been a long time coming. Heck, it may have not even come if it weren't for Android having done everything without needing to be tethered to a computer at all. Don't get me started on the Notifications drop down.
Enter Pocket Casts, an all in one podcast searching, bookmarking, downloading, and updated utility to keep you up to date on all your audio and video podcasts.
My first attempts to view podcasts before downloading is posing some challenges so far. I'm having to tap the same selection several times to get past errors suggesting there is no content when there clearly is. Even of a solid WiFi connection this app is taking forever to load the Engadget podcast only to get an "Error: No podcast details available." I'm going to keep at it though because this app has the potential for success if I can get it to work.
Give it a shot if you're into podcasts.
