The itunes Top Podcasts Player is now available as a free download on Google Play for Android owners. The application is designed for use in English language. It weighs in at only 10MB to download. The new itunes Top Podcasts Player app version 2.4.2 has been updated on 2014-01-19. The Apple Store includes a very useful feature that will check if your device and iOS version are both compatible with the app. Most iPhone and iPad are compatible. Here is the app`s compatibility information: 2.2 and up
We all know iTunes has best collections of podcast in the world, but not on Android platform. Don`t worry, we got you covered. This App will pull the top 10 podcasts from itunes for you ...
I switched over from Pocket Casts after numerous issues with that App I am really happy with Podcast Republic I purchased the paid version Has everything I need to download store play and queue podcasts and to receive notifications about new releases Searching for and subscribing to podcasts is really simple The interface is good and there are lots of options to customise It did take me a few days of experimenting to figure out all the features I found the FAQ section useful Now that I ve got it all worked out I am extremely pleased with this App Very highly recommended I also want to give a special mention to tech support who responded straight away to my email re an issue I was having and provided an immediate fix for the problem Much appreciated K B
Pretty good app I like that it allows me to take notes bookmark places etc I wish the backup feature was more streamlined there are a few different options and I don t understand which combination of them will do the trick Last time I backed up and restored it on my new phone I kept some bookmarks This time I can t find them I wish it just had a simple backup all app information and when you restore sign in on your new phone it gave you the option to re download episodes with bookmarks Jeff Dias
I used to love this app but recently it s started doing something strange When I m listening to podcasts they occasionally stop for no reason Sometimes they ll start playing again when I turn my screen on sometimes I have to go back into the app and sometimes I have to stop the podcast and play it again It makes the app almost unusable Please fix this Jack Morgan
Easy to use Nice features One upgrade I don t like is now when I add a podcast episode it loads at the bottom of the episodes I have in my playlist Used to go to the top It is annoying having to scroll all the way to the bottom to get to recent episodes Also to move an episode to the top you have to take it and then select move to top of playlist The problem is when I tag multiple episodes to move some don t make it to the top and I have to scroll through the list to find them Weird Mike Eid
Excellent experience so far Behavior is easily customized through copious menus and the appearance can also be tinkered with to feel right at home if switching from another app I m really left with the impression that this a thoughtful app due to the attention to detail for example after pausing due to headphone removal podcasts will resume automatically when the headphones are plugged back into the jack Slightly ghetto solution I know but it beats disfunctional in line controls any day Gianni Carlo
I ve tried a ton of the most popular podcast apps for my Pixel 2 All of them have one hassle or another crashing not having a particular feature etc Podcast Republic simply ticks all of the boxes especially for Android as it s what I use All round awesome podcast app To the developers of this app PLEASE DON T MAKE SOME BROKEN ASS UPDATE AND DESTROY THIS WINNER APP It s just awesome Orion Strongman
I ve been using this app for around 2 years and have loved it for all of the various reasons mentioned in other reviews However just recently it has began doing some really odd things like changing episodes involuntarily my screen is off and nothing at all is touching my phone and stopping podcasts I have playing without being touched I have restarted my phone and not had any other apps running In honestly at a loss but these issues are persisting Celeste Cantees
looks promising except that I can t seem to figure out how to play local mp3 files that I have downloaded via browser or other mechanism u003du003d followed your instructions works fine thanks for the quick turnaround Update Was able add local file works well Figured out to add podcasts via RSS URL where search doesn t find them David Corcoran
I m new to using a dedicated podcast player and did a lot of looking around I was sold on this one too use for my private RSS feed as well as my standard pod Easy to use fast to setup and has a feature i didn t even know I wanted smart downloading You can set the app to keep XX amount of pods downloaded and have it automatically delete played episodes I no longer have to manage my episodes and can trust they are always downloaded 5 5 easily Wesley
Solid app that keeps improving Worth supporting Works fine for combination of podcasts and downloaded audio to a folder Current issue is that despite trying every setting files from virtual podcasts from a directory don t get deleted after being played or marked for deletion There seems to be no way to delete these files bit to hunt for them in Files Jason Ronallo
Ive downloaded every single podcast app on the Play Store and thats no exaggeration and Podcast Republic blows the rest away without a doubt Hugely customisable useful features there are even features already here that I asked if other devs to add to their own apps and they told me they wouldn t bother There are a few small bugs I noticed stop and pause seem to do the same thing and a little issue with custom covers that Ive emailed the devs about but Id happily recommend this app rowe red
Takes a little getting used to but has so many great features For example a per pod volume adjustment I wish a few more settings were able to be applied to all pods or maybe I just haven t figured out how For example I would like to set all pods at 1 3x speed by default and then be able to change that directly from the now playing screen Ss best I can determine you have to leave now playing go back to subscriptions click into the pod tab over to settings and scroll to find it Andrew Willardson
This was the highest recommended app I found for podcast listening and at this point it s the only one I can see myself being able to use It s user friendly and works exactly how it needs to The only small gripe I have is super specific using the button on my headphones sometimes doesn t affect any playback until I pull my phone out of my pocket as far as I can see uncovering the sensor next to the earpiece seems to allow it to work Otherwise amazing app can t recommend enough Sean Malik-Williams
Great app I have been using it for years I wish I could play all my sound files through it I have donated money to your app before but I don t remember how to do it You had a feature that said something like Buy Me a Coffee but it s not clear to me anymore If you have something for that let me know Jose Guerrero
I just installed it a few days ago but I really like it I had Castbox but it would consume so much of my battery and it required that it not be optimized or else it would stop playing everytime the screen turns off This one has all the podcasts I listen to and very easy to use You have the options to stream or download and choose the location to store them whether it is in your phone or sd card Also you can change interface color I chose black looks great Nadia Peralta
I ve tried a lot of different podcast apps and each one seemed to be lacking some essential feature for me This one has everything I ever wanted and more It s not as slick looking as others which I actually love but boy does it ever work for me I have absolutely no reason to continue my search for something else Jeff Robson
Update That fixed it Thanx Perfect until the last couple of days Now it arbitrarily stops playing and my earbud controls don t have any effect Also after download a podcast the notification bar shows it s still downloading It shows 0 00 of 0 00 but it goes on even after I ve listened to and deleted the podcast Sometimes if I turn my phone all the way off and then back on it will stop Sometimes it doesn t Lyn Alban
I love this podcast player After trying out Podcast Player which has several annoyances despite paying for it and Castbox which has an obscene subscription model with ad deluges and terrible support I came to this one It s perfect I even paid for it because of the quality The developer is super responsive and works hard so customer service is second to none The only negative I can find is there s no obvious way to auto delete listened and downloaded podcasts but that s a really minor gripe and definitely not worth removing a star I m sure the developer will respond to correct my ignorance too Edit They did You can t beat that customer service I d give an extra star if I could Magus Zeal
Best podcast app out there Started using it way back when it was really rough around the edges It s only gotten better update over update The few rough patches I remember were corrected very quickly by the team My only personal gripe would be that the add that pops up at the bottom of the player currently moves the play control buttons It s a minor inconvenience for a great product though Lance Rodgers
It should be so good but on Galaxy J7 there are some real niggles that weren t around a few months ago The lock screen control has disappeared so you have to load the app back up to pause and resume Also autodownload doesn t work or streaming from data so have to wait for latest podcast to download before it plays Jon Dittman
Multiple shows have severe lag issues which is not caused by my phone It could be sitting next to the router and it still stops after few minutes and then three or four minutes later it starts up again I have to constantly hit stop u0026 start in which case it starts right up again It s a real pain in the butt if you re trying to listen to a podcast and do something else at the same times I have to keep stopping to restart it Michael Welch
After the last update it automatically deletes my episodes after listening I sometimes doze off and when I wake up want to hear what I missed but as soon as I go back to replay it disappears if it has completely played I have searched and cannot find a way to turn that off I ve been using this for a few years and now it s becoming unusable Linda Fretwell
generally a great app However two bugs on Android It will keep playing a podcast in the background Not sure if it is when connected to car but shouldn t be doing it i e when i come back to app after day or two it will have played many minutes of podcast Secondly when podcast interrupted by other notifications such as emails or Waze in car sometimes it pauses briefly and other times it doesn t it seems to skip forward but it seems to be random regardless of settings Chris Huddleston
This app has a very non intuitive interface Trying to play a podcast while driving is an absolute nightmare Besides that it is extremely complicated on my phone to try to stream a podcast using cellular data I highly recommend you avoid this app This is a shame because five years ago podcast republic was my favorite app to use Jim Stewart
it s a very good podcasting app my only criticism is that I don t see a bit rate rating of the radio streams oh so that if I m listening to a program live I can choose something at a lower bitrate particularly with talk because I do not need it at 320 or even 120 per second when when a simple 32 stream would do just fine for talk I may have further feedback at a later time John W. Plummer
I m basing my opinion mostly on me previously using Overcast on iOS which may have spoiled me I find the silence skip here to be mostly so so with it being worthless for some podcasts and too strong on others I wish the playlist functions were more intuitive and the inclusion of an auto playback speed feature would be appreciated Works well otherwise I just want to get more out of it Allen Christianson
I love this app and have used it for years best podcast app for Android But the new update has made it IMPOSSIBLE to move episodes around in my playlists it immediately goes all the way down or all the way up when I try to move an episode please fix this its becoming a huge problem for me and I dont want to switch to another app Jacob Tee
Love this Been using it for yesrs and whenever i try to switch to another podcast app i always feel lost and come back home This is such a great app features are great plays well with all my android devices and has every podcast i can care to look for Cant say enough positive stuff Richard Krudner
Very user friendly interface The only drawback is the lack of show notes pulled from the show websites that are referenced within some of the casts I really like the radio feature I was able to replace two other apps with this feature Willie Tucker
i have tried a number of podcast apps however nothing compares to the quality and ease of use of podcast republic i never hear it mentioned when people are taliing about podcast apps and it really ahould Easy menu navigation easy to put shows in order of preference auto downloads all the great functikns you need in a podcast app the only slight downside is the search function needs a little work for accuracy but have never failed to find what im looking for in the end thanks Jamie Walker
I have tried virtually every podcast app there is and without a doubt this is by far the best imo the customisation options are fantastic it has everything I m looking for and need in a podcast app The only function i would love to see added is podcast recommendations similar podcasts suggestions based on what I m subscribed to but that s just me being greedy because the app is perfect regardless Becka Jordan
I have tried a ton of podcast apps and this is the best one by far It is so full featured and still manages to look nice while doing it I can customise my podcasts exactly as I want It would be great if there was a compatible web player for desktop which syncs everything across but I realise thats probably a massive job Well worth the money to remove ads No complaints at all Joe Coxon
i started using this app as a replacement for a different podcast app and what a change Everything about it does exactly what i want it to do and more The only problem i have is that the stats page is messed up mainly the time saved as well as sometimes at the end of a podcast it just crashes the app dylan walsh
The best podcast app on the market Full sync full featured with banner ads in the bottom Bluetooth controls work as they should contrary to 90 of other apps Now I discovered equalizer so you can increase high frequencies to understand the speech little better while in a noisy env Great job there Keep it up Pavel Helia
Long time user of apple s native podcast service couldn t find anything on android I enjoyed using till I found this app So many more features on this app than I ever realized I needed Use the feature skip beginning end xx seconds to avoid ads at beginning and end of episodes Set the app to auto download oldest unplayed episode of specific podcasts back catalog Best feature if your headset only has 3 buttons you can remap the buttons so you can fast forward through commercials love it D W
Another Pocket Casts Refugee Im loving the playback speed option I immediately paid to remove ads Would get 5 stars if this app has a play last option where you can put a podcast to the bottom of your playlist Makes sense since they have a play next feature Mowgli
