    My favorite podcast app on Windows Phone, faultless playback and performance and lets me stay in touch with both the radio shows I enjoy and find new podcasts to listen to. All I want bow is a Windows8 version. Worth every penny.

    Too few options in trial to even see if it is good

    Pros:
  • by Derek 5/23/2013
    Needs the ability to mark all as played in each feed, not just selecting each episode as played individually
  • by Jacob 5/17/2013
    Used this app for months now, and I love it. The latest updates have made it faster, crisper, and more stable. I cannot recommend it more highly.

    Awesome. If you listen to podcast then this is the app for you
  • by Brian 5/16/2013
    I've tried several podcast apps and this is by far the best. The UI is simple, it consistently resumes to the proper place, it marks which streams have been played, and it consistently updates and finds new episodes. Most importantly, stability is good. Overall I'm very happy with the app and recommend it over the built in alternative from MS.

    Working just fine for now. But how many podcast can I be subscribed to?!
  • by Jared 5/12/2013
    Great app. Saves my place consistently. Downloading or streaming options. Manual pull to refresh. That's everything I could ask out of a podcast app all wrapped in a unique UI. Give me a windows 8 version where I can sync my subscriptions and saved time stamps and I will be soooo happy. Some odd UK spellings for a US resident like me, but that's cool.
