OK. I've seen several polls and other threads but am having trouble finding a podcast manager that is right for me. I've tried several of the more popular free ones and none seem to have all of the features I'm after. I am willing to spend money on one, and am going to start trying the ones that have full feature - time limited trials, but I don't want to start dropping money on apps I'll later be dissatisfied with. If it helps, I'm moving from Dr. Podder on the Palm Pre, just got the Galaxy S3 yesterday.
Features I'm looking for:
I appreciate any advice you are willing to share.
Features I'm looking for:
- Must have
- Ability to manually add rss/atom feeds - sometimes I listen to feeds from podiobooks, serialized full length audiobooks, which as far as I know are not in any of the "normal" podcast directories.
- Per feed settings for auto download/number of episodes to download - some feeds I want to keep the four most recent un-listened to episodes so if I've listened to episodes 20, 21, and 22 I want the app to know to get 18, 19, 23, and 24. This is so I can listen to the newest episodes while catching up on the old episodes, great for music podcasts.
Other feeds I only want to download episodes manually, and other feeds I want all un-listened to episodes. - As number 2 implies,it should keep track of what episodes I have listened to.
- Nice to have
- Halfway decent forward/backward skipping - for those times I try/fail to study spanish.
- Ability to import OPML file so I don't have to enter all my feeds by hand.
- Other per feed settings - Delete when finished/hide podcast files from system (so they don't show up in other media players), etc.
- Full featured trial version. So I can check it out before committing $
- Good price. I'm willing to spend money but obviously the lower the better
I appreciate any advice you are willing to share.
