Podcast App

[Kayza]

I'm looking for a podcast app that does two things:

1. Allows me to speed up palyback
2. Allows me to set the app to automatically download new episodes of podcasts I follow (on a cast by cast basis) and to do so only on wifi.

Pocketcasts is a great app and will do all of this

I'll give a look at it.

Is it free?

I use the pro (paid) version of this app, and it does all you want. Not sure if the free version does.

No it's like $4 or $5 but well worth it. Might have a free trial, not sure.

Pocket Cast is definitely worth it.

No free trial, which is a problem for me. I want to get a look at it and use it for a day or two before I buy. I've come to realize that some of my interface preferences are probably idiosyncratic, so I really want to check it first.

The free version does seem to do what I want although I'll probably pay for it if I continue to use it. But I REALLY don't like the interface. Is it possible to change the color / theme. I think the prime problem for me is the dark theme.

Doesn't look like it.

The past 2 episodes of one of my podcasts are not being displayed in the Google Podcasts app. Not having this problem with any of my other podcasts. The episodes in question are available on other apps. I have seen suggestions elsewhere to force stop the download manager app, I tried this and it did not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

I've settled on PodBean for now. It's pretty good and does the the two things I most need.
