Podcasts?

Is there any way to stream podcasts from the watch instead of downloading and transferring to the watch?

Is there any way to stream podcasts from the watch instead of downloading and transferring to the watch?

I've been hoping for a podcast app to come out since December and so far nothing has (to my knowledge). Transferring files over to play in the music app is no big deal to me but not being able to fast-forward/rewind, pickup where you left off at after accidental track skipping, or picking up where you left off from the phone and back to watch is what I really wish could happen.

I reached out to the developer of Podcast Republic (my preferred phone podcast app) but unfortunately they have no plans of creating one any time soon. It definitely wouldn't hurt if more people reached out to developers so they know there is a demand though.

Yes, this is my issue too....I would love Pocketcasts to build a tizen app that could auto download podcasts on watch for standalone mode. I'll reach out to pockecasts and see what they say about tizen.

I would keep my subscription to Spotify if they had this feature.

Here's my email exchange with shift Jelly, pocketcasts developer:

Me: "Hi guys... Do you have any plans to develop a Tizen OS version of the app? That would be a killer feature for Galaxy Gear devices, would love to be able to download podcasts to my gear S3 for standalone mode.... There is a void in the galaxy gear *appstore for this category.*"

Shift jelly:

"Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to send us your feedback.

It has been logged as something to consider as we continue development of the app.*

Shifty Jelly"

That means it won't happen. I'm surprised someone even responded to you.
