BrowseCast BBC Podcast Browser (v. 5.7.3) Разработано Christian Dadswell |
UPDATE: BrowseCast HD now available for Android 4+ devices!
NOTE: This app is NOT an Podcast player!
BBC Radio Podcasts Browser with Listen Live (not all Android handsets are compatible). Also includes Radio Schedules for the entire range of BBC Radio stations (where mobile pages are available).
Easily search or browse (by Station or Genre) all available BBC Radio Podcasts. There are hundreds to choose from!
This application works alongside all the major podcasting subscribers and players, including; Pocket Casts, Google Listen (soon to be retired), BeyondPod, DoggCatcher and many others.
Why not follow @bbcbrowsecast on Twitter for updates and other news/information.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
-Launch BrowseCast (new podcast information is downloaded daily)
-Browse or search for a podcast
-View the podcast information and then send the Podcast subscription to your podcasting application of your choice
NOTE: If you attempt to add a podcast to Google Listen that you have already subscribed too, this application will force close. This is the fault of Google Listen and not this application! Please don't leave negative comments if this is what is happening to you. I have logged this issue with the Google Listen team.

CAVEATS:
Podcasts, Listen live and overseas use:
Listeners outside the UK may not be able to listen to BBC podcasts due to BBC licensing. This is down to how the BBC controls content and not this application.
Listen Live Stations:
Not all BBC stations are available for mobile devices. Namely;
- Radio 4 LW
- World Service
Listen Live will soon be depreciated as it no longer works on a large number of devices. For the best mobile Radio experience I'd recommend TuneIn Radio on Google Play.
This application is not affiliated with the BBC. The developer is not an employee of the BBC.
*Information downloaded to this application is direct from the BBC website and is publicly available.

[2012-07-14] A Google User: Great utility Having moved from Apple IOS to Android recently I've had a few problems finding apps for Android that I usually relied upon on my Apple. One of the main ones I used was iTunes to listen to BBC podcasts. Unable to find anything on the Android market by the BBC I was left pretty frustrated by Android and the BBC; however, then I found this app which does exactly what I needed and now lets me search the BBC podcasts much like the way I used to do in iTunes. You still need a podcast listener app, such as Google listen, to be able to listen to these podcasts, but its simple to use and a relief to be able to listen to podcasts again. Thanks for designing and creating this app, it is a real relief to eventually find one that works so well. Why the BBC don't just release their own Android app, I don't know. |

[2012-01-13] A Google User: I love the comments left for this application. If you are having issues on your device why not contact me and I will help where I can. Unfortunately I cannot fund the purchase of the 2000+ android devices out there and then subsequently test them. I am a very amiable person and always respond to emails from the user community. Give me a try! Thank you for your time. |
