[2013-07-23] A Google User: Best free podcast app I've found. I like that it's simple. Lots of podcast apps try to get too fancy and the core features suffer but this strikes a perfect balance of features and usability. My only complaint is that the interface is kind of ugly. |
|
[2013-07-19] A Google User: Easy to use - Full featured A perfect app to listen to a few podcast. Very easy to use. Lightweight app. After the dismissal of Google Reader, I would have liked to import an OPML file. |
|
[2013-06-02] A Google User: Not for me. No information at all for any podcast. Can only batch download. |
|
[2013-06-02] A Google User: what i need. Simple but does what it says. I love it!!! |
|
[2013-05-27] A Google User: Great App I love this app. It works great and does what I want it to do. The only thing I would like to see added is the ability to download older pod casts. |
|
[2013-05-24] A Google User: Excellent Does everything I need in an easy-to-understand way. |
|
[2013-05-22] A Google User: Simple is best I've tried them all, this has the simplest ui and works just great, I love it. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: A must-have app for podcast addict! Easy to use simple UI. Reliable in terms of downloading speed. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Not as good I've used other podcast players that were way easier to use than this. Un installed |
|
[2013-04-25] A Google User: Great app Brilliant, it does exactly what I need to play podcasts on my car commute! Only improvement I'd like is user-defined fwd/back amounts (I like 30 secs fwd but would prefer only 10 secs back). |
|
[2013-03-19] A Google User: A few quirks but does the job just fine The menus aren't always available from the screens I expect, but otherwise the app does exactly what I want: download and play the podcasts I want. |
|
[2013-03-16] A Google User: Only one thing missing... Great app that does almost everything I need. The only thing that's missing is that it doesn't seem to lower the volume when a notification comes in. Oh, and recently the "delete listened to" option doesn't seem to work, but that might be a ROM related thing. |
|
[2013-03-14] A Google User: Works, but usability is to be improved You add a podcast rss URL, and set up the amount of podcasts to load, and it works. Great app, but somewhat hard to find rss urls. Check out BBC website with help on podcasts. It helped me. |
|
[2013-03-01] A Google User: Mixed Nice big buttons, but I couldn't work out how to actually play the podcasts that I downloaded. There are 40 tracks now but if I pick some to play, it only offered me Delete. I also can't work out how to download single podcasts without subscription. As I can't play the podcasts that I want to listen to, not really a usable app for me. Maybe better instructions would fix this? |
|
[2013-02-25] A Google User: Worthy successor to Listen I missed Listen until I found this. Commuting is fun again. |
|
[2013-02-25] A Google User: Excellent Very good |
|
[2013-02-24] A Google User: Amazing app! For those who like listening to podcasts while driving |
|
[2013-02-24] A Google User: Listen mania I also have an hour commute and use this app everyday. Love features and ease of use. |
|
[2013-02-24] A Google User: Awesome. Dead simple. Perfect. Easy. Pauses for calls, alerts, etc and restarts automatically nearly all the time. |
|
[2013-02-23] A Google User: Excellent apart from one very annoying feature A great app in almost every way, with one very annoying exception: Choosing which podcast to play is a horrendous exercise: from the main screen you have to hit the menu button -- the tiny one on your phone. Then from the tiny popup menu you have to choose "podcasts" -- try that while driving! Then you have to scroll through an enormous list of all downloaded files, in an *extremely* tiny font. And after you select, it doesn't take you back to the player, you have to use your phone's "back" key. |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: Use Dailey Great app, use a lot |
|
[2013-02-01] A Google User: Great in the car 5 stars with one minor reservation. I mount my phone landscape in the car and between the app title bar, the ads and the podcast title, almost half the useable screen real estate is used up. I would love of you could reduce or remove the app title bar or integrate the podcast title better. |
|
[2013-01-21] A Google User: Essential everyday tool I tried about 4 or 5 other podcast players before settling on Car Cast. It downloads reliably and its memory feature is excellent. Opening it is the first thing i do when i get in the car for my commute. I tried to buy the pro version but Google wallet doesn't work for me, so i'm stuck with the ad version for now. There are a few additional features i'd like: 1. Better time granularity than 24 hrs (to cope with the fact that i'm in a different time zone than that where most of the podcasts to which i listen are published). 2. Prioritisation of podcasts (so that higher priority podcasts float to higher in the list) 3. Automatic archiving and deletion on a per-podcast basis. |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: It just works Used this for around a year now and it's great. I install, and subscribe, and set preferences and your good to go. Podcasts are there, ready and waiting when you want them. GUI is basic but has high contrast for use in car so is functional if not pretty. If you like and use go pro |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Simple and reliable. |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Has potential This is quite a nifty little app. Only has one issue for me - it won't download new podcasts. Keeps saying no new even tho I know there are. Have to erase history & it then tries to download all podcasts since the dawn of time |
|
[2012-12-25] A Google User: Great Does exactly what it says. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: A little funky Doesn't download unless explicitly started by me. Downloads the same podcast multiple times. It would be nice to be able to use it as a player for podcasts on device. Another nice feature would be a "share" option |
|
[2012-12-09] A Google User: Force close |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Great app! |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Quick and easy |
|
[2012-11-01] A Google User: Simple & Fantastic! First and only app I've tried for postcasts. Love it. |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: Daily notification is annoying I don't need to be notified every day that my one weekly podcast was not downloaded. |
|
[2012-10-29] A Google User: Great-Simple-Better than Stitcher! I have been listening to podcasts for over eight years now. With my current job I travel a lot. When I switched to an Android phone two years ago I found Car Cast and immediately loved the simple, but, easy to navigate interface. Because I listen to 30 different podcasts, several of them advertise for Stitcher, so I tried it. Because my travel takes me on planes, and in rural areas when I drive, the Stitcher app didn't work very well for me. Additionally, I frequently like to rewind as many of my podcasts are technical in nature so I need to re-listen to catch the information. Doing that on Stitcher frequently caused it to hang. One of the biggest assets of this program is the MICROPHONE. When I hear something I want to follow up on I can easily press the MIC button on the app, record a follow up note and return to listening. I also like the button that allows me to email a podcast link to family and friends. I highly recommend this app, I purchased the Pro version as well and it works very nicely. There are some feature improvements needed but overall an EXCELLENT APP! |
|
[2012-10-20] A Google User: best podcast app here. And free! |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Really like the ordering feature Has ads. Needs select all / none for checkboxes b /c when you've moved some to top or bottom they stay selected. Have to scroll to unselect. |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Simple and good to use |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Car Cast This is about the 5th podcast program I've tried and it's by far the best. I've been using it every day for about six months with no complaints. |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: Easy to use Have used this app for a year now. Perfect simple podcast finder, downloader, and player. |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Sortof Difficult to find podcasts and well just hard. |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: Love It! After making the switch from iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the most difficult part was finding a good podcast player. This one more than fit the bill. Thanks for putting it out there! |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Drive distracted Really difficult to navigate the podcast list while driving. Larger type and folders would be a great improvement. |
|
[2012-09-28] A Google User: Awesome use it everysingle day. just need play, pause controls on lock screen & also play, pause option using bluetton. Still its a grat app |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: So easy You're my hero-I needed this but never had the time to do it myself |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Personal Info. No! I won't update until you get rid of the access to my personal information. |
|
[2012-09-07] A Google User: Great app |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: Finestkind A great free podcast manager/player. I like it enough to give the vote of confidence of upgrading to Pro. |

[2012-07-12] A Google User: Great! Her is a tip developer Download this at once. Best podcast app I have seem on here. Have a separate mode or menu for delete and play. Too often I will try to delete something and I miss that check mark. Then I have to wait for the lag to play. Then eventually it forces close on me. Fix that then it would be 5 stars. |

[2012-07-09] A Google User: Slick and Responsive Carcast is one of those apps I would really rather not do without. So I was dismayed when I saw that the updated version accessed sensitive user data. So what's a girl to do? Email Bob the developer. Within the hour I got a response with an explanation, "This is used when someone chooses to send a "download report" to the developers for analysis. Car Cast doesnt access this data unless so directed by a user." Bob is a solid developer and I have been in love with this product for some time, so it's really great to know that he also is concerned with with security and responsivenes to his fans. Way to go Bob! 5 stars for simplicity, support, and consideration. |
