Subscribe to podcasts that require authentication.We would really like to see more emphasis put on providing users with help and tips but for anyone that is familiar with a podcast app they shouldn’t have any problems. The app moves with purpose and feels light on its feet, navigation, playback and usage are all dealt with swiftly. When you use the skip controls within the app they kick you along in 30 second chunks, you also have a nice big slider to move through the podcast by dragging it to where you want. Believe it or not there are still apps out there that don’t get this right. When it comes to playback the app supports background audio so even if you move away from the app it will continue playing.
In useĭownloading episodes is a breeze and the ability to see the progress visually is a welcome addition as is the dedicated list of the downloaded content. We wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t point out that we’d like to see a section built in to show how much space the podcasts are taking up on the device with an option to clear it all. What is here works well and there is a certain pleasure to just how simple and straightforward it is. We’d really like to see Microsoft allow us more control over how we use our data plan but that is no fault of the app.

Another option available is the choice of trying to download the podcast using your cellular data plan, although the restriction is hard set to nothing more than 20MB by the Windows Phone operating system. You also have the option to delete any listened-to podcasts saving a little bit of time. If you enable this function it will just do it without prompting you, taking to where you need to be. Within the settings of the app you can also choose to enable ‘automatically continue playback’, normal behaviour would be Podcatcher asking you each time if you want to continue where you left off. When it is on, new episodes for the given subscription will be downloaded to your device. For each subscription there is a settings button at the bottom of the screen, if you hit that you can choose to auto-update your podcasts. Once you have your podcast subscriptions setup you will now have the option to view the content description of each episode and of course the choice to download at your will or simply stream it. If you happen to use the gPodder service you can enter in your credentials to grab all you subscriptions in one go. If you are having problems searching out a podcast you can manually add the RSS feed into the app and it will grab the subscription that way. Once you find what you are looking for hit the subscribe button and it will be added to your subscriptions list, filling that empty void. You can search for the name of the podcast if you know it or just use a keyword if you’re simply browsing. If you see nothing that takes your fancy from that small selection then you can ignore these, swipe over to the right and you’ll be presented with a search box.
