Car Cast Pro - Podcast Player for Android
Car cast pro is very good at doing what it promises to do, schedule download, play, auto delete
3 years ago, I had an Android phone and this was the best podcast so I could find. I moved to Windows phone and had a better podcast so. (iPodcast). When I recently came back to Android, I tried all the podcast apps, and thought this was the best, but after a second look I decided that Podcast Addict does what this one doers and much more.
The one complaint I had about this app was that I couldn't speed up the playback. I tried other apps that did that, though, and hated them all. Last night, I realized that feature was now available. Got Stable Speed, and it works!
I've been using CarCast for several years. I like it enough that I upgraded to Pro. Recently, I upgraded my phone to a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 with Lolipop (5.1.1) and I'm having trouble with CarCast Pro forgetting my last-played location. It seems to always go back to a particular podcast that I listened to over a week ago.
Works reliably, big friendly controls, easy to locate specific podcasts. No feature creep, no ads, no annoyances.
I have tried dozens of pod catchers and the ease of use of this one, wins the day.
I have had this application for almost 4 years now it never fails. I get all my favorite podcasts on it
I've used every podcast app out there. This one is simplest... And actually works!
This app is exactly what I was looking for. I used the free version so often that I decided to purchase Car Cast Pro to support the developer. Car Cast simply downloads a podcast from its RSS feed. You can search for a podcast by its title or plug in the location yourself. The only addition on my wish list is an easier way to sort my downloaded podcasts. They can really stack up sometimes, so I would love some organizational folders to separate them.
I previously gave this product 5 stars because it was the best podcast player for my needs. It still is. I love this app for its focus on simplicity and functionality. The latest update was an incredible improvement, making me wish I had more stars to give. Now the app responds to my steering wheel or bluetooth headset controls and pauses while my GPS is giving directions. My only request is to make it easier to make an SD card the memory store, a task that currently takes some determination and research.
A great and functional player.
Works offline, which is great. It isn't easy to wade through a large backlog of downloaded files, since there's no searching or sorting. Sometimes I hit the microphone button, which is never what I want. Overall it's quite good.
Does the job. No confusing frills.
If you just want to download podcast and listen to them this is the app. Easy controls. Great when driving.
Aside from Chromecast support ... Just doesn't get more simple and functional.
Doesn't pause for notifications. Basic can be good but this app hasn't kept up with the times. Switched to Pocket Casts.
Great for nightly podcast download when on wifi and then to listen to them during the day. New music every day thanks to this app
Does what it does, excellently! I have a suggestion for an enhancement... Please could you add an option to change where the podcasts are downloaded to? The default being the current /mnt/sdcard This is because on many phones, the /mnt/sdcard is actually mapped to a internal usb memory, with the real sdcard being mounted to /mnt/sdcard/sd_external I have a 64Gb sdcard in my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone, but Carcast is currently unable to store its podcasts on it because of this.
Try the free version.... Pay for it once it prooves itself!
I love it, I download my morning radio, NPR news, sports, carcast car talk, comedy podcasts and listen to it on my commutes and while I'm at work. Commercial free radio! You can have it auto download and it's ready in the morning! This is really cool, a definite help!
I have emailed him several times with questions and suggestions. He always got right back to me.
I use this every day for my fantasy football podcasts every day. Not sure what I would do without it. Best such app out there
Just what you need for your auto subscriptions
This app works exactly how I want on my HTC Thunderbolt. I wanted a podcast player so I could listen to things on my way into work and my way home from work, with big buttons to press while at red lights, an easy menu, and invisible downloads. Got it! This is ideal for drivers. Note: I download only when connected to wifi and with the Tasker app I’m connected to wifi every night, overnight, hence invisible. :-)
I have had this application for almost 2 years now it never fails can I get all my favorite podcasts on it
Simple and simply working.... tried many, happy only with this one. Came back just to buy it and thank the developer.
I no longer have to think about downloading podcasts. Auto download over wifi so always podcasts to listen to in the car. Thanks.
Brilliantly simple. UI needs just minor updates and improvements. Should have a button to quickly switch to podcast list.
I take the bus to work, but this easy to use app is great for that too :-) I've just discovered the voicenote feature and love it!
This is my most-used app. The only complaints I have are that it crashes when switching between wireless and 3G, and the minimal support for show notes.
Perfect... Does everything i want.
It doesn't need a degree to use, it's really obvious. It remembers where you were up to and can auto download new podcasts if you want. Some times simple is best - this is one of those times.
Great Basic Podcast App
Sequential listening to podcasts based on the order they've downloaded makes it behave like a custom radio station. One feature that keeps me from giving this four stars is the inability to bulk import subscriptions. This makes setup after switching phones a bit more painful than I'd like.

I LOVE this app. It's so simple, yet so effective. Hands down the best podcast app out there.
... gives you everything you need... and nothing more. Great app!

I have used the free version for a few years for listening to podcasts to earn professional development units to keep my certification active. Experienced a problem, notified the supplier, Mr Herrmann, and he fixed it almost immediately. Now I'm a paid user, due to a great product and incredible customer service!
