Video Podcatcher Deluxe

I loved the app and used it for a while but had trouble downloading a particular podcast I wanted to listen to the next day. I emailed and the developer Kevin was very responsive and sorted my problem out with 2 email interchanges and plenty of time to spare.

Update 10/16/16: Used Sync function through free 2 GB Dropbox account to quickly transfer all podcasts from my old phone to my new phone with absolutely no problems. Still using this app on a daily basis and highly recommend it. Update 2/6/16: Love this app. Still using it daily on my Nvidia Shield Tablet. Automates my podcast download and playback, saves time and simplifies the task. Using it for video podcasts on my Tablet and audio on my Phone. Great support from developer.

Ideally delivered in an attractive package called Podcatcher. Good variety that I can stream or download. Otherwise, just recommend for a quick response. Perfect for travelling in planes.

I looked at (tested) ALL podcast apps on Android that have the gPodder (a cross-platform open source podcast aggregator for Windows, Mac, Linux etc.) sync capabilities, and this app is the best and therefore my final choice. Although it doesn't have the sleekest look, it has the most convenient/efficient layout and best usability for me. It updates/loads lightning fast which is the most important to me as I have 50+ podcast subscriptions. I really like the 3-column layout for maximum info at a glance. Try out with the free version (Simple Podcatcher) first and see if you like the controls. I had to have the video version because I subscribe to video podcasts. Videos play on full screen with one touch and have the same ff/rw buttons as the audio player. You barely notice the buffering as it only takes 1-2 seconds. The dev was super responsive and replied my email of questions. He also said he will consider feature suggestions, so I'll definitely stick around. 

Love the app. I have tried many podcast apps and they have all had their quirks, some more profound than others. This was has all the features you need and more. Love that I can also watch video podcasts! The only negative is a bug I found in the export of the OPML file. Other podcast players can not read the exported file because you are not including a unique title in the feeds, so missing; title="something unique" . Please fix this. Giving one less star until fixed. UPDATE 09/28/2014: Kevin the developer is awesome. He fixed the Podcatcher export to work with outside podcast applications. Great communication. Still love the app. Raising review to 5 stars. Thanks Kevin!

Superb interface, very responsive developer. Does not rename podcast files, and that's a very good thing.

Great app.

Developer is still around, provides updates as well as interacts with customers. Not limited to recent Android release. This makes it well worth the coin.

Simple and works - unlike my experiences with Podfy and MyPOD.

Auf der Suche nach einem guten Podcast Programm stieß ich auf den "Simple Podcatcher" den ich installierte und ausprobierte. Er gefiel mir sehr gut, da er leicht und intuitiv zu bedienen war und genau das machte, was ich wollte. Die Aufteilung in drei Spalten (beim Tablet) oder in drei Ebenen (beim kleineren Display des Handys) überzeugen und helfen dabei den Überblick zu behalten. Gerne habe ich mir deshalb die Kaufversion zugelegt um Folgen auch speichern und später offline hören (oder sehen) zu können. Das Funktionsprinzip gleicht im Grunde der "simple" Version, ist aber um (automatische) Speicher- und Löschfunktionen erweitert. In der "Video Podcatcher Deluxe" Version kann man neben den Audio-Podcasts auch noch Video-Podcast laden, eine Erweiterung, die ich gerne mit nutze. Wer auf Videos verzichten kann, dem sei "Podcatcher Deluxe" ans Herz gelegt. Eine Rückmeldung an den Entwickler blieb übrigens nicht lange unbeantwortet, damit hatte ich gar nicht gerechnet und rundet das positive Bild des Podcatchers ab. Eine App, die ich gerne weiter empfehle und die ihr Geld definitiv wert ist. Dafür gebe ich gerne 5 Sterne.

This was the best app for viewing video podcasts in WebOS and the Android version is even better.

I had some trouble getting the podcast I warned. I am not tech savvy at all, but Kevin was super helpful. He even offered to refund my money if we couldn't get it worked out. Luckily he was able to help me get it working right!

I followed this dev from another platform. The app is feature-rich, but the best feature is the developer. He's constantly improving his apps and is remarkably responsive to suggestions.

Have been using it for about a month now on a daily basis. Automates my podcast download and playback, saves time and simplifies the task. Mostly use it for video podcasts on my nexus 7 and audio on my nexus 4.

Audio works perfectly and video playback is great. No problems importing from OPML. Another home run!

After having problems getting the video to play I contacted the app developer and he quickly resolve my problem.

I have been a fan of of this developer's apps across a couple platforms. They have been intuitive and easy to use. And the developer had always been responsive to any of my concerns or questions. Thanks for another great app!
