Podcast App for WP8

[MATT_AUSTIN1]

I just switched from IOS/Android and I am in need of a podcast app. I do not like the podcast for the new WP 8.1. Any help would be great.

you can give this app a try Podcast Lounge | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (India)

Yup, Podcast Lounge is very good.

If you wan't completely free, i've also found this one is pretty good....

Podcast2Go | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

I should Add, at Allaboutwindowsphone.com...Steve Litchfield is forever reviewing Podcast Apps and keeping his Roundup of them fairly up to date...

16 Windows Phone 8 podcatchers compared and reviewed (part 1)

MATT_AUSTIN1, how are the podcast apps on Android? Do they actually work? No crashes, missing feeds?

I'm having no luck with Windows 8.1, the podcast apps are buggy and/or poorly designed interface. I actually like the official W8.1 "Podcasts" app... it actually works really good, but it lacks secure feed support (ID/password).

Well, I guess I answered my own question. I switched over to Android (Moto E) and started using Pocket Casts... no more freezes, lacking features, error messages, missing episodes. So far amazing.

Hopefully Windows Phone gets sorted out in the future.

Hi,
I am the developer of gramocast. Search for it in the story, I can't post any links here.

A podcast player with many features, I think this could be interesting for you:

- Groups
- SmartPlaylists
- Chapter Support
- Authentication Support
- Driving Mode (control gramocast with the back/forward buttons)
- OPML-Support is coming this week.

Sorry for the promotion in this forum - but listen to podcasts under Windows Phone is a very frustrating thing - so I have started to develop my own player.
