Downcast - iPad podcast downloader App Review

DowncastI have been hooked on podcasts since the first time I listened to them.  I got to say my 2 hour commute home to work and back would be even worse with out them.  But I hate connecting my iOS device just to sync up the new podcast episodes.  This is where Downcast comes in.



Downcast is a full featured podcast catcher and player.  You can sync, download, and stream right from this one application.  Now that would be good on its own but you can customize Downcast till you get this thing humming exactly like you want.  You can set when to sync, how often, and to download or stream.  When you are ready to play the video or audio podcast you have options to play at different speeds, skip forward and backwards.  This app does everything and more you want out of a pod catcher.  To add feeds you can do a search or look through the extensive catalog.  You can also import or just add the feeds manually.

I have Downcast set up mostly for video on my iPad.  But I have a problem with space on my iPad; this is not a problem because you can stream over wifi or 3g.  Also if you know you're going to be somewhere without a connection you can download the episode you want.




If you cant tell I love this app.  It is one of the few apps I use every day on my iPad.  I had tired other apps but none came close to the options you have in Downcast in my opinion.  I would highly recommend this application.  At $1.99 you will be streaming all the video and audio you can imagine.

iTunes $1.99
