Apps for listen to a podcast

4 apps

Intent

A spoken series waits in a queue you subscribe to, not a playlist of songs. Listening to a podcast is follow, episode order, and a player that survives a lock screen. It is not an on-demand music catalogue, not a live radio booth, and not an audiobook sold as one ISBN. Speed control and a sleep timer are comfort; a download for a flight is the usual extra that matters. Chapters help a long interview. If the app cannot show which episode is next, it is a file picker. Cross-device progress matters when you start on a speaker and finish on a train. Video extras do not make it a live stream.

What matters for this task

Can you subscribe and see the next unplayed episode?
Does playback continue when the phone is locked?
Can an episode download and play offline?
Does progress sync if you switch devices?
