    I use podkicker for all my free podcasts and beyond pod for one I pay for. Podkicker is great. Beyond pod I could take it or leave it.

    Tried podcast addict but switched recently to podcast republic and find it much more user friendly.

    Any android podcast app out there that shows controls (pause/play/skip) on the lockscreen? I'm running beyondpod on lollipop(6.x) and it's not supported. I find this feature very useful.

    Player FM has that. Find it a great podcast app, free and no adds either.

    I think it might be the loader my Honor 5X uses by default.

    New to Android and looking for the best Podcast app to replace the IOS app. I downloaded Stitcher but there is very little Irish content on it. I typed in Newstalk and the only show that comes up is Newstalk Breakfast. Loads of Irish shows on RTE, TodayFM and Newstalk that I listen to are not on it? Are there apps that have the same content as the Itunes feed? Cheers.

    I purchased and swear by pocket casts (link).

    Also bought the browser access (means I can log in through play.pocketcasts.com and resume listening to podcasts there). Here's what appears when I search Newstalk.

    Podcast Addict would be the next best (free) equivalent.

    Just moved to Pocketcasts. So far, so good. I like the design, features and how much control it gives you on each subscription. Only slight issue in the car this morning was that it rolled from one episode into another without changing the info on my car's screen i.e. from Planet Money to a BBC episode - screen thought it was still PM and the time wasn't accurate either. Wasn't an issue this evening, so might have just been a glitch. Will see how things go for the rest of the week.

    I wish Pocket would do a search feature, for searching episodes.

    Artwork doesn't always display on Pocketcasts, but that could be an iOS issue.

    Other thing I'm wondering about is, if I move my Pocketcasts account to another device will the subscriptions/preferences be carried over, or would I have to set them all up again?

    I have Pocketcasts on multiple devices (including the web), and my subscriptions/preferences sync. Only thing that doesn't is the Now Playing list.

    Ive been using podbean the last few months. Only downloaded it coz a regular itunes podcast I listen to is on it aswell. Shows & selections seem very hit and miss and limited in choice if your looking for extra listening. Another issue I have is that the app just randomly starts playing a show I might have paused earlier in the day when phones not being used

    Pocketcasts has been completely revamped. Hmm, not sure about the changes.

    Podcast addict is a pretty good option for a free app imo

    I currently use Stitcher. It has a great selection of apps and is quite easy to use. However I will be trying some of the other ones suggested above as Stitcher has a lot of areas that need improving.

    I use Podcast Republic. It seems OK and has plenty of Irish Content. I haven't used any of the others mentioned above so nothing to compare to.

    It was the first one I tried a couple of years ago and I absolutely love it so I have never had a reason to try others out. I have never found myself saying to myself 'i wish I could do this'

    But now i stumbled up on this thread and hear all this pocketcasts talk my head has been turned slightly...

    I use podcast republic too. TBH, it does everything I want perfectly, so no reason to change.

    I use Podcast Addict - I've never had any trouble finding any podcasts on that.
