Best 5 Podcast Listening Apps For Your Smartphones

Whether you’re doing laundry, driving home from work, or breaking a sweat at the gym, podcasts are great for filling up your time with the latest news, comedy shows, in-depth storytelling, and so much more. So here today I am bringing you the Best 5 Podcast Apps that you can use on your device.

1. Google Podcasts

Description:

Google Podcasts provides a very nice, simple design, but the real star of the show is its integration with other Google services. Google Podcasts is a fairly standard podcast app with playback speed controls and the ability to skip silence segments. With this app, you can play the latest episodes from your favorite shows, explore podcast recommendations just for you, and manage your listening activity. It is the simplest option and it’s free so it’s the one I recommend you the first. It had a rough start, but it works much better now.

2. Castbox

Description:

It is one of a few free podcast apps available in the Play store. It boasts a collection of over one million podcasts scrubbed from places like iTunes and others. It also includes support for 70 languages, language learning podcasts, Chrome cast support, Amazon Echo support, and more. Plus it also includes cloud syncing for multiple device support. The free version comes with everything and has no ads. So you can opt for this option too.

3. Radio Public

Description:

It is a beautiful podcast app that is free and doesn’t require an account or login – you can just start listening after installing it. Here in this app you can stream or download episodes for listening offline, add private RSS feeds (not all apps allow this), import & export using OPML(a file that allows you to transfer your podcasts subscriptions between podcast apps without having to manually subscribe to each podcast one by one.), and a ton more.

4. Pocket Casts

Description:

This also comes in the list of best podcast apps. It has an excellent UI, well discoverability features, some power-user features, and even some customization features like themes are available in it. Paying for apps is something a lot of people just won’t do, but if you want the best podcast experience possible, it’s worth shelling out a few bucks for Pocket Casts. The app has playback control, easy content discovery, and can be used on just about anything.

5. Anchor – Make your own podcast

Description:

All of the apps in this list are podcast apps that let you download or stream your favorite podcasts. So here I included one app for you that helps you make them yourself. Anchor is a podcast platform that offers unlimited hosting. This app lets you record audio, publish it to various places like iTunes and Google Podcasts, and import audio from other devices to upload. The app and the hosting are free, though, and this isn’t an ad or anything, so give it a try yourself if you want to make your own podcast.
