Comments on Procast - The Podcast App for Android

★★★★★ Pete Quigley · Oct 5, 2023

Heard that Google Podcasts is going away, so I'm trying to find a replacement that doesn't require me to be a tech guru to make it work. This is the best I have found. Intuitive interface with the controls I need. I tried some of the other podcast apps, and they had me wanting to pitch my phone at a wall. Not Precast. I like it. It does what I need, and it does it well. Long may it continue.

★★★★★ mike trunnell · Apr 29, 2021

This is a good place to get all the podcasts that you listen to in one app. I use it every day to listen to about 5 to 6 Podcasts a day.

★★★★☆ Adam Mangan · Apr 24, 2024

It's the closest to a Google podcast replacement I can find, but some issues: 1) major: the inbox is only scanning a subset of my podcast subscriptions for new content. I have to manually go into each one to help it remember. Then it suddenly shows the new episodes in my inbox. 2) minor: no way to skip to the next podcast from the player. Lot of stuffing around in the interface. 3) minor: just in general there are too many times I need 2or3 clicks to do something that should be doable in 1

★★★★★ Joe Lonsdale · May 29, 2024

As Google Podcasts is being subsumed into the increasingly chaotic YouTube Music app (which currently has limited podcast functionality) I have been looking for a new podcast app and this one is clean and streamlined and really an equal to Google Podcasts. Streamline and week thought out and with a developer who responds to queries. Great work dev ;)

No option to export opml ?? Cannot display episodes per sub ??

★☆☆☆☆ Nicholas Poonamallee · Jun 22, 2019

Cannot play any podcast saved to my playlist. When I click play, nothing plays and the episode is removed from the playlist. Reported the issue and received no response. Look for a better app, or at the very least a functioning app.

★☆☆☆☆ Jos v I · Oct 26, 2022

I got this to download podcasts on Wi-Fi, so it would not use mobile data at work. I turned on the option to only download via Wi-Fi, and turned off background data. Despite this, to my great shock, when playing downloaded podcasts, not only did Precast use some foreground data, it used a lot, in two days 113Mb, several times more than even the Wi-Fi data for downloading the podcast. I stopped using Pod bean because it had used 20Mb in a week. I can assure you I will be deleting Precast.
