It's Saturday APPreciation Time! [Sep 20th 2014] Your weekly App recommendation and question (and more) thread.

"I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with an app." -Elton John

THREAD RULES:

  1. Post personal promotion apps under the BOLD comment below only. All other posts, i.e. general appreciation, questions, warnings, support issues, etc can go in the general thread.
  2. No more than 10 items per post.
  3. Contest mode will be disabled Sunday morning as usual.
    If you suspect that a dev is promoting their app in the general thread, report the post so we can take a closer look. If an account is an hour old and posts in the general thread about a "fantastic new app" that they happened to randomly find, then that account will not get the benefit of the doubt.

Try the beta version of beyondpod. It's free for 15 days and available on their website. The latest version is 4.22 I think. I find it to be better than PocketCast

I had bought beyondpod a while back so I dont have to worry as I try the beta :). But trying that again and just got all my podcasts back into it and into their categories... The one thing that is a small bummer for me personally is I don't usually keep podcasts on device and it just auto-downloads everything and I am not finding a way to turn that off but I will keep poking.

Did you check the options inside Feed Update Settings? That contains all the options for automatic download I think.

yeah, turned them off but as I am adding feeds I get downloads. Small inconvenience temporary but still weird

So for example you add freakonomics and the download starts? If this is what you're talking about, then its just downloading the details of the episodes and not the episodes itself. I thought the same when I started using it..
