PodcastOne
bit.ly/podcastone479While there are lots of great podcast apps
to choose from, there are plenty that are
not so great, too.
PodcastOne falls firmly
into the latter category,
with many users
complaining that the
app crashes constantly,
won’t load podcasts and
has an interface that’s
verging on unusable. The
developers claim this is a
temporary situation and
that a new version is on
its way, but for the time
being, it’s one to avoid.GooglePodcasts

4.1Choosing a podcast provider is a
surprisingly tricky task these days,
and the situation is only made worse
by the fact that there are so many podcast-
related apps available. To help you out,
we’re going to recommend our current
favourite. Originally, we were going to
point you in the direction of our long-term
podcast app of choice, Castbox’s Podcast
Player, but recent updates seem to have
broken the app, with many users reporting
strange playback issues. So instead we’re going
to recommend Google Podcasts. It’s free, easy to
use, works well and syncs your listening across all
your devices.Best Free Apps
