You can't subscribe to podcasts with just the URL with the Podcasts app from
apple, which is a huge deal breaker for me, at least I don't think you can.
If you can, I'll gladly give it another shot, but for now, I'll stick with
the superior downcast.

Subject: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client

All,

There has been some discussion of late as to which is better, Downcast or
the default iOS Podcast client from Apple.

This is preloaded by way of comment with the fact that I've not used
Downcast myself, but, those I trust to offer opinion have not yet offered me
something, other than UI comment, that makes me think one is better than the
other. So, this message serves to inform those who on the other side of the
fence, may not yet have used Podcast from Apple.

Features:

Fully automate and configure download parameters for individual podcasts,

choose what is downloaded,

choose what is kept, e.g. all, unplayed, last x etc.

playback speed, half, normal, 1.5x, 2x and 3x

adjust display mode, newest at top or oldest at top

choose playback order, newest first or oldest first, separate command from
above

full Apple iTunes selection of podcasts an information.

download over 3G or WiFi only.

Oh, fully Voice Over usable and by the way, podcasts can be played /
controlled with Siri, which is not a feature of Downcast.

I think that covers it all, I'm still awaiting something that Downcast can
do over this feature set, please do not mention the 5x speed option, surely
no-one listens at that speed?

Am I seriously missing something, or not?

Many thanks.
