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.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 7:23 AM To: [email protected]; The Accessible Phones Discussion List 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
