Yes, I do realize there are posts on this previous, but none of them had the info that I'm really after here .. and i don't want to resurrect an old post.
I've been using Google Listen since october (started on htc hero, now on moto droid), what it lacked in features I figured updates would soon bring.. but what I've received is frustration after frustration.
*I need a podcasting app that will be able to automatically download new episodes (when plugged in and/or only on wifi)
*Automatically add the latest download episodes and add to some sort of a queue/playlist .... and automatically remove them once listened in full.
*Have a UI that works well from a couple feet away, I dock my phone in the car and use daily on my commute, so I need to be able to reach over and tap pause/play/next/ffw/etc
*AND THE BIG ONE - When updating podcasts, actually pings the RSS feed direct (unlike Google Listen) instead of a single server. I can't stand being 12-24 hours behind on most of my podcast feeds, especially when I want to listen to a daily podcast that comes out in the morning at 4:30pm on my way home from work and can't without browsing to their website ...
I'm willing to pay, realllly don't want to pay the $7 I see some clients go for.. but will pay up to $7 if it works well enough.. I do not need a full on RSS news reader, i'd prefer a dedicated podcatching client.
I know I'm not the only one looking, I look forward to your replies. Thanks guys!
