Like Pocket Casts, BeyondPod comes with a clean and enticing interface and syncs your content to the cloud so you can carry on listening from different devices as you go. It supports Android Wear and has been updated to Google's Material Design standards, so it's well worth a look.

The app includes a few clever tricks for speeding through podcasts (like speed adjustment and the ability to cut out silences) and the discovery tools are well put together too. Pocket Casts is available on Android, iOS, and the web.

One of the advantages of Pocket Casts is the way it syncs your listening over multiple devices and platforms. Pocket Casts has been in the podcasting game for quite a while now and is widely regarded to be one of the best apps of its type on iOS and Android (it also recently launched a web portal too). You can be listening to a podcast on the subway home and as soon as you walk through your front door, tell your Google Home device to pick up exactly where you left off. One of the biggest bonuses of Google Podcast app, however, is the ability to listen across all of your devices thanks to Google Assistant. Google is a bit late to the party, but its podcast app delivers the goods. It is super easy to subscribe and download your favorite podcasts and its discover features work well after you have spent a bit of time building up your library. The app has had time to study its competition, and has taken bits and bobs from successful third-party apps to pull this off. It has taken Google a long time to get into the podcast game but it has finally released its own dedicated Android podcast app. They all offer a similar set of features but you will find some differences, so it's worth doing your research before you stick with one - and this list of the best options will provide some pointers. On Android, there's an impressive selection to work your way through as far as podcasting apps are concerned.
