Podcast app recommendations please

[A900ss]

Hi, there are plenty of good podcasts apps out there but I’m looking for one that is truely cross platform.

I’m looking for an app that is not just iOS and Android, I want it to be CarPlay and Android Auto compatible as well as I have an Android phone and an iPhone that I use in my car.

I’d also like it to sync across all devices/platforms so that I know what I’ve listened to regardless of which device I listened to it on.

Many thanks.

I've ditched a number of podcast apps down through the years, and now use Google Podcasts just for simplicity and the instant sync across devices which you've mentioned.

I've only used the Android version (which is great and works really well with android auto) but I think Pocket Casts should do everything you're asking for.

No idea is cross compatible as you need, i'm not that modern, my car doesn't even have bluetooth!

but I use podbean, just see if it does what you need.

Pocket casts syncs across all devices and all platforms and is very happy on Android Auto. I can't speak for the apple auto thingy but expect it does.

Thanks all. I’ll give it a go.

I'd be interested in anything that worked on an iPhone as Apple's dedicated Podcast App is atrocious. Presumably there's no/very little money in podcasts for apple?

Try Overcast. I’ve used it for a few years and it’s much better than the Apple app.

Another vote for Overcast.
