All of them. And most of them are glorified radios. The few that do expose functionality for navigation and bookmarking within a podcast episode (beyond rewinding or FF by x seconds), they make it way too unintuitive to use and make you use too many clicks to use it. And there's almost no functionality around saving and organizing the episodes you've listened to. Hell, most podcast apps don't even provide a way to check your played history in a sane way (if at all). Where in the fuck is the Evernote of podcast apps? I want to tag episodes, organize them into folders, link different episodes, bookmark certain spots of an episode, tag the bookmarks, add comments/notes at certain times AND TAG THESE AND ORGANIZE THESE, etc.
- SyneRyder 7y agoOkay, I admit - that is an absolutely brilliant idea. What you've described is exactly how I use Pocket with blog posts (highlighting, searchable note taking, tagging) but for podcasts. Count me in. I know Overcast made some attempts at timecode bookmarking & sharing snippets, but I don't think their approach is the solution. (I'm on Android so I've never got to try it.) https://www.cultofmac.com/622288/how-to-share-podcast-clips-with-overcast/ https://www.cultofmac.com/622288/how-to-share-podcast-clips-...
- jplayer01 7y agoYeah. That interactive, metatextual layer is missing for me for podcasts. I have a decent process (that I'm still refining) for saving and organizing websites/articles/books/pdfs/notes, and if I'm looking for something, I can find it reasonably quickly, but podcasts are this blackhole where information and context go to get lost. > https://www.cultofmac.com/622288/how-to-share-podcast-clips-.. https://www.cultofmac.com/622288/how-to-share-podcast-clips-.... Okay, that feature is pretty damn cool. Add that to my must-haves in my dream podcast app.
