And so interesting to see how views on price have changed in just a few years. A few dollars wouldn't be relevant for anything else we'd use as often. And yet here we are (me too) considering two dollars "cheap" and five dollars a "premium".

(I use Downcast for the record, as I like the extra features. Been considering trying Instacast for the hopefully better interface and push but the 'expense' stops me!)]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17207 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:28:47 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17207 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17205 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:25:21 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17205
How sure are you about this? I ask because this is a nice app.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17196 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 21:23:15 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17196
I've tried Apple's, Insta, Downcast and Stitcher. It's being updated shortly for full sync and will become a full iOS Universal app at no addl cost in the near future.

The developer is friendly and fast to correspond - certainly an excellent app!]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17189 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 15:38:47 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17189
It was the first Universal app and offers a lot of features, certainly more than Instacast, which I purchased but didn't use, and won't upgrade.

iCatcher has worked flawlessly on both my iPhone where I listen primarily to audio podcasts and my iPad where I have video podcasts.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17178 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:00:13 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17178 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17177 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:52:24 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17177 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17163 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 06:18:52 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17163 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17162 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 01:00:00 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17162 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17158 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 16:34:33 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17158 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17156 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 15:05:12 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17156 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13475?rss#comments_17154 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 11:44:20 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13475#comments_17154
If it doesn't allow me to manage subscriptions and episodes from my computer, it doesn't work for me.
