APPS015 Pocket Casts

Vergangene Woche sprach ich über Castro, und versprach euch diese
Woche euch von dem Podcatcher meiner Wahl zu sprechen. Diesem
Versprechen komme ich nach - es handelt sich um Pocket Casts, ein
Podcatcher der meiner Meinung mit einigen Funktionen punkten
kann.
So ist Pocket Casts wirklich auf fast jeder Plattform
verfügbar. iOS, Android, macOS und sogar einen Webplayer gibt es.
Dazu kommen Umsetzungen für Alexa und Sonos. Seit kurzem wird der
Podcatcher in einer Abovariante angeboten - seit dem können auch
lokale Files in die Cloud des Anbieters geladen werden. So sind sie
ebenfalls auf jedem Endgerät verfügbar. Leider fehlt nach wie vor
eine Umsetzung für die Apple Watch.
