ANDROID SHOW DOWNLOADED PODCASTS

Sometimes they never show up at all. I tried disabling battery optimization, set Spotify to offline mode and clearing cache. Nothing of that worked. Note that we recommend to always manually set the app itself to offline mode when loosing internet connection. That way it's best optimized for the situation. You can use the steps here. If the issue persist, could you share the approximate size of your downloads and the free storage remaining on your device?

This info is available in the settings menu of the app. In any case, we'd also recommend that you run a clean reinstall. This step lets you start afresh with the latest app version by removing any corrupted files from previous installations. The reinstall doesn't fix anything. I still cannot access downloaded podcast offline. The podcast page never loads and just spins. On another note, are you able to redownload the episodes to see if the issue persist?

It would also be great if you can provide us a screenshot or a screen recording to see if the issue persist.

Committed iOS users may find Overcast to be their best option for podcast listening. Like Pocket Casts, this app has features such as customizable playlists, voice normalizing, and variable playback speeds, so users can listen to podcasts the way they want. There is also a sleep timer, so users can listen to a podcast as they fall asleep. The app is also designed to work on Apple Watch, making it one of the most versatile podcatchers for Apple fans.

Though likely the biggest name in podcast apps, Stitcher is not quite as robust as apps like Overcast. The app provides the basic features users need in a podcatcher, such as subscribe, make playlists, and change playing speed, but lacks quality-of-life features like sleep timers. It features a free version, though the app has ads as a result.

Unfortunately, the app can be annoying to navigate, creating playlists and deleting episodes a hassle. The most direct way to download an episode of a podcast is simply downloading it from the source. Most podcasts allow users to download or stream episodes directly from a site, so if you want to listen to podcasts on a computer, this is one way to go about it. If you have an Android phone, this is a quick and easy way to get a specific episode on your device.

At this point, a box will open, prompting you to choose an appropriate save location on your computers, such as your desktop or Downloads folder. The episode is saved on your computer, and you can open it with any media player that can handle the file type.

To upload an episode to an Android device, connect it to the computer, which will allow you to browse the various files and folders on your phone. Android devices will usually have a folder marked Podcasts, and, naturally, this is a good place to save episodes. Copy or cut the file from your computer, and paste it to the Podcasts folder.

It features the basic stuff like downloading podcast episodes, variable speed playback, sleep timers, and more. It also has a delightful design with Material Design. The app boasts over , available podcasts. You can search or browse at your leisure and subscribe. The app is free with advertising. You can use this one free as part of a Google Play Pass subscription if you use it.

It also started doing podcasts in early If you already use Spotify, there will likely come a point where a second podcast app will be redundant. TuneIn Radio is among the best radio apps out there. Its focus is mostly live talk radio. However, the app also includes podcasts, audio books, radio stations both AM and FM , and even live sporting events.

The podcast owners have to make their podcasts available for this one. We might not recommend this as a standalone podcast app. However, those who also like listening to radio shows from other platforms may find this one to be better than just a regular podcast app. In this case we suggest that you contact out customer support and tell them that you need help removing any corrupt offline device you might have. We're not able to remove any devices directly from our end since we don't work directly with user accounts.

When you contact the customer support team you should tell them that. Downloaded podcasts will not load at all when set to offline mode. After tapping on a podcast the loading wheel shows forever. Music works fine. I tried a clean install, no change. Data is stored on device, no SD card.

There's a newer version of the app - make sure to update it and then log out, restart your device, and log back in. If the issue persists, could you let us know if the same happens in any other device where you use the app?

Now running 8. Downloaded some new podcasts. Still does not load while offline. We'll be passing on your info to our developers, so they can investigate this further.
