BringCast on Windows Phone

When it comes to listening to podcasts on Windows Phone Microsoft made it difficult by removing the podcast store from non US Windows Phones. Even if you could get the store the podcast receiver features are pretty basic and this is where BringCast comes in. BringCast has just been updated to version 3 and is a big improvement over the previous releases. There is a new UI that is focused on media playback, streaming options, better feed parser and more download options.

The app will download podcasts in the background over wifi automatically and there is a database of popular podcasts. If you looking for a podcast app for Windows Phone this a great option, the app costs £2.29 from the Windows Phone Store.

 

The first Windows Phone app that brought you over-the-air downloading of Podcasts on Windows Phone 7 just got even better! BringCast is a Windows Phone podcatcher that allows users to subscribe to podcast feeds, download and stream episodes to their phone over WiFi or cellular data connection and build playlists to listen to or watch.

Version 3.0 brings with it a completely new UI and new codebase.. we spent the last 18 months doing a ground-up rewrite to bring a wealth of new functionality to the app as well as future growth potential.

BringCast supports audio and video podcasts and comes with a database of popular shows.
