BeyondPod

BeyondPod is a podcast application for Android devices that lets users subscribe to RSS, Atom, RDF, and OPML feeds, and download and play both audio and video podcasts within a single interface. It provides access to a large directory of podcasts alongside the ability to add custom feeds, import local audio files, and subscribe to text-based news feeds. The app has surpassed 2.5 million downloads and serves listeners seeking a customizable podcast management tool on Android.

The application includes a configurable download engine that lets users control which feeds update, when downloads occur, and over which network connections, along with rules for retaining or deleting old episodes. Its Smart Playlist technology automatically builds playlists based on listening habits, and the integrated player tracks listening history, supports adjustable playback speed, volume boost, and sleep timers. Additional features include Feedly integration for subscription syncing, OPML import/export, and a home screen widget for quick playback control.

BeyondPod is designed for use across phones, tablets, and wearables, including a dedicated Android Wear app and Chromecast casting support. It offers a car-friendly mode with large buttons for safer in-vehicle operation, along with cross-device synchronization of playback position and backup/restore functionality. The application is community supported, with earlier versions also historically available for Windows Mobile devices.
