Downloaded video is not visable. If it can't display video what's the point. Please fix.

Finally! After years of iPhone use, I have the exact functionality I've wanted. It lets me subscribe to AND download podcasts directly on the phone.

Best hands down. Just update for better landscape navigation for in car. Then I'll give 5 stars.

Expensive for what you get, and BeyondPod has way better Google Reader integration.

Does what it's supposed to do. Clean interface & works with podcast subscriptions that require username & password.

Great app. A bit on the expensive side theres probly cheaper or free alternatives but this works
Joel (****)
Works great. Only complaint is the volume, is extremely low and is hard to hear at your podcast at a noisy place.
