Podcaster: Listen/Download Podcasts on your iPhone
I’ve seen a lot of very interesting apps come out of the App Store lately. It’s always fun to check the Top 25 and see a new app available. However, some of the best apps to date are available only via the jailbreak (I’m thinking of QIK and PDAnet). Today we’re going to check out a program that will appeal to all you podcast listeners out there.
Podcaster: Download and Listen to Podcasts on your iPhone
In the words of the creator, Podcaster will “allow you to subscribe, manage, stream and download podcasts directly to your iPhone and iPod Touch.” The interface allows you to stream the podcasts over 3G/EDGE/WiFi via the Quicktime player.
You can import your own podcasts plus you can view featured, newest, top rated, and popular podcasts. You can also search for podcasts by title. This app as you can see includes lots of options for you to find your favorite podcasts. In my testing of Podcaster I tested out downloading podcasts from the CBC (being a Canadian blog). I was able to view and download from over 30 CBC Radio podcasts, including their CBC News: Hourly Edition podcast, which is great for news on the go.
Podcaster works exactly as advertised and it pretty cool since you can access the most popular podcasts directly on your iPhone. The program comes with a 14 day trial and afterwards you can purchase an activation code for a reasonable $4.99. Or you could get it for free here…you know what’s coming…

THANKS. This is a great app. Lots of features, and easy to use.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Yahoo. Got my free activation. Thank you so much iPhoneFan!
Glad you got it 🙂
The thing is once I upgrade to iPhone software, which locks the phone and I have to jailbreak again and download PodCaster. What would happen??? Will I lose my registration code?
Unfortunately yes, the activation code will not after a restore. But no worries, I will give out more codes after the 2.2 update at http://www.twitter.com/iphonepodcaster
Thanks for giving away these promo codes! 🙂
This is a really good App. Lots of very useful features. It would be worth paying for, but i got a free one from here. THANKS!!
Got a free activation also! Thanks for the free stuff! 🙂
Great APP
was always wondering why i couldn’t do this on my iPhone
was kind of missing my previous s60 WM and BB devices
anyways now i no longer have to
BTW thanks for the code !
Free stuff rocks, thanks.
Thanks for the activation code. Look forword to listening to the podcasts or should I say podcasters 😉
Thanks for posting my review
I must have just missed it. The code’s not working for me.
Yeah, I tried at 10 am this morning and it wasn’t working. Guess all the night owls got to it first… bastards!
This is a great program though, I’ll likely be paying the $5. 🙂
not night owls but rather early bird as I registered at 6:45am this morning.
Next time I’ll set the code to appear at noon so everybody gets a fair chance. 🙂 Like I said, early bird gets the worm!
this is great, I got it around 5:30 this am,
Sometimes it pays to “not be able to sleep”
Thanks!
By the way, my battery seems to really goes for a dive after the Podcasters install, stanby 11 hours 30 min, and 40 mins of usage. it has only 70% left from full charge. Anyone experiencing this????
