Description

This the UNLOCK KEY (License) for 'BeyondPod Podcast Manager' and 'BeyondPod for Honeycomb' applications.

You must have either the Phone or the Tablet version of BeyondPod installed before purchasing (to get it, search for "BeyondPod" in the Android Market).

IMPORTANT! THE UNLOCK KEY DOES NOT HAVE A HOME SCREEN ICON AND CAN NOT BE "STARTED" - IT ONLY NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED!

The key will be automatically installed by the Android Market application. When the installation completes it should be listed as "BeyondPod Unlock Key" in "Manage Applications" list of the device "Settings".

BeyondPod just checks if BeyondPod Unlock Key is installed and unlocks itself.

My first paid app - well worth it! I never thought I'd pay for an app. After using this for a week, I see it's worth the money. Sure, there are a couple free podcast apps out there but they all require manual work to download and organize episodes in the order I want to play them. I was able to configure BeyondPod to just do that for me. The widget is great and it just fits my life perfectly. Well worth the money.

wish i could get my money back i bought this key a long time ago. i really liked the app i bought before the recent updates and changes. i now use different free podcast apps rather than the one i paid for. i don't get to use the app i purchased the key for, and i am displeased with the new version. so before you pay money for something you like now, know it can change and you now have an entirely different product than what you initially signed up for.

One of Favorite Podcast Apps Keeps Getting Better. Wish UI were modernized I am a big talk radio and tech podcast listener. I've been using BP for a couple of years. Works great! Import feeds from Feedly and configures the way I like it. Highly recommend. Wish UI was more modern with cover tiles to show feeds. Go back and forth between BeyondPod and PocketCasts, which are my two favorite apps in their class.

The best podcast manager I've found, full of useful features and easy to use. Definitely worth buying, once you do you won't use another. I have one minor complaint, the lack of an equaliser means poorly recorded podcasts (with too much treble for example) can't be filtered to make them more listenable. Though this isn't a common feature among podcast clients so I won't deny them the 5th star

Good upgrade from Google Listen Overall I was fairly happy with Google Listen, but it had numerous bugs and was no longer being updated so I was looking for an alternative. I tried a few others and hated them. This app works very differently from Listen but is overall better for achieving what I'm looking for, which is listening to every episode of numerous podcasts. After a bit of setup this whole process is now completely automatic and I no longer need to do any manual queue management. Best podcasting app for sure.

This app was great. Got the key and all. The podcast I most listened to stopped updating the end of June. I contacted customer service and still no reply (July is almost over ). Been using other apps now that do update. Would love to use this again but if I can't get things updated what's the point.

Reliable and gives you full control This app is really never in the way of what you want to do, listen to podcasts. It is easy to use and it just dawned on me that I have used it for over a year and I have never been frustrated or annoyed with this app. I have actually never wished for anything more than this in a podcast listening and downloading app. Easy control of the playlist. Good overview of the episodes that are downloaded. Very nice control and automation for how many episodes of each podcast to keep and when to delete old ones.

Matt K. July 22, 2015

Great If you listen to a lot of podcasts then you won't regret this. Its better than any other for Android that I've used. The price is definitely high, but its worth it. There's so many options that can be backed up and everything that its a must have if you're a developer or switch ROMS a lot.

Good Google listen alternative BeyondPod is a good Google Listen alternative and can import your Google Listen feeds. After using the free version for a while I was prompted to purchase the key which I did and then my podcast would not play over Bluetooth until I rebooted my phone. I was driving at the time and was furious that I couldn't listen to my podcast over bluetooth after paying $6 for an unlock key. As it turns out I just needed to reboot.

Bubens van Lyka November 25, 2014

Death by update Beyondpod was a perfect little app to manage and listen to my podcast subscriptions. The user interface was easy and comprehensible. I was very happy to purchase the premium key, because i liked the app. After the recent update the app I liked and purchased was gone. All that was left was a completely different app with bad UI design that is too much centered around the features probably no one ever uses. Too bad!

Rob Bettla December 31, 2013

Works as advertised. Missing a few pluses I almost never buy apps but yours was good enough to buy the unlocked key. Congrats. Request: Bookmarking feature. Sometimes when learning languages or listening to podcasts we hear an important soundbite. It would be great to just use a button to bookmark it. Either through the headset ( currently using klipsch control) or just the interfase. Currently using Ginko player but it would be better to have a 1 stop solution. I'd give you 5 stars.

Russell Kelly March 10, 2017

Like I said it"s pretty good is it not? ( innit). Probably best app of it"s kind, trouble free so far. Five stars if it had a more intuitive interface, one click to set up "auto- delete episode after listening" as I often find unwanted episodes still on the memory months after use. This is possibly due me overlooking some existing features , if so , apologies all around. Update Feb 2017; it's still relevant, hasn't been stealthily updated to death and is sill my first choice

Back in 2011 when I first bought this app I listened to a lot of music podcasts. Online streaming happened a music podcasts went away or became less (p)relevant and I forgot about the app. Skip ahead quite a few years and a number of topics I'm interested in are having a surge in podcasts (and some admittedly never went away). BeyondPod is still here and working great (from Donut to Nougat). My favourite feature has to be that it skips back a couple seconds automatically after pausing. That's such a simple thing but a great feature to ease you back into the conversation. And that's just one of the features. Worth the price, great dev.

John Alexander July 8, 2014

Possibly My Most-Used App I love this app. I shopped around for podcatchers, and tried a handful, but this was the one I settled on, and have been using it happily now for the last couple of years. I won't claim to be a power user, I don't use a whole lot of features, but it does what I want it to, and it does it well. My only complaint (and this may be more with Android) is that, after the latest KitKat update, I can't store old podcasts on my SD card, they can only be played on my (much smaller) internal storage. But I've never had any trouble finding new podcasts, building playlists, finding or deleting episodes; I love this podcast player and use it throughout the day.

Alex Gallacher November 30, 2012

I paid because my conscience got the better of me. Been using the free version for a year or so now. Well worth the money. I like the way it integrates RSS feeds. I like the downloading rather than pure streaming aspect makes it good for the tube. One point, when listening to a downloaded cast it can stop as I go underground if the wireless data is not turned off. Hardly earth shattering but that's why it got 4 rather than 5. The most used app on the phone. Thanks.

A Google User April 22, 2012

Over priced vs better Pocket Casts I assumed that the variable speed control present in the free version as one of the paid features that times out of you don't unlock it would be present after paying but NO such luck. You still have to also buy Presto for variable speed. Another disappointment is how slow this app is to download the podcast feeds. Pocket Casts is much faster in syncing the feeds. Overall this app is pretty good but Pocket Casts is just much better in ever way (and also needs Presto for variable speed.)

Dane Ketner April 17, 2015

Suddenly Slow? I've really enjoyed this app and have used it daily. In the past week or so, all downloads have slowed to a crawl, while other data (over ATT LTE) continues to download at rates that match my speed test results. Half an hour is too long for an 18mb dl. Any ideas what's going on here and why only this app seems affected?

Francine Johnson McGee July 4, 2015

Love This Podcatcher!! As other people have noted, Beyondpod's pro version is a bit more expensive than other programs. IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY MANY TIMES OVER!☆☆☆☆☆☆☆Love it even more because of back up and restore! I just changed phones, so I backed BeyondPod up, and uploaded it to Google Drive. Opened up Drive, searched for the file, clicked on it, and BeyondPod Restore was one of the options to open the file. One click, and BeyondPod was just the way I left it on my own phone. THANKS! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Long time user here to uninstall What a way to ruin a good app with an update attempting a modern look. Plenty of apps have modern look & feel but none of the navigation and search issues of this app. I wouldn't download it now even for free. There should be a rule against failing to deliver even a basic usable app following an update. The only silver lining is that thankfully, I will never again have to see your icon in my apps folder.

Ron Gorsuch January 4, 2014

Awesome! I use this app daily and I love it! The interface is clean, there are a plethora of options, it does what it's supposed to do intuitively and smoothly. Highly recommended! The only reason I am rating it 4 stars instead of 5 is that infrequently my playlist will be emptied inexplicably. It's a small inconvenience outweighed by all of the other pros.

A Google User July 12, 2012

Test it before you pay It seemed to fit the bill when I first installed the free version. But there was no real chance to test it properly (automatic weekly update for one). So I bought the paid version and since nothing much works. Now I understand why the few version only works 3 days our so. The good thing is that I only lose a few dollars. Still ...

A Google User November 10, 2012

Best audio and video podcast app No need to sync or hook up to PC. App runs completley independent and downloads on your schedule. Video plays inside app or can launch your external player. Can get feeds directly from URL link. Saves your listen or watch positions. Way better than Google Listen.

Ryan Amirault January 19, 2014

Pricy But Still Great I love BeyondPod and purchased the Pro version to support the development. I do say that the price is a bit high and off putting to many. I'd think more would support the devs if the price was lower. Even still I am happy to have helped and thank you for the great work on this podcast app.

March 1, 2013

Pricey -- But it looks pretty and works great. My only complaint is the search feature doesn't pull up the latest & greatest podcast feeds. This is definitely not for the novice user because you'll have to look up the most current feed URL's online to add manually.

Philip Caudill November 6, 2014

Hate update to "modern" design I've used this app for about 3 years now. Had no problems with it at all. Loved it. Then, I wake up this morning to a bright, orange app that I no longer know how to use. I don't usually write reviews, but this I just can't let go. As long as I've used android, I've had a dark theme for everything. If there is not an option for a dark theme in an app, I don't use that app. I can relearn the app, but if there is no way to switch to a dark color theme, then I will be searching for a replacement.

Justin Ewing May 7, 2014

One problem Great app. Only problem I have is player won't pause when I get a text. Notification plays over audio and is way too quiet and usually miss them even when my notifications volume is maximum. And yes, i have the setting set to pause on notification. Using HTC one m8. Oh and because of this app I use over 20 gigs a month :)

Gergo Viczian May 11, 2013

Add EQUALIZER please External playback speed control was the Achilles heel of this app, but it's been added now, and so far found it to be flawless. Beyond pod gained two stars on my scoreboard. Now my next gripe: could you integrate an equalizer too? Also smart play sometimes doesn't keep track of which episodes i have listened to. Especially twit productions. But this is the podcast player i recommend everybody. I used a pirated version of dogg, but since I could buy Beyondpod in 2 dollar sale, i completely switched.

A Google User November 20, 2014

Dropped stars because annoying. Great app but since the latest update I can't get it to open in the 'episodes list'. The main reason to open the app is to change playlists or episodes, but this can't be set to default. It's very annoying havering to swipe away the player every time.

A Google User December 25, 2013

Best I've found Downloads on schedule (without corrupting files like some others I've bought), ready to categorize podcasts. Best podcast app, and I've tried most of them. Cons: high price & the need to purchase presto for high speed playback; effectively increasing the already high price. Still, I bought it, so that says something.

Cyd Lapour April 30, 2013

Buggy after the last few updates I've been using this app for a LONG time, and have been very happy with it overall. After the last few updates, however, the audio does not resume after phone calls, and the app often crashes while running navigation apps with audio cues. Great features, but pretty buggy for me.

Obinna Onyeije February 18, 2013

Bang for your buck This app is the BEST APP for managing your feeds. Period. The ability to sync with Google Reader was the clincher. It's really managed to save me a whole lot of hassle, since my school computer blocked most of my websites. It's maybe the cleanest interface out of all the RSS apps, has its own internal browser, and supports video. No questions asked, you can't get much better than this.

Cameron Will June 6, 2013

The best podcast manager I usually don't pay a pro price for anything. But this app is fantastic. I use it every day to sync everything up before I get up, and have great content all the way to work. I don't have much service on the way, so downloading episodes is great!

A Google User April 11, 2012

Good podcast software Of all of them I tried this is one of the better ones. If you are an easy learner, the free version may be enough but I enjoy listening to quite a few podcasts and like to keep the best ones to listen to. The unlock key opens it up to allow for more podcasts to be saved.

Seth McKee February 3, 2014

Chromecast link keeps failing... Help! Loved the app. Worked great at first but not when I cast it disconnects after 6 minutes or so on video. I've had the same issue on multiple devices using the same Chromecast. This is the only app that does this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Brandon Zerante September 2, 2015

I just upgraded to this from the "Lite" version. Now I cannot stay connected to my Chromecast for more than 20 seconds. The podcast is saved to the phone, so it's not a streaming issue. I have rebooted both my device and the chromecast several times. Please contact me or I will be requesting a refund.

Adrienne Williams December 15, 2013

New podcasts downloaded every morning Easy to find and organize podcasts. They download on their own every morning. The triggering of each episode in the playlist is a little twitchy -- I sometimes accidentally close one while trying to find the info on it. Works well with my LG bluetooth headphones. This is my first "real" podcast, and I'm happy with it.

Jesse Shea December 31, 2015

Latest update broken The episodes now all stop about 2 minutes before they end, and I've just had it freeze up on me and won't play anything. Please address, this is a fantastic app otherwise!

Tim Fry January 27, 2013

Better than DoubleTwist Switching to this from the paid version of DoubleTwist. This is far, far better, I've used the entire trial period, I'm a podcast maniac (I listen about six to eight hours a day), and I've had ZERO problems. Now I'm happy to pay the developer for his hard work. On a side note, I think it's ingenious to allow customers to use and abuse the full version for a limited time. I can honestly say this product is worth every penny.

Jason Barker March 29, 2017

I used to use this daily for a few years, but the interface changes make it a swipey mess. Otherwise it has some of the most robust features of any podcast app. Specifying download order, number of episodes to keep, highly customizable playlists. But the UI caused me to stop using it.

Rob Alvarez January 20, 2015

Please fix the problems I used to absolutely love this app and now it is virtually useless to me because as other users have stated the podcasts randomly reset to the beginning of the episode or goes on to the next podcast when you are not even half way through the one that your listening to. It's incredibly frustrating me to the point of not using the app anymore and what bothers me most is that I paid for this. Please, please fix this so I can give 5 stars.

What's New

A small change to make the key visible to more devices (including Google TV boxes) on Android Market. If you already have the key the upgrade is optional.
