While Google Podcasts is the go-to app for so many Android users who want to listen to their favorite podcasts, there are so many worthy alternatives out there, including some coming with support for Android Auto too.
And Podcast Addict is certainly one of them, with many claiming this is actually the number one podcast app for both Android and Android Auto.

Truth be told, the feature lineup of this app is absolutely impressive, and what’s more, the developing team keeps rolling out further improvements every now and then.

The most recent version, for example, landed in the Google Play Store this week, bringing the app to version 2020.8.2. By the looks of things, this is just a small update for the previous build and the second minor revision to version 2020.8.

And needless to say, there are no new features in the update, as the dev team focused on polishing things even further for the main release.

Podcast Addict 2020.8 brought bug fixes, as well as improved browsing by category and subcategory to find new content. So I’m guessing today’s update add extra polishing to this new feature on Android devices.

Needless to say, everyone is recommended to get the latest version anyway, even if it doesn’t bring any new features, as these minor revisions refine the overall experience and potentially resolves some bugs discovered in the previous versions.

As far as Android Auto users are concerned, everybody knows that things haven’t been quite smooth lately, so updates for the apps that they run while driving are without a doubt welcome. For the time being, Podcast Addict remains one of the best choices when it comes to listening to podcasts powered by an Android Auto head unit, so head over to this page to download the stand-alone APK installer for the app.

If you’re already running the app with auto-updating enabled, the new version should already be there.
