Once again, Android’s fragmentation rears it’s ugly head.
Stuff like this is what makes just about every “feature and spec” comparison between iOS and Android useless.
Apple is building software that makes their hardware better, more useful, and more loved.
Android builds software that makes data collection and web monetization easier.
It’s about priorities. And building a great podcast client will probably never be in Google’s interests. Heck, they didn’t even bother with RSS when they realized it couldn’t monetize like they wanted.
One other thought - clearly, there is a LOT of room for developers in the podcasts app market; with 78% of podcast listeners sticking to the free, stock option.
For my money- I’m in that ⅓ of users that DOES listen from my desktop and needs good sync. Get me that and you can have my money.
But that’s just my opinion.
