Have you tried Downcast? You can sync your podcasts across multiple devices, and it outperforms the iphone podcast app in every way (or at least since I abandoned the podcast app a few years ago).
Another vote for Downcast. It's starting to show it's age but I saw online that version 3 should be coming soon. Then again, that blog post is almost a year old.

We've talked about it in the podcast thread a bit, but I'm a weird dinosaur when it comes to podcasts--I much, much prefer downloading podcasts than streaming them. Unless an app has a feature that allows you to build multiple playlists, it's a no-go for me.

You can download them in Downcast, but you can't customize your own playlist yet (though he says it's up for V3)

I have a custom playlist that curates itself: they play in order of release and it always adds the newest episodes automatically. That alone is what keeps me from moving on while this wait for 3.0 keeps going.
I just got a fiio x3 II, any recommendations for headphones it will push? I have Grado SR 80s, which I think sound pretty good with my laptop but were underwhelming with the x3. Right now I'm using Bullex ear buds which aren't bad. I don't care if they are new or used but I'm trying not to spend more than $60.

CHUD,
Do you have problems with your album art displaying? The first thing I do when I download anything is embed every song on the album with art and proper tags through dbpoweramp. Then load it to the fiio.
In pure music mode I have had all of it show up, then slowly disappear over time until none of the art shows up. 8,000+ songs.
Any other android app music players you use/prefer?

Are you using the second or third generation x5?
I don't really pay too much attention to the album art before loading the songs onto the device, because I don't really care that much about it. So sometimes it shows up and other times it doesn't, but I assume that's because many of the albums I have are missing the artwork, not because the device is mishandling it.

I actually found a letter to users that said it's a big problem that they are trying to fix. Apparently they use different file types and most of their album art is sepereate files contained in the album folder.

You're a fucking monster.
I'm sorry, I don't spend a lot of time staring at the 1.5x1.5 inch screen while the music is playing.
