Advanced bookmarking function is my favorite feature
I tried several different podcast apps and this one best fit my needs. The most important feature I was looking for was an advanced bookmarking function. As part of my studies, I collect segments of podcasts for future reference, so being able to mark the podcast name, episode, start time, and end time was the most critical. What was also important was the ability to export the bookmarks to a NON-PROPRIETARY format so I can process the information afterwards. This app can export to CSV... perfect. I use this app more than everything else on my phone. A recently added feature, "Newest Downlaoded"/"Oldest Downloaded" under the play order priorities, is extremely valuable at keeping podcast listening truly hands-free when driving.

Perfect for cross-OS imports
This app is truly extraordinary. I have an iphone and my computer runs linux. This combination is sometimes difficult. This app makes it easy. I own non-audible audiobooks on my computer, and all I want is to listen to them on my iphone without passing them through itunes. Almost no app seems to be able to handle this simple task. But not only can Bookmobile import audiobooks from other apps like dropbox, but moreover IT CAN IMPORT DIRECTLY FROM MY BROWSER ON MY COMPUTER. This may be the single most useful feature I have ever encountered in an app. The interface itself is perfect. Simple and intuitive, difficult to mess up. Bookmobile, you got this one right. Highly recommend.

Worth the price just for the bookmark feature
I have been looking for a podcast app that can bookmark several location of a podcast because I am always hearing something during a drive I want to look up later and this app has that and makes it easy! Everything else about this app is icing on the cake. The ability to have my audio books and podcasts in the same app without having to jump back and fourth and remember what I left off on to the 4 custom jump to time settings. All great!!
