7 Best Podcast Apps For Pixel 3
If you have a favorite podcast or audio show that you like to listen to, you’ve probably been aware of how difficult it is to listen to them on Android without downloading a third-party app.
With so many different options available, it can be difficult to find a good one for you to use for all of your podcast needs. That’s why we’ve put together this list: to show you the best podcast apps on the market for your Pixel 3. This ultimately helps you “avoid” all of the fluff that’s out there.
Here are some of our favorite picks.
Google Podcasts
Google Podcasts is first up on our list, and it’s actually one of the best podcast apps for Pixel 3 that you can use today. Google Podcasts wasn’t around until recently, but they filled a big problem that many smartphone users saw with Android: the lack of a native podcast app to handle all of their favorite subscriptions and shows.
This one is a free download, and once you have it all setup, you will have instant access to an absolutely massive library of all sorts of content. You’ll be able to subscribe to your favorite podcasts and shows with Google Podcasts, and you’ll be able to do other things like search for audiobooks, radio, talk shows, and so much more.
We really like the seamlessness that Google Podcasts have — you can start listening to something on your Google Pixel 3, and then instantly pick up where you left off on the computer or another device.

There are a lot of neat features inside, such as being able to create a playlist for your podcasts, set a sleep timer, control the speed, and even export podcasts to an SD card.
