Requires SDcard for HTC Incredible

DoggCatcher user reviews:

I wish I could be able to rate it 5 stars though, I use it every day and some behaviors are really annoying, the back end crashes often when used with my headset, ui freezes on occasion etc.

On ICS, I had no issues and love the app, but on JB (cm10 preview, sgs3), it locks audio on the whole device until a reboot if you try to play anything. Not the apps fault, but something to consider if you take risks with your phone.

First off, this has to be the best podcast catcher app on the market period. Great app except that you don’t get the option to move the app to the SD card. I would give up the widget to be able to move it. If I could move it, 5 stars would be given.
