(http://polldaddy.com/poll/8607178/)</noscript></div> <p>Apple's built-in Podcasts (http://www.imore.com/podcasts) app covers all the basics. Audio and video, download and streaming, discovery and subscription. It also syncs with iTunes on Mac and Windows. So, if you're just getting into podcasts, it's a great app to get into them with. If and when you're ready for something else — or something more — there are several great options available on the App Store. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, so consider them all, try the ones you find interesting, and pick the perfect podcast app for you!</p> <p>And if you've already picked your perfect podcast app, vote in the poll (http://www.imore.com/seven-nearly-perfect-podcast-apps-iphone#slide9) at the end and let us know which one it is!</p> <p>Note: We're only including traditional podcast players in this roundup.
