Has anyone got this? Or tried it out?
I've been trying it for the last couple of days and it's opened my eyes to the world of PodCasts! I've subscribed to 26 feeds, some of which are simply RSS, and some of which are "proper" PodCasts. It's awesome. Automatically downloading PodCasts over my WiFi connection, and then letting me play them back using the Smart Playlist option is amazing. Anyone got any hints or tips, or any recommended PodCasts?

Podcasts
Anything from the Twit network and "Are We Alone", the Seti podcast, are great.
I've been using BeyondPod on Windows Mobile and have purchased it on Android.
Are you using the scheduled updates ? Mine is set to check and download updates at 5am every day, so I have fresh podcasts ready for me when I get up.
For all the fuss about the new Doggcatcher app and it being a features app in the market, I find BeyondPod a much better app.
Thanks!
I'm signed up to The Week in Tech and The Week in Google.
I was considering looknig at Doggcatcher, but it seems a bit redundant really as BeyondPod seems to do everything I want it to

One stop A/V app ...
Set it up with your TV provider and it has the full TV schedule on your tablet. It provides a nice set of universal remote control options for controlling your A/V setup. Once you get the remote setup, then you can choose your channel from the TV guide with the IR.
It also has a very robust setup for watching videos, searching videos, watching movies and trailers, etc. It will show what movies are on other services and launch them if you choose to watch (Free crunchyroll, etc)
I cant find .apk, for edit, where folder locate?

I've had my Google Home for about one week now and starting to find ways to use it around the house.
To be fair its still "thrill of newness" in the household but of course that won't be enough in the long run..
Mostly we use it for:
* Play music from different channels/artists on Google Play music
* Daughter is starting to abandon her blue tooth speaker with Spotify
* Dimming several Hue lights in different part of the house
* Setting timer
* "Tell me about my day" - Problem is I've got several calendars (one o365) - need to fix this..
* Sometimes listening to news
* Would like to connect it to Swedish radio app... to start livestreaming a chosen channel...
What are your best uses for the Google Home in your home?
We use it for...
Timer in the kitchen
Play music on Google Chromecast Audio
Remember things for us, like codes and phone numbers
Sing us a song (Alexa does that)
i'm using it for:
- weather forecast
- play music from google play music
- control philips hue lights (on/off, dim, change colours)
- stream youtube videos to chromecast
- show pictures from google photos on tv
- listening to romanian local radio (play europa fm from tunein); not all local radios are working unfortunately
- play kids music from my playlist on GPM
- control AV system through smarthings-logitech hub
- play trivia with my wife
- get the route to work info
- small tasks using autovoice
- adding shopping items to list (using keep and shared with my wife's)
Only bought today
Using for music an Chromecast.
Don't have Spotify subscription or Google play music so have to improvise.
But i do love it
Google Home and Facebook Jarvis
Which one is more useful?
Wondering will Windows Cortana and iPhone Siri join this ally
Using it to control a fan (power, speed, and timer), TV (power and starting Netflix to the Chromecast), sound bar (volume, power . Use it for the weather, questions, adding stuff to grocery list. Planning out how I want to do my lighting. Loving it.

I have many customizations that I use every day including:
- Announcing incoming calls
- Announcing notifications (email and push notifications)
- Reading incoming text messages aloud
- Sending text messages
- Initiating calls
- Creating calendar events
- Starting navigation as I am walking out the door in the morning
- Reminding me of missed calls and unread text messages
My most used native functions are:
- Playing music (spotify, Pandora, and local radio stations)
- Updating shopping list
- Setting timers when doing laundry
- Looking up word definitions
- Turning lights on/off (attached to Wemo switches)
GH was one of the most useful Christmas gifts I have ever received.

I don't notice any additional drain whatsoever.
May I ask if it can be detected as a wireless "headset"? For example using both mic and speaker to place calls or skype calls..
I am planning on getting a home mini..
Alarm Clock and Podcasts.

I am not sure if it'll do Skype, but you can certainly make regular phone calls. Just use the "call <name>" command.
Hey Google, call mom.
- music
- kitchen timer
- morning news
-casting music to TV/AV
- "show me the front yard" - casts my front porch Nest outdoor cam to my den TV. Recently figured out if I'm at my office (15 miles away) and say this to my phone, it will still cast the Nest outdoor cam to the TV, even though I'm not on the home wifi. Kinda neat/odd
- Switches (6 and growing )
- News summaries in the morning
- Broadcast messages
- Casting music to one or more devices
- Time, weather, forecast and more
Will be expanding after Xmas.
Now use it about 90% of the time instead of the Echo dots.
Like the Google home devices quite a bit after a little learning curve.
Turning the coffee pot on from upstairs when I wake up.
Turning our Xfinity cable box off at night and on in the morning because the hard drive is a bit noisy when sleeping.
Both using WeMo Smart Switches
Daily agenda with temp, calendar events, and a brief news rundown from NPR
Turn on/off electronic devices via Logitech Harmony Hub
Turn on/off switches and home alarm via Samsung Smartthings Hub
Start Casting CBS shows
Start Casting Music via Spotify to home theater system via Chromecast audio
So far I use Google Home only for Spotify, coz where I live there is no support for it. ?
Some thing not mentioned, I use it in conjunction with home-assistant.io With a few hacks I was able to control my receiver.
