Will this work with a podcast app like Downcast which uses the standard skip forward/back iPhone controls?

I don't know that, I purchased this to use with the "On Song" app and works beautifully. I've never tried it with anything else, sorry.

I am afraid I am not familiar with Downcast but if it uses page up page down controls from a Bluetooth keyboard it should work. The Airtouch web site should be able to answer your question.

There's an iPhone app available from a 3rd party for $4.99 (but no audio). The web interface works with Safari / Chrome browsers, but no audio (at least I couldn't get it to work).

I use an android device and yes it works. Basically there's two forms of bluetooth connectivity : phone only and phone and audio. The audio buttons on the speaker interface with the same buttons on android apps (pandora, music player, etc). You can even stream youtube audio or Netflix audio through it.. And the same skip controls work.

Microphone and volume control, call answer, track skip for Apple products. Not sure of remote function for non-Apple devices...

I have this radio and use it with Pandora when I shower. It doesn't have buttons to skip songs or anything like that to control my Iphone or computer. Works nice for what I wanted though.

Looks like normal iTouch doesn't have this yet, but I know the Sony PSP does. You get a somewhat limited web browser and can click on rss links to subscribe. You can listen to podcasts live or tell the PSP when to wake up everyday, I picked 5am, and click which podcast groups you want it to sync for you.It doesn't grab text or blog feeds just audio and video podcasts. I wasn't sure how much I'd use the PSP but the automatic syncing of podcast audio has really made me use it everyday.

You will be able to control the volume output from the iphone and not the speakers

Depends on the android device. The remote/mic/headset spec that iphones recognize IS a standard, but strangely, not all Android devices abide this standard. The Nexus 5 for instance, can NOT be controlled with this device, but the speakers/mic work just fine.

No, for that you need to buy a converter , but the converter will not allow to control your i pod/ phone with remote

Unfortunately I don't know that, i have an iPhone and works well with it. It doesn't have the volume up/down capability but allows for forwarding to the next song with a double click of the microphone piece.

What a good question! I had to grab my device to see if you can. And............You can! How cool. So, while listening to a recording (song or voice) If you press and release the forward or back button, it advances to the next or goes back to the last track. But if you press and hold the forward or back button it will advance or rewind within the current track being listened to. So there you have it. I'll be leveraging this feature in future for sure. Cheers and thanks for asking!

Yes. It works with iTunes Radio if you are within the wifi range. Unfortunately I have been unable to control iTunes with the remote . All other iPod/iPad/iPhone audio functions are supported with the remote. I hope this help.

No. - If you pause a podcast, and then listen to that exact same podcast again, it will remember your place.- But, if you pause a podcast, and then go listen to another podcast, when you return to the first podcast, it will start you back at the beginning.And yes, it's amazingly hard to believe that Sony has not included this most basic of functionality, but it has not. Steer clear of this device if you want to use it to listen to podcasts and audiobooks.

Yes, the black version has an extra control to skip tracks. On older versions of iOS it would not skip tracks, so I assume Monster left it out to prevent complaints/returns. Newer iOS versions do work with it, so not only does it work it actually gives you an additional control. Of course, the price on Amazon jumps all over the place, so which is cheaper varies from day to day.

I think the problem is that there is only one camera input. I don't think this would work. It's a great idea, though. The "fooling it to believe it's in Park" is the least of the problems. Incidentally, if you haven't bought yet, and you own an iPhone get AppRadio 3 with CarPlay. This AppRadio2 has become very problematical with IOS8. If I knew then what I know now, I would have waited for the unit with CarPlay. That's if you use an iPhone 5 or later.

Yes. Although I had a lot of trouble with the skip forward and skip backward buttons. I could never get them to work properly. I wound up returning the unit. Good luck.

Yes, I use the remote to place calls and answer them from my iphone. Microphone and volume controls work fine. Only thing is that the start/stop/connect button is just a tiny little bump and sometimes I miss pushing it. Could have been larger.
