Features
PodcastPod finds your next favorite show. It answers the question every podcast app punts on — "what should I listen to next?" — with recommendations that feel personal from the first session and always tell you why they're there ("Because you finished…", "Trending in Technology", "Similar to…").
Under the hood there's no cloud AI: discovery runs on locally hosted models and honest heuristics, ranked right on your device against your own listening. That keeps it fast, works where it matters offline, and costs nothing to run — a capability and cost decision, not a privacy claim.
The player leaves nothing on the table for switchers from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Pocket Casts: streaming with instant resume, downloads with smart per-show rules, a drag-reorder queue, speed from 0.5× to 3.5×, silence trimming, chapters, sleep timer, bookmarks, transcripts, and OPML import in one tap. Sign in and your whole podcast life — subscriptions, positions, downloads, bookmarks, queue, and settings — syncs to every device.
Free and fully functional, supported by ads. PodcastPod Premium ($1.99/month or $9.99/year) does exactly one thing: removes every ad, everywhere. No feature is ever paywalled.
