Full description
The independent podcast app built for listeners, not advertising companies. Listen to more of the shows you love; your data stays private, and you control how you listen. SMART SKIP Skip past the bits other listeners skip. Smart Skip spots commonly skipped topics using aggregated listener data, so you spend more time on what matters and less on the filler. The more the community listens, the smarter it gets. SMART SUMMARIES Every podcast and episode gets an AI-generated summary that evolves over time. Discover new shows you'd never have found. Quickly decide if an episode is worth a listen, before you press play. Summaries update as podcasts grow, so you always have the latest picture. SMART TOPICS Key topics are automatically highlighted across your favourite podcasts. Jump straight to the sections you care about most. No more scrubbing through episodes looking for the good parts; Smart Topics surfaces them for you. Share a topic timestamp with a friend in a single tap. ALSO INCLUDED Skip Silence trims silences and dead air from every episode without changing how natural the host sounds. Pair it with adjustable playback speed (0.5x–3x) and pitch correction to fit even more into your day. FEATURES • Support innovation in open podcasting • Smart Skip auto-skips commonly skipped topics • Smart Summaries for every podcast and episode • Smart Topics with section jumping and shareable timestamps • Skip Silence trims silences and dead air • Add any podcast by search or RSS URL • Download episodes for offline listening • Adjustable playback speed (0.5x–3x) with pitch correction • Sleep timer • Background playback with lock screen and notification controls • Playlists to organise episodes across shows • Auto-download new episodes • Auto-delete played episodes • Wi-Fi only downloads • Episode-ready notifications • Dark mode PLANS & PRICING Building and maintaining a multi-platform, open, distributed podcasting app costs a lot! Recently large media platforms with hundreds of millions in funding have entered the space with the goal of killing the RSS feed and making podcasting just one more entertainment form in their closed subscription apps. Your small monthly payment goes a small way to covering the costs, while sending a big message to these platforms that you want to keep podcasting open. Start free. Add as many podcasts as you like and put Podtastic's smart features to work on 2 of them, no time limit. Go Unlimited to unlock the smart features on every podcast you follow: • Just $2.99/month, billed annually ($34.99/year), save 70% • Or $9.99/month • 14-day free trial, cancel anytime Subscriptions are billed through Google Play and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Google Play → Subscriptions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://podtastic.app/info/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://podtastic.app/info/privacy-policy
