Home / Free podcast app
A free podcast app. Here's what's free.
Install it, skip sign-in, start listening. The whole player is free on iPhone and Android, and downloads are unlimited.

Premium is $4.99 a month in the App Store or Google Play; the price the store shows is final. No account is needed for anything on the free side. Signing in is optional and adds sync between your devices.
No ads from the app
The app shows no banners and puts no ads between episodes. Ads that a host reads inside the episode audio are part of the file and can still play. On supported shows, Smart Ad-Skip marks those breaks: when one plays, tap Skip Ad to jump to the end of it. Undo jumps back, and you can turn the feature off in Settings.
Downloads have no cap
Download episodes on Wi-Fi and play them on a plane, in a tunnel or anywhere without signal. Your phone's storage is the only limit. Auto-download can keep new episodes coming; listening offline has the details.
Bring your shows
Coming from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts or Overcast? Export an OPML file and import it in one go. The switch guide has the steps for each app. Want to try before installing? The web player plays any show in your browser.
