Last updated: May 2026 OPML import and export are part of the free core player, so listeners can switch apps without rebuilding every subscription by hand. ## Useful, specific, and tied to the app. ### Import from another app Use an OPML file to bring subscriptions from another podcast player into The Podcast App. ### Export when needed Keep portability practical: OPML export gives listeners a copy of their followed-show subscription list. ### Pair with free listening Use OPML with free streaming, queue tools, sleep timer, speed controls, and limited downloads. ## How this works inside The Podcast App. The practical boundary is simple: free core listening comes first, Premium limits stay clear, and advanced features depend on eligible podcast data. ### Move subscriptions, not private app state OPML is the practical portability layer for followed shows. Playback progress, queue state, listening history, favorites, downloads, settings, app-specific recommendations, and account-specific data depend on each app and may not transfer. ### Use the free OPML tools The Podcast App site also includes OPML generator and viewer tools for checking, editing, and understanding subscription lists before or after a switch, especially when a listener is moving from another app. ### Tie portability to the player After import, the useful conversion path is normal listening: search, follow, queue, sleep timer, speed controls, limited downloads, limited transcripts, OPML export, and optional Premium AI when it fits. ## A closer look at the app workflow. ## What to understand before downloading. ### Best search fit This page covers an app-specific switching feature that users actively search for when leaving another player. ### Conversion fit It links naturally to the switching hub and existing OPML import page. ### Trust fit Clear OPML export language is stronger than vague claims about owning your data. ## Clear plan boundaries matter. ### Free tier OPML import and export are free core player features. ### Premium tier Premium is optional for advanced AI features and expanded limits. ### Portability limits OPML moves supported subscription lists. It is not a full backup of playback progress, queue state, downloads, settings, or account-specific data. ## Related app-specific pages ## Start with the free player. Add Premium when the deeper workflow fits. Core listening is free. Premium unlocks deeper AI features and expanded limits for listeners who need more. ## Continue with closely related guides. Use these pages to compare nearby features, listening routines, and app-switching paths. ## Structured Data ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "WebPage", "about": { "@type": "SoftwareApplication", "downloadUrl": [ "https://apps.apple.com/app/the-podcast-app/id6754806244?utm_source=website&utm_medium=landing_page&utm_campaign=podcast_app_with_opml_export", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magnolia.thepodcastapp&referrer=utm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Dlanding_page%26utm_campaign%3Dpodcast_app_with_opml_export" ], "name": "The Podcast App", "sameAs": [ "https://apps.apple.com/app/the-podcast-app/id6754806244?utm_source=website&utm_medium=landing_page&utm_campaign=podcast_app_with_opml_export", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magnolia.thepodcastapp&referrer=utm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Dlanding_page%26utm_campaign%3Dpodcast_app_with_opml_export" ] }, "description": "Move podcast subscriptions with OPML import and export.
