Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

The Podcast App now works on Apple Watch. • Listen from your wrist: stream over Wi-Fi or cellular, or download episodes to your watch. • Your shows, Up Next and listening position sync between iPhone and Apple Watch. • A complication keeps the episode you're on one tap from the watch face. Skip ads on supported shows. • Skip forward during a known ad break and one tap jumps to where the show resumes. Never automatic. Turn it off in Settings if you prefer. • Known ad breaks are marked on the timeline. • Cleaner chapters: timestamp lists in show notes no longer show up as chapters. • Playback and stability fixes.
