Flight Ready now works on every playlist, including ones made from shows you don't follow, and each episode in a playlist shows when it's ready. Clearer messages when there's nothing to prepare.

Flight Ready for playlists Swipe right on a playlist, or tap Flight Ready on its page, to prepare every unplayed episode for listening with no signal: audio, Smart Skip and transcript, verified before you board. Playlists that are ready show a plane badge, and the Library shows how many episodes are flight-ready. Know before you download If a playlist is bigger than the room left under your download limit, YAPP tells you how much it needs and what would be removed to make space, so there are no surprises later. Fixes • Episodes from some shows failed to download. They download now. • A saved show could open with no episodes. It shows them now. • The same show sometimes appeared twice in search results. • The start of some episodes was skipped too far ahead when the opening was repeated later in the episode.

Storage cleanup • YAPP now tidies up after itself. Audio files left behind by old downloads are removed automatically, freeing up space on your device. • Downloads & Storage shows any leftover files and lets you clear them with a tap. • An episode that's already on your device is never downloaded twice.

- Episodes start faster: YAPP now finds where the show begins in a couple of seconds instead of waiting for the whole episode to be prepared. - Closing credits are trimmed more precisely, so the last line of a news segment is no longer cut off. - Smaller fixes to how listening is measured.

- Smart Skip now works on episodes you open from a shared link, search or Discover, not only from shows you follow. - Fixed a case where resuming an episode right after opening the app could fail to smart-skip.

- Transcripts now stay in sync when an episode's analysis is refreshed behind the scenes. - Long episodes prepare more reliably for Smart Skip, including the later breaks in multi-hour shows.

• Long episodes now prepare reliably for Smart Skip, and the player tells you if one can't be prepared instead of showing "analyzing" indefinitely. • Smart Skip matches ad breaks on more episodes, including ones whose ad load differs a lot from copy to copy. • Jumping forward into a section you've already passed now carries you past it again. • Automatic downloads keep flowing when storage is full: older unplayed episodes make room, and the Downloads page tells you if they ever can't. • Show pages opened from Community Picks show their description straight away, and Discover no longer leaves a blank page after an empty search. • The search bar now matches your chosen theme.

• Automatic downloads keep flowing when storage is full: older unplayed episodes make room for new ones, and the Downloads page tells you if they ever can't. • Jumping forward into a section you've already passed now carries you past it again. • Show pages opened from Community Picks show their description straight away. • Searching in Discover no longer leaves a blank page after an empty result. • Closing a page on iOS 27 no longer flashes or replays its animation. • Smaller app download.

Smart Skip: fixed a rare case where a mis-matched ad boundary could skip several minutes of content. Smart Skip: closing credits are skipped reliably; the coverage notice now explains itself and can be tapped to report an ad. Friend invites now include a subject and a short explanation. Preview and Weekly Roundup play buttons show playing and paused state.

• Smoother, faster lists: artwork now loads at the size it's shown and pages no longer stutter while scrolling. • Sections show placeholders while they load instead of appearing all at once. • Automatic downloads keep working when your download storage is full: older played or long-unplayed episodes make room. • Friends' picks on their profile page. • Small fixes and refinements.

• Community Picks: podcasts recommended by other listeners, on Discover and on every show page. Sign in to recommend a show yourself. • Fixed the queue playing an episode you had removed after the last queued episode finished. • Corrected category names in the catalog. • Small fixes and refinements.

• Clearer feedback when an episode is being prepared for Smart Skip — a progress dialog on every page, a spinner on the episode itself, and a Cancel button if you change your mind. • Faster Smart Skip preparation, especially on long episodes. • Ad breaks early in an episode are now skipped as soon as they're found, without waiting for the whole episode to finish preparing. • Transcript highlighting keeps pace early in long episodes. • Cancel a Flight Ready preparation at any time. • Shows you follow now sync reliably even on a poor connection. • Small fixes and refinements.

• See where you are in the episode at a glance — the floating player now shows a progress line. • Smoother subscription handling when moving between builds. • Improved links between the app and the web. • Small fixes and refinements.

• Faster, more reliable loading when your signal is weak — Discover and Library now show what's already on your phone right away. • Tap the artwork on any show or episode page to see it full size. • Share a line from a transcript: long-press a sentence to send the quote with a link that opens the episode right there. • See at a glance which downloads are fully prepared for offline listening. • Fixes for subscription checks and the Premium screen layout.
