Rediscover a favourite podcast, catch up at your own pace and enjoy smoother everyday listening. PODCAST REPLAY Turn a show's available back catalogue into your own listening schedule. Choose a starting episode, then add matching episodes daily, on weekdays or on selected days, with one or more release times. Replay follows your Download Feed Filters and Episode Limit, while keeping your existing Up Next priorities. BINGE MODE Prefer to keep listening without a timetable? Binge Mode prepares one upcoming episode when you start listening. With Episode Limit set to 1, you can keep the episode you've started plus one ready for next time. It won't download the whole back catalogue or interrupt another show. CLEARER SETUP AND CONTROLS • Refreshed Download Feed Filters with clearer Include/Exclude rules, readable phrase fields and previews that update with your settings. • Guided Add RSS Feed flow with clearer link entry, podcast previews and error messages. • Redesigned Sleep Schedule with glass cards, a saved-schedule summary and clearer guidance. Your existing settings and options are preserved. • Clearer explanations throughout Settings and the in-app guide. SMOOTHER PLAYBACK Play Instant now protects the final two minutes of an episode and returns directly to your interrupted episode when the Instant episode finishes. Improvements to pause/resume recovery, end-of-file handling, download retries and saved download statistics help listening continue more reliably. INTERFACE REFINEMENTS Fixed duplicate Back buttons on iOS 27 and restored a continuous purple glass background beneath the mini-player's progress bar. Improved startup background coverage and made the podcast name on Episode Detail a direct link to the show. MORE HELPFUL DIAGNOSTICS Improved diagnostic exports and recovery information, with additional redaction of personal audio-output names and feed identifiers when sharing logs for support.

STATS YOU CAN TRUST Improved listening-time, completion, Top Shows, streak and time-saved accounting, including faster playback and sessions crossing midnight. Stronger local backups and iCloud reconciliation help protect history and statistics. Export Stats as CSV or JSON, restore supported backups, and inspect Stats Health and coverage information. Older records with limited detail are identified more clearly; accounting improvements cannot recreate missing historical listening. SMOOTHER EVERYDAY PLAYBACK Newly released episodes from the same feed are handled more reliably within your download limits. Finishing an episode, including skipping to its end, now settles completion and Up Next more consistently. Play Instant protects the final minute of an episode.

What's New in Autohop 1.2 ``` CARPLAY SUPPORT Autohop now works on your car's dashboard. Connect your iPhone and you get Now Playing, Up Next, playback speed, and archive controls — all in sync with the app. CarPlay plays downloaded episodes only, keeping things reliable on the road. SMARTER BACKGROUND REFRESH Autohop now stays up to date even when you haven't opened the app. An overnight catch-up runs while your phone charges on Wi-Fi, refreshing all feeds and downloading new episodes so your queue is ready in the morning. Autohop also refreshes feeds during background audio playback, so the next episode is ready before the current one ends. RELEASE RADAR v2 Release Radar, which learns when each of your podcasts publishes, has been significantly improved. It now learns which days each show publishes — a Mon/Wed/Fri show no longer wastes slots on weekends. It self-corrects when a show changes its schedule. New transparency tools: Release Radar Data (Podcast Settings → Feed) and Feed Refresh Schedule (App Settings → Release Radar) show exactly what Autohop has learned and when it will next check each show. DOWNLOAD FILTERS New per-podcast rules that control which episodes get automatically downloaded — filter by duration, title keywords, or description keywords, with include or exclude modes. Set in Podcast Settings → Download Filters, with a live feed preview. EXPANDED DISCOVER CHARTS The Discover page now has two full chart pages: Top 50 Episodes and Top 50 Podcasts for your selected country, with an editorial layout mixing feature cards and ranked rows. UP NEXT The queue sheet is now called Up Next throughout the app and in CarPlay. Swipe actions now have animations and haptics — rows glide to the top or bottom on Play Next/Last, and archive rows shrink and fade out. Expanding a row in Up Next shows shortcut buttons to jump straight to that show's episode list or settings.
