PodPal
Podcast Voice Chat
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The podcast player that lets you chat with episodes using your voice. It transcribes and summarizes episodes with AI. Stop listening to everything and get the highlights.
Stop listening to 2-hour podcasts when you only need the highlights.
PodPal is the AI podcast player that actually respects your time. Chat with podcasts using your voice. Discover, listen, transcribe, and summarize episodes from public podcast feeds — all in one app.
VOICE MODE
Have a real-time voice conversation about any episode. PodPal generates an AI character inspired by the show, who welcomes you and walks you through the highlights — ask follow-ups, go deeper, or tap a suggested question. Works out of the box with a PodPal Pro subscription — no API key needed.
CHAT WITH EPISODES
Got a question about something discussed in the episode? Ask it. PodPal's AI chat gives you answers grounded in the actual transcript — no hallucinations, no guessing.
LIVE QUIZ
Test your recall with a quiz generated from what you've heard so far — a quick way to check what stuck.
ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION
Every episode gets a full transcript with tappable timecodes — tap any line to jump to that moment. Transcription runs entirely on your device. No audio ever leaves your phone.
AI SUMMARIES
Get timestamped bullet-point summaries in seconds, powered by Gemini. Skip straight to the parts that matter.
BUILT FOR LISTENING
Stream episodes instantly — playback starts while the episode is still downloading. Background playback, lock screen controls, and adjustable speed from 0.5x to 2x.
FREE TO START
Discover podcasts, stream any episode, and transcribe — all completely free. AI features (summaries, chat, quiz, and voice) work on your first 3 episodes at no cost. After that, subscribe to PodPal Pro for $4.99/month for unlimited access, or bring your own Gemini API key.
