What's New in Brink

1.2.44

October 27, 2026

Brink is reimagined for Duo, along with a bunch of improvements. • Your Inbox, your way. Browse episodes with date filters, choose your sorting preferences, and hide episodes already in Up Next. • Keep favorite shows a priority. Star shows from their podcast page and keep your Priority selections synced. • Make Home yours. Choose which sections appear, with refinements to recent releases, Weekly Catch-Up, calendar recommendations, and expected release times. • Raise to Ear. Enable this optional feature to listen privately through your iPhone’s earpiece. Raise your phone to your ear to listen, then lower it to pause. • Find more of what interests you. Search with natural-language descriptions or an image. Improved ranking, spelling suggestions, follow controls, and search recovery help you find shows and episodes. • More dependable playback. Fixes improve episode loading, resuming, seeking, audio effects, and silence detection. Autoplay can continue with eligible older episodes. • A more reliable Up Next. Queue updates better preserve your listening position, episode order, and removals during syncing and connection interruptions. • Stronger syncing and recovery. Improvements help keep followed shows, listening history, completed episodes, preferences, and library state consistent across devices. • Refined podcast pages. Updated artwork, clearer show information, season and episode numbering, improved filters, and release schedules that better reflect each show’s publishing rhythm. • Easier-to-read transcripts. Improved sentence grouping, spacing, and handling of pauses make transcripts more comfortable to follow. • Improved video and sharing. Refinements to native video podcast playback, player layouts, share artwork, share cards, and clip-sharing behavior. • A smoother everyday experience. Improvements to Home scrolling, carousel gestures, navigation, artwork loading, library updates, and player transitions. • Polish across your devices. Layout refinements for larger screens. • Helpful finishing touches. New contextual listening tips, updated translations and Siri vocabulary, clearer empty states, improved notification dismissal, and privacy preference safeguards.

Der Hammer

Wirklich toll gemacht, mal was anderes

Beautiful

Definitively, the most beautiful podcast player, hands down. Very customizable and the developer is very responsive. It’s been my default player for a few months now and part of every commute with CarPlay and it keeps getting better with every release

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️

Application design is amazing!

The app looks very nice and runs very well and smooth. Hope they keep this up

Wow!

This app has quickly replaced my previous apps Downcast and Overcast.

Using it feels like an experience, and devs are continuously updating and refining it.

👏👏👏
