What's New in iCatcher! Podcast App

15.2

October 9, 2026

If you find iCatcher useful, please consider tipping in the help and settings tab, or share the app with your friends! Thanks! What’s New +Added a left-to-right swipe in the same area as swipe-to-dismiss on the new Now Playing view, so you can dismiss it like other pushed views. +When Appearance › Episode Images from Feed is enabled, the episode-specific image (if available) now downloads when an episode is made playable. Previously, this only happened once playback started. +Added the [Up Next queue](x-icatcher://settings/help/upnext). +Updated watch widgets to support watchOS 27 features, including new widget configurations. +Added a Download Episodes shortcut action that lets you choose from already queued episodes. +Improved VoiceOver for episodes within a podcast: each row now has a single callout, with more available actions. +The Now Playing view now appears as a pop-up by default to address issues with the tab bar flashing. The experimental setting has moved to Playback › [General](x-icatcher://settings/playback/general). +Episodes on the Apple Watch now show hours and minutes remaining instead of just minutes. Bug fixes -Fixed the playback pie slice not showing progress. -Fixed the missing download option when tapping an episode that's already queued within a podcast. -Fixed built-in playlists not being reselected automatically on relaunch. -Fixed remote mark as played not working with headphone controls. -Fixed playback not resuming correctly when started from a cold launch.

Great app I’ve been using for years but now not as good

Love this app but so many bugs now. Even with the update having issues where podcasts don’t play (stream) until restart. Also progress circle is bugged and doesn’t accurately show how far into an episode it is now when I’m looking at previously played things. Hope it gets fixed fast.

Years of enjoyment

I have been using this podcast app daily for over 10 years. I love the flexibility of options and love setting up playlists for my work day.

Best podcast app!!

I love iCatcher! and have been using it religiously for years for all of my podcasts.

My only little complaint is with the recent UI update where it’s really hard to tell if an episode has been watched. Something changed with the colors or shading where it used to be obvious, and now I have to study/compare next to another episode. :(

Update: I might be missing something, but now, yes, it’s easy to tell if an episode has been listened to, but it’s the same indication if I’m halfway through or fully listened. The little circle used to show how far I was in the episode and I loved that. :)

Thank you!!

My favorite podcast app (again)

A mature app, and it keeps getting better. Well-designed, and you can tell that it's had real-world testing. Great usability and attention to detail. With so many features and options, you can configure the app exactly the way you want it. I especially like the Auto Start Sleep Timer, a feature I have not seen in other podcast apps. The developer is responsive and releases timely updates.
