What's New in Modcast

2.29

November 2, 2026

Modcast 2.29 brings richer widgets, a smarter Releases list, a better My Podcasts grid, and more control over downloads and notifications. WIDGETS • Widgets take on the colors of your podcast artwork. • Continue Listening lets you skip back, skip ahead and pause without opening the app. Its progress bar moves while you listen, shows chapter marks, and names the chapter you're in. • Play, queue or mark new episodes played straight from the Releases widget. • Play any episode in your queue from the Queue widget. A new large size shows how long your whole queue will take. • New Show widget: pick a podcast and keep its newest episode one tap away. • New Lock Screen widgets: time left above the clock, a count of new episodes, and what's up next. • New Control Center buttons: Skip 30 Seconds, Sleep Timer and Play Latest Release. • Add 5 minutes to the sleep timer or cancel it from the Lock Screen. RELEASES • Episodes are grouped by Today, Yesterday, This Week and earlier, and your priority shows come first. • Several episodes in a row from the same show fold together. • Filter to New, Video or Downloaded, and mark a whole section played, with Undo. MY PODCASTS • A cleaner, tighter grid that fits your screen and text size. • Sort by latest episode, recently played, title, or your own order. • Badges show new episodes at a glance. DOWNLOADS • Choose when downloads may use cellular data. • Automatic downloads now wait while Low Data Mode is on. • Set a storage limit, and remove a whole show's downloads in one step. LIVE AND CLIPS • See when a show you follow is broadcasting live, and listen in from Home. • Hear a short clip of a show before you play a full episode. NOTIFICATIONS • Mark episodes as played from the notification. • Choose a Daily Digest: one notification a day instead of one per episode. ACCESSIBILITY • VoiceOver can now jump between chapters, and to the line being spoken in transcripts. Plus many design refinements and fixes throughout the app.

User reviews

Very promising

I love the simple design and the focus on privacy.

It would be nice to see which features are part of pro beforehand. I’m still within the trial period and am curious what will be still be accessible after that ends.

It would also be nice to see a way to sync with a self-hosted cloud service—like with WebDAV. As well as a way to set new episode notifications per show.

Overall loving this and excited to see what this becomes!

Edit: Originally, I missed the option to import/export OPML in the settings. I also originally stated that the interface was very sluggish and often took a second or two between keystrokes. This was true when I first downloaded the app, but has gotten better. It is still a little sluggish when searching for and adding a podcast, but not as bad as before.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review. I will look into some of your suggestions. The app currently does support OPML import/export (in Settings). I update the app pretty frequently. I just fixed a bunch of minor bugs new version coming soon.

Easy, clean, Noise free

So many podcast players are becoming bloated and noisy. Love being able to subscribe to content and just enjoy it. Great syncing between devices, easy to get to episodes and nice managing features. Love the elegant simplicity. Thank you for this great alternative to the over commercialized other players out there! Nice App!

Thank you, I’m glad you are enjoying this app. Lot of bug fixes and improvements coming soon.

There are Better apps

It really doesn’t have many key features that other “free” apps have. When I emailed support I got no reply. $1 wasted.

Freezes

App freezes after download

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. App updated to fix this issue and new features added. Hope you enjoy.
