Poddington: Podcasts up next

I made Poddington because I couldn't find a podcast app that was tailored to how I listen. I'm very finicky. When I start a new show, I want to choose the episode or season to start from. Most apps hand you the newest episode first. Poddington starts at the beginning and plays the rest in order. Shows play in order Follow a show and its episodes line up oldest first. Home shows where you are in each one and what's next. When an episode ends, the next one starts on its own. Start from a season A lot of shows come in seasons now. You can start at the newest season, or any season you pick. If you change your mind later, the episodes you skipped come back. Or newest first News and weekly shows can run newest first instead. You choose when you follow a show, and you can change it on the show's page. Once you've caught up on a show you're hearing in order, its new episodes join the rest on Home. Home the way you like it Turn sections on or off and put them in any order, or keep everything in one list. Set how many episodes each show gets and how recent counts as new. Finding shows Pick the kinds of shows you like and you get a row of each. Discover suggests shows like the ones you already follow. The matching happens on your iPhone. Listening Set how far the skip buttons jump. The skip buttons on your Lock Screen, headphones and car follow the same setting. Sleep timer and playback speed are there too. Turn your iPhone on its side while something is playing and it becomes a radio you can read from across the room. iPhone Duo Open it and Up next and the player sit side by side. Prop it open and the top half shows the episode while the bottom half holds big controls. No account There's no sign-in and nothing is collected. Your shows and your place in them sync through your own iCloud, which I can't see. It's free. If it makes your listening a little nicer, you can sponsor an episode in the app. Or not, no presh. James
