# Poddle — Faster podcasts, no chipmunks > Faster podcasts, no chipmunks (iPhone/iPad app by Michael Cann.) - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/poddle/id6825613455 (this page in markdown: same URL + `.md`) - Developer: [Michael Cann](https://appshunter.io/developer/552109006) - Category: News, Entertainment - Price: Free - Age rating: 12+ - Requires: iOS 18.0 · 18 MB - Languages: American English - Released: 2026-10-26 - Data updated: 2026-10-29 ## What is Poddle? Poddle is a podcast player I made for myself. It has one Up Next queue, speed-ups that still sound like people, and stats on how much you actually listen (a lot, in my case). SPEED WITHOUT THE CHIPMUNKS Poddle's Speech-tuned speed-up is made for voices, so 2x still sounds like the person talking. Poodle Trim snips out the silences between words (poodles do love a trim), and Even Volume sorts out quiet hosts and loud ads. SETTINGS FOR EACH SHOW Every show can have its own speed, Poodle Trim, Even Volume, intro and outro skips, and where its new episodes go. Or leave them on your defaults and forget about it. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Import your shows, what you've played, where you're up to, your starred episodes and your whole listening history, so your stats start with everything you've already heard. STATS AND YEAR IN REVIEW See how long you've listened, how much time speed and Poodle Trim saved you, your top shows and your streaks. At the end of the year there's a Year in Review you can share. DOWNLOADS THAT LOOK AFTER YOUR DATA Poddle only downloads on Wi-Fi unless you say otherwise. Out and about and want something now? Allow mobile downloads for an hour, three hours or until tomorrow, and it goes back to Wi-Fi only by itself. Streaming works anywhere. SHARE LINKS Share an episode or a show and your friend gets a page that plays it in their browser, from the bit you meant, or opens it in Poddle if they have it. AND A POODLE Poddle sounds like poodle, so there's a fluffy cartoon poodle in headphones who keeps you company round the app. If it's a bit much you can turn the animation off in Profile.

Search in Discover and there's an Episodes section under the shows. Tapping a show there opens it too, so you can have a look at its episodes before you follow it. This one came from a feature request as well, so thanks for that! I hope you like it! ### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-28 New episodes now land and download in the background, so they're there when you open Poddle instead of only turning up once you do. This one came from a feature request, so thanks for that! • Up Next is a bit tidier. Each episode shows its real length rather than the sped-up time, and the filter chips and big title have gone. How long the whole lot takes at your speeds is now at the bottom of the list. • Download icons only show up when something needs your attention, like an episode that isn't downloaded yet, is waiting for Wi-Fi or failed. • Suggesting a feature is simpler: it's just one box now, and you can still add a screenshot or a voice note. I hope you like it! ### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-27 The first update! It's mostly fixes, some I ran into myself and some the new tests caught. • Silence trimming and volume levelling have their new names, Poodle Trim and Even Volume, so the app matches this page. They work just the same as before. • Keep latest now limits Up Next too. I set a news show to keep 1 and Up Next still filled up with its old episodes, so now only its newest one stays. It's on All unless you change it, so nothing comes out of Up Next unless you ask. • The last episode in a list now scrolls up clear of the mini player instead of hiding under it. • Playing an episode from a shared link takes you to Now Playing, rather than leaving you sat on the episode page. • A share link that opened Poddle from scratch could say the episode wasn't found. That's sorted now. • Stats doesn't get stuck on "Counting up your listening…" after you sign in any more. • Shows you used to listen to now turn up under Past shows after an import. • Right after you sign in, auto-downloads wait for your settings, so they won't start if you've turned them off. • If you say no to Poddle reading your clipboard in Discover, you can type the link in instead. I hope you like it! ### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-27 No release notes. ## More apps by Michael Cann - [Mr Nibbles Forever](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mr-nibbles-forever/id958818922) - [Let’s Build It!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lets-build-it/id6775646688) All apps by Michael Cann: https://appshunter.io/developer/552109006 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
