What's New in Podtastic

9.0.5

September 18, 2026

Bug Fixes - Fixed new episodes not arriving. Episodes were being found in your podcast feeds but lost before they reached your library, so nothing appeared, downloaded or processed. They now come through normally. - Fixed podcasts that had stopped checking for new episodes staying stuck that way, in some cases for days. - If episodes had been missing for a while, expect a batch of downloads to arrive after updating as your library catches up.

User reviews

Pleasantly surprised

Spectacular app

Good idea, but doesn’t work reliably and it is too expensive

The idea of skipping ads is great, but only if it actually works. The app often skips over parts of a podcast that are not ads or plays the ads even when it’s not supposed to.

$10/month is an outrageous price for something that doesn’t even work that well.

Great if it works

Great idea. Use AI and user data to determine where in the podcasts are and skip them automatically. And it works great, *if* it works.

Tested on a podcast episode. Worked like a charm. Downloaded another episode of the same podcast. “Processing” after 2 hours. Asked it to retry processing. Hours after, still processing.

I’ll try this for another week or two, but for now it looks like this is not something that I’d pay $40/yr for. It seems like it’s just not yet ready.

Edit: finally finished processing. I’ll edit the review in a week again.

Works exactly as described

Always wanted something like this, so glad someone made it.

Imo much nicer than other apps out there due to having topics, transcripts and skip silence. Haven’t really encounter many bugs so keep up the great work!!!

Really enjoying the app so far!

As a long time subscriber to OverCast, I just purchased the annual subscription to Podtastic. I love the auto-skipping feature and auto-generated topic lists. While a very different app than OverCast, I like it as it will help me listen to a wider variety of podcasts because it makes it easy for me to skip topics that I don’t personally find interesting.
