What's New in Podtastic

9.0.1

September 4, 2026

**What's New** - Smart Clips: the list is now a preview card with quick actions, capture confirms with a "Clip saved" flash and a clearer sound, and a clip whose source episode you deleted offers to download it back. - Settings now tells you, right where you set it, when your headphone or car back-press saves a clip. - One "Feature and bug updates" notification opt-out in the settings. - Low Power Mode now eases background work automatically, alongside big cuts to processing, disk and battery use during playback and Skip Silence. **Bug Fixes** - Topics didn't start at the intro of the show. Intros and outros are now explicitly labelled in the topic list. - Swiping down in an episode transcript now scrolls the transcript instead of closing the player. - Playback no longer resumes onto the phone's speaker when headphones or a car stereo disconnect. - Fixed a crash when switching accounts, and audio from the previous account carrying over. - Fixed opening a podcast sometimes showing the previous podcast's page. - A damaged download now repairs itself instead of retrying forever. - Jump to Video is steadier when auto-advancing and when opening the player. - Fixed Smart Clips stuck on "Still processing", and the share button jumping width. - Fixed the auto-download limit reading "1 episodes" and snapping to the wrong value. - Edit Tab Bar now uses the right icon.

User reviews

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.

Useless.

App is useless. Said processing. Waited for ages, eventually gave up.
