## What is RelayPlay?

Listen to podcasts without losing the thread.

Missed episodes, want to catch up from a specific point, or save something intentionally for later? RelayPlay organizes podcasts not just by date, but by the way you want to listen.

CATCH UP
Choose your starting point and listen to episodes in the right order until you are back at the latest episode.

HOLD
Not now, but later. Set aside a podcast or a single episode for a longer drive, a quiet evening, or whenever the time is right.

LATEST
Just want to stay current? Latest brings the newest episode into your flow. With AutoSkip, old episodes do not pile up unnecessarily.

YOUR FLOW
No endless queues. Your flow shows only what makes sense next, based on Catch Up, Hold, and Latest.

OFFLINE ON THE GO
Automatic downloads, a download manager, and Travel Mode get your podcasts ready for the road.

MOMENTS
Save up to 15 seconds from an episode as an audio snapshot. The related transcript helps you find the idea again later.

CHAPTERS, CARPLAY, AND ACCESSIBILITY
Jump straight to chapters, control podcasts with CarPlay, and use RelayPlay on iPhone and iPad. VoiceOver, large text, and Dark Mode make the app comfortable for more people to use.

RelayPlay stays intentionally clear and lightweight: no overloaded library, no complicated rules — just a faster way to get to the podcast you want to hear next.
