What's New in YourPods

26.9

October 10, 2026

Make YourPods yours. Rearrange Home, choose your tabs and pick your Quick Actions. Settings → Home Screen reorders or switches off sections, and adds Downloaded, Unplayed, In Progress and one for each podcast group. Settings → Tab Bar reorders tabs and adds Notes, Downloads, History or the Player. Nothing moves until you move it. NEW - Favorites: star any episode. They get their own tab, Home section, Library filter and swipe action - Downloads is a real screen: play from it, and group by podcast, date or size - A play button on every episode row, Up Next in the full player, and Library sorting - Per-podcast episode order, multi-select, and Undo for bulk actions that lasts 30 days - Playback speed per show, with a default for everything else - Audio effects, per show or as your default: Trim Silence, Voice Boost and Normalize Loudness - CarPlay: choose the three controls on Now Playing — speed, chapters, sleep timer, favorite and more. CarPlay is translated into all five languages - Shared clip links play just the clip - A new Playback setting decides how close to the end an episode counts as played - Icons for podcast groups, and on iOS 27 a Glass Style that follows the system setting - With YourPods Pro, your Home, tab bar, favorites and per-show settings sync across devices FIXED - Hiding an episode no longer counts it as played. New subscriptions stop showing hundreds of "played" episodes, and your library is repaired on first launch - Pressing Next near the end marks the episode played — from headphones, CarPlay and the lock screen too - Playback recovers by itself after iOS restarts audio, and a dead stream says so instead of retrying forever - On gPodder, Nextcloud and YourPods Sync, episodes you finish or un-mark elsewhere now show the same here, and finished ones drop out of this device's Up Next - An older position on the server can no longer overwrite newer progress - Pro: podcast groups survive sync, notes no longer duplicate or go missing, and Play Next keeps its place across devices - Removing downloads automatically after a week or a month now works. Nothing is removed retroactively: the clock starts with this update - Failed downloads can be retried, and an error page is no longer saved as the episode - OPML import puts every podcast in its folder - Passwords for protected feeds are no longer sent along when a feed hands its audio to another server - A library that merely can't be opened at launch — phone still locked after a restart, disk full — is no longer reset - CarPlay honours Hide Played and keeps Up Next current - Episode titles no longer show "&" - P3's description now says exactly what it does: remove tracking redirects before playback FASTER - Refresh checks ten feeds at a time and remembers unchanged ones between launches - The Now Playing widget uses far less battery, and its progress bar moves continuously - Home, Up Next and the mini player do far less work while audio plays The first launch after updating converts your library.

Changed to a subscription

Bought this in march. Now it wants a subscription and requires a YP account. I can’t even do „restore purchases“ without a YP account. Homepage still says „Zero subscriptions. Pay once, listen forever.“, which obviously isn’t true.

Response from developer

Hi, There is no subscription required to use the app, see the app screen shots. There is an optional subscription which includes a web player. You are able to fully use the app without any data leaving your device “local profile”, YourPods sync which is freely hosted by us, or gpodder/nextcloud sync which is self-hosted. YourPods Pro is an optional subscription which again includes sync and a web player.

Vielversprechend, viele Features aber noch Work in progress

Podcatcher der vor allem durch die Synchronisation über den offenen Standards heraussticht. Es besteht die Möglichkeit die abonnierte Podcasts, den aktuellen Stand von Wiedergabeliste und jeweils aktuell angehörtem Podcast zu synchronisieren. Verwendet wird dafür ein Protokoll das mit gPodder kompatibel ist. Damit kann man auch mit der eigenen Nextcloud synchronisieren.
Insgesamt sind sehr viele gute Features implementiert.
ABER: leider ist die schicke Oberfläche sehr träge, der zuverlässige Sync langsam und häufig. Abstürze sind leider die Folge. Positiv ist aber auch, dass es eine Watch App gibt die Podcast direkt auf der Uhr speichert und abspielt.
Insgesamt ist die App sehr vielversprechend aber noch Work in Progress.

Response from developer

Danke für das Feedback. 26.9 hat zahlreiche Verbesserungen für gpodder und große Bibliotheken (einschließlich Korrekturen für Watchdog-Abstürze) sowie Verbesserungen der Benutzeroberfläche. Wenn Sie weiterhin Probleme haben, lassen Sie es uns bitte wissen: support@asc.is (übersetzt aus dem Englischen mit KI)

Finally an iOS app with gpodder support!

I am absolutely thrilled that there is finally a great iOS app that supports gpodder synchronization! I used the app during the TestFlight phase, and initially, the gpodder sync wasn't working for me. However, after I submitted my feedback, the developer reacted incredibly fast and fixed the issue right away. Because of this amazing support and how well the app works now, I happily bought the full version.

The previous minor issues I mentioned have been resolved – thank you! For future updates, there is one new feature that would be extremely helpful: It would be great if downloaded episodes from unsubscribed podcasts also showed up in the "Downloaded" section. I frequently listen to single episodes of podcasts I don't subscribe to, and it would be fantastic to have a dedicated place to manage them other than just the queue.

Overall, a fantastic app that fills a huge gap for cross-platform podcast listeners. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the feedback and we’re happy things are working well. We’re enhancing the downloads experience in 26.10, including the unsubscribe bug fix.

Solide

Ansich ein solider Podcast Player, bei dem aber noch essentielle Funktionen fehlen, wie Favoritenmarkierung, Eine Suche nach Folgen und automatische Sortierungsoptionen der abonnoerten Podcasts. Die Performance könnte auch smoother und flotter sein.
Warum ist in der unteren Tableiste eine „Podcast hinzufügen“ Option, wenn es schon auf der Startseite möglich ist? Somit könnte man die Tableiste entschlanken. Da ist auf jeden Fall noch viel Luft nach oben.

Finally they fixed the app!

Disregard my old review as with the new update it actually works like a charm. I don’t have to keep refreshing to get an episode to play again after having paused it!
