Spacecast vs Cadence

This little podcast app looks and feels simple. Yet is sophisticated where it matters. For example, Spacecast automatically detects and skips sponsored sections in episodes, so you can listen without interruptions. Your home screen? Always clean, always AI-free. Just your podcast feed, in pure chronological order. That means you’ll never miss an episode — or feel overwhelmed trying to catch up. Give it a spin. I think you'll love it. I hope it brings you as much joy as I had building it. - Robin. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Cadence is a podcast player that works the way you actually listen. Browse the top charts and directory you know, then take control with filters no stock app gives you. FILTER EVERY EPISODE LIST Only have 20 minutes? Filter any show — or your whole library feed — by episode length (under 15 min, 15–30, 30–60, over an hour), by date (past week to past year), and sort newest, oldest, shortest, or longest. A text filter narrows things down further. BROWSE BY POPULARITY Top 50 charts, overall or per genre — Comedy, News, True Crime, Business, Technology, Sports, and more — with each show's rank right there. UP NEXT QUEUE "Play Next" or "Add to Queue" from any episode. Episodes auto-advance, the queue is reorderable, and it survives restarts. SAVE + DOWNLOAD Bookmark episodes to a Saved list, and download episodes for true offline listening — two separate library sections, both filterable. A PLAYER THAT KEEPS UP Background audio with lock-screen controls, scrubbing, custom skip intervals, and playback speed from 0.75× to 3×. MAKE IT YOURS Eight accent themes, light/dark/system appearance, compact or comfortable episode rows, summaries on or off, and your own default sort order. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Cadence talks only to Apple's public podcast directory and to each show's own public RSS feed and audio host. Your subscriptions, queue, and downloads never leave your device.
