Just press play and keep going. Prefer to keep up with new shows week to week? Standard mode auto-downloads the newest episodes and cleans up as you go, like a classic podcast app. EVERYONE GETS • Binge mode and standard mode, set per show • Background downloads that continue when the app is closed • A full-screen player with chapters, artwork, and lock-screen controls • OPML import and export, plus podcast search — bring your shows from any app • Playback that remembers exactly where you left off BINGECAST PRO ADDS • Real-time notifications the moment a show you follow posts a new episode • Per-show skip intro/outro — jump past branded intros and end credits automatically • iCloud subscription sync across your devices No ads.
