Bingecast is the podcast player built for bingeing old shows and stories. Found an old show and want to start from the beginning? Pick any episode and turn on binge mode. Bingecast keeps the next few episodes downloaded and ready, deletes each one as you finish it, and pulls in the next automatically. No manual queue-wrangling, no storage bloat. 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. No tracking. No account required. Your listening never leaves your device, and diagnostic collection is off by default.
