Howdy! ’sodes is a casual, cozy way to listen to the occasional podcast. There are no download queues or tricked-out audio features. Just tap a show, tap an episode, and listen.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

● Don’t-have-to-think-about-it visual design. – Made for folks who want podcast listening to be a casual habit.

● No account required. – Everything happens right on your device.

● No downloads to manage*. – Tap an episode and it starts playing.

● Convenient home screen. – The “home” screen of the app has convenient access to your most favorite shows, in-progress episodes, and a few of the most recent unplayed episodes.

● Multiple color themes. – Switch from the Light to the Dark theme with a two finger swipe, like flicking off a light switch. Do it again to switch to the Campfire theme for ultra-low-light goodness (useful for moms ’n dads up at 3am rocking babies to sleep).

● Big, tappable buttons. – The player screen has extra large buttons with ample spacing. This should help anyone who has trouble tapping the right button in a hurry (walking, jogging, cooking, etc).

● Works with CarPlay. – Keep your eyes on the road while you listen to your favorite shows. Stay safe out there, folks.

● Drop the needle using Siri Shorcuts. – Play a specific podcast, or just play whatever's the most appropriate next thing to hear, by using a Siri Shortcut. Requires iOS 12.

● Keep Screen Unlocked – A special feature for commuters who can't use CarPlay: if you keep your phone plugged into a dashboard mount on long road trips, and you don’t have or can’t use Bluetooth controls, try enabling the “Keep Screen Unlocked” option in settings. This keeps your screen unlocked as long ’sodes is open AND it is playing (not paused) AND the device is connected to a charger. Why? Because then you can quickly pause or skip without fumbling to unlock your phone.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

* ’sodes requires an internet connection in order to play audio. Once you start playing an episode, only the portions of audio data requested by the system will be downloaded. This data is stored temporarily on disk in order to limit network data usage and does not provide offline playback. Audio data is stashed in a directory that doesn't count against your iPhone’s local storage and which your iPhone manages for you automatically. ’sodes also periodically removes old audio data so the system doesn't have to.

’sodes App Comments & Reviews

’sodes Positive Reviews

Lots of PotentialI love this app and it’s minimalistic design. It’s straight forward and super easy to understand. I would love to see this app get the love it deserves. The app just needs a bit fleshing out as it feels very bare bones. I get the app is supposed to be simple which is a good thing but a few more features would be nice to see. Also just a personal preference I would like to see the App logo change to something cleaner rather than the bright and colorful purple/pink one. Changeable app icons would be a nice touch. Otherwise if you want a simple, clutter free podcast app that is well designed, this is for you. And to the developers: Please don’t give up on the app and keep updating it. There’s lots of potential here and it would be a shame to let it go to waste. Much love.Version: 1.4.2

Beautiful design, but somewhat limitedI love the way ’sodes looks! It’s a fresh take on a podcast app. That being said, I feel it is missing some key features. While I understand the intent is simplicity, just a few missing features will make this a great podcast app. Would like to see the ability to download episodes for offline listening. Since podcasts can be long (and therefore streaming will use a lot of data), I feel this is a key feature that this app is lacking. Additionally, an auto-download of new episodes would be great. Also, would be useful to be able to mark all episodes as Finished. I’ve got a podcast with well over a thousand episodes that I’d like to remove from the Unplayed list. Hoping to see this app evolve into a great alternative to other more established apps!.Version: 1.0.1

Excellent app thats well designedI love the sleek minimalist design and simplicity of this app. Its perfect for the casual podcaster. Everything just works well. The cherry on the top are the dark and campfire themes. I tend to listen before i sleep, so this feature really helps with eyestrain. Lastly i would like to implore the developer to keep the optional download feature. It’s a super helpful feature for traveling. No matter if it be on the road or in a plane, nobody wants their podcast interrupted because of buffering. Otherwise, just end up having to download a different app on the side for when reception wont be good..Version: 1.2.1

App is great - feature requestReally great app. Great design and aesthetic. It is very easy to search podcasts and play episodes for a la carte listening. I enjoy being able to listen without the need of making a playlist or queue (these are features of almost every other app, and get in The way for me). Feature request: I would really enjoy the ability to download 1-5 episodes for offline listening. Not being able to download prevents me from being able to use this app in any situation where I can’t stream well. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.1

Simple!Great if you are new to Podcasts, or if you just got overwhelmed with managing your complex podcast app, between your playlist, sleep timers, downloads, auto refreshing, iCloud syncing ect. It’s so nice to just… Play a podcast. (I do miss sleep timers a bit though). I feel like it is one of those good iOS apps from the old days before the App Store got filled with the yearly subscription junk. Before even the in app purchase years. Before even the paid app purchase years. A true free app..Version: 1.4.2

BeautifulI gotta tell you...I’m in love with this app. Does it do everything? No, but it makes that clear right up front. If you want an app with every pref imaginable, look at Downcast. Or actually, don’t. Because Downcast is horrific to look at. Powerful, sure. But ugly. ‘Sodes, on the other hand, just is gorgeous. Easy on the eyes, easy on the device...just great. Sure, I can think of things I’d love to see it do. But none of that takes away from the sheer joy of it..Version: 1.2.1

Awesomely simple podcast playerI love how simple and intuitive the app is to use. And not having to worry about my podcasts eating a bunch of valuable space on my phone is great. One feature request would be to be able to mark all episodes of a given podcast as finished. I’d rather not see a bunch of back-episodes pop up in the “unplayed” section even though I played them in another app..Version: 1.0.2

Overall good but has issuesOverall this is a really clean app. Love that you can change to a dark mode. Literally my only issue is that their a playback issues with random episodes of random podcasts. Contacted the developer and he said was aware of it but unsure what was causing. It continues to happen every so often. I’ll stick it out for awhile but I hope there is a fix near..Version: 1.0.2

Great Podcast App! There are no buts...I really enjoy this podcast app. The UI is great. The app is designed to “stream” podcasts, not download which is fine. If you want to download podcasts this app will not work for you, however, if you just want to be able to listen to podcast on the go without having to worry about downloading them then this app will work great for you! Awesome work on this app!.Version: 1.0.2

Such a great podcastThis is my favorite podcast. I just wish the developer would update it more often. It’s been more than two years since the last update. I wish we could at least get an update to incorporate the new iPhone Dynamic Island properly. The UI currently does not. I don’t want to switch podcasts because of this. :(.Version: 1.4.2

One feature will solve all problems I have.Just add an account option to sync podcasts between devices and I will be totally immersed with your app. The interface is amazing, and I love it overall. But i can’t sync my podcasts across devices or even if I accidentally delete the app (it happens!). Please add an account option, it will allow me to rest a lot easier with your app..Version: 1.3

A Minimalist podcast appThere are tons of podcast app with handful of features that might not be handy for ordinary listeners. But unlike them 'Sodes provides essential elements of a decent podcast app. The only feature I wish to see in future updates is to see other related podcast stations to my library. Some kind of new suggestions for discovering new stations out there in podcasts jungle..Version: 1.4.1

There's promise here... butThis might be the best looking podcast app on iOS. Unfortunately, it's assistant and mostly featureless. No queue. No individual controls per podcast. You can't see how long each episode is. No ability to control notifications or how many episodes are downloaded or kept. There's a lot of promise here, but frankly, I doubt I'll ever listen to an actual podcast with the $3 app I just bought. I'm very much looking forward to updating this review!.Version: 1.0.1

Very good!This app has a very nice elegant interface. It imported my podcasts well, although it took 2 tries, because the app crashed. But otherwise it worked. Please make the download ability a permanent part of the app, rather than just experimental, not everybody has huge amounts of data to stream with. Like the large crisp fonts too. No squinting at tiny text. All in all an A for effort!.Version: 1.2.1

DOWNLOAD OPTIONI love the app because it’s hands down one of the most well designed podcast apps out there. But one big issue is that there’s no option to download episodes/auto-download when connected to WiFi. Add this feature (and auto delete once listened), it will be 5/5 best podcast app..Version: 1.0.1

This is it, the best podcast appI listen to a lot of podcasts. All other podcast apps (Apple’s and third party apps) are clunky or poorly thought in a number of different ways but this app is flawless. Nothing you don’t need in a podcast app which keeps the interface very focused and straightforward. Extremely recommended..Version: 1.0.1

Looks beautiful, just missing one thing.This is a beautiful looking app, which is why it hurts me so much that I can’t make it my go to podcast app. I would’ve missed the offline feature but the thing that kills me the most is after adding a podcast to my favorites there is a “mark all as finished” button. I really hope this feature gets added in a future update cause I’d love to use this gorgeous app..Version: 1.0.2

Great appI love the layout and the simplicity! I like how it defaults to streaming, but I would love a way to download apps for offline listening. I realize the idea of the app is so you don’t have to download podcasts, but I feel it’s a necessary feature in a podcast app. Keep up the great work! I’ll continue supporting this app, it’s great!.Version: 1.0.2

Simple is BrilliantStill one of the best podcast experiences available for any platform. It is a perfect “no fluff” podcast experience. No ads, no trending pages, no account or profile tab. Just podcast feeds and it stays out of your way..Version: 1.4.1

So GoodGreat app. Love the simplicity, user interface and appearance of it... If it had the option of push notifications for when new shows were available would be even better. Keep up the good work👌.Version: 1.3.1

✅💯👌 I went looking for a simple podcast app; I found one.I went looking for a simple podcast player, and this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for! Love the big, simple UI. Has exactly what I need: subscribe, list, play! I love that the settings are _in_ settings. Thank you!.Version: 1.3

Easy, beautiful designFor the casual podcast listener like me, this is the perfect app. I love being able to tune into the podcasts I like and just select an episode and go. No inbox, no queue, just click and go. This was such an easy setup and it looks beautiful. Stellar job to the developers..Version: 1.0.1

WowThis app is awesome!!! The design is so so easy to use. You should win an award. Please keep the download option. I need it for flights and when I’m out of range. And add an indicator -like a little D or something so that I know which ones I’ve downloaded already. Then It will be perfect! Brilliantly perfect..Version: 1.3

I love the layout but crashes a lotIdk if this is due to the phone I am using or if it's the app but for some reason it just keeps on crashing Update my phone wasn't up to date and now the app is perfect.Version: 1.2.1

AlmostThe simplicity is what I’m looking for, I just wish there was a way to read the entire description for each podcast episode. The descriptions it gives are always truncated and essentially worthless.Version: 1.2

Stop looking and start listeningIf you’re not into podcasts the way your friends are into podcasts, but still want good playback functionality behind a great design, this is it..Version: 1.2.1

My new favorite appThank you for making this podcast app. It is exactly what I have been looking for. So far, I am likening all the features and clean simple interface..Version: 1.4.1

Episode SortingI would love the option to sort podcasts by newer and older episodes. Especially if I’m starting a story-based podcast that requires me to start from the beginning, having to scroll down every single time becomes annoying. But overall great app..Version: 1.2.1

Beautiful UI, but that’s it.I understand that it’s geared towards the consumer that just listens casually to a podcast now and then. But if you guys would add notifications and offline listening, I think you could reach a broader audience (and make me happy, too). Huge fan of the app, and I hope these feature will come soon..Version: 1.0.2

My new favorite podcast appReminds me of Castro 1 in regards to simplicity and I liked much better than Castro 2, best of all this app does not require a subscription which I hate apps that require one. Super easy to use!.Version: 1.2

CarPlay support please!Would love if this had CarPlay support..Version: 1.0.2

Fantastic appLarge buttons combined with the Keep Screen Unlocked setting make this app perfect for listening to podcasts while driving..Version: 1.0.1

Love!Finally an app that’s not overly complicated to use. It’s very simple find your favorite podcast with larger images and texts so it’s very easy to read. Thank You 👍.Version: 1.3.1

Missed the “night candle” themeGod, really loved that bizarre looking theme. And the feel of manually switching themes was just amazing. Still a very nice, simple podcast app nonetheless..Version: 1.4.1

Love Minimalist DesignI love the minimalist design and ease of use. Two request for updates users would welcome. Notification of new episodes via badges, etc... and iPad support. Thx.Version: 1.0.2

SimpleThanks for creating a podcast app that doesn’t feel like a chore to use..Version: 1.3

Great UI and UX however....The UI and the UX of the Application is off the charts! The design is amazing and so is the experience. However, the app constantly crashes and it is upset annoying. Please fix this bug!!.Version: 1.2.1

Like it a lotBut a lot of podcasts have been hanging after 30 sec with playback errors... Nytime daily and several slate podcasts in particular. Please fix soon!.Version: 1.0.2

Best iOS Podcast AppFor me, This is the best iOS podcast app. First of all, it has three themes: white, dark and campfire. Then, the app is so simple: you just search for a podcast, maybe add it to favourites, browse the episodes, download for later or start listening now, no account required. (plus I love the simple listening interface, the clock showing the time listened and when clicked the time left, and customizable time skips) Thanks to developers for making this app completely free with no ads, premium subscriptions or pro versions. I read some reviews from several month ago from people that were asking for features like downloads or mark all finished, and these features exist in the app today, so developers are, in fact, reading to our requests. I tried out every other iOS podcast app, and they either have subscriptions or payments for basic features, downloads or ad-free experience or are paid to download. Apple podcasts was fine for free at first, but it was behaving weird and sometimes did things I didn't want it to do and stressed me out. 'Sodes is an amazing app for podcast listening, and I already made 2 of my podcast-loving to switch to this from Apple Podcasts (and they love it). Best of luck and I hope you keep the app free and full of features (btw I saw "experimental" in settings above downloads, please don't remove that feature, it is very important to be able to stream on road without burning a lot of cellular data) Just two feature requests from me. First, I would love to have an ability to create an account in the app or sync to iCloud in order to save the progress on my podcasts. The more I listen, the more I become worried about what will happen with my progress when I delete the app. It would be a very handy feature. The second request is to be able to get notified when a new episode of a selected/favourite show comes out. Not necessary, but would be favourable and could come in handy..Version: 1.2.1

Playback error please help!I love this app but I'm not able to locate to one of my favorite podcasts! It keeps showing a playback error. I've tried closing and reopening the app. Please help meee.Version: 1.0.2

Great minimalist podcast appGreat app! Can we get a Home Screen widget?.Version: 1.4

Need ChromecastBeautiful app but I need chromecast functionality. So I’ll come back when that’s added..Version: 1.1
