What Podcat is

Podcat is an iOS podcast client for listening to and organizing subscriptions on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Listeners can browse Apple’s podcast directory or search Fyyd, then arrange subscriptions into groups. Automatic groups can filter by listened status, audio or video type and text searches. The player offers shuffle, continuous playlist playback, pause-after-episode and a sleep timer. Chapter markers show episode information and let listeners jump to topics. Podcat supports offline downloads, video podcasts, private feeds and cross-device sync; video playback can continue while the device is locked. Episodes can be shared, marked as favorites, saved to Pocket or placed in Dropbox. Statistics cover release timing, episode lengths and listening times. The maker says iPhone and iPad support starts at iOS 9 or newer. The US App Store lists a free app with optional in-app purchases, English and German languages, and Jeanette Mueller as developer and seller.
