- 📦The Podcast App updated to version 3.0.641What's new in this update
• Transcripts open right away: a draft shows first, and the tidied version takes its place as soon as it's ready.
• Chapters from show notes: timestamps written in the episode notes become chapters you can tap.
• Long episode notes start collapsed, with Show more at the end.
• Library: episode lists that stopped updating now repair themselves, and wrong release dates are corrected on refresh.
• Playback: starts that used to get stuck now recover on their own, and one tap starts playback exactly once.
• Streamed episodes get their ad-skip marker for the opening ad from 0:00.
• Podcast creators can opt out of transcripts and AI features, plus stability fixes throughout.
• A faster, sturdier library: your podcasts, history and settings move to a new storage engine automatically the first time you open the app.
• Chapters and skip markers show up sooner while you listen, even with notifications turned off.
• Episode summaries: summaries now work for downloaded episodes, and a summary that's still being written no longer shows as failed.
• Playback: resuming from CarPlay or the lock screen no longer jumps back to an old position, and tapping a timestamp on another episode's page no longer moves the episode that's playing.
• Apple Watch and CarPlay: your watch stops when your iPhone starts playing, and CarPlay's Recently Played now matches your History.
• Episode Chat and Brain polish, plus stability fixes.… more - 📈The Podcast App entered the top 100Top Free · News · AE

The Podcast App downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
