Podcast Republic

What Podcast Republic is

Podcast Republic is a customizable app for managing podcasts, online radio, audiobooks, and RSS news and blog feeds. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and the maker says all app features are available free. Listeners can browse top charts, search podcast names, or add feeds by URL. Downloads can run automatically in the background and be configured per podcast; Smart download fetches newer unplayed episodes for offline listening. Playback features include seven modes, a sleep timer, audio boost, alarm scheduling, Chromecast support, and Smart rewind. Users can create multiple playlists, and the Up Next queue changes as playlists change. Signing in with a Podcast Republic or Google account enables syncing subscriptions, playback state, favorites, and other app data across devices. The maker says downloaded files are excluded from app data backups, so they must be transferred separately between devices. The maker is based in Diamond Bar, California. Its privacy information says account email is optional and is used for login, password resets, replies to initiated emails, and requested notifications; it also says promotional emails are not sent. The maker stores podcast, radio, episode, and listening progress data for syncing and uses anonymous popularity statistics for recommendations. Information may be processed or stored outside the user's country or jurisdiction, including outside the European Union.
