YourPods: Podcast Player

YourPods now speaks your language. German, Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch. The app follows whatever language your device is set to, and you can change it any time in Settings. Every screen is translated — including everything VoiceOver reads aloud and everything Siri says back to you. Dates, durations, speeds and percentages follow your own locale's formatting. The translations are AI-made, and the app says so. The first time YourPods appears in a language new to you, a sheet explains that we use AI to translate from English, that some wording might be a bit off, and how to report anything that reads wrong. The same explanation lives permanently in Settings. NEW - Chapter artwork, and chapters read straight out of the audio file — including files other players show no chapters for - Notes: annotate episodes while you listen, and export to Markdown, Obsidian or Nextcloud - A full Shortcuts catalogue for automations and Siri - Apple Watch: a real player, with the system Now Playing page, speed control, sleep timer and custom skip intervals - Library episode lens: browse every subscription as one flat, filterable episode list - Home Screen playback widget, and AirPlay and Bluetooth output picking from the mini player - When two devices disagree about where you are in an episode, YourPods asks — and you can make your answer the default from the sheet itself - Hide and unhide episodes from anywhere, hide by duration, and hide old episodes when you subscribe - Group your podcasts, and give a group priority in Up Next - Export My Data - Liquid Glass design on iOS 26, with four styles to choose from - Transcript search, episode search, and Nextcloud Login Flow v2 sign-in with 2FA and SSO - YourPods Pro is now available as an in-app subscription. It stays optional — every player feature is included in the app you already bought FIXED - Played state, position and Up Next now agree across your devices: an episode you started on the web picks up on your phone, un-marking one as played sticks, and one you finished on the web stops lingering in the mini player - An episode you paused part-way through is no longer marked played by a background sync, and skipping no longer marks the episode you skipped - Tapping a different episode no longer deletes the one you were listening to from Up Next - "Sync Now" now syncs everything — it was only ever syncing two of the seven things - Feeds update reliably on sync, pull-to-refresh and background refresh - The Apple Watch app's core loops work: library browsing, background refresh, mark as played, and the complication - Home Screen widget buttons control playback instead of opening the app, and the widget shows artwork again - Playback no longer stops silently on auto-advance, and the lock screen, Dynamic Island and CarPlay artwork change with it - Notes reach the web, and deleting one propagates - Fixed the crashes and background kills behind lost sync — corrupt database recovery, suspension kills and watchdog timeouts - Fixed the app quitting when you tapped Restore Purchases or Subscribe FASTER - Much less radio and battery use on Apple Watch during playback - RSS refresh skips unchanged feeds, and independent sync steps run in parallel YourPods now requires iOS 18.
