The cloud-first podcast discovery app that "makes podcasts look cool again" according to GigaOM. Explore over 300 hand-picked mix-channels on specific topics (e.g. Cinema, Gadgets, Baseball, Learn English) or search by title if you know it. Play your discoveries right now or hit Play Later to store interesting episodes offline (like Pocket for podcasts). Your subscriptions sync across devices - no need to re-add them for each device, and great peace of mind for anyone who's ever left their phone in the back of a taxi (just saying).
Our servers track and mix your latest shows, saving you bandwidth and battery life, and letting you sync in seconds instead of minutes. Offline access is child's play too, thanks to our flexible Auto-Downloads feature. Oh, and it's free.

Features:

• Stream or sync...your choice. It's simple to stream endlessly from online sources just like a radio (think Pandora or Stitcher), and we support syncing so you can play offline, anytime, with plenty of options (download limits, wifi-only, custom folder, etc). Playing is a breeze too - view progress of each show, resume where you left off, and hide completed episodes.

• Polished interface optimised for tablets as well as phones lets you swipe through shows like a magazine. And also a full-featured web app at http://player.fm. Search, browse, play, and manage your subscriptions from any browser

• Search over 20,000 series/feeds and add more by URL. OPML works too, so you can import your subscriptions from iTunes, IPP Podcast Player, PocketCasts, etc. It works the other way too - you can easily exported to OPML - no lock in here!
