Podsquirrl
The newest episodes of every show you follow, squirrelled away on Wi-Fi and ready to play offline.
Free · No account · No ads or tracking
Podsquirrl checks the podcasts you follow once a day and, while you are on Wi-Fi, downloads the newest three episodes of each. Older auto-downloads are tidied away, so your phone never fills up and there is always something to listen to on the train, on a plane or in a field.
Podcast artwork and episodes belong to their creators. Podsquirrl finds shows through Apple’s public podcast directory and plays them straight from each podcast’s own host.
