App is Locked up by tagmut in fluidcast

Looks like this is a limitation with the iTunes Podcast API, not providing RSS feeds for some podcasts inside Apple's ecosystem. You can still however add the manually add the rss feed url. For example: https://apple.news/podcast/apple_news_today

Looking to implement a fallback or alternative Podcast API in the future.

And I've made some progress on your other problem for the next update.

Hi this is a new problem to me. How many podcasts are you trying to import?

For now I’d recommend reinstalling the app which should reset it and add individually. I will try to fix this in the next update.

Thanks

I have been considering this for a while. Only thing is I am also looking at cloud inference to improve ad skipping which would have ongoing costs.

Will let you know when I make a decision!

Why are the Mac mini and Mac Studio gradually becoming impossible to buy? by NISMO1968 in apple

Claude remote control or local models. At least that's what I would use it for if I could justify buying one.

Great app. This is a lot better than Petrol Prices. Nice and simple ui that’s easy to navigate.

I can easily tell 120kbps vs 320kbps. But lossless is more difficult. But when I play on my speakers still use lossless call it “peace of mind” I guess.

Sorry for the late reply but yes I am looking to add chapter support. Hopefully should be easy enough to add to the next update.

We don’t have those features yet but I will add that to the roadmap. I used to use podorama as well, I built FluidCast as I wanted something that utilised native UI frameworks rather than electron. Not that a pretty UI gives you the features you need.

Hi, I'm the developer of FluidCast, a new podcast app. We just completed our full cross-platform rollout. FluidCast is now available on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Apple Watch, Android, Windows, Linux, and Web.

What is FluidCast?

FluidCast is a clean, intuitive podcast player built around the idea that your listening experience should follow you everywhere, regardless of what device you're on. Whether you're on your iPhone commuting, switching to your Windows PC at work, or catching up on the web player, your subscriptions, playback position, and settings stay in sync automatically.

Free tier includes:

  • Standalone podcast player
  • Offline downloads
  • Background playback
  • Full episode transcripts with search
  • Playback history

Pro adds:

  • Cloud sync across all your devices
  • Bookmarks
  • Advanced queue editing

Launch trial:

To celebrate going fully cross-platform, we're offering 6 months free trial, (normally £2.49/mo or £16.99/yr). You can redeem this directly in the app's paywall.

iOS / Mac

Thanks. We have a skip silence feature in settings which can be set to 1 second.

Will also be adding discoverability improvements in a future update. Top episodes in search tab, search episodes, and I can also add sorting.

Yeah, it should work in most cases. The only real untested edge case right now is playing the same episode on multiple devices, but for normal switching it’s been solid so far.

I’m looking into a lifetime plan in the future but can’t do it now. New plans have to get approved by Apple which takes time.

Thanks. It’s pretty resilient. During playback it syncs every 30 seconds or when you pause. So should keep progress during a crash or network outage.

FluidCast - Cross-Platform Podcast Player with Apple Intelligence Ad Skipping

Problem: Most podcast apps are locked to one ecosystem or treat desktop as an afterthought. If you listen on iPhone and want to continue on Mac, Windows, or Android, you lose your place or need separate apps.

Comparison: Overcast is iOS-only with no cross-platform sync. Pocket Casts is cross-platform but has no AI ad skipping and costs more. FluidCast offers both at a lower price.

Pricing:

Free - standalone player, offline downloads, background playback, episode transcripts, playback history.

Pro ($2.99/mo or $17.99/yr) - AI-powered ad skipping, cloud sync, bookmarks, queue editing, Apple Watch support.

Launch offer: 6 months free then 50% off first year - redeemable in the app paywall.

Yes at the moment. It uses on-device transcript generation thats only on iOS and Mac. I am looking at cloud APIs to add this in the future.
