A fast, private podcast player that gets out of your way. Organize every show, listen anywhere, and pick up exactly where you left off.
Everything you expect from a serious podcast app, without turning listening into admin.
Group shows into colored lists, filter them by duration, age or keywords, pin favorites, archive episodes and choose exactly what appears on your home screen.
Voice Boost evens out volume. Pitch-corrected speed keeps people sounding natural, while Smart Speed trims silence and tracks the time you save.
New episodes download in the background. Listen offline, sync progress and downloads, and automatically clean up finished or older files.
Chapters and links, sleep timer, configurable skip buttons, per-show speed, intro and outro skipping, and a queue you can reorder at any time.
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Android, Android Auto, widgets and the web. Start on one device and continue on another.
Choose which shows can notify you, mute any podcast, or let an Ultra smart list alert you only when a new episode matches your rules.
Light, dark, AMOLED, sepia and Liquid Glass looks, custom accent colors, alternate icons and controls you can hide when you want less.
A substantial update shaped by real listener reports, with smarter tools that stay out of the way until you ask for them.
Ultra can create faster, private transcripts on supported iPhones, on device and with visible progress.
Personal audio added on the web syncs into a dedicated Uploads list and disappears from it when removed.
Automatic and background downloads are more reliable, without reviving old episodes after an update.
Deleting a smart list no longer leaves hidden rules that mark episodes as played or keep work pending.
Resume position, Up Next, lock-screen controls and episode state are more consistent across devices.
Shorter labels, fewer explanations and direct controls make the app quicker to scan and configure.
A new main icon, seven palettes, dark variants and the classic red accent across iOS and Android.
Improved menus, following controls, artwork access, multi-select, reordering and stability throughout.
