Why Overcast users try PulsarCast
PulsarCast keeps the good podcast-app values: fast playback, clear controls, OPML, downloads and a library that is yours. The difference is the broader device story and the calmer privacy-first positioning.
- Import subscriptions with OPML instead of rebuilding from memory
- Use lists, filters, favorites and archives to shape your library
- Listen on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Android, Android Auto and web
- Keep the core podcast player free, with Ultra as an optional upgrade
- No ads, no third-party trackers, no data selling
The one-week test
Export OPML from your current setup, import it into PulsarCast, then use PulsarCast only for your next seven days of listening. If your queue, downloads and daily shows feel better, the switch has earned itself.
