Fast Cast: Podcast Player

Fast Cast is the podcast app built around how speech sounds. Its sound engine keeps voices clear at any speed, its transcripts are made to be read, and it never loses your place. SOUND FIRST • Full Auto listens to each episode and sets the sound for you. • Smart Speed trims the silences so episodes finish sooner without sounding rushed. • Voice Boost brings quiet voices forward so every word carries. • The Sound sheet puts every control in one place: Sound Styles, profiles, and settings for this show or all shows. • Analysis graphs show what you are hearing and what each stage is doing, right now. TRANSCRIPTS YOU CAN READ — FREE • Fast Cast makes its own transcripts on your iPhone. • Live captions follow every word as it is spoken, over the artwork. • The transcript reader lights the current line, keeps chapters inline, searches the whole episode, and a Now pill brings you back to the playhead. SUMMARIES, CHAPTERS AND AD MARKS — FREE • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Fast Cast reads its own transcript and writes a summary, chapters and ad marks, right on your device. Nothing leaves your phone. AUTO AD SKIP (BETA) • Skips the sponsor messages Fast Cast finds in episodes it has transcribed, only when it is very sure. Every skip shows Go Back. Off by default. THE PLAYER • Swipe left from the artwork for About, Chapters, Ads, Transcript, Bookmarks & Clips, Links, Sound, Your listening and Episode facts. Reorder or hide any of them. • Bookmark a moment, clip it, and share it as a card. • A sleep timer that can stop at the end of the chapter. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY • New episodes land in the Inbox. Queue what you want to hear, archive the rest. • Playlists, and smart playlists that build themselves from your rules. • Binge Mode plays a show's back catalog in order, downloads ahead, and tracks your progress. • Downloads for offline listening, with a Library that sorts active shows first. YOUR LISTENING • Stats, streaks and a yearly Wrapped, made from your own listening. • Achievements to earn along the way. • Home Screen widgets for Now Playing, the queue and your stats. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account to create. Fast Cast runs no servers of its own. • Sync and backups use your own iCloud, and only metadata, never audio. FAST CAST U • Lessons inside the app that explain every feature, with Help buttons that open the right one.
