About WavCast

WavCast is a free, ad-supported radio and podcast player built for listeners who want it all in one app. Stream thousands of live radio stations, follow your favorite podcasts, catch up on local headlines, and take it with you in the car, on your wrist, and offline. No account required. LIVE RADIO Browse stations by genre, country, or city, with 27 major US metros one tap away. Save favorites, discover top stations from your region, and wake up to any station with the built-in radio alarm. Recently Played logs the songs your stations broadcast, so you can find that track hours later. PODCASTS Search any podcast by name, topic, or host and follow it with a single tap. New episodes flow into your inbox automatically. Build an Up Next queue, let smart playlists organize what's unplayed, in-progress, or downloaded, save episodes for offline listening, sort shows into folders, and bring your library with OPML import and export. CHAPTERS AND TRANSCRIPTS Jump between chapters with full chapter artwork, on the player, the lock screen, and CarPlay. Read along with synced transcripts, tap any line to jump to that moment, and search inside one transcript or across your whole library. ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE Summarize an episode before you commit an hour to it. Generate chapters for shows that don't publish their own. Turn a saved moment into a shareable clip. All of it runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence, so your transcripts never leave the device. Includes a free monthly allowance; WavCast Plus makes it unlimited. Requires a device with Apple Intelligence enabled. WAVCAST PLUS One upgrade, everything on: ad-free listening, unlimited on-device AI, and two features for power listeners. Bring your own audio — import audiobooks, lectures, and recordings as first-class episodes. Per-show sound tunes Voice Boost, Mono-Mix, and an EQ preset for each podcast automatically. Yearly with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Every Plus feature runs on your device: no account, no server, no tracking. BUILT ON PODCASTING 2.0 Support shows directly with funding links and Value4Value, handed off to your own Lightning wallet. See a show's hosts and guests and the podcasts they recommend. Add private, subscriber-only feeds with credentials stored securely in your keychain. CARPLAY A full CarPlay app with your library, new episodes, radio, and recently played, plus Now Playing with chapter artwork. APPLE WATCH A dedicated app on your wrist: Now Playing with artwork and full transport controls, your Up Next queue, favorite stations for one-tap playback, and volume on the Digital Crown. LOCAL NEWS Headlines from your city or region. Tap Detect My City for location-aware coverage, or pick a region manually. DESIGNED FOR LISTENING Background audio, AirPlay, lock-screen and Dynamic Island controls, and a sleep timer. Silence trimming that speeds through dead air — and shows how much time it saved. Voice Boost that evens out quiet and loud talkers. A 10-band equalizer with presets, volume boost, and crossfade. Per-podcast speed and intro/outro skipping. SharePlay, widgets, Siri and Shortcuts, and Spotlight search. PRIVACY FIRST No account required. Your library syncs privately through your own iCloud account. We don't run our own analytics and we don't sell your data. Ads may use your device identifier only if you allow tracking, and you can always decline, or remove ads entirely. PREFER JUST NO ADS? Remove Ads is still here: a single one-time purchase tied to your Apple ID that works across all your devices.

What’s new

Version 1.3.6 · Updated October 26, 2026

WavCast opens with a new animated intro and a new icon. On iPhone Duo, half folded like a book, the right page of Now Playing shows the live transcript of what is being said, with the current line large and bright. Tap any line to jump there. Half folded like a laptop, WavCast keeps your content above the fold, and the player controls and tabs below it, clear of the hinge. Also fixed: - Live radio that ended no longer restarts by itself, and fading out a stream no longer cuts the next episode short. - Skipping while an episode is still loading is ignored instead of jumping to the wrong place. - The sleep timer shows its time left, and keeps it while paused. - Downloads of large episodes finish on slow connections, and the progress bar updates more smoothly. - Your place in an episode reaches iCloud right away when you close the app, so another device picks up where you stopped. - Generated chapters appear in the chapter list as soon as they exist. - The upgrade screen only promises a free trial if you are eligible for one, and otherwise says the plan renews yearly. - News stories with a broken link no longer show up.
