FluidCast
FluidCast is a podcast player for listening across devices, with search for podcasts and episodes, curated categories, and cross-device sync on Pro. Playback controls include variable speed, silence skipping, a sleep timer, and chapter support. Listeners can read, search, and navigate full episode transcripts. Voice Lift boosts quieter voices, and the app can play audio files stored on a device without streaming. The Free plan includes offline downloads, background playback, playback history, transcripts, Voice Lift, local file playback, and CarPlay and Android Auto support. Pro adds cloud sync for subscriptions, playback position, and settings, plus queue editing, bookmarks, podcast folders, and Apple Watch support. Its on-device AI ad skipping may be inaccurate and use more battery; on iOS it requires Apple Intelligence on iOS 26 or later. FluidCast is listed for web, iOS, macOS, Android, Windows, and Linux. Pro Monthly is £2.49 per month with a one-month free trial; Lifetime is listed at £89.99 per month.
