Podash tracks podcast rankings and activity across Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Its charts cover 15 countries and 18 categories, with historical data available for up to 30 days. Users can search for podcasts and view their details, while the app monitors Apple Podcast reviews. Connecting Simplecast and YouTube aggregates download numbers for the last five episodes.
