See What Other Podcast Creators Are Saying
I wanted to create an app that would collect tons of details relevant to our niche in one place … and Shoutem was the solution. Using RSS feeds, our app brings in our own podcasts plus hand-picked news sources like articles, image galleries, and videos. While I focus on my podcasts, my app handles the rest, creating a space for followers to find the most up-to-date info on this topic.
I’m pretty good with technology, but I’ve never built an app before. Still, Shoutem’s podcast app template was both simple and intuitive. Even without any prior app development experience, I created a fully functional app for our podcast in no time. Shoutem Builder’s user-friendly interface and clear instructions made the whole process surprisingly easy.
Our Shoutem app has really taken our content strategy up a notch. We used to just publish everything whenever it was done. Now we categorize content and schedule publish dates to keep our calendar full and consistent. We’ve even started monetizing, with content types only available to paid subscribers. Shoutem makes it really easy to reward our most loyal listeners.
Access to Features Used in the Best Podcast Apps
Shoutem apps offer the same features and functionalities seen in the most popular podcast apps on the market. Use any or all of the following features when creating your new podcast app.
Podcast RSS
Set up an RSS feed for your users’ favorite podcasts. Then, build a podcast directory so they can view, navigate to, and stream podcasts any time of the day or night.
Audio Player
The most critical element of a podcast app, our Audio Player allows users play, pause, and even select streaming sound quality; a helpful feature for those on slower connections.
Background Play
Multitaskers who navigate away from your app rely on background play, allowing them to continue listening to your podcasts while they browse social media or search the web.
Anchor & Co-Host Schedule
Use the Calendar screen to showcase a podcast schedule, allowing users to listen live to their favorite anchors, hosts, and co-hosts, or to preview upcoming podcast episodes.
Radio Listening
Whether you’ve developed a radio station of your own or you just want to stream existing stations, add Radio+ to your Shoutem app to provide high-quality access to any radio station on the airwaves.
Related News
News RSS allows you to auto-publish articles and news items from your website directly to your app. It’s also the perfect solution to help your followers find other experts and bloggers in your niche.
