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 watch, 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. Shows that publish video in their feed play with the picture, in the background, and in picture-in-picture. 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. Search inside a show, pick a season, and see each episode's season and number.

CHAPTERS AND TRANSCRIPTS
Jump between chapters with full chapter artwork, on the player, the lock screen, and Android Auto. Read along with synced transcripts, tap any line to jump to that moment, and search inside one transcript or across your whole library. Transcripts are generated on your device with Android speech recognition.

ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE
Summarize an episode before you commit an hour to it. Turn a saved moment into a shareable clip with a written blurb. Get a short briefing written from today's headlines for your city. All of it runs on your phone with Google's on-device models, so nothing is uploaded. Includes a free monthly allowance; WavCast Plus makes it unlimited. Requires a phone that supports on-device AI.

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. No account, no tracking, no WavCast server.

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 on your device.

DESIGNED FOR LISTENING
Background audio, Google Cast, lock-screen and notification 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. Home screen widgets, Assistant shortcuts, and Undo for the taps you didn't mean.
