Apple launches a new Podcasts web app: Here’s what you need to know

Apple launches a new Podcasts web app, accessible through major browsers, offering seamless access to your favourite shows across devices.

You can now access Apple Podcasts directly through a new web app at podcasts.apple.com. This web-based version of the popular app is compatible with most major web browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. According to reports from MacRumors, Apple has made it easier to listen to your favourite podcasts on various devices without downloading a specific app.

Familiar features in a new format

If you’re accustomed to using the Podcasts app on your Mac or iOS device, you’ll find the web app quite similar. The layout is straightforward, with several tabs that simplify navigating the platform. You’ll find a Browse tab to explore featured podcasts, a Home tab that displays episodes from the shows you already follow, and a Top Charts tab showcasing trending podcasts. The familiar design makes it easy to jump right into your listening experience, whether on your desktop or another device.

You can sign in using your Apple account when you first visit the site. Once logged in, all the shows you follow on the Podcasts app will automatically appear, ensuring a seamless transition between devices. However, there is one minor downside—you might notice that the web app doesn’t currently offer the ability to adjust playback speed. If you like to listen at double speed, this could be a bit of a letdown. Nevertheless, the web app provides a convenient alternative for accessing your favourite content, especially when away from your primary device.

Expanding Apple’s web app offerings

The launch of the Podcasts web app is the latest in a series of web-based applications Apple has introduced. Just last month, Apple unveiled a web app for Apple Maps, further expanding the accessibility of its services. Additionally, Apple Music and TV already have web apps, offering you even more ways to enjoy Apple’s suite of services without being tied to a specific device or operating system.

With these new web apps, Apple focuses on providing more flexibility and convenience for users. Whether you’re a casual listener or a podcast enthusiast, the new Podcasts web app is a welcome addition, making it easier to enjoy your favourite shows wherever you are.

As Apple continues to enhance its web app offerings, you can expect further improvements and possibly new features in the future. The new Podcasts web app provides a user-friendly and accessible way to listen to podcasts on any device.
