Smartphone apps for podcasts… easy & effective
The Libsyn custom smartphone app for podcasters engages audiences beyond your regular audio or video episodes. With four different kinds of content accepted by the app (audio, video, PDF and text) you can offer your audience extras, blog posts, transcripts and more all in one place. The apps make it easy for users to share their favorite episodes on popular social media outlets and star and download episodes for offline entertainment.
All $20/month+ plans include the option to offer a paid app for Android and inclusion in the iOS Podcast Box. Check out our plans to sign up for the option that’s right for you.
