Podl is a podcast player for listening across iPhone and selected watches. Core listening and episode downloads are free. Podl Plus adds Apple Watch and compatible Garmin playback, cross-device synchronization, Podmarks for saved moments, podcast folders, and cloud backup. Plus is offered monthly or annually with a 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers; the current price appears before purchase. The app also includes playlists, playback speed controls, a sleep timer, CarPlay, and listening statistics. A watch-based workflow depends on compatible hardware and downloaded episodes. Podl helps organize and play podcasts but does not create them, so users still need to follow shows and check whether feeds remain available.
