With a completely new interface, it has been designed to make listening and discovering podcasts easier for iVoox’s more than 5 million users.
The iVoox application was a pioneer in 2009, and during this time it has become a benchmark with the largest audio offer in Spanish. It has more than 420,000 podcasts in Spanish, audiobooks and radio stations on any topic.
It also has the largest catalog of exclusive and free podcasts in Spanish, with more than 200 podcasts. In addition, with its iVoox Plus subscription service, listeners can enjoy more than 700,000 exclusive paid episodes of podcasts and audiobooks.
The leading platform for podcasts in Spanish, iVoox, has launched its new application for iOS on the App Store, with a totally renewed design following current trends, and which presents improvements in usability, new features to make it more accessible, as well as a dark theme for better visibility.
With its new interface, the podcast app for iOS has been redesigned to make listening and discovering podcasts easier for listeners. One of the big new features is the easier management of the play queue that includes native iOS features such as Long-press and swipes to perform actions quickly.
New podcast discovery and accessibility improvements
In addition to these improvements, there is a search system, which includes tags to filter the results that reorganize their presentation in a more accessible way in the thematic cards. Also, it incorporates a new related tab to the podcast screen, where listeners can find other shows and playlists from the creators, as well as other similar podcasts.
The home page also features changes aimed at facilitating the discovery of new content, with larger personalized recommendation covers and direct access to the explore section, which offers thousands of episodes, podcasts, audiobooks and radios on any topic.
The company works to incorporate a greater depth of thematic exploration that facilitates the discovery of collections curated by its editorial experts. Also, for listeners with limited time, the new “Surprise me” button allows them to instantly receive episode suggestions based on their interests and listening times.
The new app also facilitates access to the listener’s content and, with the new Library section, puts their favorite content always at their fingertips. In the Library, they will find their podcasts, lists, downloads and other content in one place. Visually, the platform has a more elegant, minimalist and efficient design, with a dark mode that improves visibility and battery consumption.
As in previous versions, the app is still compatible with CarPlay, and its new version renews the car mode for safer driving. Likewise, iVoox is working on its adaptation for Apple Watch, which will allow listening to all its podcast, radios, and audiobooks without the need to carry your cell phone with you.
iVoox will continue to add features through these continuous improvement processes to enrich the experience of its listeners and facilitate the expansion of the podcast to new audiences.
Apple has probably empowered the medium of podcasting more than any other company. The Cupertino-based technology giant gave podcasting its first big boost when it added podcasts to the iTunes desktop application in 2005. Thanks to the popularity of Apple’s breakthrough portable media player, the iPod, iTunes had become a ubiquitous destination for consumers looking to easily acquire new audio. And when those users suddenly found a podcasting directory chock full of free content next to their favorite music store, they began consuming podcasts in droves.
It seems like a given that the iTunes desktop application and/or Apple’s Podcasts app for iOS are the default programs most people use to listen to podcasts. And while that may be true, a number of third-party developers have come up thru the years to challenge Apple’s grip on the podcast consumption market. Many of these non-Apple apps are designed to work on one platform. For example, Overcast is only available on iOS. Downcast is a little better, being available on both iOS and MacOS. With the 
We live in an ever-increasing world of “unlimited” services. But one place that utopian vision of “everything all the time forever” doesn’t really apply is podcast media hosting. That’s why it can be useful to know how big your media files will be before publishing them to the web. But the only method that’s usually available to determine file size is to simply encode a file and check its properties. That process works but it’s far from efficient.

This week, Apple unleashed iOS 9, the latest version of the operating system that runs all of the company’s iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, onto the general public. After applying the latest iOS update and rebooting their devices, many users came to find that Podcasts, Apple’s proprietary podcast app for iOS, was no longer working.
