FlixCast

FlixCast is a podcast player for Windows and iPhone, with a particular focus on good keyboard and screen-reader accessibility. Its Apple Watch companion puts playback and the queue on your wrist while the iPhone handles playback itself.

What FlixCast can do

Accessible controls: The Windows app is designed throughout for keyboard and screen-reader use and tested with NVDA; the iPhone and Apple Watch apps are tested with VoiceOver.
Organize podcasts: Subscriptions, an inbox, and a freely ordered queue keep new episodes separate from those you have chosen to play.
Listen your way: Playback speed, intro and outro skipping, chapters, transcripts, and a sleep timer are built into the player.
Listen offline: Episodes can be downloaded, with per-podcast rules for automatically retaining or removing them.
Find new podcasts: Search, trending shows, categories, and similar podcasts work without an account. OPML import and export let you take your subscriptions with you.
Sync when you choose: Subscriptions, listening progress, the queue, and podcast settings can be synchronized between Windows and iPhone.
Control it from your wrist: The Apple Watch companion controls playback and provides access to the queue while the iPhone is reachable.

A look inside the app

The Windows app. Tabs for Queue, Inbox, Library and Discover along the top; below them an expanded podcast whose episodes are marked with a circle, a tick or a star for unplayed, played or favourite. Underneath, the description of the selected episode and a player bar with position, volume and speed. — The library on Windows

The iPhone app's queue: eight episodes in a hand-chosen order, each with its podcast, date and length, one of them marked 37 per cent played. A bar at the bottom holds the four sections Queue, Inbox, Library and Discover. — The queue on iPhone

The Windows app's preview dialog, with the description and episode list of a podcast that is not subscribed to. The status line below reads: Preview. Episodes can be taken over without subscribing to the podcast. — Listen in without subscribing

The iPhone app searching for the word Wissenschaft, with a list of matching podcast titles and their publishers below it. At the very bottom an episode is playing in the player bar. — Finding podcasts on iPhone
