Leave your phone behind when you work out!
Watchcast is a new Podcast app designed to take full advantage of the Apple Watch.
- Watchcast lets you transfer podcasts to your watch so you can listen without your phone.
- Listen directly from your watch with bluetooth headphones. Go for a workout and leave your phone behind!
- Podcasts play in the background while you track your workout with your favorite app.
- Progress on a podcast is synced between your phone and watch. Finish your workout before the podcast? Seamlessly resume on your phone where it left off on your watch.
- Use the iOS app to search and subscribe to podcasts from the iTunes Podcast library.
- Subscribed podcasts will update automatically when new episodes are released.
- Configure individual shows to download and sync to your watch automatically.

TIPS
- Transfers of large files can take several minutes over bluetooth, be patient and plan ahead! I highly recommend using the feature that automatically transfers new episodes to the watch.
- To speed up transfer, make sure to wake the app on your watch a few times.
- The watch face complication is currently available in the smallest sizes. It shows the number of podcasts stored on your watch.

NOTES
- The app is free to download with all features unlocked. To subscribe to more than two different shows, you will need to complete an in-app purchase. This purchase is good for the life of the app, including all future fixes and improvements.
- I am an avid runner and podcast listener, and as a heavy user of my own app I promise that bugs will be fixed quickly and new features will be added over time.
