• Streamlined visual design: 'sodes is designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy for users to navigate without overwhelming them with unnecessary features.

• Convenient home screen: The app's home screen provides quick access to your favorite shows, ongoing episodes, and recent unplayed episodes.
• Multiple color themes: Choose from different color themes, including Light, Dark, and Campfire, allowing you to customize your listening experience.
• User-friendly interface: The player screen features large buttons with ample spacing, making it easier to control playback even when you're on the move.
• Compatible with CarPlay: 'sodes works seamlessly with CarPlay, ensuring a safe listening experience while driving.
• Siri Shortcuts integration: You can use Siri Shortcuts to play specific podcasts or automatically queue up the most relevant content for you. (Requires iOS 12)
• Keep Screen Unlocked feature: Commuters who can't use CarPlay can enable the "Keep Screen Unlocked" option in settings when their phone is connected to a dashboard mount. This allows for easy control without needing to unlock the phone while on the go.

It's important to note that an internet connection is required to play audio on 'sodes. The app only downloads the necessary portions of audio data, temporarily storing it on your device to limit network data usage. This means that offline playback is not available, but the storage impact on your iPhone is minimized as the app manages and periodically removes old audio data automatically.
