# Podtastic > The independent podcast app built for listeners, not advertising companies; your data stays private, you control how you listen. Podtastic is a subscription podcast app for iOS and Android. It reduces interruptions with Smart Skip (skip past the parts other listeners skip), and adds Smart Summaries and Smart Topics for every episode. Processing happens on-device; there are no ad SDKs and no tracking identifiers. ## Key pages - [Home](https://podtastic.app/): overview and features - [Pricing](https://podtastic.app/pricing): plans and free trial - [About](https://podtastic.app/about): the story and founder (Ben Bowler) - [Apple CarPlay](https://podtastic.app/carplay): CarPlay support - [Blog](https://podtastic.app/blog): guides and articles about podcast listening - [Podcast apps](https://podtastic.app/apps): comparisons with other podcast apps - [Save Open Podcasting](https://podtastic.app/save-open-podcasting): why open RSS feeds matter, what platform exclusives take away, and what is at stake - [Independent podcast apps](https://podtastic.app/save-open-podcasting/apps): a directory of independent and open-source podcast apps that play any open RSS feed ## Info - [Help & Support](https://podtastic.app/info/help) - [Privacy Policy](https://podtastic.app/info/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Service](https://podtastic.app/info/terms-of-service)
