Question 1

An episode won't play or download

Accepted Answer

Abrapod streams audio directly from the podcast publisher's own servers. If a single episode fails, the publisher's file may be offline or moved — try another episode from the same show to confirm. For downloads, check that you have free storage in Settings → Storage, and that you are not on a restricted network.

Question 2

A show is missing from search

Accepted Answer

Search results come from the Podcast Index public podcast directory. If a show is missing there, it will not appear in Abrapod. Publishers can submit their feed at https://podcastindex.org.

Question 3

My library isn't syncing between devices

Accepted Answer

iCloud sync is an Abrapod Premium feature. Confirm that both devices are signed into the same Apple Account, that iCloud Drive is enabled in iOS Settings, and that Sync with iCloud is turned on in Abrapod → Settings. First sync can take a minute over cellular.

Question 4

How do I free up space?

Accepted Answer

Settings → Storage shows how many episodes you have downloaded and how much space they use. You can delete all downloads there, or turn on Auto-Delete Played Episodes so finished episodes clean themselves up. Deleted episodes remain available for streaming.
