Offline playback and what to expect

What works offline, how episodes appear, and how PolyPod handles network changes.

PolyPod is offline‑first. Here’s how it behaves when you’re disconnected:

  • Downloaded episodes: always playable
  • Previously cached lists: still visible
  • Search: limited (needs network)
  • Tagging new podcasts: limited (needs network)

You’ll see an offline indicator with helpful messaging on relevant screens.
