PodLP is the first and most popular podcast app for feature phones, available on KaiOS, the JioPhone, and Cloud Phone. With 10+ million installs across more than 175 countries, PodLP brings the podcast listening experience to the next billion listeners on affordable devices.

PodLP was a 2020 KaiOS Staff Pick, featured on Podnews, WBUR, and Sounds Profitable. Users find PodLP easy to use and one of most useful apps. You can also listen to podcasts discussing PodLP including Buzzcast, Svelte Society, and Podcasting Tech.

Labs & Libraries #

PodLP has branched out into experiments like PodCal, a tool to subscribe to podcasts in your calendar app, an NPM package to parse RSS feeds called podparse, and feature suggestions for the Podcast Index XML namespace.

Alongside PodLP, I authored KaiOS.dev to share lessons from 5+ years of experience building, launching, and scaling apps on feature phones. I also built KaiOS.app providing public landing pages with screenshots, and on KaiOS, each page launches the app details page on the KaiStore or JioStore using Web Activities. Both websites are open source on GitHub (kaios-dev-blog and kaios-app), alongside my NPM package kaios-types offering TypeScript type declarations for dozens of non-standard APIs.
