Background downloads can be set per podcast, while Smart download retrieves newer unplayed episodes for offline listening. Playback options include seven modes, a sleep timer, audio boost, alarm scheduling, Chromecast support, and Smart rewind. Users can create multiple playlists, and the Up Next queue updates when playlists change.
