Editor's Overview

Podcini.X - Podcast instrument is a multimedia application developed by Xilin Jia, packaged as a single Android APK of version 11.2 weighing in at 67.16 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 67.16 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Xilin Jia" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Podcini, an open source podcast instrument, attuned to Puccini, adorned with pasticcini and aromatized with porcini, invites your harmonious heartbeats.

Do I hear your heartbeats? Great!

Common functionalities of a podcast player are well-supported:

  • Search, discover and subscribe to podcasts, by keywords, simple RSS URLs, or OPML files.

  • Download, stream or queue episodes, and enjoy them the way you like with adjustable playback speeds.

  • Save effort, battery power and mobile data usage with powerful automation controls for auto-downloading/auto-enqueuing episodes.

  • If the feed contains no media (plain RSS feed), Text-to-Speech engine is used to play the text.

  • Listening progress can be instantly synced through a NextCloud server or across devices in the same Wi-Fi network without a server.

  9. When you unsubscribe a podcast, it allows you to preserve your important episodes of the podcast in a synthetic feed.

  11. It caches streamed audio for seamless local rewind and replay.

  12. You can record audio clips or mark positions on any episodes for better review.

  13. You can also set selected episodes related for better grouping.

  14. Sure, you can play any episodes in your car's speakers.

  15. And, it's not all about audio, video is well handled.
