Vocalia Podcast support

Email app@archetipi-digitali.it with your device model, iOS version and Vocalia version/build from Settings → About. Describe the steps and, if helpful, attach a screenshot without private information. Do not send passwords or private feed links.

Finding a podcast

Open Search, enter a title, creator or topic and submit. Tap a result to browse the description and episodes inside the app. You can play or queue a single episode without following the whole show. The globe menu changes the national catalog.

RSS feeds and moving your library

Settings includes Add RSS feed, Import OPML and Export OPML. OPML transfers subscriptions, not audio or playback progress. Pull down in your library to refresh feeds.

Using the queue and mini-player

Tap an episode to play it and drag the handle to reorder. The interrupted episode stays in the queue. Swipe down to minimize the player into its pill; tap the pill to expand it. Minimizing does not pause playback.

Listening offline

Wait for an episode download to complete before going offline. Search, refresh and new downloads need Internet. Use an episode’s menu to download or remove its file. Settings can download the latest episode and delete files after playback completion. iOS schedules background updates.

Smart Sleep Timer

Enable it in Settings, choose a duration and one or more time windows, including overnight windows. Every playback restart within an active window starts a fresh timer, including Play from headphones. Manual pause cancels the timer; leaving the time window disables the automatic timer. The player also offers a manual timer and stop-at-end.

Missing chapters

Chapters depend on the publisher’s feed and supported formats. Episodes without chapters can still play.

Siri and CarPlay

Use Shortcuts to select Vocalia actions and configure their parameters. For initial voice tests, say the full name “Vocalia Podcast”. Check your Siri language and Lock Screen permissions. CarPlay requires a compatible system and uses Apple templates for the library, episodes, queue and audio controls.

Your data

Library, queue and progress stay on your device. No Vocalia account is required. See the privacy notice for Apple, publisher connections and sharing.

A feed does not refresh or an episode does not play

Check your connection and try again. A publisher may change a feed address, remove a file or have a temporarily unavailable server. If it persists, email the show name and steps without credentials or private feed URLs.

Vocalia Podcast is made by Archetipi Digitali s.r.l. It is free and has no in-app purchases. Episodes may contain advertising supplied by their publishers.
