As of today, Sofa comes with a full-featured podcast player that can easily be your primary way of listening to your favorite shows. Here’s a quick rundown of what you get: * Add your favorite podcasts * Easily manage your “Up Next” queue * Simple controls, chapter selection, show notes, and more
If you’re a podcaster, I built a handy little tool on Sofa's website to help you easily create a “Listen On Sofa” button for your podcast.
There are different styles to suit your website’s design or you can simply copy the link and use it however you like.
This button will directly link to a “subscribe” page in Sofa when people click on it.
I hope it’s helpful!

In iOS 13, people will be able to choose a light or dark “theme” that will apply system wide. Regardless of what you think about dark mode, apps that don’t adopt this will stick out like a sore thumb. Luckily, Sofa already has a dark mode, but I needed
