About this app

If you like Podcasts but find they’re missing energy and motivation for your workout, then you’ll love Podbeat. Now you can easily add a Beat to any Podcast or Audiobook for a run, hike, bike or workout. Imagine being able to choose any genre of Beat style you like and just add it to the Podcast or Audiobook of your choice. Now stop imagining - because Podbeat makes it possible.

WHAT MAKES PODBEAT A GAME-CHANGING APP?

Adding Podcasts and Audiobooks to your workout playlist is a game-changing addition to your workout routine. No more crossing your fingers, hoping the next song on your shuffle doesn’t ruin your workout rhythm. You are in control with a consistent, motivational driving beat that enhances focus and engagement on the content and your workout.

PODBEAT IS A FIRST-EVER FITNESS APP

So why has this never been done before? Because your mobile phone only allows one audio source to play at a time, but Podbeat designed a simple, easy way around that. You simply tap and lock your screen allowing the beat to play as it dims automatically to preserve your phone’s battery. This allows you total control of the Podcast and Audiobook experience so you can adjust the beat’s treble, bass, volume and even pace. Having control of the speed of a beat allows you to match the intensity of your workout.

IS ADDING A BEAT TO A PODCAST OVERPOWERING?

Not when each beat is designed to be minimal and support the Podcast or Audiobook. Because you have full control of the beat volume, you can ensure the perfect mix so the voice of the Podcaster is supported perfectly.


BEATS DESIGNED TO WORK THE WAY YOU WORKOUT.

All of the beats from Podbeat are crafted to evolve, build, then devolve and loop in three-minute increments. Why? Because that’s how your body responds to waves of adrenaline while you’re exercising. If you’ve ever been running and noticed you started to slow down, so you picked up the pace, there’s a good chance three minutes later you’re going to start to slow down again. Adding a beat to your Podcast allows you to maintain a consistent pace while enjoying the ebb and flow of a well-designed beat.

BEAT STYLES FOR EVERY PODCAST STYLE

Podbeat is always adding new beat styles for our users. Here’s a few beat breakdowns of some of the beat genre’s we offer and how they work with different Podcast styles.



HOUSE
Our House beats create a predictable pulse, like a heartbeat, which our bodies naturally sync to. They invite you to move without thinking, locking you into a flow state as the pulse propels you forward making them perfect for a run, hike or bike. House Pairs well with a Podcaster’s slower, thoughtful delivery.

HIPHOP
Our Hip Hop Beats shift their emphasis to the off beats with unexpected accents. This creates a groove that feels dynamic and alive, engaging the body in a way that feels unpredictable, grounded in the pulse of the beat. Hip Hop Pairs well with Podcaster duo’s where their back-and-forth banter is fun and unscripted.

EDM
Our EDM Beats have a signature feature based around their build-up and drops. Their electric build-up gradually increases tension with escalating rhythms, rising synths, and faster beats creating anticipation and excitement. When the ‘drop’ hits, the energy releases. EDM pairs well with more tense, story driven Podcasts.

LO-FI
Our Lo-Fi Beats might not immediately seem like an obvious choice for motivating a workout, but their unique muted tones can actually provide a gentle and consistent push, especially for activities that require focus. Lo-Fi Beats sync with your breath and help keep you present. They pair well with thoughtful, self-care Podcasts.

TRAP
Our Trap Beats stuttering hi-hat patterns add a sense of urgency and tension. This sonic twitch-fidget effect makes you want to move quickly and sharply. It’s perfect for high-energy movements in the gym with a fast-paced mindset. Trap Beats pair well with deeper one-on-one, authentic Podcast conversations

Ratings and reviews

Everytime I try to open the app, the whole thing crashes. This is extremely discouraging as someone who loves to listen to audio books and planned on doing a review on social channels for the app. The concept is phenomenal but I can't get it to work.

When I select the music it automatically just closes the app. And I have the payments unlocked and everything. please fix this because I love the idea of it.

Really liking this app. Allows me to work out with a beat, but not get bored by just music. Dev - could you just add a simple metronome setting too? Sometimes, like with paced walking, I just want a click pet beat. Great app though, glad I saw an ad for It and remembered.
