How to transfer your podcast subscriptions to Playary using an OPML file on Playary iOS App?

If you're moving from another podcast app and want to bring your existing subscriptions into Playary, you can do so quickly using an OPML file. OPML is a standard format used by many podcast apps to export a list of your subscribed shows. By importing this file into Playary, you can avoid the hassle of manually searching and subscribing to each podcast again. This is especially useful if you're switching from apps like Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or any other platform that supports OPML export.

Steps to Import Your OPML File on iOS:

  1. Open the Playary app on your iOS device and make sure you're logged into your account.
  2. Tap the Library tab in the bottom navigation bar.
  3. Tap the Settings icon located at the top-right corner of the screen.
  4. Under the Content Preferences section, select Podcast OPML Management.
  5. In the Import OPML File section, tap the Select button.
  6. Choose your .opml file from your phone’s storage.
  7. Once the upload is complete, Playary will read the file and match the listed podcasts with those available in its archive.
  8. Any matched podcasts will be automatically added to the Podcasts section of your library.

Additional Information:

  1. Only podcasts available in Playary’s catalog will be imported; unavailable shows will not appear in your library.
  2. You can re-import the same OPML file at any time; podcasts you’re already subscribed to will be skipped to prevent duplicates.
  3. Make sure the file you select has a .opml or .xml extension and is stored locally on your device.
