Boundaries worth stating in a review
Feedcast cuts sponsor sections out of a downloaded copy before playback. It is a preparation app rather than a replacement player or a live network ad blocker, and spoken ads are not uniform, so detection is good rather than perfect. Every cut is listed in the app and can be undone.
YouTube import is in the direct download only, never in the Mac App Store build. Feedcast publishes feed XML online by default for Free and Premium, with Local Only as an opt-out. It publishes nothing else: episode media stays on the user’s Mac and streams from there, which means the Mac has to be awake and reachable.
