  • Friends’ feed
  • Reviews & replies
  • Find your people
Sonar's Friends feed: the episodes your friends rated, each with their score in dots and a heart for the ones they loved.

Podcasts are made to be talked about.
Most apps leave you listening alone.

Sonar puts the people back in podcasts: your friends’ picks, their honest takes, and a place to answer them.

Friends

See what friends are hearing.

Follow the people whose taste you trust. Every episode they rate or review lands in your feed, so the next great listen finds you, not the other way round.

  • A Friends feed of everything they’ve rated and loved
  • Episodes picked for you, from the shows you follow
  • What you listened to recently, one tap away
Sonar's home: episodes for you, recently listened to, and what friends rated.

Reviews

Share your take. Start the conversation.

Write a line or a page about any episode. Friends can love it and reply, and you can answer theirs. Every episode becomes a place to talk about it.

A review in Sonar: a rating in dots, the episode it is about, and replies underneath.

Rate

Rate every episode.

Try it. How was the last episode you heard?

7/10 Really good
