Acast warns podcast app is shutting down for 900million users after 8 years

ACAST, one of the world’s most popular podcast platforms, announced on Tuesday that it is closing down its app.

The Swedish company tweeted that users will “soon need a new way to listen to your favourite podcasts”.

It means fans will need to jump to rivals like Spotify or Apple Podcasts in order to follow their favourite shows.

Acast did not provide a reason for the sudden closure and has yet to reveal the date that the app will be shut down.

Acast hosts over 40,000 shows and boasted more than 900million monthly listeners.

The Sun has reached out to the company for comment.
