PodEngine Mobile

USA

Personalised Podcast & Radio Streaming Mobile App with Paid Content Monetisation. ATS built the PodEngine Flutter mobile application integrating deeply with the existing Liferay 6.2 REST API backend.

The challenge

Why this project mattered

PodEngine, an established web-based podcast streaming platform, needed to extend its reach to mobile audiences who expected native-quality audio streaming experiences. The challenge was to expose the full platform functionality — custom radio station creation, playlist management, podcast discovery, and Braintree-powered paid subscriptions — in a Flutter mobile app integrated with the existing Liferay backend.

What we built

The delivery

ATS built the PodEngine Flutter mobile application integrating deeply with the existing Liferay 6.2 REST API backend. The app delivered a highly engaging audio experience with a persistent mini-player (audio continues while browsing), custom radio station builder with drag-and-drop playlist management, RSS-fed podcast discovery with intelligent categorisation, and seamless Braintree in-app payment for premium content subscriptions. Background audio playback, lock screen media controls, and offline queue management were implemented for a truly native-quality experience.
