Podcini 6 has a different applicationId currently dubbed as PodciniR, so it installs in parallel with earlier versions of Podcini on any device. Once installed, it starts afresh, without any podcasts subscribed.

Podcini 6 has overhauled database and routines completely, the iron-age celebrity SQLite is replaced with the modern object-based Realm. While Podcini 6 can export/import the Realm DB, the SQLite DB from version 5 and below can not be imported.

To update it with your current subscriptions, listening progress, episodes marked favorite, and app preferences, the following can be imported to it from Settings -> Import/Export (preferably in the following order):

  • OPML file
  • json file of episodes progress
  • preferences files

These files can be best exported in version 5.5.2 in Settings -> Import/Export

Then your subscriptions, listening progress, favorites, and app preferences will be updated.

Unfortunately, media files will need to be separately downloaded.
