Impressive

I don’t understand how my 6-year-old phone can run local ad detection 🤯 I’ve long been skipping through ads, but it is soooo much nicer for that to happen automatically.

Impressive app.

Features I am dearly missing:

1) Playback queue
2) Automatic downloads & automatic ad detection — it’s currently a two, a wait, a tap, and another wait to be able to play an episode. Ideally, for feeds I opted in to automatic processing for, it would be zero taps and as little wait as technically possible
3) Combined view of recent episodes from app subscriptions
4) Support for skipping back/forward via Bluetooth such as my car
5) Played episodes should be deleted automatically, and also marked as played / hidden by default

Works Well - But!

It's a nice app and does the job well.
In a future update is it possible that a badge can show when there's a new episode rather that keep checking each podcast.
Well done to the developer

Review title. I dunno?

Works great, cuts ads as described! Very happy user!

Only thing I would request is a way to view a list of latest episodes for all podcasts. Currently you have to go into each one to check if there’s a new episode.

Excellent, would happily pay for this

Beautiful + modern interface. The ad skipping works, and I like the short tone it plays to indicate it auto-skipped an ad. As others have mentioned, features like auto-downloading and auto-transcribing would be great, but even in its current state I’ll continue to migrate my podcasts over to this for the friction that it removes from my daily listening.
