### 4/5 — I can see this taking over as my podcast app

*2022-08-27*

The only features I miss from other podcast apps are automatic detection of ads and ad skipping; dead air / silence remover; the “podcasts” listed in the the app would be great if they weren’t just “top podcasts,” but changed into simply “recommended (based on analytics?) podcasts” and categorising them under generalised “genres.”

Thank you!
