What's New in PodSkip

1.4.0

October 25, 2026

Works offline, and even when our server is down. • No internet? Downloaded episodes still play and skip their ads. • Server down? Playback keeps going and PodSkip catches up later. • Tap play and lock your phone right away: the episode still starts. • Clear offline screens instead of endless spinning, in CarPlay too. • If ad skips can't load, the player says so and tries again. • Skipping ahead in a still-loading episode lands where you aimed.

User reviews

Just not worth a subscription.

Why do I have to have a subscription if it works with on device AI.

Also it’s so slow at finding ads.

It just starts playing so if ads are at the beginning you get to listen to them until it’s almost over and then it will let you skip.

There are better apps like this with on device ad detection that don’t charge you a subscription. Avoid.

Response from developer

Hi there, Thanks for the honest review, this helps make us better! In response, we've made scanning about 50x faster, and popular shows are now scanned on our servers before you even hit play. Since 1.2, episodes in your Up Next queue get scanned before you reach them too, so those ads at the start are caught. And good news: skipping ads is free for every show and episode. Pro just adds a few extras like auto-skip, and if you're not a fan of subscriptions, there's a one time Lifetime option. We'd love for you to give the latest version a try. And if there's anything else you'd like to see, tell us in Settings > Contact Support. We read every message!
