## What is YAPP?

YAPP is the podcast app that respects your time.

SMART SKIP
Listen to the good stuff. Skip the rest. YAPP analyzes every episode of the shows you follow and maps the parts you'd fast-forward anyway — start, middle, and end — so playback glides straight through them. A gentle tone tells you it happened; markers on the timeline show what you didn't sit through. Your first 10 Smart-Skip listens are free.

READ ALONG
Live transcripts follow every word as it plays. Tap a sentence to jump there. Key Moments surface the highlights of each episode so you can preview before you commit an hour.

CHAPTERS, AUTOMATICALLY
Every analyzed episode gets clean, editorial chapters — even when the show doesn't publish its own.

YOUR WEEK, SUMMARIZED
The Weekly Digest gathers what you listened to into a summary you can read — or play as an AI-narrated montage.

A REAL PODCAST APP UNDERNEATH
• Follow any show — RSS, private feeds, OPML import
• Downloads, offline listening, storage controls
• Queue, playback speed, sleep timer with shake-to-extend
• CarPlay with Smart-Skip along for the ride
• Listen together with friends in real time

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads of our own, no third-party tracking, no selling your data. Logs on your device are encrypted. You can use YAPP without an account; signing in is required for Smart Skip and the other Premium features, and keeps your listening in sync across devices. Full policy: app.yapp.at/privacy

PREMIUM
Smart Skip, transcripts, Key Moments, and the Weekly Digest are part of YAPP Premium — $2.99/month, or $29.99/year with a 60-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Following shows, playback, downloads, and the queue are free forever.

### 5/5 — Best podcast app I’ve ever used

*2026-09-07*

The feature set is incredible. First, the app automatically “presses” the 30 second skip forward button on ads, credits and other frequently skipped content so you don’t have to. The ability to manage your favorite shows and episodes by following or bookmarking is super powerful. The queue “up next” feature is ideal for the way I listen. And there’s probably another ten great features I didn’t list. Love this app.
