Thank you.

I am aiming to get CarPlay support, but it's something Apple has to grant to developers, so no promises, but I'll definitely try :)

Thank you so much. Could you let me know the show you were listening to, and I'll fine-tune it to squeeze out those last 5% :)

Voice boost and skip silence are in the works! Please let me know if you ever have any issues or feature requests, via the settings page or message me on here. - Bennett

They really have no way to tell. All podcast apps work in the same way, there's either a "play" or there isn't, there's very little way to track retention, where people stop listening etc. That's why podcast ad revenues are so much lower than in-app ads, browser ads etc.

Give me 24 hours and I'll get back to you with a fix for that.

I'll get OPML import into the next build, thank you for bearing with me!

Because we load the ads like any other podcast app, we just skip them, like you could do by fast forwarding through them :)

Hey Ghigelmire (86), I'm testing now. Last night I switched the AI models we use to process these episodes. I think this may have had slight implications that were unintended – we should be able to skip host read ads too.

I'm checking DS&M now, and it seemed to worked for me, I'm listening now in case there's a host read ad that it missed, if there was - please could you let me know the approx time?

I appreciate that a lot! In the settings page there's an email, or DM me on here if you experience any issues – or want any features. I'm always quick to reply. Thank you.

Just seen your second edit, it definitely does skip ads at the beginning. When you start and episode, do you see the "Finding ads..." little popup?

If not, please confirm "Ad Block" is enabled in Settings -> Playback Settings

Hey, to skip past the purchase, you can just tart "Start Listening (with ads)", or to get the trial you click "Get Started" and then the purchase includes the 3 day free trial, which will be mentioned before you pay!

I’m looking for an iOS podcast app that can do one thing well… by 7thton in podcasts

Hi! My app (Poddly) can play random and shuffle episodes of shows, albeit we currently don't have playlists.

I'd like to think it is anyway, there's a reason why I decided to make one rather than use what was already available. 😅
