The search is over — SkipCast is your perfect Podcast app!
Skip the ads, not the show.
Genuine, automatic ad-skipping is a rare thing in a podcast app — and SkipCast does it in a way that feels like magic. It actually listens, right on your device, learning what an ad sounds like in each of your shows, then seeking cleanly past the breaks. You hear the content you came for — not the pitch.
Here's how SkipCast skips:
• By voice. SkipCast learns who's on the show and recognizes the host reads and sponsor spots by the speakers themselves — then jumps right past them.
• By jingle. Most podcasts slide into ads with a little musical sting. Train SkipCast on that jingle once, and it catches every future ad that uses it.
• By the speakers you choose. Only here for one or two voices? Tag your favorites and SkipCast can skip everyone else — perfect for panel shows and long guest interviews.
Train it once per show and it just works — quietly, automatically, on every episode after. And because all of that listening happens on your device, nothing about what you play ever leaves your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Just the show.
SkipCast streams audio and video from your favorite Podcasts. Looking for something new? A powerful discovery system lets you search by category or interest — and even preview entire episodes with a single tap!
Listen your way with Custom Playlists.
Build your own playlists from any episode in your library, reorder them with a tap, and switch between them instantly. Or stick with Easy List — a single, automatically managed queue that just plays.
Sound that fits real life.
Advanced audio effects like Trim Silence intelligently reduce playtime, Car Mode evens out volume for noisy environments, and Treble and Bass Boost add kick and sizzle to make every Podcast sound fantastic!
Built for battery life.
Every square inch of SkipCast was built for efficiency, squeezing every possible bit of playtime from your device so you can listen longer and more worry-free.
Hate being blinded at night? SkipCast automatically switches to a beautiful dark theme after dark. You want a Podcast client, not a flashlight!
Of course, that's not all — SkipCast proudly features:
• Intelligent ad-skip that learns each show's voices and jingles — all on-device and private.
• Skip specific speakers to hear only the voices you want.
• Custom playlists, plus the automatic Easy List queue.

SkipCast is fast, efficient, private, and easy to use. Give it a shot and I know you'll love it too — only in the App Store!
the cpu usage is very good hovering around one percent, but the user interface is completely anti user
Low usage on mac but not on iOS
ios 5 was the best
Relative Low battery usage and insanely small app. But... the UI is quite anti-user. There is no way to date reverse sort the episodes (which is a must, since I listen to recorded news). Interface is quite spartan.EDIT: Pocket Casts gives me more usability and less battery usage. Uninstalling. But still keeping the app on mac.
Feature request: allow importing opml files

I’d like to be able to add podcasts in bulk if at all possible
UX is terrible.

I was so confused using this app, and couldn’t even try the key feature, skipping ads.Also it has a few bugs and they ruins experience more. I think it has its potential, but really needs to be fixed in many ways.
- Proper iPad Split Screen Support!
- Minor bug Fixes and Improvements
