1.9.2: Podcast lists and podcast and music players are more comfortable in landscape on iPhone and iPad. Search and queue actions are easier to reach, and rotating keeps your search text and reading position in place. Auto-Skip responds sooner to newly detected adverts and self-promotion and handles measured lead-ins to known promotional patterns more precisely. Your settings still apply. We’ve improved responsiveness when refreshing podcasts whilst music is playing, and navigation when access to the music library hasn’t been authorised. 1.9.1: Auto-Skip confirms a successful jump before reporting it, with retry and recovery when needed. Short ads and self-promotions detected with very high confidence can be skipped sooner while analysis continues; your settings still apply. Add multiple episodes to the queue with the new visible plus button. New Cut Wave app icon. 1.9: Stability and performance improvements. Music playback is initialised only when needed, reducing unnecessary system requests at app startup and during podcast playback. Long audio-analysis sections are processed in smaller steps. Large music libraries are sorted more efficiently, and background audio analysis controls CPU usage to reduce load. Compatibility adjustments for the latest Apple SDKs. 1.8.7: More precise ad detection: improved comparison of local and publisher transcripts, including mixed passages, and better timing of automatic skips. Sponsor hints in show notes and linked sponsor lists now inform analysis together with spoken promotional content; a brand mention alone is not enough. Intros and outros are restricted to plausible positions near the episode’s beginning and end, with tighter length limits. Reanalysis refines automatic markers while preserving manual corrections. When you return to the app, pending feed updates, eligible downloads, transcription and analysis are resumed more reliably, respecting your network and download settings. Transcripts remain visible while new sections arrive. Navigation and list preparation on Mac are more responsive. Download-result messages now appear in the active settings screen. 1.8.6: Downloaded is now part of My Lists: episodes show artwork and their order can be changed and saved. When enabled, Silence Reduction shortens pauses without altering voices, with global and per-podcast controls; Time Saved reports the result separately. The new Skip History explains automatic skips, returns to the original position and applies label corrections to future episodes. Search every transcript in the Transcript Library, jump to a match and share quotes. Notifications for new episodes, completed downloads and analyses can be controlled per podcast. Eligible episodes from the last seven days are automatically queued after a feed refresh as soon as your network rules allow. Music opens from the last saved state and adds a full-screen player, accurate seeking, queue, previous/next, shuffle and repeat; CarPlay adds music browsing and transport controls. Player bars no longer cover actions, large lists respond faster and Add Feed is now directly visible in Podcasts. 1.8: Major reliability and detection-precision update. Ads, self-promotion, donation appeals, intros and outros are detected more accurately with stricter confirmation and better segment boundaries. The queue now explains initial analysis, audio matching and progress more clearly, while interrupted work resumes more reliably. 1.7: More reliable refreshing, downloading and preparation. 1.6: Analysis is easier to understand and the queue is easier to control. 1.5: Improved detection of ads and self-promotion. 1.4: Larger platform update with music library support, better Watch and CarPlay support, revised screenshots, and broader localization. 1.3: Better analysis and sharing features. 1.2: Stability and platform update for iOS and macOS. 1.1: Improved local transcription, more stable downloads, and smoother playback. 1.0: Initial version.
