Shuttle Podcasts: Skip Ads

Shuttle Podcasts is a simple podcast player that skips the ads inserted into episodes. When an ad break starts, Smart Skip plays a soft chime and jumps straight back to the show.

★★★★★ "If you want a simple podcast player without all the bloat and visual noise, this is the app for you."
- Nick Carter, Google Play

SMART SKIP

• Finds the ads inserted into an episode by comparing several copies of it, then skips past them on your phone with a chime.
• Changed your mind? Undo a skip straight after the chime, or keep the ads for any show with one tap.
• Host-read sponsor messages stay in, so a show's own sponsors are still heard.
• It won't catch every inserted ad, and it never guesses from a transcript.
• Fair to creators: the full episode still downloads from the publisher's feed, so the show is counted and paid. The file is never altered or re-hosted.
• Free on one show of your choice, which you can swap every 7 days. Shuttle Plus turns Smart Skip on for every show.

WHAT LISTENERS SAY

★★★★★ "I've sorely missed google podcasts since it shut down - this is essentially a perfect replacement which does everything I could want."

A SOLO INDIE APP

I'm Tim, an Australian developer, and you may know my earlier app, Shuttle Music Player. When my favourite podcast app shut down, nothing else hit the spot, so I built a simple, fast podcast player for myself and kept polishing it.
