What's new

Version 4.2.0 · 13 days ago

A new look • A redesigned home with Listen Now, Library, Playlists and Search tabs, and the episode you're playing always one tap away at the bottom of the screen. • Listen Now picks up where you left off with a Continue Listening card, and your playlists are right there as chips. • Liquid Glass throughout on iOS 26: player controls, sheets, menus and tips. • Refreshed player controls for light and dark mode, with subtle animations. • Built for iPhone Duo: SkipCast fills both displays and adapts as you fold and unfold. Fixes and improvements • Skip forward no longer jumps backwards in some episodes. • Your place is saved when you leave the app, and episodes resume exactly where you stopped. • Deleting the episode that's playing now stops it. • Swiping a row with several downloaded episodes deletes the one it shows. • Swipe to delete works while feeds are refreshing, and play starts faster during a refresh. • Cancelling a download now cancels it, including automatic downloads. • Smoother scrolling in episode lists while episodes download. • Fixed episode lists sometimes opening the wrong podcast after a refresh. • Fixed the player sometimes freezing so you couldn't go back. • Fixed a crash when switching episodes. • Podcast links and Home Screen quick actions work again. • Ad Skip explains when Paired Jingles finds nothing, and its hints only show when Ad Skip is on. SkipCast now requires iOS 18 or later.

About

SkipCast is the podcast player that skips the ads for you. SKIP ADS, AUTOMATICALLY SkipCast listens to your episodes right on your device and seeks past the ad breaks, leaving more of the show you came for. Choose how it works for each podcast: - By Speaker: SkipCast learns who's on the show and skips the ad reads. Optionally mark your favorite hosts and it skips everyone else too. - Music Beds: most shows introduce sponsor reads with music. SkipCast finds those sections and jumps past them.
