## Description

Podsnap is a podcast player built to spend less time on ad breaks and more time on the shows you actually want to hear.<br>As you listen, Podsnap analyzes episodes and detects common ad segments such as sponsor reads, dynamically inserted ads, and cross-promotions. When Podsnap is confident it found an ad break, it can skip it automatically. When detection is less certain, a skip button lets you jump past the break with one tap.<br>You can also mark ad segments yourself, helping improve detection over time.<br>What Podsnap does:<br>• Automatically detects podcast ad breaks<br>• Skips high-confidence ad segments for you<br>• Offers one-tap skipping when a break is uncertain<br>• Detects sponsor reads, inserted ads, and cross-promos<br>• Lets you manually mark missed ad segments<br>• Includes the familiar podcast features you expect from a full podcast player<br>Find your shows, press play, and let Podsnap handle the interruptions.
