I can’t recommend getting pro for $10 as the detection of ads is not effective enough such that I have to look at my phone every skip it does to check if it skipped real content (which it often does for me, and I report it). It also does not detect ads sometimes. As a result, I have to give more attention to this app than to any other podcast app which is against the purpose here. If you just want to hit play and not worry about ads, this app is not ready for you. I’ll stick with it for awhile as I paid my $10 dollars. I’ll report incorrect skips and hopefully it’ll work well one day. I should get paid $10 for all that development i’m helping out with honestly 😋

When it works, it works great! I've experienced it not skipping the occasional ad, and once skipping a description of a nightclub that was actual content - but that's to be expected from on-device transcription / AI. My main quibble is that sometimes when it does skip an ad, it'll just randomly start the episode over. Especially if the screen is off, it seems. Other times it'll end an episode prematurely. It's not skipping an ad at the end - the time just indicates the podcast is over, but it isn't yet. And finally, sometimes it will indicate that a podcast's time is over... but it's still playing lol. Like I'll be listening and glance to see where I’m at in the podcast and how much is left, and the time bar indicates I am at the end (say, 44:10 / 44:10) but it's still playing. If you scrub, it goes back to the visible portions of the time bar and there's no way to get back to where you were without just waiting since that portion exists... outside of time and space, apparently lol Overall I think it was worth my $10. These are just bugs I'm sure they'll iron out eventually. But yeah there's definitely some actual bugs - not just misidentified ads (which I'd completely expect).
