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).

I downloaded and immediately bought the Pro license because it was the only way to import my feeds from another app. An option to just import a few before buying would have been nice.
The 1.5x playback speed is weird and unlike other podcast apps. It makes everyone's voices sound "shaky". It is a dealbreaker for me at this point.
I would like options to customize the feed screen. One to show just the feed's artwork instead of per-episode artwork. One to include the feed name under the episode title. Both are needed because some episodes with per-episode artwork and weird titles make it impossible to guess what feed it's even from without tapping to view its details. Maybe some different application icon options? The ship wheel logo sticks out like a sore thumb.
Maybe I'm not seeing it but is there a way to automatically download new episodes and process ads in the background so I don't have to wait to start playback every time? Even if it processes just the first X number of seconds/minutes so the playback can start right away and finish analyzing during playback.
Please add some support resources in the app to at least provide feedback so I don't have to write all this in an app review. Even going to the app's website just bounces back to the App Store page.
