OP here: If you are already skipping the ads with the skip-forward button in your favorite app, you will love AdSkipPro. I use it every day driving back and forth to work, and I think it's great. If you don't skip the ads, and you

You lost me there. Hoping to have sincere discussions here.

I sure would :)

Why should a lively and interesting discussion be flagged? I'm interested in hearing all opinions, not trying to shut down someone I disagree with.

"safety is a huge stretch" : Millions of people listen to podcasts while driving. It's probably the most common time to listen. People skip the ads. Are you sure that's a stretch?

If it was free, you would be fine with it?

OK, but do you read every ad on every web page you visit?

Not react-native, and the port to Android will not be trivial.

Would you say the same thing to every other podcast app company (including Apple) and tell them to remove the 30 second forward button?

I don't view it as backlash. It's interesting and necessary conversation. I want to hear what the HN community thinks.

That is an interesting angle, but I can't see the similarity. Podcasts are open and freely available to download. People are already skipping the ads with a 30 second forward button. This app skips automatically.

It's not removing the ads. The ads are still in there. It skips over them. I think that many people are already pressing the 30 second forward button to skip. This app skips for you automatically, at exactly the right place. It saves t

Perhaps you misunderstood what the app does?

by adskipprod 7y ago
It's not a reporting system. I believe that idea has been tried and did not work. This uses all-new technology to find the ads and skip over.

Can you elaborate please? Apple's own Podcasts app lets you skip the ads with a button. This app does it automatically.

The only thing I can share is that it does not modify or trim the podcast. It downloads the podcast, finds the ads, plays it, and skips over the ads. The ads are still in there. After it skips the ads, you could manually skip backwards and

You are the perfect customer for this app. $1.99 :)

I can't tell how it works, because I don't want to create competitors. I don't see why Apple would have a problem with it. Their own "Podcasts" app lets you skip ads. This app finds the ads and skips automatically.

I see it as a meaningful discussion, not necessarily hate, but I see your point! I can't tell how it works, just that it is pretty cool!

by adskipprod 7y ago
I agree - thank you!

It's boilerplate - I'll update it.

Founder here: I think that many people already skip the ads using the 30 second skip forward button. I know I did before building this app. I'm also thinking about safety -- people driving their car and reaching for their phone to skip

Thank you. Which podcasts do you listen to?
27.
by adskipprod 7y ago
Well, I couldn't tell because I wouldn't want to create competitors! I don't think it will ever register a false positive. It's really that good.

It's not using Adblock Radio, though that is an interesting idea. All new technology.
