I'm using Google's but I don't really like it.

EDIT: is there anything that can sync with a linux podcast app (desktop)?

AntennaPod and Podverse are both really good.

+1 AntennaPod. Been using it for almost a decade :]

Absolutely. Just checked the stats in my app and I'm at nearly 5k hours.

Have you been transferring your statistics between devices?

[-] pnutzh4x0r@lemmy.ndlug.org 1 points 1 year ago

No. I usually start over on a new device.

Fair enough. It can be a pretty neat way to track playback time and it's also really easy to export your subscriptions along with it

Here's the screen but you can also sort by podcast

Do either of these offer ad skipping?

Auto ad skipping?

AntennaPod has a 30 second jump button that works quite well

For AntennaPod, there are fast forward and rewind buttons. You can set a preprogrammed duration for each button. I have my fast forward button set to 30 seconds to skip commercials.

In addition, for AntennaPod, you can set a skip x seconds on podcast start, so if the podcast normally has 2 minutes of ads, jibber/jabber upfront, you can skip it. Also same for the backend of the podcast you can skip x seconds of the end of the podcast. This provides a way to skip ads, smalltalk, or jibber/jabber at the end of a podcast as well.

Given all that, which is great, be aware that AntennaPod doesn't automatically skip ads on its own. You must press the preprogrammed duration fast forward button manually.
