this is pretty cool! very nice of you to make it free. i have a couple of questions:

1) can you elaborate on how you're using audio fingerprinting for it? if the podcast host is the one reading the ads, does it still catch it?

2) how are you able to offer it for free? i imagine there has to be some cost bc some type of algo is involved (hosting, LLM processing, API calls, etc.) but i might be wrong.

3) i downloaded it and tried a podcast and the ads were not skipped. happy to share the podcast and episode for diagnosis.

4) you might be interested in downloading PodSkip. i just tried out the beta via testflight this week. it behaves similarly to your app

You gotta tap the ad finding button to find the ads, it won't automatically do so. The button beside the download button.
I see. Didn’t realize that, thanks! Care to answer the other questions?
