Podsnap is a podcast player that pairs playback with episode transcripts and marked segments. It can identify sponsor reads, intros, and cross-promos from transcripts, then let listeners skip a marked segment with a tap or have the app skip sponsor reads. Episodes still stream in full from their publishers, and users can report missed or incorrect markers. The player also supports subscriptions, playlists, downloads, auto-download rules, notifications, show notes, playback speed, sleep timers, and listening statistics. Segment skipping is free for the first 30 prepared episodes; Podsnap Plus is listed at $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year and covers up to 2,000 new episodes monthly under fair use. The developer says transcription runs on its private server, and Plus requires sign-in with Apple or Google. Without Plus, the app remains a full podcast player.
