Field notes
The page says episodes are checked while the phone charges, at about a minute per episode, and that listeners can choose silent skipping, a chime, or a prompt. It describes a free tier with the player and playback features, while automatic ad skipping is part of Pro. The site also says shows, positions, and markers sync through the listener’s private iCloud; the app is not yet available to try.
