Hi everyone. I was under the impression, that this app was ad free, but all podcasts are spammed with repetitive and very annoying ads, sometimes in 10 minute intervals. What’s going on, what options do I have? Thank you in advance. Julia

App version: x.y.z (state whether from Google Play/F-Droid/Custom built APK)

Android version: 5.x (Please mention if you are using a custom rom!)

Device model:

Expected behaviour:

Current behaviour:

First occurred: (e.g. about x days/weeks ago)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. This
  2. Then that
  3. Then this
  4. Etc.

Environment: (Settings you have changed (e.g. Auto Download). “Unusual” devices you use (e.g. Bluetooth headphones). Did you select another media player?)

They are being inserted by the podcast publisher / host and not by the AP app. Use any other app and you will hear the same. My work around is to use the skip controls on my Bluetooth earphones / speaker to avoid them though that works better if you download the episodes rather than stream them.

Some podcasts offer an ad-free feed for supporters. I support a couple of my favorite podcasts that way, which helps them pay the bills, provides me an ad-free listening experience, and they sometimes provide extended or bonus episodes to supporters.
