I had not heard about that, but I'm glad for it. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I try to throw money at them, in a somewhat haphazard way. I'd do it a lot more consistently if I could just push a button in the app.

Being able to skip the ads would be a nice bonus, though I'll admit that I use the existing features to skip ad breaks extensively. (I still end up hearing enough that I'm familiar with the products, and even try to patronize them. In fact, I need some new socks...)

Haha, I know what you mean. I think almost everyone skips the ads to a certain extent. But you still end up hearing about them at some point. Some of my favorite podcasts are Lex Fridman, Tim Ferris and Andrew Huberman. So there is no way around hearing some "Athletic Greens" ads. And after a while, I actually bought some :D

Great to hear your feedback regarding tipping. Maybe we should prioritize this feature.

I'll admit, I'm very fond of PocketCasts, so it'll take rather a lot to get me to switch. But tipping is a feature I'd consider it for.

Ok, I added a vote to this feature for you in our internal feature request tracking ;) What do you love about PocketCasts the most?
