About this app

Castria is the podcast app that skips the ads for you. Press play and the ads, sponsor reads, and commercial breaks skip themselves. No fast-forwarding, no guessing where the show comes back. Just the show.

Premium subscriptions remove an app's own ads, but not the ones inside the episode. Castria skips those, and skipping ads on your phone is free.

Around the skip is a full podcast player: playlists, offline downloads, AI summaries, searchable transcripts, and sync across your devices.

TOP FEATURES

• Ads skip themselves: on every episode, hands-free, from the moment you press play
• You stay in control: see every ad Castria found and why, keep a sponsor you want to hear, or turn skipping off in one tap
• AI episode summaries: see what an episode covers before you commit
• Tap-to-jump topics: go straight to the part you came for
• Searchable transcripts: read along, search any word, tap to jump to that moment
• Offline downloads: ad-skipping still works with no signal, and each show can auto-download, keep the newest few, or delete after playing
• Playlists: build your own, in any order you like
• Bring your shows: import from another app with an OPML file, or preview a show before you follow it
• Sleep timer, speed up to 5×, and trim silences
• Resume on any device: phone, tablet, and the web on one account
• See your time saved: the minutes and ads Castria has skipped for you, by day, week, and month

For serious podcast listeners: the more you listen, the more time you get back.

The core is free: ad-skipping, the full player, and the AI features. And Castria shows no ads of its own.

CASTRIA PREMIUM (optional, with a free trial)

• Smart playlists that fill themselves
• 20 GB of cloud storage for your saved episodes

FAIR TO CREATORS

Castria plays the publisher's own episode file and skips the ad segments as you listen, the same as fast-forwarding by hand. We never modify or re-host the audio.

Don't interrupt what you're doing just to fast-forward through an ad. Castria skips them for you.

Castria Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly through Google Play. Cancel anytime in Google Play's subscription settings.
