AntennaPod and Podverse are both really good.
+1 AntennaPod. Been using it for almost a decade :]
Absolutely. Just checked the stats in my app and I'm at nearly 5k hours.
Have you been transferring your statistics between devices?
No. I usually start over on a new device.
Fair enough. It can be a pretty neat way to track playback time and it's also really easy to export your subscriptions along with it
Here's the screen but you can also sort by podcast
+1 for Podverse, I switched about a year ago and it has been great.
Do either of these offer ad skipping?
Auto ad skipping?
AntennaPod has a 30 second jump button that works quite well
For AntennaPod, there are fast forward and rewind buttons. You can set a preprogrammed duration for each button. I have my fast forward button set to 30 seconds to skip commercials.
In addition, for AntennaPod, you can set a skip x seconds on podcast start, so if the podcast normally has 2 minutes of ads, jibber/jabber upfront, you can skip it. Also same for the backend of the podcast you can skip x seconds of the end of the podcast. This provides a way to skip ads, smalltalk, or jibber/jabber at the end of a podcast as well.
Given all that, which is great, be aware that AntennaPod doesn't automatically skip ads on its own. You must press the preprogrammed duration fast forward button manually.
I haven't used AntennaPod before but I really like Podverse.
