  It would be awesome if you could untick chapters in the chapters list, which you want to skip, while playing a podcast.
  Castro has this feature and I used it regularly.

  Thank you for your suggestion!

  I’ve added it to our list of feature requests. Features are considered by our developers for every release based on the number of requests we receive for that feature.

  +1 (ex Castro user who never knew it had this feature, but it sounds super useful)

  Thanks for your feedback about skipping chapters in an episode! At this time, the feature to listen to specific chapters in an episode is only available to Pocket Casts users with a Plus or Patron subscription. This is called preselect chapters. This will only appear if the podcast has setup chapters in their RSS feed, and the app has one of the subscriptions active.

  Thanks @staff-eleanor. I love the feature. I would highly recommend ppl upgrade to the get the extra features, plus you’ll also get the bookmarking feature which is awesome. You can just try if for one month if you like to see if it’s useful. 😍
