You’re probably thinking of Overcast. Marco, the developer, calls the feature smart speed. It’s great.

Damn. Not sure why it's so tough to copy, the key aspect seemed to be choosing how long a gap is skipped that none of the free software versions have. That doesn't seem like a difficult feature to add nor one likely patentable but I'm hardly an expert.

Thanks.

Pocket Casts has it, too.

I'll have to check it out. I did not know that.
