Skip forward function

I gave up on my Sonos speaker years ago because of poor compatibility with many of my audio apps. I connected to my old speaker again to see if the UI had improved at all, and in many ways it was a lot better! However, there's no skip ahead function in Pocket Casts. This is a real deal breaker because I hate ads and always fast forward through them. Are there any good free Android podcast apps that have this functionality in Sonos?

You’re most welcome. You’ll find all Sonos speakers sold currently will both accept a Bluetooth connection, but also share it with other Sonos devices on the network, whether or not they can ‘receive’ a Bluetooth signal. The original device takes the connection via Bluetooth, and ‘converts’ it to a line in, which can be shared.

Note that all devices will need to be either S1 or S2, and not both. Sonos devices can only ‘talk’ to devices of the same operating system. Unfortunately, your account information is lacking detail.

Apologies to ​@Michael.B , I misspoke. See the Bluetooth FAQ here.
