What users are saying

1. The UI is also inconvenient; I want access to a list of creators I subscribe to from the front page, rather than having to click through multiple menus to find the list.

2. Just not nearly as convenient as having access to an app.I like being able to download the audio that I am subscribed to, but the audio tab crashes most times I try to open it.

3. For example when I get a comment on a post, there is no way to find that comment, I have to go to the website which makes having the app pointless.

4. Sometimes it loads everything no problem, but more often than not I end up repeatedly closing and reopening the app while I struggle to access posts that won't load or content that won't play.

5. It really feels like it's in early development, but it's been YEARS.Last update messed up voting in polls! Artist puts polls out for voting fav songs, as many as we like.

6. Also, final note really, but theres a small bug where every audio podcast cuts off the last 3 or 4 seconds of an episode.

7. If I click a link inside a post and then try to go back, it takes me to the top of the homepage and I lose my place in the feed.

8. It's like just a bunch of notes that happen to be chapters and if you find the beginning of the book great if not sucks for you.

9. It will no longer play until I play a different post and then it might start working again, although I've had it start the wrong post when I hit play on one.

10. On Apple and Android devices it randomly glitches and restarts episodes or completely freezes and you have to go back and search for where you left off and restart the episode.

11. It takes a long time to load even just comments on posts, let alone posts with larger media files.
