Ratings and reviews

Want to love it. Interface is good. Takes a couple clicks to get used to. I'm going to have to ditch it for now. I listen to 8-9 hours of podcast at work. App intermittently pauses, will go back a minutes. But pauses randomly on head set or Bluetooth control. i have to stop working. Pull out my phone and hit the play button on the phone itself. Pause and play work when it hasn't paused itself. Happens 10-15 times per hour. Support said to keep an eye out for updates. Cleared data and cache.

It has lots of my normal podcast options but the layout is a little annoying when looking for new podcasts and episodes. Also, it starts our paying pretty well for listening (I've been paid up to 9 SATs per minute the second day I used it. Since then it stays at 1-2 per minute for only one hour of listening per day. Today I'm getting less than 1 per minute. At this point, I'd rather just stay with my former apps.

Generally a very good app. Can be somewhat confusing to navigate due to the layout, and it would be nice if the app were more transparent about when earning is available (like a notification when opening the app, for instance). I often have to wait a long time to start a new stream, sometimes several minutes, even when data connection is readily available. I still highly recommend it, because where else can you earn sats to listen to podcasts that other platforms charge for?
