Ratings and reviews

I got this app to generate a podcast transcript. The resulting transcript was incomplete and unreadable, even after converting it from markdown to text, which required a separate app. I could see this being useful for organizing or searching podcast contents but that's not my use case. To their credit, they offered a free trial so I could figure this out without paying for a subscription first. Decent but not for me.

Promising app. The auto generated chapters are very useful to navigate long podcasts that don't embed them. But, and big but, the app doesn't allow setting episodes as played 😰. How are we going to migrate from other apps without this feature? This should be added ASAP by adding =1. Mark all episodes as played, 2 Select all above/below a certain episode and mark the previous/later episodes (very useful if you're at 400 out 1000 episodes on your previous player).

Paid for premium. Hoping it improves. Really need to improve the searching capabilities for new podcasts, maybe add filters , and don't limit a category to only 15 podcasts, cant scroll to see more or search. also can't get it to work with Android auto. The transcript which was the main reason I signed up works well, but this app needs work
