This is a great podcast app. A simple, clean interface and the service itself is excellent for simplifying distribution. It's a little too simple; there are layers of menus to remember, making it easy to get lost. It's amazing for podcast creation (insufficient as a podcast player). I don't find it easy to access my assets, and found I had no choice, I had to use the website to fully configure my podcast to my satisfaction. The app can't do it all. Still, highly recomended and nearly perfect.

l had an issue with patchy recording with long gaps of silence inbetween my non-stop speech. However, upon contacting the support team, they were able to resolve the issue promptly. A simple uninstall and reinstall solved the problem. Great app, easy to record and edit audio, lots of free music and sound effects to use. Thanks a lot for the access to publishing sites as well. A gem of an app with a great team working to keep it rated 5 star. Thanks for your service!

The first time I used it, it was fantastic. I managed to record with a friend, edit and create the episode. Ever since however, we haven't been able to get the record with friends feature to work. It will start recording the call and then at the one minute thirty second mark I can no longer hear the person on the call with me. We have tried three times and looked into every possible problem. Our wifi is fast, we are both on our phones, we have the latest version of the app.
