I just ignored them. It’s free and most of the things in the app are free, in fact I have barely scene anything which you need credits for (which you buy) and I’ve just been creating podcasts for free which is amazing. The only things I don’t like is maybe some credits you can get for free for like spending time on the app in case you want to try something that needs them and the ability to make longer podcasts or make playlists of them? Anyway I really like it ### 4/5 — 歴史 *2026-09-05* 結構いい ### 4/5 — Good *2026-09-03* Good ### 3/5 — sssss *2026-09-03* Ffff ### 3/5 — Пока не очень… *2026-04-30* К сожалению, лучшая языковая модель, Gemini, не работает. ### 2/5 — Не стоит того *2026-03-27* Бесполезно, если хотите сделать какую-то выжимку из ютуб подкаста просто пишет общими словами и все ### 1/5 — Не работает ничего !!!! *2026-03-09* Отвратительно ### 1/5 — Не покупайте и тратьте время *2026-03-08* Абсолютно глючная и нерабочая программа.
