Good idea but buggy
Too buggy to depend on and often doesn’t have a transcript for the show, in which case it’s a huge pain to highlight the desired text.
The final straw for me was being logged out and not being able to get back in with my phone number or any social media account credentials.

Great concept, but unreliable
Live the idea and was excited to use but the app freezes and/or won’t play podcasts so it takes away the whole post of using it.
I do enjoy that you can program a shortcut that “takes an Airr quote” just by using Siri. I also like the community section where you can see outher quotes people have bookmarked so if y’all get the bugs fixed it would easily be a 10.

Extremely buggy
This app could be great, but is ruined by bugs. Most recently, the app reset all my content and I lost years of saved airquotes. Support hasn’t responded. Don't waste your time with this app now that there are others offering the same features. Besides losing all my data, the app frequently freezes or crashes so you can only listen to podcasts when the app decides to work. It’s extremely frustrating.

Extremely Buggy
I was really excited to be able to take quotes from podcasts and upon trying the app I was very happy with it. That was until I started using it regularly. About once a day the app just completely loses my place in a podcast. Sometimes it happens when taking an Airrquote (and it just skips randomly to another episode and sets the one I’m listening to back to the beginning). Sometimes it happens when I get a phone call and the episode skips back several minutes when the phone call is over. And other times it just loses my place entirely when I leave it overnight. The skip forward 30 seconds is also very buggy, only skipping forward maybe half the time and then usually jumping back a few seconds at random times.

Love/Hate — I want to love!! :)
I never write reviews for apps because the opportunity cost is too high but I wanted to say something so hopefully the Airr team hears this and gets around to addressing the recurring application/implementation bugs before I’m forced to find a new app….I love you all and I love this app but it’s a love/hate relationship and I’d rather stay than go.
Okay, TL;DR
Been using Airr for a year now… I know it was basically first in the space and competitors have sprung up because I’m familiar with the interface and it was recommended by a friend I respect.
However, the app is so darn buggy it crashes CONSTANTLY, interrupts playback and deletes bookmarks I send.
Also, I want to love the sharing snippets feature for audio but the loading is so slow or nonfunctional I give up and end up not sharing my airrquotes…..
I know it’s hard to run a mobile app company in a space that’s eventually going to shift away from mobile (but you’ve still got time), and you’ve got lots of other concerns but nailing your core functionality so the UX it is less of a headache / heartbreak situation will ultimately improve the value of your company/app.
… I realize that was more than you probably wanted or needed and sorry for being on my soapbox but I love the premise of what you’re doing and I have been loyal and don’t want to get lost to churn or competition.
Good luck!
