### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-09-28*

Allows download easily but requires purchase to stream more than 5 min. What a joke.

**Developer response:** I’m glad you find downloading easy. The streaming limit is there to support creators, making app take lots of time

### 2/5 — No form of file management

*2024-01-02*

Appreciate “No Data Collected,” so many developers stalking people for no required reason. This app needs some form of file management, the ability to make files/collections, the ability to rename a file, the ability to choose/add cover art etc. Solid file transfer ability which works well, does not remember last audiobook played which is a pain and makes no sense.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2023-06-20*

Not free.   Does hold place of files.    Doesn’t seem to support mb4.   The only thing I liked was loading from web browser worked for mo3

### 5/5 — Lecture MP3

*2023-02-28*

L’app qui permet de lire ses MP3 sans abonnement ni connexion, compliments et félicitations au développeur de cette petite perle !

### 5/5 — Arrêt automatique

*2021-04-28*

Bonjour 
Y a-t-il une fonction qui permet de programmer l’arrêt de la lecture au bout d’un certain temps ?

**Developer response:** Bonjour,

Il n'y a actuellement pas de fonction pour programmer l'arrêt de la lecture. Cependant c'est une demande qui a été formulée à plusieurs reprises et j'envisage de l'ajouter dans l'application dans le futur, je ne saurais toutefois pas vous donner de date.

Merci d'utiliser d'Aucast

Bruno

### 2/5 — Appli payante en réalité

*2021-02-24*

Je veux bien payer mais cette façon d’afficher une gratuité quand l’application devient en réalité payante pour les podcasts de plus de 5 minutes est détestable.

**Developer response:** En réalité ce système de limitation de 5 minutes permet aux utilisateurs de pouvoir tester l'application avant de l'acheter, c'est en quelque sorte un trial.
En effet Apple ne permet pas de créer de trial et oblige les développeurs à passer par un système gratuit -> payant comme ici que vous semblez ne pas apprécier au point de rabaisser le travail d’un développeur indépendant.

Vous préféreriez que l’app soit payante sans pouvoir la tester ? Ainsi le mot gratuit disparaitrait ?

De plus dans la description de l’app il est indiqué que vous pouvez écouter 5 minutes gratuitement.

### 5/5 — Très pratique

*2020-10-19*

Je cherchais une app pour écouter des fichiers audio et je la trouve très pratique ! 

Par contre, je me demande s’il y a une limite au nombre de fichiers qu’on peut télécharger ?

**Developer response:** Heureux d’entendre qu’Aucast vous soit utile. 

Vous pouvez ajouter autant de fichier que vous le souhaitez la seule limite étant votre espace disque disponible.
