Unique podcast app with voice memo

I listen to non fiction and technical podcasts and often I want to bookmark a spot to return too which is useful but not unique, other apps do this.

What is unique is the ability to add a voice memo at the bookmark, really helpful. I just wish there was a watch app and that it ran in stand alone mode, ie no phone required nearby.

非常好用,但是希望有改进

虽然作者已经好久没有更新过了,但是还是希望作者能加上直接添加rss链接,很好的app希望不要死啊🤔

很多播客搜不到

很多播客都搜不到,而且似乎无法通过RSS添加,不得不说这种限制是很不播客,甚至反播客的。

Love the recording feature

Pros: can record 20 second clips (now I forget I can’t do that for every app I use!) to make a notes on episodes, fave episode moments, create numerous podcast lists with different icons, rearrange lists, search for podcasts, see what you’re subscribed to. The recording feature and flexibility of the app is what sold it to me. LARGE podcast selection. Usually able to search within podcasts for individual episodes by description and title.

Cons: main issue is unable to easily share podcast episodes with others. I try to share a link, but it sends to the App Store (I think there is a way to send a link to Baucast’s site, but it’s not super easy; I understand why but it honestly is a significant con since the app is otherwise so interactive). Cannot search individual episodes (and sometimes even podcasts unless exactly phrased) in larger search engine, and browsing is limited. Might be nice to be able to record longer notes; problems rearranging lists especially when moving an episode down. Cannot close what is playing except occasionally via glitch. Sometimes has problems streaming.

So, Baucast is a bit glitchy and not always smooth, but it has SO many features and I love its variability. (I even enjoy changing the icon.)

Edit: Thank you for responding! I see that you have been periodically updating and improving, which is great. ^_^

Response from developer

Hello Elleoneriram, Thanks for using Baucast. We appreciate your preference on our app especially the audio notes and playlist, that's also our personal top of needs for a podcast player, great to know that you like them the same. We'd explain how the share function is working. When you are sharing an episode, the client-end generates a web link prefilled the parameters of the episode, if your correspondents have Baucast installed, once the link has been clicked, the episode should be opened directly by the app. If your correspondents don't have the Baucast app, they will open the web player hosted by the Baucast's website. Moreover, you can share your playlist. Similar to the episode, but via an XML file. Your correspondents could have your custom playlist imported on their Baucast app. You need to left-swipe the playlist item to reveal the Share action. So if you and your correspondents are all using Baucast, there should be no problem with sharing. But if you are looking for an inter podcast-players sharing, it's not so easy. Thanks for reporting the issues you had with the playlist, mini-player, and the glitchy, we will verify the causes and fix if there are problems on the code side. Also for the search, we've been looking for a solution, expect a better search experience later, we will see. But longer record notes is definitely a brilliant idea, we will put it onto our roadmap. Thanks again for sending us this long message! It's good to know our product helped your listening. Let us know if you have more problems by using Baucast, we will keep you updated for the bug fixing. Cheers, The Baucast team

不能用rss地址直接添加博客吗?

如题。我就想添加津津乐道而已,从castro找不到哪里可以export出来,copy进去此博客啊.....求助了

Response from developer

你好,在Baucast的Discover搜索津津乐道,正常是能找到该播客的。如果没有显示搜索结果,可能是网络问题,可以试试从分类的comedy进去看看。 如果想从Castro导出订阅数据,可以点左上角的setting按钮,然后拖到列表最下方,点user data,就能看到export subscriptions选项了。 如果还有其它问题,欢迎发邮件到kelvin@baucast.com与我们联系,谢谢

We need library export

Love the app! Could you possibly look into an export library feature. I would love to be able
To keep my library exported and even have different versions of it. I think library management is a key feature missing in modern podcast apps and I would love to see it in yours since I enjoy the rest of the experience so much.

We will support library export soon, thx for your reply

Crashes

The app crashes every time when I chose a playback speed the right after I clicked "done” button.
