Better Free Options

It’s a great concept but it always feels like it’s repeating itself over and over and over again. There are infinitely better options out there now, especially NotebookLM

Honest feedback, and fair — repetition has been the app's biggest weakness and it's what I'm focused on improving. Email me at nate@castifyapp.com and I'll refund you in full; I'd also genuinely love to hear what the alternatives do better so I can close the gap.

No Free Trial

I tried to do the free trial and it charged me up front. My card declined the charge but it's lame that you advertise a free trial and then automatically bill your users without actually giving the free trial to check out the app. Disappointed.

I'm sorry — you should never be charged upfront on a trial, and I want to figure out what happened. Since the charge declined you shouldn't be out any money, but email me at nate@castifyapp.com and I'll double-check and make it right either way.

Fake. Is anybody subscribing beware

I'm sorry the app let you down — I understand the frustration when it doesn't deliver what you expected. Email nate@castifyapp.com and I'll refund you in full, no questions asked.

Scam app

I’m an indie author sometime I like using apps like this to hear about my story’s from another angel and everytime I tried to listen to the podcast it cut it off 2 minutes in even after I paid for the subscription I tried reaching out no one got back to me honestly part of me wants to sue for my money back

I'm sorry twice over — for the podcasts cutting off, and worse, for your emails going unanswered. Please email nate@castifyapp.com with "REFUND" in the subject line so it can't get missed, and I'll send your full refund right away. Hearing your own stories from a new angle is exactly what this app should be great at, and you deserved better.

lies about free trial

robbed me of my money, will change my review once i get my money back from my free trial that literally did not clock in.

Stay away.

Any reviews above one star must be fake. This app DOES NOT WORK. Don’t download. There are better options that do the exact same thing. Wouldn’t be surprise if they’re doing a cash grabbing scheme.

I understand why it feels that way when the app fails on you. If it didn't work, that's my responsibility to make right: email nate@castifyapp.com and I'll refund you in full. And if you're willing to tell me what went wrong, I'll use it to fix things for the next person.

What the..

What are these celebrity hosts? Why would you focus on them instead of having more likeable AI hosts that actually sound like a podcast? Andrew Tate and Epstein… why would you ever think that is a good idea? The app is so slow to generate as well and mispronounces half of the words I try to get it to talk about. Terrible

Waste of money

If you upload anything semi long it just takes like 10 minutes to generate and says they were unable to create a transcript

Got scammed

I did the free trial and it charged me regardless

Bad

This app generates 40-50 minute podcasts when you only want 5 minutes, and it repeats the same stuff like 10 times. Plus, the sound quality of some voices is terrible.

Free Trial My Butt

It only played 10 seconds then said free trial up. Who the hell gets know if an app is worth paying with only 10 seconds of use???

Promising but flawed

The idea of this app is great, and I like how the deep research podcast setup works. My main issue is just that the app is quite unstable. Sometimes podcasts I’m trying to generate just won’t generate, sometimes it’ll say they’re 30 seconds long or something and I won’t be able to use the playback bar since it gets to thirty seconds and keeps going for the duration of the podcast (in which case pausing the podcast also restarts it), and the fact I can’t delete podcasts I’ve generated and have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the my podcasts playlist each time is annoying. The price for the subscription does beat the other more refined versions currently on the market but the app frustrates me enough that even with that I don’t think I’ll get another subscription to the app unless it’s made substantially more stable and user friendly.

totaler mist

ich habe mir das jahres abo für ca. 30€ gekauft aber die erstellten podcasts verschwinden einfach. ich kann die app nicht über meine apple id geräteübergreifend verwenden. ich musste die app einmal löschen und nach erneutem installieren wurde mein abo nicht anerkannt. 30€ wurden somit einfach in den sand gesetzt. abo direkt gekündigt und app gelöscht. ich komme damit überhaupt nicht weiter.

Erstellen von Podcast geht nicht

Premium abgeschlossen und die meiste Zeit geht das erstellen von Podcasts nicht. Scam würde ich sagen. Nutze jetzt eine andere App die funktioniert. Sonst ist die App gut aufgebaut, aber eine hübsche App bringt mir nichts wenn das Keyfeature nicht geht. Bitte beheben!

Not working

Useless

I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Email nate@castifyapp.com and I'll refund you in full — and if you can share what went wrong, I'll do my best to fix it.

No support. Paid for a subscription. Podcasts locked.

I paid for a year subscription and my app/account doesn’t work. No support, no help, no “redeem subscription”. It lets me listen to about a minute before locking the rest of the podcast. Useless

Response from developer

Paying for a full year and getting locked out after a minute is unacceptable — and so is not being able to reach anyone about it. Email me directly at nate@castifyapp.com: I'll restore your access immediately or refund the entire year, whichever you prefer.

Short

Can only get 30 second of podcast for free

Have to keep repaying?

I paid for a yearly subscription that should have ended in February of next year. I went to login and it logged me out and is now trying to charge me for another year and keeps looping in my payment screen because I refuse to pay for something I already paid for. I reached out to app support and sent a email to the contact listed and still have not received a response. Loved the app when I could actually get on it but now that everytime I close it, it requires me to resubscribe is beyond frustrating…

Ability to delete a podcast

I don’t see an option on how to delete a podcast? Other than that it’s great.

Thanks for the feedback! You can delete podcasts by swiping left on them in your library. We're working on making this more intuitive in future updates. Appreciate you using Castify!
