### 1/5 — Hasn’t removed ads

*2026-06-20*

I paid for lifetime to remove the ads and so far every single episode of DOAC has an ad right at the begining. What a waste of money.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback. We're sorry the ad-skipping didn't perform as expected. Pre-roll ads that appear right at the start of an episode, are an acknowledged technical limitation of the ad skipping approach; it requires a moment to process audio before it can act, and this is something we've optimised as far as currently possible, by pre-processing the first 5 minutes of an episode. 

We'd love the chance to make this right. Reach out to us at support@fluidcastapp.com and we'll be happy to help. We appreciate you giving FluidCast a go.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t skipped a single advert

*2026-05-12*

Subscribed to the Pro plan. Tried 6 different podcasts, every single one started with an ad and continued to play ads throughout every episode. Just awful.

**Developer response:** Hi KavanaUIK, thank you for the feedback. We're sorry the ad-skipping didn't perform as expected across those episodes. We've tested it ourselves and other users are seeing it work well, but it uses AI which, as noted in the app and description, isn't always perfect, and we're actively working on improving its accuracy.

We'd love the chance to make this right. Drop us a line at support@fluidcastapp.com and we'll extend your trial much longer, so you can give it a proper test with our support on hand. We appreciate you giving FluidCast a go.

### 5/5 — Ai

*2026-07-08*

Hey, I don’t have any other new devices so it would be cool if you can make a Mac version since I have M2 on that. I know this is a very selfish request, but you said that most of the AI features you can have unless you have the new AI chips. 
Opening up this application to MacBook Pro would further allow other users to have more AI features also curious if you will add more features for people who have pre ai chips like older iPhones 13 and below.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Good news: FluidCast is already on the Mac App Store, so you can grab it on your M2 Mac right now.

The AI features rely on on-device inference, which is why they’re limited to newer chips. But new features that don’t rely on Apple Intelligence will come to all devices, including iPhone 13 and older.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2026-04-07*

Useful app for all my podcast needs I enjoy it and is easy

### 5/5 — Yeah this is taking off

*2026-04-04*

The app works and functions perfectly, the website design also works well.

Perfect for people who are podcast junkies

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-01*

I highly recommend this app it’s amazing. I don’t always listen to podcasts, but this app is great because I find exactly what I’m looking for in one place!
