I used to earn sats
I heard about fountain on a bitcoin podcast so started to use it to earn a few sats. It all worked great until February this year when I stopped earning! No idea why! I think lots of apps find they need to make money, so push paid for premium versions, but not everyone can afford to subscribe to multiple apps. Bit disappointing after early promise.

Hear me out for a minute
This pod player is very nice, and cross platform. But it is built on a protocol called nostr, and although it isn’t required, you should create a nostr account first.
Nostr is a social platform, that houses lots of types of apps. Mostly a social media feed. But also apps like this. If you have an accounts and log into this with it, you can comment on podcasts in app and it will share to your feed automatically.
So as a podcast player it’s “good”, and improving, but if used properly it can become so much more and starts to make more sense. Try it , I like it

Video Podcasts
Works with video podcasts, but does not support chapters in them (neither embedded nor via RSS tags).
JUST USE THE WEBSITE THIS APP SUCKS!!!
I SEE WHY THE RATINGS ARE SO LOW ON THIS APP. THIS THING SUCKS. THE SERVICE DOESNT SUCK BUT THE APP IS A MUCH WORSE EXPERIENCE THAN THE WEBSITE. CAN’T EVEN FIND THE AUDIO CONTROLS EVEN AFTER ASKING AI. THIS THING IS TERRIBLE. THE SEARCH SUCKS TOO.
reinstalled and works now
1/29/2026 working now
Free Bitcoin
Get paid in bitcoin to listen to podcasts you were already going to listen to… how could you beat that!?
Make Fountain Great Again
Buggy as hell- crashes all the time, seldom works when in Airplane mode, so many other issues. I love the mission but this app has developed serious reliability issues. Can we stop adding features until you get the basis right (again)???
Earning is broken
Haven’t earned anything for over a month and a half and the withdrawal feature is not straightforward and has my data frozen. Been using this app 3 years and I am about to find another.
The best podcast app
Get away from the mainstream. If you are a bitcoiner then this is a must
Could be way better
Consistently not payed the already extremely low rewards supposedly earned
Key features broken
Play queue broken, episode management broken, OPML export missing
Gave it 3 plus years. Just Done!
Done. I tried for over 3 years using this app regularly. It just doesn’t seem to work anymore on a regular basis. Although I must update and say some things have improved since my last review a month back. But after 3 years of bugs I’m just used to another app so called it quits after having a better experience elsewhere past few weeks. But I love the mission! I hate that it’s at this point. I will likely try again in future but I need a break!

It hasn’t got better. It’s worse :(
I love fountain and the mission! But I have now tried everything, including buying a new model phone. Fountain makes my iPhone burning hot. No other app does this! Literally. It’s done this for years and I now have confirmed it’s not phone issue it’s the app. I can’t risk using anymore :(
Also app doesn’t work well and randomly I get error messages, and get a response 10 days later saying my wallet was locked and not Even discussing the multiple errors. It’s finally come to point I deleted app off my phone. I tried by can’t do it anymore..
Also hate the switch to NOSTR. All friends followed disappeared and bugs 24/7. Finally giving up after trying for 3 plus years

Amazing app! Love to get all my regular podcast from Apple there and I’ve discovered amazing shows. Only hic is the sats are not working on my app, not sure why. Keep the good work Fou tain Team, you’re doing an amazing work

I go to search for a podcast and it just says something went wrong. I click the retry button and nothing happens
Broken features
Play queue broken, episode management broken, OPML export missing
Everything Wiped!!!!!
Did a simple update and it’s completely wiped everything. I’ve lost every podcast I’ve ever listened to. On top of that, there is no way to contact the developer for help. Been to their website, it just breaks down and no contact into here either. What a complete joke of an app!!
Pas d’intérêt
Pas d’intérêt, plusieurs jours d’écoute zéro sat. Je retourne sur les plateformes classiques.
Not a fan of recent update
I’m unable to determine when I am or am not earning sats while listening, please fix
