Blocking fail

Developers, the blocking function isn’t working.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for notifying us! This should now be resolved.

It’s a good idea and I hope it grows

It’s much more human to just listen to people

I think the experience feels more human for both the listener and the speaker

I really hope that this grows, I will tune in if you all want to get on there and (now literally), just speak your mind

Cheers!

Response from developer

Cheers to that! 🥂 There’s no algorithm for authenticity. Thank you for your kind review!

Brilliant idea, well executed.

Gistvox proves you don’t need a broadcast license, deep pockets, or a studio to have a voice. In today’s algorithm-driven, AI-saturated culture, your *story* is the only thing that can’t be replicated, generated, or told by anyone else. I love that GistVox provides a place to tell your stories, both big and small, like humans have for centuries… to learn, to grow, entertain, and change. The app is well-designed, the developers are anticipatory and responsive, and the UX is seamless. Can’t wait for the web app!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. Reading this honestly gave our team chills. You hit on exactly why we started Gistvox. In a world that feels increasingly automated and algorithm-first, we believe there is an irreplaceable magic in the human voice and the raw authenticity of a personal story. Hearing you describe the app as a place to "learn, grow, and change"—just as humans have done for centuries—is the highest compliment we could receive. We’re working hard to keep the UX seamless and the platform focused on you, the storyteller. And since you mentioned it: we are just as excited as you are for the web app! We’re putting the finishing touches on it now! Thank you for being part of this community and for reminding us why the "small" stories matter just as much as the big ones.

Brilliant idea, well executed.

Fun Idea, Needs Development

The app is fun but there are few opportunities for creators to thrive. This platform is perfect for ASMR, impressions, live broadcasts, collaborative mini-podcasts, and occasional ads to generate revenue. You could also offer a package subscription for creators who want to post more long form, and maybe an incentive to pay them back if they generate a certain amt of views. None of those things are accessible or heavily encouraged on the app. So much potential, but you aren’t leaning into what we already know works. The interface is also boring, which will fail to keep people on it for very long. I want it to succeed. But I also realize there are so many nonexistent features that would have launched this app into the mainstream a long time ago. You still have time!

UPDATE: under the context of this app still being in beta, my review was a bit harsh. I’m excited for the upcoming features and appreciate the response to my review. Praying for the best yall :)

Thank so much for this thoughtful review! We have many of the items that you mentioned coming soon. We've been in beta for the initial few months since going live, but we're working as fast as we can with a small budget and small team. Please stay tuned for many of these updates and more.
