Cute and works!
I really like this app. It’s very aesthetic and cute, so that alone has me sold, lol
it’s worked well so far :)

Where has this been all my life
I don’t normally write reviews but after using this free app and seeing the one bad review, I felt compelled. Not only do you get curated bites from other podcasts with a narrator, it learns from you preferences and allows you to listen to whole podcasts. I think this is the future of podcast apps.
Fantastic idea, mediocre execution
What a great app with an amazing idea. But the app is just not enjoyable to use if you’re used to Overcast, Pocketcasts or Castro.
It’s missing loads of features those apps provide and makes this app feel slow, clunky and unenjoyable when you’re navigating or listening.
Please add shorten silences in the playback options.

Slows down phone
This app is EXTREMELY slow and unusable at times. Slow to update lists. Slow to search. And slows down the rest of my phone. I suspect they’re running any AI inferencing locally on your mobile. I have an iPhone 11, so this phone doesn’t have the GPU for that kinda thing. Trashing this app, in search of a new one.

No thanks
The very first podcast clip I opened turned out to be a couple of bros pretending Trump’s idea to buy or seize Greenland makes sense. No thanks.
Great idea!
I love the playlists of short podcast clips. All the best bits in one place, o one of the annoying filler chat. Amazing!
Great idea, not intuitive to use
I get the idea here, and I’ll continue to follow my chosen Hark lists, but the app really needs to make it easier to queue up, organize, and play the gems it helps me find.
No signs of the stability issues others observed last year, so hopefully those are ironed out.

Garbage
Doesn’t work
One Major Flaw
This app has one major flaw; it doesn't automatically move onto the next episode when you've finished one. This - to me - is a fatal flaw in a podcast player.
On a brighter note, it looks gorgeous and the snippets of podcasts is a good idea.

A fun way to explore
There are tons of podcasts and it’s next to impossible on other apps like Spotify to explore them. Hark is an easy way to discover new shows through their playlists - probably the easiest way to discover new shows on an app. And, they have a British host who has a soothing voice.
Great concept!
It’s a bit different in that you can hear curated snippets of podcasts you might not normally listen to. It’s a nice way to broaden your podcast bubble! I think there is some work to do on navigating to the curation you want but it’s improved a lot and adds to my “interesting things I heard today” significantly 😀

Best podcast app!
I love the curation aspect of this app! I’ve learned so much about things I never would’ve heard of otherwise, and I’ve also discovered shows that would’ve been a mystery! Download Hark :)
Brilliant Idea
I LOVE Hark. I think it’s a truly brilliant idea and something that I hope blows up in the near future. The Daily Harks are topical, informative, and digestible. The other Harklists are also super interesting and cover a wide range of topics. You can learn a lot about anything in less than 30 minutes! Looking forward to seeing this company grow - perhaps some Hark original content??? :)

Not working
Flashed and closed after open the app for 5 secs…
Great idea, a bit unresponsive
Just started to use the app. I love the ux and the novel idea. The app is a bit unresponsive at times but I’ll stick around for a bit and see how it goes.
the best looking podcast app
I really like the concepts here. with some updates and more features, it will easily become my primary podcast app.
Cumbersome interface and poor listening experience
Interface is hard to navigate and not intuitive. Even worse is that podcasts consistently quit abruptly several minutes before the end and there’s no way to play the remaining content. Frustrating!
Liberal Bias - worthless app.
This app is essential unusable with how far left each political clip is. You can't get any curation other than typical liberal CNN / MSNBC talking points.
Biased Progressive Groupings
In yet another not-surprising media bias, this supposedly objective podcast support system does its woke, progressive, spineless duty as a pretend objective app to share and promote immoral and subjective content that only a very select group of pedophiles, elite fascists who hold up black men and Americans like carrots for votes and toxic feminists who destroy their own children would support. If you’re looking for at least unbiased, objective journalistic groupings of the millions of podcasts out there, won’t happen here. If you want a forced agenda of ideas grouped together in a way that forces you to believe a biased set of exaggerations and opinions from an elite group of speakers who don’t know babies are humans and men have penises and women have vaginas then this is for you. If you expect a grouping of ideas and news and opinions that stretch across the multitude of worldviews and the majority world view of hard/working Americans who understand the basic tenants of humanity and morality, don’t bother. If you’re looking for the top podcasts in the world - which are almost entirely created by conservative men and women of all races and religions, you won’t find it here. You will find your typical biased progressive news groups spouting opinion rather than journalism as they’ve trained and claim to do. And as an award/winning journalist, I find this most appalling and so should you. We deserve apps and makers that provide equal opportunities for informed choice and information. Communist China made this app with Tik Tok.

Great idea
Snippets of podcasts that are interesting and thought provoking. Really enjoy using this app when on a coffee break when WFH as a normal podcast usually too long!
