So easy to use!
Worthy try, but still needs a lot of work
Most episodes included some content that wasn't in the emails at all, some of it old (e.g. the Queen alive & celebrating her jubilee; that was 2022). It didn't focus on top stories sometimes, giving more minutes to smaller ones (esp if it involved tech news) that were barely mentioned. The table of contents weren't even matching the content of the podcast many times - sometimes a story on the table was never even added to the audio in the end.
The one good thing about the app is the voice are great. I just wish they'd have a better script for the "host" to read (and stop saying "switching gears" so much, other pivot phrases exist yunno).
I wanted this app to work (really) but it just doesn't, not yet.
Response from developer
Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to write out this review. We took all your criticisms very thoughtfully and fixed all of these issues you’ve mentioned. I’m sorry that you had a few podcasts where the content didn’t actually match your emails. We found that one-off bug and resolved it. We’re also building new hallucination detection and verification checks to minimize these types of problems in the future. The “messy” part comes from our unique ability to digest all your newsletters, and provide a single daily digest of all your content, without repeating the same topics, removing ads, and intelligently ordering each chapter based on semantics and relevance. Relying on pure summarization leaves out too much and often lacks in quality. Hope you’ll retry using Jellypod and join the rest of users who use the app daily! - Pierson, Founder
Excellent from start to finish
How many newsletters do you subscribe to?
Since getting jellypod, I just listen to them while running on the treadmill and on my ride work.
I feel good about consuming some what I consider to be the best newsletters on internet from true experts. But before now they feel through the cracks due to my busy schedule and messy email.
I just have them sent to my jellypod now and am very pleased
Very cool, quality of life improvement tool
It fits into life really easily and made my morning routine that much more productive by not having to stop to consume the newsletters in my inbox.
