Doesn’t work

Must have tried getting this to work for 5 straight days but no luck whatsoever. It collects your Google sign in info and then stops

Response from developer

Hi there - very sorry to hear this. It sounds like the integrity check (we use Apple’s AppAttest platform) is failing on your device. Is the device perhaps jailbroken or modified? If not, if you would please reach out to us at support@metacast.app, we would love to understand the problem deeper.

Kapitel und Transkription einfach klasse

Diese App sticht auch der Masse der Podcast-Apps durch KI-generierte Transkription und Kapitelmarken heraus. So macht es wieder Spaß auch längere Podcasts zielgerichtet zu hören.

An der eine oder anderen Ecke kann die Benutzeroberfläche noch ein paar praktische Zusatzfunktionen vertragen. Dennoch 5 Sterne für das kleine Entwicklerteam rund um diese App.

Hidden Gem

I am a heavy podcast listener and I have used so many of the podcast apps. Metacast is my everyday app now. The transcription function is great. The UI design is brilliant. The membership fee is so affordable. It would be 5 star plus if the transcript synchronisation could be further improved.

Turned me into a Podcast lover

I was never a bit podcast fan, but I downloaded this app because I wanted to support the creators. A couple months later and I’m listening to more podcasts than ever, thanks in big part to Metacast.

My favorite feature is the simple interface with no recommendations or feeds, just the stuff I want to listen to. The new chapters feature is a game changer, makes it super easy to get to the stuff I actually want to listen to.

Great job team!

Love the Metacast app!

This app makes it so easy to save notes and easily jump to my favorite learning moments whereas before I would have to keep pausing the podcast and so I can type in my notes.
Now I get to listen and enjoy!!!
I also love that I can share important parts so easily!
Metacast makes listening to and learning from podcasts effortless and fun!
