Loving my experience! ### 5/5 — Goated podcast app *2024-03-28* I have a really short attention span, so this app is great. ### 5/5 — GREAT Discovery Tool! *2024-02-20* I haven’t gotten too deep into the podcast world, but Vastly is a PHENOMENAL tool to help curate relevant information directly to my interests. And now, I’m a huge fan. Love Vastly!!! ### 5/5 — Scrolling that makes you smarter *2024-02-18* Great app to find the podcasts that you want and will learn from!! Uncovers a lot of great content that you didn't know existed. Amazing. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-02-15* I’m impressed with the UI of this app and how simple it is to navigate. It’s also a great idea for an app and it’s easy for me to find short videos that are of direct interest to me! ### 5/5 — TomasBrittle *2024-02-14* Honestly a super cool idea! It’s like Tik tok but better and more professional and productive. ### 5/5 — necessary app for anyone in business & tech *2024-02-13* as someone who is super passionate about the business world, this app has made me SO much smarter. it’s taken over a lot of my time spent finding articles or podcast episodes on subjects i’m interested in — now i just go to vastly. it’s like smart tik tok. it’s got the best podcasts in the game in a super easy to digest format. couldn’t reccomend more highly. ### 5/5 — What I have been looking for! *2024-02-13* High quality app with high quality business content. Perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs or anyone else that is trying to get inspired. ### 5/5 — Stellar app that’s way more than just podcasts *2024-02-13* Such an awesome way to discover new podcasts; I love not having to listen to the entirety of new podcasts and feel like I’m “speed dating” lots of new content every time I use the app ### 5/5 — Amazing podcast platform *2024-02-11* Now you can scroll around without feeling guilty ### 5/5 — Finally a platform to discover podcasts I ACTUALLY want to listen to! *2024-02-09* Vastly is everything I hoped for - it delivers a tailored feed based on my interests that both keeps me highly engaged and helps me find new podcasts and content! I love the short form video clips, they are such a perfect preview for helping me weed out pods I want to dig into more deeply. ### 5/5 — So engaging *2024-02-07* Great way to find podcasts after you get bored ### 5/5 — Vastly is amazing! *2024-02-07* This app changed the way I consume podcasts for the better. So great!!! ### 5/5 — Great for aspiring entrepreneurs *2024-02-06* Really love how the app shows me content tailored to high quality entrepreneurial advice and allows for me to sort by those sections as well. Super helpful when I am trying to learn something new but don’t want to spend time watching entire podcasts before committing to one. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-02-06* Wish this existed before! ### 5/5 — Upgrade your morning routine *2024-02-06* The content on this app is amazing. Highly recommend to anyone interested in getting smarter on entrepreneurship or investing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Skeptical of onboarding *2025-01-08* I selected « continue as Phone » when asked which account to use to connect and got asked for phone number verification without having used any of the app yet. Other options are to sign in use Google (recommended, but why?) or Apple. I wish there was a simple way to try out the app without commitment and without connecting to accounts or giving away my phone number. ### 2/5 — Maybe in six months *2024-08-25* Downloaded then deleted within five minutes. Got a sense of distrust. Personally, I prefer to know if the source feeding me info is vetted/legit. The app accessed my podcast library, and only 5 of 32 podcasts pulled into my Overlap Library, and are within their AI. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Privacy is extremely important to us. And we definitely look to vetted/legit sources for content. Hopefully if you try us again you'll feel very differently. ### 2/5 — More humanities content please *2024-08-20* This is a clever concept and interesting but the content is not tailored for humanities subjects, and the subjects even remotely related to humanities and liberal arts education is extremely skewed to the far political right (almost conspiracy theories). As an academic humanities scholar, I believe it is extremely important to present the public with content that engages with history, art, archaeology, literature, philosophy, the history of science, and modern languages. Humanities education is the saving grace of this world because it showcases different perspectives and I hope this app can work to develop more humanities content that expresses diverse opinions, cultures, academic discourses, and perspectives. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the note - our goal is 100% to showcase tons of different perspectives and we're getting better at that each and every day. It's a focus of ours! ### 3/5 — So cool, pretty buggy *2024-08-15* This app is awesome. Cannot think of a better way to browse and listen to podcasts - one may not exist. But the bugs are frustrating. Sometimes clips won’t play, others they’ll play without sounds or the for you will freak out happened when multiple similar queries were done. But this app is genius. ### 5/5 — Finally a guide to Podcasts! *2024-08-11* What took them so long to develop this? Podcast usage will never be the sam…they find the best of the best, curated just for my interests!Bravo!! ### 5/5 — I really love this app - saving time and turbo-charging learning *2024-08-04* This app allows me to find the right video segment in a sea of podcasts on Spotify. I can find the needle in the haystack. Heard about this app from YC newsletters. I absolutely love the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2024-07-28* This app is creative, informative, and a great alternative to traditional podcast listening. ### 5/5 — Fantastic way to hear what you need *2024-07-24* Overlap lets you cut out the unnecessary bits and get straight to the most important parts of big discussions ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC! *2024-07-24* Even better with update fix!! ### 5/5 — go to podcast app *2024-07-24* it’s actually crazy to me this didn’t exist before - i could NEVER find clips that were interesting or tailored to me, but now i can. i looooove the design and the way the app seems to know exactly what i want to listen to **Developer response:** Thanks so much! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The future of podcasting? *2024-07-23* I listen to hours of long form podcasts a day…this might be the way I consume podcasts going forward! It’s really well done **Developer response:** Love to hear it MochaRyan! ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2024-07-12* Overlap está increible! The best app for me to discover new podcasts and listen to short podcast clips (that I actually prefer). I Recommend mucho. ### 5/5 — Great podcast app *2024-07-10* Replacing Spotify for sure ### 5/5 — 10 out of our 10.
