### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app - finally easy podcast bookmarks!

*2025-12-12, version 5.5.9*

This is a very well thought out app. 

It has a slight learning curve so it might seem a bit strange at first but it’s very intuitive and powerful once you get the hang of it.  

My only gripe is that I REALLY want you to please release a version for macOS. Porting the iPad app to macOS isn’t so difficult anymore, and I’d be happy to help you do that if you want (for free)? That would take an already excellent app close to perfection for me!

### 5/5 — A favourite!

*2025-01-20*

Such a great, consistent app that is actually aesthetically pleasing as well.

Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing, glad you enjoy the app.

### 5/5 — Best audiobook/podcast study app

*2024-09-14*

I never write reviews. This is the only review I have ever posted. This app is so useful and powerful compared to similar. I find bookmarking essential for studying audiobooks and podcasts. I have used most of the top apps that support bookmarking and similar important audio-study features. This app is by far superior. To insure future development, I hope others give this app a look.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to write a review, I'm glad to hear you find the app useful.

### 5/5 — By far the best podcast app I’ve ever used!

*2024-02-20*

this is so well done! Highly customizable. reliable. Great feature set including ability to bookmark and make notes. I’ve tried probably it does other apps and nothing comes close.

**Developer response:** Glad you like the app, thanks for the review.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-12-01*

Have used for years! Bookmarking feature is best (and maybe only) in class, and speed change fidelity is premium!

### 5/5 — Very impressive capabilities

*2023-05-23*

Just beginning to use the power of this for capturing useful info from the many podcasts i listen to. This is a feature-packed app. Love it so far!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review I appreciate it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2023-02-15*

No nonsense podcast app! Love it!

**Developer response:** I appreciate it, thanks for the review.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, clean UI, and powerful

*2023-02-03, version 5.5.3*

Lots of functionality packed into a easy to use and clean UI. It’s not just a bookmark editor, it’s a complete podcast and audiobook app, and it’s better than anything else I’ve tried. 

No data being collected is a huge bonus. Pro version is worth it. You can tell this is the app the developer was looking for, so they made it themselves.

A couple highlights:

The fact that you can change the lock screen player buttons
The player with big buttons makes it really convenient on the go, no fiddling around with tiny buttons.
To the dev: I think the name and description may be limiting the apps reach. At first glance I thought it was just an app for adding bookmarks to podcasts before publishing them, but it’s so much more.

If I was to make a request, I’d like:

A true black oled theme
The ability to just add files to a folder straight in the files app, and have it appear in the app
All in all, I’m going to use this app for a long time

### 5/5 — Best podcast app

*2022-12-19, version 5.5.3*

Love the audio bookmarks and clips, and also the playlist features. Been using this for many years now. Keep coming back to it when I try another new podcast app.

### 5/5 — By far, the most USEFUL podcast app

*2022-09-12, version 5.5.1*

The book marking and notetaking features make it easy to harvest content from a podcast.
