TL;DL The Podcast Player & App User Reviews

Top reviews

Not Working

Seems to require that I join X to use the app; otherwise, the site keeps sending me digital codes and then telling me that something went wrong. Sounded like a great idea before all the hassle

What podcasting needed

I dont want to sit and listen to 25 mins of a podcast when I know there’s 3 mins of insight burried in there that I really want to get to. TLDL finally gets me there!

Stops play when phone is closed

The only way audio play can be sustained with this app, it seems, is to keep the phone screen on. Don’t know who that makes sense for in a podcast player. It makes none for me.

There are some things I like here. Maybe I’ll check back to see if they’ve got the obvious things taken care of. For now, though, this was a short trial. The app is useless to me.

Doesn’t open

Installed, entered my phone number, which was weird... then the app quit. Went to open it again, goes to home screen for a split second, then quits. I’m using most updated iOS. Too bad, was really looking forward to finally bookmarking podcasts.

Wow updates are getting so good!

I thought this app was ok when it first launched but it keeps getting better with every new update! I can’t believe how fast the team releases new features every week. They even took my feedback of creating a way to subscribe to podcast shows and built it in 3 days!

Can’t wait for future updates, this team and app is going places :)

❤️TLDL

I have so many podcasts apps but this is no doubt the best one. Super efficient and social!

Such a great idea!

I’ve always wanted a bookmarking app for all my podcasts. This solves my biggest need! I’ve also found so many new shows I would never have considered if not for the featured feed! Excited to see this evolve!

Not usable

Audio clips don’t load

Response from developer

Hey! It might be a load issue depending on the WiFi/cellular connection. We’re still optimizing load times but it’ll get faster in the next few updates. You can email us at michael@graam.co and I’ll help you out!

the most innovative podcast app ever

ive casually listened to podcasts for years, but have always been frustrated with podcast apps and the way they’re organized. i can track down the few podcasts i already know, but discovering new ones felt impossible with so many options flooding the feeds. and then theres the problem of podcasts being so long, so i was always stuck listening to the same few podcasts, feeling like i was missing out on the podcast culture that so many rave about, stuck outside of it with no way to get in. TL;DL is the first podcast app ive seen that disrupts the usual model, and does so in very exciting ways. by allowing users to curate moments from podcasts they like, it becomes a hand-picked selection of thought-provoking content that is so easy to jump into and get lost in. ive found more podcasts using this app in a few days than years of using other podcast apps, and thats not even to mention the social aspect, with profile pictures, followers, likes, etc. its like a podcast discovery tool and social network rolled into one, but in a way that seems to encourage the best aspects of social networks, sharing and discovery. would highly recommend this app to anyone even passingly interested in podcasts, it’s a game changer.,.

Solving all my podcast woes

I hate rating things but this is great. I consider myself an avid podcast listener and the biggest issues for me have been finding new shows and actually sharing them with friends.

I’ve tried to share shows in the past but always failed to really find an easy way to share something from an episode that was relevant to my friends/colleagues.

Sharing is super simple, it only takes 30 seconds to make a book mark and title it. Then it generates a link you can send to them and they don’t even need the app to listen to it with the link!

It’s a good start.

They’re working on fixing an important problem in the podcast world. Podcasts are super powerful but some of them are just way too long and sharing ideas or concepts that are found in a show is extremely difficult at times. They found a way to solve that. Now it’s just time to make discovering podcasts just as easy by organizing all these clips people have made

super useful!

I always had a problem when trying to bookmark a certain part of a podcast episode I wanted to listen back to in the future or wanted to share with someone I thought it was relevant to.

All the other apps I had tried made bookmarking feel way too time consuming or difficult so I didn’t end up using them.

Now all I do is hit the bookmark button And it saves the start time and creates a link I can share to friends. I highly recommend this app and now i’m addicted!

Love it for my show!

Thanks for making this :) i’ve been seeing an increase in listeners on my podcast after sharing parts of my episode on the app.

Makes finding new shows so much easier

Apart from making my own bookmarks, I’ve been creeping on other peoples and it’s made finding new shows a lot easier

Love it

A cool way to find new shows and save your favourite clips. If you listen to a lot of podcasts, this app is a really fun time

so helpful for getting more out of my podcasts

I love tldl because whenever I feel like taking notes from a podcast, I just create bookmarks from within my existing podcast player. I use pocket casts to listen to podcasts and the in-app integration for making bookmarks on TLDL makes saving important things super easy. I can always go back and listen to my bookmarks on TLDL again. I've also discovered a lot of new shows I wouldn't have otherwise, thanks to this app.
