◇ 罗永浩(人称老罗),从事过多种职业,做过新东方英语老师,老罗英语创始人,牛博网创始人,锤子科技创始人,现任交个朋友科技CEO。老罗在英语老师时期,由于教学风格幽默诙谐并且具有高度理想主义气质的感染力,所以极受学生欢迎。很多学生盗录其讲课内容在大学的校内网站上传播分享,这些音质奇差的盗录内容在2003年左右流传到了互联网上,旋即以“老罗语录”的名义风靡大江南北,成为一个奇特的文化现象。 ◇ 本应用收录了老罗英语教师时期(2004-2012)的课堂录音,既有野马般的扯淡,也有深刻的人生哲理。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: NativePod at none against 老罗语录's shown. NativePod also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). 老罗语录's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
