I’m not so sure I’ll be sticking with
fountain_app (npub1v5u…n0v5) as my podcast client for long. The app seems less intuitive than Pocketcasts and it keeps on annoying me with the Fountain Rewind ad (a feature I don’t give a fuck about) no matter how often I tap on it and not being able to use a custodial wallet to use any of its payment features is a dealbreaker.
It’s also missing some features I’ve gotten to rely on over the years of listening to podcasts:
* No way of cutting silences from audio
* Speed settings don’t seem to work properly (2,25x in Fountain isn’t even close to 1.75x in Pocketcasts)
* I don’t want a Fountain account just be able to use premium features
* No listening statistics (see attachment)
* The app being proprietary
Any alternatives for nostr-compatible podcast apps?
I love the transcription and clip features though.
Not hating on their product. It seems I might just not be the target audience.
