    Excellent app, but with some glaring problems. I successfully uploaded video content for about 6 months, but then I got noticed that my content was "incompatible" with the site. I was never able to fix this, so eventually moved to sound only, which works fine. I suspect that Spotify's algorithm doesn't like powerpoint converted to video.

    I use to love the app. Until Spotify bought anchor. Now the two podcasts I spent so much time working on are useless because I can't record in the app. Not to mention it literally deleted 2 major episodes I released early on in the first podcast and three major episodes in my second podcast. Looks like I'm gonna have to find another app or way to make my podcasts.

    I'm someone that didn't use the other functions as much like recording in the app and other stuff (however I think those are good to have). But what I did use most often is changing the little photo on episodes as my podcast is story based and different photos help separate my stories. I can't do that anymore. I was hoping it was a glitch and it's not. What happened to all the creativity?
