I loved the concept of this app, the podcasts, the topics, the prompts everything is perfect. I also loved that this app allows me to start my own podcast without any difficulties but the only problem is that THIS APP LAGS SO MUCH AND THERE IS NO SMOOTHNESS IN USING THIS APP FEELS LIKE I'M USING THE WEBSITE BECAUSE IT WORKS SO SLOWLY AND LAGS SO MUCH 😭😭

Definitely improved, still not quite perfect with how smooth this app runs. Also in the notification Bell where there is a red dot that shows up. I really wish there was a way to only filter that area with replies to my own swells rather than invites to someone else's.

Decent app. It does what it was created to do. But, I'm not a fan of the UI. The design is too busy for my taste. I like apps that are more streamline, simplified and modern looking. The things I most dislike: the tiny print. I'll keep the app for now to see if the overall design improves with future updates.
