    They use dark patterns to convert trial into subscriptions. It’s a opt out process not pot in- Be careful
  • Good content, narration needs work

    Pro: love the idea that I can consume in-depth articles while driving. There are other apps for listening to the news, but this is the best I’ve seen for long-form articles. Con (please fix!): Some narrators seem to act out the article, as if it were a performance. This takes away from the content I came here for. When I find myself listening to a dramatic reading, I close the app.
  • Robotic AI Reading, Not Great

    The idea is great… Audible for news. However, it’s very clearly AI reading these articles. Sounds robotic, distracting.
  • This is NOT Audm

    Narrow selection of periodicals, no access to written text and very expensive. I miss Audm!
  • Way overpriced

    I enjoyed this as a free app for a while. Just went in today and now they are asking me to pay. I have no problem paying but subscriptions are adding up and to add another $16.67/month ($199 immediately) subscription is simply unaffordable. Sad to go but as essential costs skyrocket, $16/month is a luxury I can’t justify.
  • Not Audm

    I was looking for an alternative to what Audm used to offer, but this isn’t it. For $200 a year they add 3-4 articles a day, ranging from 4–15 minutes long. It is somehow completely random and over-curated at the same time. There’s no way to sort by audio length if you’re looking for longform content. Also who is demanding Olivia Colman narrate an article about sad nurses? The confluence of celebrity worship and hard reporting on actual problems is unsettlingly dystopian.
  • Dump AI and bring back categorily tab

    I use this app mveru intermittently, mostly in long drives and road trips. The last time I used it, the UI was simple and allowed me to discover content by category. They've dumped a category tab/page in favor of AI... Like most needless implementations of over hyped tech, newer isn't better. Give me the categories page back
  • New AI feature doesn’t work

    My most fav app on the phone. Love the selection and hope they continue to grow the library with long essays. Thanks!!

    Computer generated reading of articles. Not pleasant to listen to.
