Fountain: Podcasts & Music

Fountain is an awesome way to reward your favorite podcasts easily and help support lightning and bitcoin adoption. Onward!

Downloaded the latest version and now literally nothing loads. Shame because it was a great app

Unfortunately the text is still too small to read and does not adapt to iOS text size setting.

5 stars if you can fix the insane battery abuse of this app

I listen to between 2 and 6 hours worth of content each day on fountain. Love to see how it has evolved over time, great team and responsive support/feedback. Excellent proof-of-work!

I was excited to try a new podcast app and this fitted the bill from the description. However it’s not for me. Importing podcasts from another podcast app did not work, this was a tedious task to search and add all of the podcasts I follow manually. It doesn’t download new episodes in the way I expected. When I opened the app nothing downloads. I checked back in another podcast app and new episodes appeared immediately. There’s no “refresh” like other apps. I changed my settings to only download only over Wi-Fi, but after my internet was turned off for the night, I happened to check my Lock Screen and saw two new episodes of a podcast that were then downloading when I opened the app. You can’t skip first or last like other podcast apps either. You also can’t mark as played episodes, when you look at a podcast all episodes show regardless of what you may or may not have listened too. I’m sticking with PocketCasts but may check Fountain again in the future to see of there have been any updates. Strange layout with queue and episodes, surely this is the same thing? Couldn’t create playlists without premium.

I’m normally on fountain listening to my favourite shows on the motorway but the app isn’t letting me gain sats, I have sent emails and no reply the app is buggy and the service isn’t the standard it once was

It only works if you want to listen to podcasts about Bitcoin. Nothing else will download. I’ve pointed this out before and numerous updates haven’t improved it.

I really like your app and thanks for all the work you have done to provide this product. There are a few issues that as a non-technical user are really frustrating though, and hope you can look into them. 1. The phone gets super hot when using the app, hope it doesn’t damage anything or the battery. 2. The app suddenly closes or stops playing sometimes. Perhaps is the phone as a protective mechanism when it is getting too overloaded or overheated? I’ve no idea about this kind of technicalities. 3. You can see that you have started earning sats when listening to a podcast, when suddenly it rolls back to 0. Would be great if you can fix those issues.

This app does not work well on the iPad. When I try to scroll up to increase the speed 1.25x etc it won’t let me resulting in super slow podcast listening. Hope the devs fix this
