## Hark Audio Description
Hark is a new way to experience the best of podcasts. Time Magazine included it in its "Best Inventions of 2021" list and Hark won the "Vision Award" from American Public Media for being the experience "most likely to reinvent journalism and media."

Here’s how it works: Hark editors curate genius podcast moments into ‘Harklists’ - podcast mixtapes - that let you discover new voices, stories, perspectives… and new podcasts!

We create Harklists on everything from “History’s Most Audacious Heists,” to “Unleash Your Inner Optimist,” “NBA Weekly,” “Little Known New York Food History,” “Celebrating Joan Didion” and so much more.

Every week, you’ll receive “Your Weekly Hark” - a Harklist of podcast moments curated just for you. 

And of course, you can use Hark to listen to all of your favorite podcasts too. Hark is an easy-to-use, full-featured podcast player that lets you choose your listening speed, create a queue, pick up where you left off and listen on CarPlay or smart speakers.

## Hark Audio Reviews in United States

### *---- "Slows down phone"
This app is EXTREMELY slow and unusable at times. Slow to update lists. Slow to search.  And slows down the rest of my phone. I suspect they’re running any AI inferencing locally on your mobile.  I have an iPhone 11, so this phone doesn’t have the GPU for that kinda thing.  Trashing this app, in search of a new one.
-- la-flor, 2025-08-14

### ****- "Great idea, not intuitive to use"
I get the idea here, and I’ll continue to follow my chosen Hark lists, but the app really needs to make it easier to queue up, organize, and play the gems it helps me find.

No signs of the stability issues others observed last year, so hopefully those are ironed out.
-- debh, 2024-07-04

### ***** "A fun way to explore"
There are tons of podcasts and it’s next to impossible on other apps like Spotify to explore them. Hark is an easy way to discover new shows through their playlists - probably the easiest way to discover new shows on an app. And, they have a British host who has a soothing voice.
-- mauricegoldwater23, 2024-01-30

### ***** "Best podcast app!"
I love the curation aspect of this app! I’ve learned so much about things I never would’ve heard of otherwise, and I’ve also discovered shows that would’ve been a mystery! Download Hark :)
-- tomdeford, 2023-10-18

### ***** "Brilliant Idea"
I LOVE Hark. I think it’s a truly brilliant idea and something that I hope blows up in the near future. The Daily Harks are topical, informative, and digestible. The other Harklists are also super interesting and cover a wide range of topics. You can learn a lot about anything in less than 30 minutes! Looking forward to seeing this company grow - perhaps some Hark original content??? :)
-- rizzarizza86, 2023-09-20

### *---- "Not working"
Flashed and closed after open the app for 5 secs…
-- vacuumguitar, 2023-03-13

### ****- "Great idea, a bit unresponsive"
Just started to use the app. I love the ux and the novel idea. The app is a bit unresponsive at times but I’ll stick around for a bit and see how it goes.
-- swellsurfee, 2023-02-04

### ****- "the best looking podcast app"
I really like the concepts here. with some updates and more features, it will easily become my primary podcast app.
-- earth.and.dirt, 2023-01-19

### **--- "Cumbersome interface and poor listening experience"
Interface is hard to navigate and not intuitive. Even worse is that podcasts consistently quit abruptly several minutes before the end and there’s no way to play the remaining content. Frustrating!
-- no longer user 1, 2023-01-19

### *---- "Liberal Bias - worthless app."
This app is essential unusable with how far left each political clip is. You can't get any curation other than typical liberal CNN / MSNBC talking points.
