Too expensive. Also it too often didn’t work for legitimate articles
Love recast. I load up articles at work and I can listen on my way home. Saves loads of time—and it’s like I have my own personal news team to explain anything to me.
Recast is a game-changer for anyone who wants to stay informed but doesn't have the time to read. The audio podcasts are well done, and the app is intuitive and easy to use.
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL ‼️
It doesn’t seem to work that well. I feel like I am forever encountering bugs that either don’t create the recast or gives me error messages.
Without a subscription you can pick or search your articles. Just what I want cluttering my phone an that feeds lots of content that I don’t want.
Subscribed for the 7 day Pro trial. Kept telling me I needed to be a pro subscriber or the recast would just fail. Tried multiple sources. I’ll stick with Matter or Readwise.
I read about Recast and was excited to give it a try. I immediately downloaded and tried sharing some articles I had written… failed nothing happened. It just coughed on them. I gave up. The user interface really is confusing and I was not getting app feedback to what I was trying to do. Found out later in an email from them that it’s was because some platforms are considered premium. Ok great… do fix your app so it tells you that. Don’t email me separately about it. Finally, I did try again after I found out about the premium deal so I submitted some articles to it that were supported. The recast feature itself really appeared to be a playback text to speech. Not a discussion. I was disappointed. I thought it world be more than text to speech.
The service itself is awesome, and the pro features are worth the cost, especially if you’re using it to learn a lot of new information related to your career, which is what I’m doing. I’m really hoping they expand to PDF’s soon, which would make it even more valuable. The app, however, is currently hot trash. I’m using the latest model iPhone and iOS versions, but still, while listening to one thing, I can’t do anything (remove, archive, view transcript, change to another recast, etc). I’m really hoping this is addressed soon in app updates!
Get the premium and then listen to the most dense prose as a quick conversation between authors.
