Brenna Baucum (ID: 0000002eb41183ce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/21/2023 I use Recast a dozen times a week for professional articles I don't have time to read. This app buys me time, which is very valuable as a business owner.

Beata Bielowka (ID: 000000a02c1d22ad) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2023 Very good app for saving time in reading, but we miss the Spanish version

Jerry Skids (ID: 00000089d4aef034) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/06/2023 Really cool app. As someone who enjoys banter discussing a topic, this one is a lot of fun and I get a lot of use out of it. Would love to extend these podcasts a little longer and even maybe give the option to add "AI Discussion" of the topic, but this is in its infancy and only getting better. RecastPro with unlimited articles is perfect at this price point - any higher or with an article limit and I would then say it wasn't worth it. I do wish there were an Android app, but as an alternative, I love the fact that I can just create a playlist of podcasts in an RSS feed and listen to all my news in my hour long commute. Can't tell you how much I love this project and I can't wait to see what features are introduced next.

Federico Borobio (ID: 00000014b65dff8f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/05/2023 Sucks. I tried to use it with 5 important web sites and in 4 of them they tell me that I must use the Pro version for 10 dollars a month. Also there is no Spanish version. Thanks, I'll pass.

Hewie Poplock (ID: 0000005b05588526) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 The app works great on my Windows 11 computer. The app is a 5 star. However, I have a few complaints about Recast itself. I think the terms "Right.", "Absolutely", etc. at the beginning of each speaker is annoying. Not having a list of servers for the Free level makes it difficult to test without committing to the Paid Version and its 7 day test.
