Love the features, can’t share notes

I’ve been wishing for something like this for a long time and I love it! My only complaint is that, though it is supposed to be an option, I can’t seem to be able to share my notes. I’d love to be able to send them to Evernote or something like that so I can search them more easily. Great app though!
Excellent App; Responsive Developer

I have tried a number of bookmarking apps and decided on this one. I really needed something that could label the bookmarks, have both start/end times into the same bookmark, and most importantly output to a format that I could read in and parse with a script. I’ve been very happy with it. After using it heavily I made a few suggestions for a future release and the developer was kind enough to incorporate them. Update 1/6/2021: The 4.0 version just released has a “Clips” feature that makes this hands-down the best podcast app I’ve used so far because it can collect / extract / play the bookmarks I’ve collected one after the other. I used to do the same thing manually which was tedious (parsing an export of the bookmarks (episode, start and end time, etc), manually downloading the podcast episodes, and running a script to extract the bookmarks to separate audio files) but now this app does all of that automatically. The developer continues to be very responsive to feedback.
Love the app!!! But i’m still learning

I love this app but how does the video playback work? I still can’t figure it out
Great bookmark capability

I like the bookmark capabilities so far, especially how I can simply double tap the image and it will create a bookmark quickly.However, I wish the image took up a larger portion of the screen when in driving mode (similar to audible), so that it can make double tapping and creating a fast bookmark easier to do while driving. Also, I wish I had the the ability to save the previous 15-30 seconds by default from that double tap instead of just marking the place or having to tap again from the pop up. But overall really good when not driving but the drive mode bookmarking capabilities could be improved. Thanks.
Awesome potential

I’m so excited to have found this app, after having searched for something like it for several years now. However, I would like to see my bookmark “comments” below the bookmarks, similar to the bookmark view in “audible”, which would give me more of the functionality of something like “noted”. I cannot seem to figure out how to rename a bookmark title, and how to delete bookmarks (I can “select” bookmarks, although for no real purpose). There is no sideways slide option implemented for bookmarks either. I’m also still struggling with how to use the app. I appreciate all the info pop ups, but they are a bit terse, and don’t quite explain what a “skip” bookmark is. Perhaps a dedicated “guide” text that could walk the reader through examples that also explain the intention and the outcome might be helpful, and explanations for when to use what functionality, depending on different use cases.
Great concept. Couple more features will make it excellent.

Definitely on the right path adding bookmarking to podcasts. Really helps with referencing valuable topics later. Only challenges are these: 1) it’s difficult to change a “bookmark” (a single point on the time line) into a “bookmark clip” (a block of time with a start and end time). When editing a bookmark, it shows the option to change the start time and add an end time, but there’s no way to save the change currently it seems. 2) When looking at the bookmark view for a podcast, it doesn’t show the names of the bookmarks you’ve defined. Only “bookmark 1, bookmark 2, etc) 3) The search feature doesn’t seems to currently index (search against) your custom bookmark titles 4) Doesn’t currently look like there’s a way to export your bookmark clips into a general format for external use 5) I tend to listen to podcasts when running, would be amazing to have the bookmark / bookmark clip capture feature be enabled from a physical button on the phone when the app is active. There are some great photo apps that do this and it makes usage so much more fluid with what you’re already doing. Overall a great concept with fantastic potential. Hopefully the dev continues to invest in the concept and attack some of these quick wins. Thanks again for making the investment to build this app! Happy to test early feature releases if you’d like, just let me know.
Almost there

This is the app that has been missing from the market. I absolutely love the ability to leave bookmarks on episodes or audiobooks! The area that still needs more focus is the playback rate. I would love more options between 1-1.5x. Silence trimming, voice boost, etc. clone the audio features of the popular podcast players :) Another suggestion: one tap bookmarks that just use time stamp for the label. This would really be nice when driving!
I would consider purchasing...

if you made the trial functional. For example allow one download from iTunes library (like Bookmobile). As of now there are NO good audio bookmarking apps in the entire App Store. This could be a great opportunity for you but you need to show us what this app can do.
