So many other podcast players out there, and this one is just too confusing to use. The idea of Harklists and the clipping feature is vaguely interesting, but not enough to distinguish this one. Plus, who is going to see them anyway? Maybe once it takes off, there will be communities around different topics.
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!
I like almost everything about HarkAudio. However I uninstalled it for the same reason I no longer use Apple Podcasts: No acceptable speed options. 1.00 is too slow, and 1.25 is too fast. Will stick with Pocket Casts.
Just started to use HarkAudio . I love the ux and the novel idea. HarkAudio is a bit unresponsive at times but I’ll stick around for a bit and see how it goes.
I really like the concepts here. with some updates and more features, it will easily become my primary podcast app.
App works well and has a nice aesthetic, i haven't listened to much besides the podcasts I imported from apple.
One bug I’ve come across in the profile section, if I hit the history tab then the activity tab HarkAudio instantly crashes.
Also it would be great if HarkAudio kept your place in the last podcast you listened to, i was about 70% through a 3 hour podcast on Friday and by today HarkAudio completely forgot about that and I had to search for where I left off.
Other than that it’s pretty great so far.
I absolutely love getting caught up on current events or listening to the amazing stories captured by Hark.
As a avid podcast listener I have become addicted to hark. I really appreciate that they take clips and group them, making it easy to listen to the best parts of podcasts about what I’m into.
I’ve become totally addicted to Harklists. I love being able to hear from a bunch of different podcasts. Half the time I end up listening to a whole episode because the clip was so interesting.
I love the curation aspect of HarkAudio! 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 :)
A lifeboat on the open sea of millions of podcasts.
The way topics and clips from podcasts are organized makes it easy to navigate; on a recent weekend I learned more about topical subjects (NFT’s and the Electoral College) by sampling a few short clips on each from different podcasts, ran across a fresh interview with one of my favorite authors on a podcast I didn’t know existed, and dug into some music topic archives where I learned about the Beatles and the roots of “back masking”, and how the Beastie Boys recorded their first single.
Fun community way to discover new podcasts, hear highlights about new topics from a variety of podcasts and points of view, and dig deep into topics.
I am a podcast NUT and Hark is HarkAudio that my brain would have dreamed up if it could have. It’s beautiful and is chock-full of podcast moments I can’t find anywhere else, literally, and that I can’t stop listening to. A Harkllist, like the Song Exploder one, took me to another place. I pretty much forgot where I was when I was listening to it. I think this is solving the podcast discoverability problem for both listeners and podcasters. Spending time in Hark is such a treat…it’s impossible to not be moved by what you hear, impossible not to take something away with you when you leave.
Harks lets me browse and index the sprawling world of podcasts by ear -- with the help of smart, sharp listeners everywhere. It's surprising, informative, entertaining, and really useful: the kind of thing you don't know you need until you have it. Well done!
The daily round up of clips from around the podcast world is amazing. Right at my finger tips is an enormous array of topics organized in a manageable manner. What a relief!! I can enjoy and learn without the stress of searching for the latest info. I love HarkAudio and listen daily.
This is my new favorite app. I LOVE being able to listen to the themes harklists...they’ve exposed me to some amazing new podcasts that I now listen to religiously. More importantly, I’ve found myself listening to lists about topics I would never have thought to listen to an entire podcast on. I am so so thankful for hark!
Hark Audio is exactly what podcast listeners need right now. There are so many great podcasts buried behind okay ones on big networks and sorting the great indy podcasts from the tens of thousands of bad ones has gotten really hard. Hark introduced you to new shows in Harklists curated by experts and as both a podcaster and an avid listener, I love it!
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??? :)
Being on Hark is like being able to choose exactly what you want to listen to in a way that goes beyond just having a favorite podcast. I am particularly enjoying the harklist on the best moments of artists talking about creating their own songs. Hark also has now replaced all my other news apps—why listen to one opinion when Hark lets me listen to the best bits from all different sides of a top story!
