Spoon: Live Audio & Podcasts

This used to be the best audio live-streaming app. The community was always great, and I've made a lot of friends on the platform. However, ever since you guys removed the call feature the vibe is just different somehow. I used to stream on the daily because I loved having conversations on call with a bunch of different people, but now it just feels kinda blah. It's a little lonely, I guess? Anyway, call was one of your best features and I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses it.

How does this app as the rating it does? It has multiple problems that may seem small on they're one, but add up quickly. The UI is decitefylly confusing even though it looks simple, the tag system seems pointless since basicly no one uses it, and things are sorted by top casts, or top lives, while everyone else is just on a seemingly way too short list, even when searching for something specific, the list goes on. Overall it feels like a worse version of Amino with way too many misleading ads.

Although I had no idea what to expect when downloading this app, it's been an interesting journey playing around with it and getting acquainted with what everything was and how to go about and I have to say. I absolutely love it! It's a great way to be able to interactive with others regarding a variety of topics whether it's sleeping music, ASMR, venting, karaoke and etc. I really enjoyed it, I definitely think this may be the new YouTube. I would highly recommend it! 💖

Spoon is a great app to be at. It has helped me socialize in ways I wouldn't be able to do in reality. It gives you that true experience of being able to connect with people from all over the world especially in these hard times. Although sometimes you do encounter technical difficulties and there are a numerous amount of policies that can be super annoying, it's worth the while being here at spoon.

This is a great app! It's fun and there are great people with cool stuff, but I went to the cast section looking for talking but all I found was popular covers. I feel like there should be subsections of casts like you can do with a live. It'd be useful for sorting and good for finding different material, rather than getting swarmed by popular song covers. Thank you!

Definitely has potential for growth. But alot more features are going to have to be added, there should be more ways for listeners to interact with casters and casters should be able to collaborate and cast together. And instead of the static background on the cast, allow for the caster to change the background at will without having to stop the cast. But man I'd be lying if I said this app isn't fun to use. No need for a camera or any fancy tech. Just your phone, your voice and your fans.

I hope this reaches someone. I've used spoon for quite sometime and I gotta say the best feature was being able to talk to other people. I understand that spoon may try to come off as a podcast app but it's so much more interesting to get to listen to multiple stories and such from different people at the same time. So PLEASE add it back, I would appreciate it greatly. 🫶🏽🫶🏽

So I havent used the app a lot yet so I'm going off of the first 10 minutes of use, but from the looks of it this is a great idea. Really simple and user-friendly. Keep up w the advertising on different social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and you guys struck gold, seeing as how podcasts are becoming more and more popular and can only go up from here. So much more I could say but so little space. 👍

It's really fun and friendly it's a cool idea and a good social media app! It would be awesome if users could colab together and also if you could click links in the comments that would be nice, and if you could let certain listeners use voice to ask you something that would be cool, but other than those it's pretty much perfect i think!

Spoon is a great app for connecting with like-minded people about many topics. The updates have improved the app's functionality and use. However, there are issues relating to wifi connection and calls, causing interference in livestreams. Be sure to have an updated router and to restart your phone from time to time to limit these issues. It is worth the time!

Seems like a great app, but there are some issues. Firstly, I've met some awesome people here. However, I cant use any other mic than the internal one on my phone. I've tried using bluetooth and even changing the default mic in my phone's settings, but I still cant get the app to stop recording internally. Which is not good quality. Also, why is it that when I went to submit a request about the mic I had to click on "I agree to let SPOON collect personal info." with not terms and service link.

I downloaded and explored this app for a good three hours. It's so disjointed, not user friendly, and it's disconcerting that you don't see the people talking- you just hear them. Some of the topics I came across were really inappropriate and I believe that is because they have a maintained anonymity. Beyond that, the sound quality is atrocious; it sounds like everyone is using a walkie-talkie *over*. I don't really see how it's a good community building tool for all of these reasons.

The app was amazing! I love it however people there were very judgmental but I didn't meet a person that were extremely nice but instantly left as I was encounter to another person who wanted a lot of personal information on a live, it made me truly uncomfortable but in my opinion to up was good I would like there to be hopefully a rule saying no giving personal information because that truly gives me anxiety.

No more 18+ only or mature. It was fun to just joke around with random adults, but now that there isn't a category the app is basically useless. They fixed it! However, this app is crazy loud without headphones! It doesn't work with the media or call or system or any type of volume on android!!! It just had a max volume and mute. It makes it too annoying to use when I would usually like to use it!

Listen, Spoon has always had potential, it is a great community and has really amazing features. The issue is the bugs. Like seriously guys, there's no reason why certain things haven't been fixed yet. Like issues with streams freezing for djs, not being able to see chat, chats not going through. Also playback of casts has not worked in months. Instead of focusing so heavily on "make overs" and cosmetics, please work on the internal, back end parts of the app.

Literally all the good features that existed about 2 years ago are now only usable after an $8 monthly subscription. The app went downhill ages ago when you removed those features and now you demand for money is someone wants them back. Also that old talk section with the voice was good, just sending messages kinda sucks. It's not so much chatting if it's just mostly messaging.

It's an okay app at most. It's not entirely moderated the best, lots of things slipping past guidelines or just generally not being looked at at all. The app works at a bare bones level, it's buggy at best and nonexistent at worse. The community is pretty nice though, sorta. There's a lot of different kinds of people, A LOT, and a lot of those people breaks the guidelines without much consequence, but there's kind folks too. If you don't mind these issues that much then this app is good for you.
