Great plugin for podcasters!

ஆகஸ்ட் 4, 2020
Love this plugin, very easy to setup and use. The styling options make it perfectly customizable for your site. The support from the creator is very fast and top-notch! A must have for podcasters!

The Support Thus far has been such that I feel robbed

If you want this to e what you tout it to be, it HAS to work! Especially if someone has to atten the Help Menu University and LEARN how to launch it. To not have easily accessable support when it is a paid thing, the transactional nature of it, requires that be done, and thought of before hand, otherwise you will loose reputation forever, because doing things right is EASY! Most people will understand a bit of challenge and hiccups if they are TOLD UPFRONT, and the impatient are caught asap and customer serviced to where they need to be! The world is not what it was in that regard. To much ephansiws on money and success, not enough on happiness and compassion. Good luck. I am on transistor.fm now and cannot get all of my creative work to load through your app.

Great podcast player
