Nothing useful for the year 2025 even all basic features are required montly plan upgrade!! Too limited and not sure why i need this when i needed to pay a subscription upgrade again!! Truly Shocked with your offering -..-"
The plan is tooooooo limited especially on the basic featuer yet also the Payment setup as well.
From my first trial after see Soundwise for a long time on Appsumo.
I felt it is too limited esepcailly a general basic feature like Category or Folder of the media arrangment.
This should not need further upgrade :(
Not able to notify listener when a new podcast available... need further upgrade again :(
Can't even trim.. need further upgrade again :(
Not even have a basic report of how many playing time becasue Analytic need further upgrade again :(
Then,... Can't even record directly with this plan?
Everything you should need is required upgrade plan -..-"
Yet after uploaded the files we need to manually type on the content ourselves rather than having draft AI decribes those content for us Gzzzz!!!
Then, there is no Payout for Thailand? I cannot accpet the paymetn through other payment gateway like FIUU or former (RMS) or PayPal or etc.
I think it is a time for review the value of your offering seriously.... Not sure this is really useful one for Soloprenuer on the year 2025, seem like i will need to refunds this since my first day of these surprised experiences....

Asking to Upgrade for monthly plan
It's unfair that after the purchase it asks to upgrade to see the analytics and other options like messaging to the customers and more options have been blocked due to no subscription. very bad!

Good application, a few useful enhancements could improve the user experience
The application is easy to use.
I think it's a good solution for selling audiobooks.
Among the features I like:
- Users can listen to the book offline, without being able to download it for sharing, for example.
- PDF notes can be added to accompany the audiobook, enabling me to send readers back to view tables and graphs that are difficult to transcribe via audio.
I can sell my audio book via stripe.
So it's a great tool for selling audiobooks. For podcasts, however, there are more suitable apps on Appsumo.
Many users are dissatisfied because of the many limitations compared with the subscription-based versions. It's true that it's a bit frustrating, but I tend to qualify that because you can already market audiobooks easily and effectively for an unbeatable price.
On the other hand, I'd put 4* and not 5*, because the basic information is not translatable into the main non-English languages (such as French), even though it doesn't require any major development.
All in all, a good application, with a few useful improvements that could enhance the user experience.

Wanted it to work...
I really wanted this to work for my 50+ library of fiction audiobook novels...but it just doesn't. The "essentials" plan doesn't include anything useful and isn't even listed on their website...because it's not a real plan. If you want to do anything useful with it, you'll have to upgrade, so there is no value to this LTD...sadly.

very easy to use
I've been using soundwise to give my program members access to my meditations and replays of live masterclasses, and they really love it. Features they really like: ability to download tracks and listen offline, sleep timer (so they can fall asleep listening to meditations and have them turn off automatically), easy app access....just a few taps to select what they want.
What I like: It's very easy to create new tracks. there aren't so many features that users get confused about what's available. It sends pop up notifications to users when I upload a new track. 👍
What's missing for me: The ability sort playlists. You can create them, but you can't do any kind of sorting. Seems like a pretty basic functionality of playlists but it's not an option here. I've submitted this as a feature request but have not gotten any indication of whether it's on the road map. When I filled out the form, it included a question, "how much additional are you willing to pay to have this feature?" err....I think that should be a basic feature of a playlist. I'm waiting to see if they will add this feature before I upgrade and use this platform to sell subscriptions. I wish I could get someone in the company to communicate about plans for features like these but they don't seem very communicative with their users.
I also would like to see the ability to link directly to a track inside the app. I believe this is called "deep linking"....so that I can send and email that has a CTA to listen to a track. I tried asking about this but the customer service person I was interacting with did not seem to understand my question, and I gave up asking. I don't think it's an option, but I could be wrong. The way it is right now is that you an link to a landing page that allows a user to add the track to their account, and then they have to go to the account to find the new track.
It would be nice to have the option to change the colors in the app. Orange is it. Relatively minor detail though.
Aside from the issues of playlist sorting, deep linking and communication difficulties, I really like the simplicity and ease of use.
