User Reviews

Fountain: Podcasts & Music offers an innovative way to earn Bitcoin while listening, with good podcast selection and Lightning Network integration. However, many users experience frequent crashes, playback bugs such as random rewinds and lost positions, and confusing offline functionality. The earning system is inconsistent and sometimes fails to credit sats properly. Navigation and settings are reported as scattered and difficult to manage. Despite these issues, some users appreciate the platform's unique features and expect improvements over time.

Integration with Lightning Network for tipping and value exchange with creators.
Includes social networking features on an uncensorable platform.

The app has improved in user interface and experience over time according to some users.

Cons

App is unstable with frequent crashes and freezing issues.
Playback functionality often buggy: losing play position, random rewinds, pauses, and skipping backwards unexpectedly.
Inconsistent or poor earning system with unclear payout rates and daily caps, sometimes with lost earnings.
Navigation and settings are confusing or scattered, making it hard to use and adjust preferences.
Offline and download features are unreliable, with unclear indicators if audio is fully available offline.

Recent reviews

have had 5 stars posted since 2023.... not sure whats happened to this app but I feel like its become what it was suppose to fix, app crashes randomly replays parts of podcasts, and the key thing that got me here, the sats, they stopped a few months ago, sent support messages, and checking to see if an updates available I just find more comments about broken sats, broken promises.

The app has always been janky, but I put up with it for years to earn SATs for listening. Now that appears to have been removed as a feature, and no one from Fountain seems to want to give a definitive answer about rewards being gone. Save yourself the trouble and look for a better app for your podcasts, there are plenty of options that fit that bill.
