User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: users praise Fountain's value-for-value concept, sats rewards, and Nostr/off-grid orientation, with some viewing it as their preferred podcast player. However, widespread issues—crashes, unreliable playback, slow library/search, incomplete features, and inconsistent earnings—dominate reviews, causing users to abandon or revert to other apps. Improvements in stability, UX, and transparent earnings are needed for broader adoption.

Pros

Innovative value-for-value model with sats rewards.
Nostr integration and off-grid approach appealing to users.
Some users view Fountain as a preferred podcast player and a strong alternative to mainstream apps.
Opportunity to support creators directly via sats (creator payments).

Cons

Frequent stability and reliability issues: crashes, bugs, and background playback problems.
Playback progress is not remembered and episodes restart after pauses.
Search, library loading, and queue/episode management problems, plus missing or broken features (OPML export).
Rewards/sats earning is inconsistent and not transparent; payout issues reported.
Notifications are intrusive and updates can cause data loss or reset.

Recent reviews

I love this app and everything it does. However, sometime in the last 2-3 weeks there was an update that has broken several things and done really weird stupid things like forgetting where I was in a podcast when I come back after a 5 minute pause or rewinding randomly when I click on the fast forward 30 seconds button from my watch, or tries to replay the podcast I just listened to instead of going to the next show in my queue, or the screen randomly blacks out when I add a new show to my queue. Please go back to the version you were running a few weeks ago, and DO NOT EVER EVER EVER!!!!! make any UI changes. Edit: WOW, literally immediately after I posted this review, the app updated and the developers changed the UI and didn’t even fix any of the bugs. I can’t recommend this app anymore when the developers would do something so brazen and violate one of the biggest rules of keeping a successful app successful. DEVS— Just revert the app to what it was 3 weeks ago and fix those bugs. Don’t bother with anything else.
