Love this applause feature. It's a perfect interaction and easy to access in the context in which the user is likely to be listening. 👏 👏 👏

@ctothejones Thanks, Colin!

Congrats on the launch, love the design! (and the 👏 feature) Enabled the Alexa skill as well, but there was a problem while connecting. I'm going to try it again later.

@einkoenig Hi Jan! Thanks for the heads up, we found the issue. Should be fixed now :)

Have yet to figure out how to view and share the “recorded audio [as] rich, colorful videos that play seamlessly on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram” — where is this feature within the app? @mignano @mayafish

@crshall @mayafish Currently somewhat hard to find - this is good feedback, clearly we need to improve it. Tap the "echo" button, then tap "Share elsewhere...". Thanks for flagging this for us!
Chris Hall
@mignano @mayafish any chance the "feature captions via automatic speech-to-text transcription, powered by IBM Watson" get enabled for all videos, rather than only the "best ones"? It's a feature I would certainly pay for.

@crshall @mignano @mayafish I echo this whole heartedly. I need this feature for deaf and hard of hearing accessibility for my audience. It would be a game changer if it could be available.

New version looks great - well done. Quick question. I've been adding some tracks from the app (android) and desktop, but I don't see how I get to 'preview' or 'publish' my station. How do I share the station with peeps? I KNOW YOU WANT TO HEAR MY MUSIC :)

@koopstakov hi James! sorry this isn't super clear right now, we've got some improvements coming soon that'll make it easier. for now, hop into playback for your station and grab the link from the "share" button in the bottom right. let us know if there's any other sharing options you're hoping for that you're not seeing!

@mayafish Got it - thx.

This is amazing, love everything about Anchor. This is a great interaction medium, also the stations section is amazing, it's super easy reposting content using Echo also adding your point of view beforehand. It's your own podcast anywhere anytime, whoever came up with the applause idea is a genius. Kudos to everyone at Anchor.

I always like to surf other content while listening to something. That's not possible right not.
