OH also for the product hunters here is a bunch of emails i sent when i first started working on this (I turned it into a couple medium posts so I didn't keep spamming people) which kind of catalogs the VERY early days of the app struggle https://medium.com/an-audio-thing

Great idea! Dealing with equipment (oh the headaches) alone is a barrier to entry. It's probably a dumb question, but will there ever be a way to upload audio to the app? While we do some short episodes on the go, we usually do them in-studio and I'd prefer the audio quality of my studio setup. Or, alternatively, while I love the drops section, it'd be nice to have my own show's shortened theme song so I can "brand" it. Finally, one of the pillars of podcasting is the RSS feed so that the listener can use any subscription platform they choose, and they're not confined to a single app. Do you plan to implement RSS feeds?

@brewbloods Hi! Check out Opinion, which is another really simple podcasting studio for iOS. We engineered it to be as flexible as possible – Opinion lets you import audio from Dropbox or iCloud, and you can export to a ton of different apps and services. Looking forward to hear your feedback! https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

@brewbloods Yeah both of these are definitely in the works

@torrauden I'll check it out, thanks!

@iano Excellent. Great interface, by the way.

@iano I second your thoughts @brewbloods - I totally get the pain point of hours of audio editing to produce only a few minutes of truly good content. I struggle with this constantly on The Pitch. The concept of clicking to automatically cut a pause or umm is seriously groundbreaking. Would love to see a version of this app for iPad Pro or something so I can do some serious editing.

I've been looking forward to seeing this launch. I just recorded a bumper of my initial impressions of the app (I know, meta). Of course, it's similar to Anchor, "reinventing" podcasting to make it more accessible (and fun). I love the addition of sound effects, smart editing, and their audio prompts are engaging (e.g. what's one thing everyone loves that you hate: my answer). More details from @iano in his Medium post.

One major🔑 is Timing. People are listening to more & more podcasts. Android on the way or do you need to validate the iOS version first?

This solves a major problem, but the way you guys executed is what's most important. As intuitive and easy-to-use as you can get. This can really give a newfound voice to every single user out there. Seriously...great job!

Why would someone use this over @Anchor?

@mlsj1 @anchor I've used both, and much prefer bumpers. audio editing is way better and the community feels very different.

@rometty_ @anchor Thanks for answering

Been a fan of this app since I first saw it in beta. The aesthetic of the app is really fun and I think translates to setting the tone for the content. I think this is a bigger deal in the success of social apps than ppl think. You're more likely to tinker with something and share with a friend something that's entertaining and funny and Bumpers is full of content that is.

I love the UI of the app + website. Looks great!
jack rometty
used this intermittently during the beta, and the interface is smooth as hell. you need to download it to fully understand how great the audio editing interface is :)
