@verena_ortlieb Already a user, just listen to recasts now. Will be using Chrome Ext. for capturing articles and Recast for myself. Love listening experience.

Just subscribed to their pro features, and am very impressed so far! I have most enjoyed the discover function as it has often led me to interesting articles and topics/issues outside of my normal sphere that I would otherwise not have had on my radar. In the few months I’ve been using the app, I can also appreciate the many upgrades and improvements developers are consistently delivering to elevate the experience. Overall very impressed!

Guilty of having a loooong read-later list that takes literally years before I get to it 😂 podcast format is much easier to consume

recast makes my news experience more manageable and insightful using AI. I particularly like the rankings feature showing which news is being most recast. I believe in the company to continue to innovate around how to make sense of the world.

Review Recast?

Reviewers mostly see Recast as a practical way to turn unread articles into short, conversational audio they can actually finish, especially while driving, doing chores, or avoiding screens in the morning. The dialogue format is repeatedly praised as more engaging and less tiring than straight narration, and many say it helps clear read-later backlogs without losing the main ideas. The main criticisms are limited customization, broader language support, and some confusion around pricing or feature clarity.
