An app that does too much, except for the basics.
For one, I cannot navigate to any of the highlighted sections of the transcript. How am I supposed to go over highlighted material from a 2-hour podcast if I can't jump to specific sections of the transcript for context? This is an inexcusable omission.
The app focuses too much on outsourcing the ability for users to effectively repurpose content, instead prioritizing pre-generated AI content that I never specifically asked for. The clipping functionality and editing are amazing, but the process is sluggish, and I can't export clips at all.
This app has so much potential, but it's trying to do too much. The import workflow is the smoothest I've ever seen, and the transcription alongside the video is excellent. But it rapidly goes downhill from there because the app is essentially useless beyond watching the video with the transcript. I can do that on YouTube!
In summary:
- Cannot navigate to specific sections of the transcript from the highlights/comments pane (an unbelievable omission).
- Cannot export AI-generated or manual clips.
- Clip generation is sluggish and lags.
- Clip editing is slightly sluggish.
- The "Create Story" function doesn’t work at all.
- The AI content section is cluttered with posts, blogs, and other things I didn’t ask for.
- Unable to preview the video in a larger size within the transcript section.
While the app has amazing features, it’s trying to do too much and fails to nail the basics. If the team focused on the fundamentals instead of adding unnecessary clutter, this could be a game-changer.
