Wow. I love that days after I join I see the app update has the addition of user-requested features, such as speedier playback (1.5x or 2x speed). I liked the suggesrion when I first heard it in the app and I especially like that the devs are not only attentive to feedback but responsive in acting on it. The whole premise for Swell is unique. I predict if the team stays open to change in the UI, while standing by their core mission, it will be more and more successful. Kudos.

A suggestion I have is to allow me to personalize my app experience through allowing me to change the color scheme. Also, personal swells that don't have to be about starting a conversation - on your personal page. Maybe a limit of 2 or something. Just to share a thought purely for sake of sharing it. The color scheme as it is makes everything feel unexciting and dull. Still getting 5 stars because I love the concept and I'd like to see more people join the app and for things to further develop.

Liking. 1- (confusing w/⭐editors choices) [ps-did find our favorites, just click on a podcast bookmark to see the ones saved.]miss delete there. 2-put also there the reposts so we can check later! 3-allow to save fav from the search page+murals+responses 4-can't see who👍 in the posts! 5-put option to disable sound of notifications/alerts inside the app - it's abit annoying when you still want media sound on your phone but not that sound of swell notifications.(just the written ones,there. Tkx.

Thank you for your review! Some of the features you have requested already exist - You can: delete bookmarks by toggling the bookmark icon, see who liked a post by doing a long press on the emoji icon, and disable the swell emoji audio in Settings. We hope this helps and we will definitely take this all into our next versioning of the app! Thanks!
