5/5Refreshing break from screen scrolling
First day and I’m loving the refreshing take on social media. Listening seems more intimate, less work, and honestly more genuine as your not perfecting every word and pixel before you post. Excited to see the community that develops around this.

5/5Powerful social media
This platform is a powerful form of social media. Listening to people's distilled thoughts in their own voice is both personal and intimate. The experience is powerful, and the app is well-built. This is the social media the world needs today. Well done team!

5/5Radio Reinvented
So much of social media today is in the form of the written word, which I love in its rightful place, or a snapshot. It almost always communicates that life is great! Life is great… and complicated. Our voices share that nuance in ways that the written word and photographs cannot. Gistvox, gives us the opportunity to share the trivial, the profound, our joys, and sorrows in our own voice. Reminiscent of the days of radio, which for me has been almost completely eclipsed by the use of podcasts and audiobooks, Gistvox gives us the opportunity to share, to listen, to consider. Download and enjoy! 🙌

5/5Impressive!
This is a super cool new “only audio” app. Its simplicity is refreshing in that it’s all about the raw and authentic experience of the human voice. If you want a unique way to share your stories, Gistvox is definitely worth checking out!

5/5The social App I’ve needed
I’ve wanted more voices and less doom scrolling in my life. This app makes my friends and family feel closer through their voices and gives my brain a lovely screen break.
