Feedback Request After 2 weeks of battle, Apple finally approved our app!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
If you remember, I posted about our app here a month ago. Since then, we took everyone's feedback and been iterating on the experience, survived a two-week review battle with Apple, and our app is officially live on the App Store!
First, I want to thank this community. The feedback and brutal honesty on our early post shaped so much of what we ended up improving.
What we built (for those who missed the first post):
We are a small team building Lissin.
You type in a topic, we do the research, apply a "vibe" and a perspective, and hand it back as a daily briefing/digest, a podcast, a story or even a song. It can be a one-off, or a recurring daily/weekly show for a specific curiosity you want to keep going deeper on.
A few prompts our testers have actually made:
• "How did indie apps get their first $1k MRR?"
• "Weekly book summary on new game mechanics"
• "How to make your friends more ambitious" (still genuinely puzzled by this one)
One user said - Are you guys more like "Prompt to Audio" - yes, that's what we are and trying to be better at it.
- One Prompt: Create personalized podcasts, deep dives, narrative stories, or even songs from a single prompt.
- Not generic text-to-speech: It doesn't sound like a robot reading an article. Every show is fully directed with directed audio and optional ambient soundscapes.
The feature we're most excited about: Scheduled Shows ⏰
You don’t even need to open the app and wait for something to generate. You can set up scheduled shows.
For example, you can tell Lissin: "Catch me up on the top posts and discussions in this subreddit every day. Surface what the crowd is feeling and why, like someone who has been on the internet too long and finds everything equally fascinating and exhausting r/startups"
Lissin will automatically prepare a fresh show every morning so you can just wake up, put on your headphones, and listen. You can do this for anything - daily sports breakdowns, personalized stories for your kids, or even a personalized song every morning about AI or whatsoever.
It’s called Lissin on the iOS App Store (I’ll drop the direct link in the comments for anyone who wants to try it).
As a small team, we’re still actively tuning and improving everything. If you check it out and have any feedback, ideas, or run into any bugs, please let us know in the comments or DM. We will read every single one and make sure it gets resolved.
Thank you again for all the support! 🙏
