HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1075 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

interesting and to the point

Great Short Story Format

I'm enjoying this format of true crime stories done in small videos. The voice is calm and easy to listen to and I like the shorter length too. This is a great addition to my podcast list. Thank you! 👏🫶

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Needs some work.

If you listen to a series through the entire episode, and then try to come back to listen if you missed anything, it just immediately takes you back to review the documentary and doesn’t let you easily go back to any episode. Not sure if this is a bug, but it should be fixed. Also, there’s a lot more podcasts than I had expected with many videos being made via ai. Just overall not what was truly advertised on IG.

★★★★★Oct 7, 2026
Awesome

The stories are unbelievably interesting! Try it, you won’t regret it.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026

Love TC

These are interesting stories. Long enough to get the facts but short enough to fill just a few minutes of down time.
