Easy and SUPER useful!
As a podcaster this app does all my heavy lifting when it comes to labeling and inserting the tags I want and need into each episode. I LOVE the “Apply to All” buttons. I can load up an old and a new podcast and with a few clicks all the data is transferred to the new file! Well worth the price in time and energy savings!
Simple. Effective. Fast.
This app works exactly as advertised. Highly recommended.
Developer removed features and put them in a paid version!
Prior to this month I was able to batch edit tags as is in the description - and which I paid for (not the free app). Life was good. Now without notice that feature is removed (that’s why I hate the app store). Now developer want’s $10 to get it back in a “Premium version'. I refuse to have to pay for something again that I already bought. Disabling features in purchsed software is not cool! Of course emails to the developer go unanswered. Not the way to do business...
