What’s New
Version 3.2
We’ve redesigned the podcast player to provide a richer visual interface and the following additional playback controls:
• Adjustable playback speeds
• Configurable skip back/forward actions
• Sleep Timer
• Autoplay
Bug Fixes and Other Improvements
• Your device may occasionally remove downloads to free up space. We’ve improved how we handle this by providing clearer messaging when it happens and offering a direct way to redownload content.
• Optimized our internal image management to use less memory and data.
• Home now scrolls a lot smoother thanks to improvements in how we render video tiles.
• Improved the image caching system to prevent apps with limited memory from crashing (thanks to Chris for this crash report).
• Fixed an issue that could result in missing artwork within the lock screen player.
Ratings and Reviews
Still needs some work
The IOS app in it’s current form works and works well however they still need to add a few things to complete it.
There is a mountain of great stuff on nebula so definitely try it.
Not a great media player for iPhone
So while I think a lot of the content looks good the player implementation gets in the way of enjoying it. Some examples below:
For whatever reason, the media isn’t recognised by iOS so if I try to stop it any other way than the screen controls (e.g AirPod tap), the iPhone starts playing the default audio, typically music. In practice this means if I try to pause it the way I pause anything else on the phone to talk to someone etc, I get the reverse effect of starting loud music! And of course this means I can’t restart the video conveniently either (since last audio is now music).
Another issue - video cannot lose focus and still play. I’d love to be able to keep audio on with the screen off, but I can’t even browse the catalogue in the same application without stopping the video.
Videos still take a hot second to start as well, but that comparatively minor. As is the time it takes to find the creators I commonly watch.
If I could control the updates I would definitely request the developer to fix the first issue (iOS media integration) first since It really does stop me from using the service from my phone for any significant amount of time.
Again, the review is all about the player, not the content. Cheers
Maybe an algorithm isn’t a bad thing :)
Nebula creators love to talk about how this platform doesn’t have an algorithm! They’re not here to force you to watch something you don’t want to watch. Except… that’s what they end up doing. This platform refuses to keep track of what you’re watching, and if it’s one singular channel, it will NEVER have that channel available - instead you see the mid video other mid creators have put out. Halfway through a podcast episode? The home page will not remember, you have to search it up and find the episode again. Have you been keeping up with a series that is probably a decent chunk of their viewership, and it’s the final? They don’t care, it won’t be on the home page. Reach for that search bar, again.
