It was too new of a company that it didn't offer many features and we didn't get a lot of data regarding our postings and where they could be found. Appcast is very transparent with their data. #### Vendor response Hi Alicia - Thank you for the review! We're so happy to hear you're loving Appcast. We look forward to our continued partnership.
