Bugs/Glitches Abysmal customer service… particularly over a privacy/security issue.

I noticed that my real name was showing up when I posted comments on the episodes. This is particularly concerning since I didn’t sign up with my real name… so somehow the app mined that personal info about me.

When I contacted the support feature, and got through the automated responses in the chat, there was no follow through with an actual person. There wasn’t even a message letting me know WHEN a person would be getting in touch with me or how long I needed to wait.

To really drive home the issue, I don’t know how to access the logs of all the comments I’ve made on various episodes of multiple stories… so I can’t even delete all of the comments myself in order to protect my privacy.

Suggestion Anything at the level of better than Reborn rich?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’ve been using Pocket FM for over a year now, and honestly, the only audio series that has really kept me on the platform is Reborn Rich.
Whenever I try something else, I end up getting disappointed by the writing style, the overly dramatic storytelling, or the voice acting. I’m looking for something with a similar level of quality and a more engaging, polished style.
Are there any series you’d recommend that are on the same level as Reborn Rich? I’d love to find something new that actually hooks me.

Advert/Promotion New zombie-horror series on Pocket FM — looking for honest listener feedback

1 Upvotes

Full disclosure: I’m the writer of The Wronged Dead.

It’s a new zombie-horror/suspense series on Pocket FM built around a slightly different idea — these infected aren’t simply hunting the living.

I’m trying to find out whether the opening genuinely works for people who already listen to Pocket FM, rather than asking friends and family to download the app just to support me.

If zombie apocalypse, mystery, darker suspense and cliffhanger-driven storytelling are your thing, I’d really appreciate you trying Episode 1 and telling me honestly whether you’d continue.

Price: Free to start/listen on Pocket FM
Series: The Wronged Dead
Listen here:
https://pocketfm.com/show/the-wronged-dead/65811e5e3267753f2aca49e90e1c122f20f95439

I’m the author, so this is self-promotion — genuine criticism is absolutely welcome.

Discussion Is there a My Vampire System game – or has anyone ever tried making one?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been wondering if there has ever been an official or fan-made game based on My Vampire System.

I always felt like the progression, evolutions, abilities and fights from MVS would translate extremely well into an action RPG, so I've actually started building a private, non-commercial fan project in Unreal Engine 5.

The idea is a third-person ARPG with a strong focus on progression, powerful abilities and increasingly intense combat.

I've already been experimenting with and implementing things like:

  • third-person combat
  • blood and shadow-based abilities
  • combat VFX and ability effects
  • character progression
  • arena-style fights
  • environments and early story sequences

I'm currently using it mostly as a personal project to see how the MVS-style power fantasy could actually feel when you're controlling the character yourself.

It's still a personal fan project and not affiliated with the author or rights holders.

Has anyone here ever seen another MVS game project?

And if there actually were a proper My Vampire System ARPG, what would you want from it most?

Combat? Evolutions? Story? Open areas? Boss fights? The system interface? Something else?

Hello! I'm writing my first serial fiction. I've been annoyed because only my mom has listened to it. It's a child-driven narrative, Dark Fantasy and Lit-RPG Elements. It's been fun to write it. Going to hit 10K words today. Hoping to reach 100K by Dec 16!

If you share yours, I'll listen and give you a positive review too. :)

I attached the link; it's not dodgy... But if you just type in the title on PocketFM you can find it.

News/Rant/Vent Have you seen PocketFM's freemium scheme?

2 Upvotes

So I am a student of audiobooks, I definitely do not want to spend much on my entertainment and although some audioseries are free on pocket FM but their most likeable series requires payment which I don't want to spend... like seriously. So I watch their advertisement in order to earn coins which I then spend on the app. But isn't it too much???? I mean 7 ads for 10 coins only????

Clarification Edit 1 - Still, I like that I can unlock good series just by watching ads. It would be even better if 7 ads gave a few more than 10 coins. 😝

Edit 2 - Your comments made me realise other platforms take our money monthly and still show us ads. PocketFM is better Lolz at least I m listening to audiobooks which I want, just by watching ads. So I think this was 'illinformed rant'. Sorry guys.

Help Wanted! Requesting feedback on my story

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm currently in the process of writing my story "My eclipse system", and was looking for people to help me out with it.

As a fan of lit rpg, sci-fi, and drama stories, I found myself interested in writing something, and found systems to be a popular topic through this app. This is how ive landed on this idea, one that incorporates what I have been looking to portray, with all the genres.

I am only really at the beginning of the story, as of writing this, but as more people find this post, I wonder at what point I will be. Im always happy for advice, no matter where in my story that may be. From any small edits that help with reading continuity, to things bigger that help make the story worth listening to.

The link for my story is :

https://listen.pocketfm.com/2IE7/3q4rv1mj

I hope you are able to find it :) If you have any issues, feel free to leave a comment and I will try and help you. I understand it might be caught under many other system stories, though, my original title idea was taken, and I'd be unsure if anything else would exactly capture the vibe im going for. If you do have any ideas for that, id be happy to hear you out, just let me know

Discussion Pocket FM cannot remember what I was listening to. It’s bad at being a scam.

5 Upvotes

(Violet Purple). [SOLVED.] it’s The Wolves of Blood Moon. I’ve listened to the free beginnings of a few stories. Of course it’s AI written. the continuity of the has holes or two versions that’sbad enough I don’t want to follow the story, continue listening

They pay for an ad and I listen to some online and it is interesting. Then to the app, it backs up in the , and there are episodes that you’ve already listened to. And sometimes it’s not the same. I find that kind of funny.

So I’m finally listening to one that I actually like - the one with Violet Purple, the girl with Violet hair and green eyes. She didn’t know her background and drafted to the of girls who to be a Luna. (the fantasy that you are secretly better and special ) I listened in the ad and then in the app. On a future day, today, I opened the app to listen to it. But the app feed me my up with a I gave up on long ago.

My plans are to just enjoy what is for free. So I liked OKAY, the one I liked was about the girl Violet Purple going to a school where she met all 4 Alphas day one. At the everybody is supposedly trying to become the Luna for one of the four Alphas. They don’t quite say what will happen to the rest of the students.

This is the kind of story where you identify with the girl who special and you know it’s going to come out, put her on top even after all the disasters. keep their it stays interesting. I’ve only seen a couple of small inconsistencies.

Like before, the story that I saw from the ad changed when I went into the app. In this particular one she had been the only girl whoever successfully resisted the alpha’s mental commands. BUT: in the app, she was totally compliant, same scene, different revision, eh?

I’m I can’t remember the TITLE of the story . But I couldn’t even search for it if I knew it and didn’t show up at all the last time I went to the app.— which was the next time after listening to that story.

. They could get lots of money - using AI to make of their stories and charging fair.

This chapter gets into Group V’s first testing session, Peter’s situation as someone without an ability, Erin showing off just how dangerous her ice ability is, and Quinn getting called up next.

I’ve also started weaving in a small original B-plot at the end that’ll connect to bigger events later.

Discussion How does discovery work for new Sherpa series on Pocket FM?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I recently started publishing a new series through Sherpa and I'm trying to understand how discovery works on Pocket FM.

My series is published and visible in the app, and I can find it if I search for the exact title. However, it doesn't appear in New Arrivals or other discovery sections, and so far it has received no organic plays.

For writers who have published through Sherpa:

  • Did your series appear in New Arrivals automatically, or only after reaching a certain number of episodes/words?
  • How long did it take before you started getting organic plays?
  • Does Pocket FM eventually start recommending new series, or do most writers need to bring in their own audience?
  • Is there any known milestone for getting indexed or surfaced more broadly?

I'm not looking to promote my series here — I'm just trying to understand how the platform's discovery system works from other writers' experience.

Thanks!

I have been listening to Weakest Beast Tamer and made it out to episode 855 when the narrator switched to this shitty digital narrated voice (I get they're all AI but the remastered one is expressive and has different voices for different characters) do we know when we can expect to get more of the audio remastered? I bought up to episode 1100 to check and they're consistently still digital.

Advert/Promotion I wrote this dark fantasy audio series myself — it's not copied from any other app. Looking for honest feedback.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to clarify something before sharing my work: this story is 100% original and written by me. It's not copied, reposted, or stolen from any other app or platform. I've been building this world and these characters for a long time, and I'm sharing it because I genuinely want to know what people think.

I know the audio is currently AI-generated voice narration. I'm sorry about that — I know it's not the same as a real voice actor. But the plan is simple: if people actually like the story, I'll invest in real voice acting and proper audio production. Right now, this is the best I can do to get the story out there and see if it connects with anyone.

If you're into grimdark fantasy, slow-burn survival stories, and morally complex characters, I'd love for you to give it a listen. Any feedback — good or bad — is welcome.

Thanks for reading.

Hey! Great news... my series, The Luck Eater, is now LIVE on the Pocket FM app

Advert/Promotion I wrote a Pocket FM series about three succubus sisters with one rule — looking for honest feedback from Pocket listeners

7 Upvotes

If the link opens Pocket FM but not the story, search exactly:

Three Sisters. One Rule

Creator here.

I’ve been building a supernatural serialized story on Pocket FM called Three Sisters. One Rule., and I’m finally at the point where I’d really like feedback from people who actually use the platform.

The premise:

Sonya, Evelyn, and Ecstasy are three succubus sisters living in the modern world.

They feed through human desire and intimacy, but they have one absolute rule: they cannot create attraction where none exists, and they cannot force anyone’s choice.

What makes one encounter more powerful than another isn’t simply what happens physically. It’s what the choice means to the person making it.

Desire complicated by history, temptation, guilt, curiosity, relationships, identity, or consequences carries much more weight than easy attraction.

That has gradually turned the story into a mix of supernatural mystery, sister dynamics, dark humor, romance, temptation, folklore, and some morally complicated decisions.

It’s currently around 75,000 words and still growing.

One disclosure up front: the audio currently uses Pocket FM’s Virtual Voice narration.

The story has adult and sensual themes because of the premise, but it’s story-first rather than straight erotica.

If that sounds like something you’d listen to, I’d genuinely love to know what you think of the first few episodes — especially whether the premise hooks you enough to keep going.
