I believe I first heard of Podium at KVR. I tried it several times at early stages and I remember it being confusing, but getting better every time. I liked the UI a lot and that’s probably why I kept testing Podium from time to time.
When I saw the announcement for the free version I gave it another shot and this time everything seemed logical and easily understandable. Even the mixer that was probably the most confusing part wasn’t confusing at all. Podium changed a lot to the better, or I finally started to understand it :).
