Services

iVoox offers mainly Spanish-speaking content and most of its users are based in Spain. The portal offers audio files free of charge, which can be accessed via the website or via an application for mobile devices. There is also the possibility of podcast creation, as long as you have your own account for the publication of content.

iVoox is using ads, and a subscription fee can be activated to subscribe some podcasts.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain, the site experienced a boom in podcasts. [3]

Controversies

Some media have pointed out that iVoox can be a source of fake news because it lacks a team of moderators. This is in addition to the fact that it favours major news channels such as Cadena Ser, Los 40 principales, Cadena Cope or newspaper OkDiario. Juan Ignacio Solera, who founded the channel, has denied that this is happening. [5]
