It’s good but frustrating
I really like the concept, however, I can’t get around this app nor can I really appreciate the effort put into it since it is pretty cut and dry. I do my recordings on the computer but I have run into a few annoying problems since I first signed up, first off, there seems to be some bugs that happen during your meetings like: guests joining as audience members even when you clicked on ‘guest’, guests appearing twice in the meeting (two copies of them appear when watching the recording), audio will desynchronize at random moments in the recording, when reviewing your footage it only plays one screen at a time …

★★★★★ZERO stars. Terrible Video Quality
If you want terrible video quality, then this app is for you. Even the paid version provides zero video resolution options. Every video is out of focus and worthless to use if you want quality video. The customer service is subpar. No phone contact number for immediate help. The pro version on the computer is over $30 a month and they can’t even provide you with immediate service. Ridiculous! If you want to record on your phone and then edit on your computer, you have to pay for the Phone app and the computer access app. …

Magic Clips; Gone.
One of the things I use this app for more than anything, if not, the only thing, is the Magic Clips. I record an episode through Google Chrome, and when finished recording, the recording generates Magic Clips to which I would find in my “For You” section of each episode on the app. I would click on a Magic Clip on the app on my phone, and while I couldn’t view it, yet, was able to export and then download to my phone to prepare for social media posting. I was also able to long hold on the clip, click edit and fix normalize the sound before exporting. …

Just missing one thing
The app is great in every way. However they are missing just one thing to make it perfect. Please bring media board to iPad app. I don’t want to carry around my laptop for media board when I could just do it on my iPad. Please add this feature and this app will be perfect!

★★★★★BY FAR WORST APP FOR PODCAST
Honestly this app is awful, any type of recording is obnoxious to use. It forces you to do one time runs of any content you try to create and then “edit” whatever you make, but instead of simply recording the audio and then editing the hiccups outs it tries to do everything at once, creating unnecessary wait times, awful sound quality and overall terrible exports than then you end up having to manually fix yourself anyways. They also have the audacity to charge people for their garbage of an app, that creates problems to then try and sell you the solution. DO NOT PURCHASE.

Run as far away as you can. I wasted 3 months using riverside and we had to trash our entire last podcast episode because not only did the primary files fail but the back ups failed too. I worked with them for 3 months and all they could tell me was sorry. They offer great features but its no good if your files are corrupt or unrecoverable.

Spent hours in waiting for upload. Uploading stucks at 100% and then it doesn't upload anymore. Which is really annoying... I've already tried hundred times uploading an audio recording. My work is being cancelled because of this uploading issue...🙂

Web app had unexpected errors so had to use the Android app and my Bluetooth headphones. Glad I don't use Riverside with my own show. Update: turns out it was the AdGuard AdBlocker add-on that I run in Chrome and Edge. I don't run ad blockers in Firefox but Riverside doesn't support Firefox. Updated from 1 star to 3 stars. Should test how your web app responds to ad blockers.

The Riverside.FM app on Android is very user-friendly. I recorded a remote interview with a guest who was using an iPhone. Although the connection for the call was spotty due to the guest's cellular connection, the recording on each device was clean and clear as advertised. Each device uploaded the recording seamlessly. I use Riverside.fm for all of my podcast recording, and I highly recommend this app.

I love using Riverside.fm for my podcast recordings. It is great for video, audio, and clips. They keep adding features to make it better. Since I started using it, they've added a teleprompter, automatic video clip generation' and the ability to edit with AI. Game changer and time saver!!

Great quality and storage features! All it needs now is a single master time stamp that begins when recording starts so interrupted recordings do not show up as if they were an additional guest and latency between geographically dispersed guests do not talk over each other in the final product.

The mobile application does not show any options except start recording and uploading. But after the record is completed it does not show any option where I can find my recordings and the application does not show any option of using headphones or else or the options which are there in the link. The app is complete mess. I am having trouble to record directly using the application. When I try to record it through the link it just redirects me to the application.
