"Easy to use and everything looks very professional"
What do you like best about Riverside?

It's quite intuitive and I really need that.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I haven't found anything yet. However, I wish Riverside included the Nvidia app where the eyes focused on the camera while I was reading from the teleprompter.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm just starting to produce content so I'm not even aware of the problems that await me, but learning to operate the studio AND editing features are saving me lots of time.

"Riverside drowns the competition"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside is easy to navigate, easy to use, and I have yet to experience technical glitches as I did (incessantly) with Zoom.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

If I edit a recording, I can't export an audio-only format of that, which is a hindrance at times. I would love to edit in Riverside and export the tracks of my edit, rather than export the video and have to extract the audio another way.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I switched to Riverside from Zoom for recording podcast interviews, and the improvement has been 100-fold. I wish I would have started with Riverside rather than try to scrape by on Zoom.

"Professional video and audio recording for TV and Podcasts"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love the easy to use interface and my guests just click one link to join me in the studio. The quality is maintained by recording on local devices throughout the session and then uploading to cloud the final version. I use Riverside 12 times a month and would recommend it to any podcaster.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Sometimes my guests have issues joining the studio from tablets and so I recommend they join from a laptop or PC.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease of use for my podcast guests to join me at their convenience from their own location without the need for much technical understanding.

So far, I haven't had any negative issues.

"Riverside.fm is a versatile recording tool that can turn novices into pros"
What do you like best about Riverside?

There are many things I love about Riverside, including: - High quality video and audio recordings - Separate tracks for each guest, which gives me freedom in editing - Multiple easy to use editing tools to make short clips for any social media platform - Incredible AI generated captions that can be easily edited, and used to edit the clip (have to see this) - Highly responsive and effective support (there are problems from time to time, but they solve them 100%) - They listen to their customers and build in valuable features - It's highly affordable for what you get - Easy for anyone to use, including older, non-tech savvy folks - Plenty of available training that's short, clear, and to the point I am a huge fan of the product, the company, and all that they do. I put so many people on Riverside because it's the best tool around.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There isn't much I don't like. I'd like even more features in the editor.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to record high quality video testimonials from customers all over the world. This allows us to generate high quality video and audio of those individuals and capture their opinions on a separate track,

"Very Satisfied Product User"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I LOVE Riverside.fm. I've been podcasting and using Riverside for a year or more and could not be any more pleased. I moved from Zoom to Riverside as recommended by my producer, and I couldn't be happier with that decision. I have since recommended it to other podcasters and video content creators. Riverside continues to upgrade its platform, making it easy to edit, download, and export videos for content creators and podcasters who are not experts in that field. I typically focus on making money, and my producer does all the tech related to videos and podcasting; HOWEVER, Riverside has made it so EASY that even I can do it and often do when I want to publish something and not wait on my publisher. I now use Riverside for my Reels for Facebook and Instagram, and I do them myself. Riverside is an absolutely no-brainer. I started on the lower-level tier and quickly upgraded early this year when I decided I was going all in on video creation. They are my tool of choice! Thank you, Riverside......I love you all. I get excited with every email of a new launch. Keep them coming...I'm building many of them in my 2024 business strategy for visibility and influence. I will also be teaching them in my newly launched community!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

NOTHING! I love everything about this product. I have a smile on my face every time I open an email or a video from you with a newly launched feature. And....when I hear the guy say in the video, "many more coming,".....I get giddy!

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use three tools that I wrap up into what I call MY MARKETING AGENCY. Riverside.fm is one of those three. You have launched some features lately that I haven't had the chance to use; however, they are on my list for my 2024 business strategy. I just started a new free community and added three paid memberships. I want to give the VIP members access to the audience feature for the podcast. I also want to start doing panel podcasting and be able to allow my community members to be able to ask the podcast guest questions. I have had the chance to research to see if I can do this in Riverside, but I will figure something out. I love the option to stream live to multiple platforms. I canceled Streamyard when I discovered I could do that within Riverside. I haven't done it yet because I need to research it more. But I have many ideas on my 2024 list.

"Riverside is the Industry Leader"

Riverside makes remote recording incredibly simple and intuitive. Podcast hosts and producers can easily schedule, record, and produce their podcasts in Riverside without a lot of heavy lifting. The audio and and video look and sound great, and Riverside is always adding powerful new features.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There's not much to dislike. Whenever we have any issues, which is rare, Riverside is quick to respond and provide solutions.

"Support is top-notch!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The software is easy to learn and use. My first recording had 15 minutes missing at the end and I was so stressed out about it. I reached out to support and they helped me so quickly. The backup recording was perfect and I was able to launch my podcast on time. Since joining they have upgraded their editing and provide a transcript which is very helpful. I highly recommend Riverside for anyone who wants to start a podcast.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There are glitches with the primary videos sometimes, but having the backup recordings takes away the frustration. I would prefer not to have to deal with glitches, but I believe the company provides enough copies of the recordings so that there are options, and that gives me hope..

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gives me a user-friendly option for recording and editing audio and video for my podcast. It was the most user-friendly platform that I tried. I was referred by another user, who I am so thankful for telling me about Riverside.

"It does what it promises"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love that it records locally, so any wifi hiccups aren't caught in the recording. I also love the ability to mark the video at certain spots (creating the clips).

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Downloading the clip info isn't very intuitive.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

If we'd like to record someone remotely and they haven't got a great wifi connection, Riverside is a fantastic choice, since it records locally.

I am doing my videopodcast and it works perfectly.

"Amazing platform and superior service!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love that it does not matter how weak either participants internet might be - because it records to the browser first it can finish the upload to Riverside even after recording is finished. This is amazing for Digital Nomads with iffy internet. I use Riverside at least 3x per week. It's super easy to use and is 100% browser based with nothing to install.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Nothing, their service is very good. They even helped me recover some deleted recordings when I lost them from my computer after downloading!!

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a Podcast that I release 3 episodes a week for, so I use Riverside to record all my remote interviews through.

Incredibly easy to use both for me and for my guests, and great quality with basic editing and sound improvements within the platform.

"The. Best."
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside is the absolute, hands-down best podcast recording platform available for beginners through experts. No competition, I've loved using their platform for my new podcast, Anti-Hero's Journey. The support they've provided has been professional and prompt and the AI tools they have available for putting clips into my social media have made my life so much easier.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The AI clips sometimes miss the mark and aren't super high quality, but that's just the nature of generative large language modeling with transcript-based clipping.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I couldn't have a podcast without them. It's been so easy I can't believe that everyone doesn't use Riverside.

"The best video conference recording experience I've had for my youtube channel"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside prioritizes the recording quality over the live stream, which is good for my youtube needs. It is also light enough for non-professional guests to open up a link and just start recording even if they have amateur setups.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

It has happened that a couple guests get stuck at the loading screen so I always make sure they have a way to message me if they have any trouble getting into the recording studio.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

High quality recording of video call. This is one format I use on my youtube channel. The suggested edits are also pretty good. I can use them to guide my editing. The seperately recorded audio tracks are nice and clean and often let me troubleshoot issues.
