It's easy to record and editing has gotten a lot easier. > > **Cons**: It's still very glitchy. We I'm editing the buffering sometimes drives me mad. i don't know if it's them or my wifi connection. And when I used the VideoDub to edit a word in a Magic Clip it also changed the word not just in that clip but in the longer episode and I didn't like the way it sounds. Couldn't change it back. > > Overall I guess the pros out weigh the cons. It's not perfect but I would say it's a good experience. I like that they are always adding new things. ----- ### "Riverside - makes you an expert podcast producer overnight\!" — 5.0/5 > **Devon** | *12 March 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use Riverside to produce our YouTube podcast, and it's truly the best most affordable app on the market. It's so easy to use it makes you look like a genius when it comes to editing and clipping. The customer support is above and beyond as well. I've had exactly three times where an issue was outside my control, and they quickly fixed the issue, communicated what happened, and fixed the entire video. It uses AI to auto edit sound to sound like studio quality, perfect picture quality, and very branding friendly. > > **Cons**: I wish there was an easier way to manually clip moments even though the AI clipping is great. I wish it gave you the option to change the thumbnail when hosting for sites like Spotify, YouTube, etc. And I'd like it to upload video to Spotify rather than just the audio. > > Phenomenal product and made our podcast really skyrocket off the ground rather than having to spend hours learning how to use video editing software. ----- ### "Great when it works awful when you have issues seeking support" — 2.0/5 > **Sean** | *9 June 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's great when it works because it can cut down on a lot of edit time. What could take me hours to pull together clips it can be created in minutes. > > **Cons**: The support team responses are awful when you run into an issue. There's a default it's not us it's you type response which can be gaslighting when you know it's not user error. > > Solid tool for the times it works as expected. But for the times it doesn't it can be tough to get the help needed to address your concerns. Best not to rely on support for more than shared links for you to figure it out on your own. ----- ### "Riverside is the key to long-term podcast success" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *24 February 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside is easy to use, priced right, and they continue to add great features. We tried a few other platforms before finding Riverside, and it has saved us so much time and frustration, we can't imagine using anything else. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. We wish sending assets out (syndication) was a strength, but that would simply be a plus. > > Super solid, reliable, and easy to use. Far and away the best podcasting recording and editing solution available today. ----- ### "Great Recording Quality, But Needs More Robust Editing Features" — 5.0/5 > **Sheldon** | *10 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside offers high-quality audio and video recording, which is one of its biggest strengths. The local recording feature ensures that content remains clear even if internet connection drops. The platform is relatively easy to use, and having everything in one place for recording, basic editing, and exporting makes the workflow efficient. > > **Cons**: There can be occasional glitches with syncing audio/video or uploading recordings, which can disrupt workflow. The editing tools are somewhat limited compared to more advanced software, and the pricing can feel high for what’s offered, especially if you need more control in post-production. > > Overall, Riverside is a solid platform for recording podcasts and remote interviews, especially for users who prioritize simplicity and quality. It’s a good all-in-one solution, but it may require supplemental tools for more advanced editing or production needs. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/386167/riverside?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/386167/riverside) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
