When I go into the editing studio to edit the video file it takes a lot more time than just clicking a button on the dashboard under the edited content already that the AI did automatically and it would be nice to add that AI audio correction directly from the dashboard page. > > I've been using Riverside for years, even before it had the new AI features. I have completely enjoyed Riverside and I have told many people to utilize it. I've taught people how to utilize it and it's been really great for them as well. I would actually love to have a sponsorship for Riverside on my podcast, Youtube channels, Linkedin, and so on. ----- ### "THE ROLLERCOASTER" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *7 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As someone who's used it over the last few years, I see all the strides the company is taking to make a much better product. Before, I would stop my membership because the product couldn't make something as simple as in-picture view if I was sharing a screen while they were focusing on AI. Now it seems like they're making better features I can actually use so I feel much better about consolidating my stack. > > **Cons**: I mentioned it in the pros about the biggest past cons I have, but I still find the web-based editor to be a little clunky but if it's for simple edits, I still use it. > > It's been a rollercoaster over the years where I've paid and have left, but it seems like we're in the good ol' days. Make features not just for the novelty of AI but actually being helpful. ----- ### "Riverside Makes Podcasting Easy" — 4.0/5 > **Kelly** | *4 April 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have made so many upgrades since I started using it 2 years ago. 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. ----- ### "Scaling my podcast to a legitimate business" — 5.0/5 > **Jacob** | *10 April 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside offers the most professional, high quality virtual recording platform. From marketing/branding, incorporating an audience, having the tools to cut short form videos and share them directly to social media. Riverside is DIRECTLY tied to our growth as a podcast company, offering scalable solutions to be able to grow all of our shows. > > **Cons**: The internet issues remain a hurdle when working with guests mostly. If not connected to strong wifi (which some people aren't) we see video become grainy, choppy, and sometimes we even lose the footage. This is very minimal, but it does present challenges from time to time. > > I would say our overall experience as a company is extremely positive. We have grown a ton, scaled our existing products, and offered new content. ----- ### "Best podcasting platform ever\!" — 5.0/5 > **Radha** | *6 May 2026* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that the platform is all inclusive. Everything you need is in one place. Also the whole experience is so intuitive. I was always daunted by the idea of hosting a podcast but Riverside make is so easy and affordable. You feel like they genuinely want to support podcasters to create the best podcast possible\! > > **Cons**: Honestly, I have yet to find anything I don’t likes the whole experience has been awesome. Thanks for creating such and awesome platform. > > Riverside is so easy to use. You don’t need any special equipment or even special skill. You just get on there press record and get going. I know there are lots of more advanced features that some people choose to use, but I have honestly never needed them. Riverside does everything for me, including cleanup, editing, hosting and creating all my promotional materials. It’s awesome\! ----- Page: 1 / 11\ 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
