Anchor Reviews

How easy it is to use, how quickly it distributes to the main apps and the low cost (we mainly use free but have dabbled with paid for features!)

Getting distributed in one of our podcasts took longer on some channels than it should but support investigated and found an error in the code that they quickly resolved.

It can be easily used to host and edit your own podcast or others. The ability to edit the podcasts and the audio through the app is something different from what other apps do.

There should be a ability to not just edit audio and video of things and podcast and have to pay so much for it. If its by spot ivy their should be integration with it and have music and other systems with it

As a beginner in the podcast industry, I was able to learn a lot of different production techniques and developed my audio and podcast skills so that I was able to sound much more professional as each episode continued.

The software does not necessarily get your information verified on Pandora, iHeartRadio and Amazon podcasting.

I love that it is super easy to use especially for someone just starting out podcasting and the fact that it's for free

The least I think is the functionality aspect of connecting to my website

Anchor keeps things really easy, and gives you the power to make the podcasts only available to certain people or globally.

Editing within Anchor can feel limited.

I like that this software is easy to use, integrates well with Spotify, and allows you to make podcasts from your phone.

Google integration from my tablet seemed to not always work when listening to podcasts got 404 errors.

it made posting to different platforms so easy.

we tried the recording and editing features and it lost a few recordings on us.

Possibility to click and drag any audio pre-recorded, music from Spotify can be added too, people can leave voicemails on your podcast as comments, user can add different transitions as well (to cut between segments for example).

App works with built in microphones but the quality is not great. Better record with an external microphones.

It was very easy to use, and made it super easy to upload podcast episodes on to Spotify.

There's not a lot of customization but it is simple to use and still good for those wanting to host a podcast.

Clipping segments together, adding background music, publishing to multiple platforms

Only one podcast supported per account... so I simply have multiple accounts

What I liked most was the practicality of using the editing resources, easy and intuitive to use, easy to integrate into business and monetization.

They could offer an option to extract audio or separate audio from video, there are no tools that are difficult to use, integration with businesses is a little difficult because it is necessary to have ads.

It's a great tool for podcasts. Anyone can use this software and start a podcast. They will even distribute your podcast to a ton of podcast directories and it's completely free. A must recommend software for those who are looking to start a podcast.

Although it's great for beginners, there is not monetization features available right now. You can earn money from this but it's not huge. Analytics features can be increased.

It’s free and doesn’t delete old episodes like other services do. Never had an issue with distribution with them.

It lacks a lot of features for things like premium channels. I also haven’t had a chance to check out their ad exchange

Five stars for this software. Easy to use, no comemrcials, free to use

Sometimes my macbook pro m1 pro dont have enough power to load everything fast

I love how easy Anchor is for me to set up my podcast. It saves me time and even I am not a tech person can manage to create a great content using Anchor and share my message with my audience.

I would love to see a cleaner interface. But it s not a big deal it works just fine.

What can I say? Anchor provided us with a way to get our podcast out into the mainstream media with little or no podcasting experience as well as being free

Very little cons except maybe more distribution outlets

The feature I found the most impactful is the option to have Anchor list your podcast on all the major outlets. They also take the hassle out of dealing with Apple.

I am not able to minimize my podcast from my country.

I like how you can add songs and sounds to your podcast. Recording audio is easy and they are stored on the cloud, making it easier to be accessed even after loosing your device.
The analytics is very informative and helps one to develop and adjust properly.

I would really love if there's an option for live streaming.
I would also like if people can easily send audio to you so you can easily add it to your podcast.

So much to like: The ease of uploading and releasing podcasts, the ease of getting the podcasts on some many different platforms, and the data about the podcasts,

Recording audio with Anchor is spotty at best. The distortion is unpredictable and best to record audio separate and upload to Anchor.

Such an amazing software for publoshing and podcasting used in our company .

little bit complicated for new person or student.

It makes it very easy to create podcast, one can even record directly from anchor mobile app and post, though audio quality may not be the best in such case.It gives audio editing options such as adding intro, outro before posting.It helps podcast grow by distributing it on various platforms.

Does not have features such as audio noise reduction.Podcast monetisation via paid subscription feature is currently available to only to select users, but is expected to be released soon.

I have known of Anchor for a while and I have to say that the platforms keeps getting better and better. Creating an episode with its Drag-and-Drop builder is as easy as saying '1, 2, 3!', and it includes sounds and sound effects you can add to your episodes. I'm a fan of the "co-recording" and co-hosting feature too, because it makes collaborating something you can do with just a couple of taps.

Every podcaster loves to grow their show and if they have costs, to cover those costs... well, Anchor comes to the rescue by offering several ways to monetize your podcast episodes, and to do so straight from the platform!

Plus, there is even a mobile app you can rely on

There have been some issues about Anchor "modifying" some of its content (for example, by adding a short promotional segment at the end of episodes of some podcasters).

Also, the analytics aren't as robust as those of other podcast hosting platforms.
