I'm a first time podcast host and the tool is easy, multiple options and tools for branding, and great value for the cost. > > **Cons**: I was initially overwhelmed as a first time podcast host with all the options. Once I got a few recordings in, the options became huge value drivers and more intuitive as I worked in the tool. > > I recommend for anyone starting a podcast. Riverside is a great all in one source for a podcast host and friendly for guests joining the studio. ----- ### "Fast becoming my all-in-one hub" — 4.0/5 > **Adam** | *21 August 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ai and audio tools, multicamera possibilities, social media automation and that's it now entirely period. > > **Cons**: automatic magic editing takes some time to adjust to - understanding my level of control when audio is 'cleaned up' > > pretty good. it's increasingly becoming my central hub for all podcast needs and that's it entirely. ----- ### "Great when it works awful when you have issues seeking support" — 2.0/5 > **Sean** | *09 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. ----- ### "Video Creating, Editing, and Delivery best bang for the buck" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *01 June 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: With Riverside, adding Guests, taping, editing, creating shorts, and much more are made super simple. This is all done at a reasonable cost compared to going to separate services. > > **Cons**: There are some limitations with the editing. I find I do my initial edit in Riverside, which is really super easy, then I download it and use a more powerful PC based editor to complete the edits for a much more polished look. Its not that you cannot get a professional look from Riverside's editing, however, I had a format I was using PRIOR to coming to Riverside and wanted to maintain that, which I found I could not do with their editor. > > Riverside has really streamlined the entire process for me. As I am learning the new features, things just get better and better. For example, I can load my show notes into Riverside, and it can help me give my Episode a title, or a short YouTube description. It can be helpful in creating a thumbnail as well with AI. I think the biggest time saver is how it creates the shorts. The AI has become very good at doing this, and if you feel like it cut something off or started too late, you can easily go in and edit the short by following the transcript, making it easy to find the word or phrase you want to add to your clip. The biggest time saver in editing is how it can remove all of you dead air moments, of your Ummm's and Ahh's, almost seamlessly. Really, it is a no-brainer. For the price, you get high-quality video, most of your video-creating tasks and editing done for you, and when I had to use customer support, they were spot on and very helpful. ----- ### "Love Riverside for Podcasting and Content Creation" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *06 September 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ease of recording my podcast and other content on Riverside. I started podcasting without any training and I've been able to learn as I go with Riverside. They have also consistently improved their platform over the past two years that I have been a customer. Which I haven't gotten super quick help from customer service, it has been kind and helpful. One thing that I really like is that Riverside feels very human, even though they do incorporate AI to help with magic clips, etc. > > **Cons**: I would like a chat option, maybe there is now, but I haven't been able to get help in the moment I really needed it in the past > > I love Riverside\! It's been great for me to record and edit my podcast and other content about medical trauma. I didn't start with any podcasting experience and Riverside felt manageable for me to learn. I know there is so much more I could be doing with the platform and when I have a little bit of time I will learn how to do more with it. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2064508/riverside?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2064508/riverside) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
