You have to redo your recordings 10000000x times due to issues with the system or glitches. I literally was so patient with them but I'm so done with this software. Literally run away and go find another company that makes real products. ----- ### "Riverside Makes Podcasting Easy" — 4.0/5 > **Kelly** | *April 4, 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. ----- ### "Best podcasting app out there, super easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Jules** | *September 6, 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside is SO easy to use. It used to take me hours and hours to do a podcast manually (legit, 20-30 hours to edit audio and video). Now I can do it in about 30 minutes or less. Literally, the magic audio feature will shave 10-15 hours off your workflow, and helps your guests make up for not having a pro-quality mic. I've had guests just use their internal mic and Magic Audio fixes it. Taking out the Ums and Uhs is a single button click. > > **Cons**: Not a lot of cons, honestly. Super intuitive. I had 3 podcasts out of 100 go janky, 1 was from a software glitch and 1 was an electrical storm (that one never got recovered and we had to re-record). 2 of them the service team helped me recover which was massive. > > Overall it's super intuitive and easy to use, no learning curve. I highly recommend it. They have a Magic Clips feature which offers totally decent and automated clips from what you do, but you can also download the raw video/audio files and feed to Opus to get even more short clips for social. I love the download transcript feature too, because I feed that into Chat and ask for the 6 most important parts of the podcast and what timecode it's at, so now I can easily find 2-3 great clips to start my podcast with. Overall, it's a great value for all the tools you get. ----- ### "Riverside Has Everything a Podcaster Could Need From Start To Finish\!" — 5.0/5 > **Aline** | *September 8, 2026* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Riverside is a very well thought out platform to help podcast creators have the tools that they need all in one place. You can record, edit and host your podcast all in one easy to use space. > > **Cons**: Once in a while Riverside has issues with connectivity. This typically only happens when we have a guest on. Since their newest update it has gotten a lot better. > > Overall I would have to say that Riverside has been an amazing platform for a new podcaster, like myself. It is easy for someone who's never touched editing software to understand and navigate. It is filled with helpful tools to help you learn how to edit and produce your own episodes. There is an option for all of your podcasting needs. Everything is organized and very well maintained. It is nice to know that everything you record is kept in one organized place. Before and after recording I find it easy to have meetings with my co-host through the live feed. For everything that is available on the website, I believe it is a great vaule, however for a new podcaster it is quite out of budget. It gives me security to know that everything I need is available in one place. So far I have not needed to reach out to customer service, however I imagine that they would take care of any issues that I have. ----- ### "Stick with Zoom over Riverside\!" — 3.0/5 > **Shannon** | *November 22, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the video download quality. It was clear and high quality recordings I could use in my self-paced courses. I also liked many of the editing features like being able to take out portions of video by simply taking out the text transcript. So easy\! > > **Cons**: A lot of things were not as good as Zoom. You can’t share sound only. If you want to share your computer sound you must also share that screen with your audience or students. I’m a dance teacher so this is a feature I have to have. You can buy MP3s and then upload them to Riverside and play them, but the music will not line up with your body movements or mouth if you’re a singer in the recording. Laying music tracks over your video is nearly impossible in the editor because it randomly just jumps around. You also can’t animate graphics or text like you can if editing in Canva. Meaning, you can’t have things bounce in or anything special. The screen share is also an odd view, there is white space in the recording over the screen. > > Overall, it may be good for talking head videos or podcasters, but if you are an educator or want music or the ability to have a lot of co grip over the timeline graphics and text, this is not the software I would choose. The price is reasonable, but features just aren’t there for me that I use daily. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1042331/riverside?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1042331/riverside) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
