## Reviews

### "DON'T SIGN UP" — 1.0/5

> **Elijah** | *March 8, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Cons**: This is probably one of the worst softwares that I have used fro recordings. 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.

### "HIGHLY Recomnend Riverside\! All the Way\!" — 5.0/5

> **Debbie** | *June 26, 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am impressed with all the great features that Riverside provides. I satisfied with the audio, etc.
> 
> **Cons**: I have zero complaints with any of the features or support provided by the super team. Impressed with great support it provides.
> 
> My overall experience is OUTSTANDING from every angle. I really enjoy the live stream, the host website, etc

### "Great product, outstripping support and training though." — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *July 13, 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoy all the capabilities it provides.  Being able to record, edit, and publish all right from here is fantastic.
> 
> **Cons**: With all the capabilities it has, there has to be some sort of additional training outside of just the youtube videos because they don't give the amound of detail needed to really become and expert in the product.  Wholesale changes to the interface was also an unwelcome shock to the system.
> 
> Overall very good until something goes wrong becuase the support is not up to the quality of the program itself.  Too hard to reach, too long to respond...

### "Seeds and secrets: The Faith Files" — 5.0/5

> **Donovan** | *May 27, 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: First of all, Riverside's learning curve was so manageable. I was starting from a place where I knew what I wanted to do and I had a vision and a passion but I didn't really have all of the technical know-how and even more so the time to get to know the system and I feel like Riverside from the start was very intuitive. It's very secure. I've never had any issues with login or any sort of security breaches. Any issues I've ever had with customer support as far as like billing, follow-up or changing cards or updating card info. It's all been really easy. My ability to create the projects that I envision have absolutely been possible because of Riverside. Me and my team are able to communicate in a way that's so effective. I shared a link with my co-host when we first got the Riverside studio set up and he's been able to just repeat, get right in the studio every time there's never any fuss. We don't ever have sound issues with the premium version which is so worth it. You get all the different magic studio features that are just insurmountable and I'm even waiting for my show to grow in a way to where we can utilize the feature where someone is just in there and is actually just playing the producer role controlling the camera, switching the media doing that sort of thing. So overall 10 out of 10 great products would recommend absolutely.
> 
> **Cons**: There were some limitations about Riverside that I didn't like. For example, a lot of the really fancy green screen effects and floating banners and things like that aren't really big, but I also realized that wasn't really going to add value the way I thought it would to a product if it didn't already have value.
> 
> Overall, I really love Riverside. I would recommend it 10 out of 10. It's a great starting place and it's also a great place to continue. I'm using it for my podcast. We record we don't use it to stream and it's been great. The AI integration has been wonderful the way that you can just type in there and ask it to make an edit for you and it'll ask follow-up questions and then do the cut and then ask if that's okay and if you want any changes it's been great.
