Functionality of the app is 👎🏻

Love the platform, hate the app. The app is struggling to edit basic AI functions that are executed seamlessly on a desktop. Trying to access the web browser and browser forces me to the app which is having a difficult time. Additionally, the only edit function without AI on the app is to trim the video and text editor. Really really frustrating.

Martial art

Awesome

Yes, Riverside…

This was such an easy-to-use process and app. Thank You for offering such a reliable space 🙂

Unfair subscription practices

Very simply the company makes it incredibly tedious and annoying to actually cancel you’re subscription. Quit being scum bags

Recent updates locked users out of standard features

I have been using Riverside for nine months. Their recent updates removed editing features that we relied on for a podcast editing. I'm fine upgrading to add back the new features. However, I cannot upgrade without "scheduling a demo". I did the free seven day business plan upgrade and it still did not give me access to standard editing features. This is extremely disappointing as I am now two weeks behind on posting podcast because I cannot edit them.

Easily Sidetracked

All around awesome

Mr Kings

A great app

Been watching for 2 years

I've been watching Riverside now for two years, and I've absolutely fallen in love with it. I recommend it to anybody who's looking to:
- record
- do lives
- be on social media platforms all at the same time
- be able to stream right into your own SaaS product
- edit it
- put in lower thirds
- do a whole bunch of nifty, difty things


Great job, Riverside. Keep up the great work!

Very poor

Keeps freezing and the text doesn’t sync with video. The help button does nothing. Have to reboot every time want to do a retake

Can’t reliably record without internet

Incredibly annoying that you can’t reliably record without an internet connection. Lost some very important work. The description in the App Store is very misleading by implying you can record without an internet connection - “Riverside captures every track locally, so your quality stays sharp even when your connection doesn’t.” But here’s what someone in Support wrote to me: “To clarify: the mobile app does need an active internet connection throughout a recording. It isn't able to cache footage locally and resume the upload later if the connection drops for an extended period…” The app description should clearly be changed. What’s the point if you can’t trust that the app will work if you lose connection? Cancelled.

So disappointing!!!!

I worked super hard on a 40 minute recording and then when he played again, I thought it was the test short video and accidentally deleted it. There is no way to retrieve deleted videos the app kept crashing as well and telling me there is no Internet connection although there was! So I deleted the app in order to reinstall it it not only deleted my recent recording, it also deleted my entire studio and chat with the support person! This is absolutely horrible! I cannot use this service anymore 😭

Kept failing

I was a guest on a podcast, and tried the app on my iPad because I didn’t have Chrome on my Mac. It kept failing to connect. When I finally got through, everything froze up. Twice.

I downloaded Chrome and the web page worked fine, so I don’t think it was a network issue (both devices were on the same desk).

It was briefly fine but not reliable at all.

Laptop joining difficult

Easy on my phone but impossible from my laptop. Kept asking for subscription!

Broken

I’m paying for an app that won’t let a guest join…. I want a refund

App version broken

The last update broke the mobile app. I can no longer edit and all I can do is save videos to my phone. No point in that.

Great app

Very useful

The new update has ruined how the app works.

This app used to work really well for making and exporting clips and the latest update has made it completely unusable.

I Get It

I get that everything costs money, but for someone starting out in podcasting trying to grow, why would you limit the free version to only 2hrs of recording just to force a person to have to get a subscription. That’s not cool guys

Waste of time

Total waste of time. Too complex to figure out and the subscription isn’t what it appears to be.
Once you are in the studio a simple request for audio and you are taken to an alternative expensive choice of payments for audio as well as trying to figure out how it all works.
There’s bound to be something else out there that’s easier to navigate and doesn’t cost a fortune.

Horrible app

I tried it but it just can’t edit a 2 minute video into a 40 or 60 second reel the worse part is the quality. Looks 720P.
