Riverside: Record podcasts

Riverside.fm

About this app

Riverside.fm is the easiest way to record podcasts and videos in studio quality from anywhere.
The platform is ideal for podcasters, media companies, and online content creators that prioritize quality. You can capture up to 4K video and 48kHz WAV audio, regardless of your internet connection. With local recording, everything records directly on your device instead of over the internet. The app automatically uploads all files to the cloud so you can access them from your desktop and use Riverside’s online tools, to enhance your content. Record with up to 8 participants in one session, and download separate audio and video tracks to maximize your editing control. Plus, you can use Multicam mode to turn your phone into a secondary webcam for your desktop (and often your mobile phone has a far better camera than your laptop webcam). With Riverside.fm, you can record high-quality audio and video content even when you're on the move. It’s the perfect solution for dynamic webinars or talking head-style videos that can be shared on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram.

The easy-to-use platform is used by podcasters, media companies, and online content creators that care about quality. You receive locally recorded, individual WAV audio and up to 4k video tracks for up to 8 participants per session.

Ratings and reviews

So, I decided to try this app for my current Spotify Podcast, "P1eces of Trash" and when my co-host and I finished recording. It did not save it at all. There are also no clear indicators or tutorials that show you how to see it or how to use the app effectively. This app is definitely one that I would not recommend for begineers at all. Please fix this issue for new users. Thank you.

Trying to start and it requires access to your phone and calls to work. I shouldn't have to be required to enable this when I am only recording myself. After I enabled all the devices and said no to notifications I still got the message that it can't work w/out device permissions. Notifications should not be required to use an app! Only here because Spotify recommended after taking over Anchor. So far, not an easy or good experience. Prime example of screwing up something that worked well.

I'm lost How am I to use this software? I don't see any "How To's" or tutorials on the use of this software at all. From the discription it sounds easy. After having downloaded this, app I'm immediately intimidated it's not as advertised as ease of use. I did manage to record 2 sample files. However I can not access these from my cell phone. Please where do I find the necessary help to get off to a better start than this. It's not as intuitive as described. And that's a bad first impression
