Anchor is the best podcasting software because it's intuitive and you get so much out of it without paying a hefty price. I love that I can record my podcast even when I am offline Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The login process can be a bit confusing with a possibility of creating multiple accounts without you even noticing it. This can be frustrating when you want to log back in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anchor has simple interface controls. With a little bit of time invested testing buttons and options, you can modify your podcast to what you like. We have not used competitors, so cannot speak to "this vs. that." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would prefer that files be more easily shared to platforms other than Spotify. While Spotify is my personally preferred platform, Some clients and friends use other software and would prefer our "product" be offered elsewhere, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was so easy to use! The very first time i used the app, it was really easy to use! I didn't have to be walked through it, it was very simple and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A downside is that the guest doesn't get a saved copy of the episode automatically when it's done recording. I also wish there was a video feature because it would be fun to watch each other while podcasting. The episodes could be better if people could feed off of each other's facial expressions, which would be helpful to the podcasters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Anchor sends my podcast out to several podcatcher platforms so I do not have to upload to many platforms individually. Easy to upload and edit audio and video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish it was easier to promote the podcast from within the Anchor platform to external platforms. Also it has not proved to be easy to get ads from using Anchor alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anchor is completely intuitive to use for uploading podcast audio, sharing episodes, and tracking listenership data. We just use it to run a small departmental podcast, but I can easily see Anchor working at a larger scale; I know of a couple other users at our school that use it for bigger projects. They handle all of the platform access, so I didn't have to navigate all the different options, and again the interface is so user-friendly and easy without feeling barebones. Plus, you literally can't beat the price.

Basically - I am not even really using half of what Anchor can do, and I already love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have just a couple of minor quibbles with Anchor, mostly tiny quirks in the episode creation process. For instance, when you're uploading audio, you have to Save the episode before adding a title, description, and other info. Not a huge deal, but an extra step that I wish could be compressed - I would prefer to upload into an "episode" rather than add info to a file. The scheduling/posting also has a few foibles; a couple of times, I've thought an episode was scheduled for later only to have it post immediately, or an episode had saved as a draft when I thought it would post. These aren't all the tool's fault, but the scheduling is just a tad unclear at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up your account and starting your first episode is extremely easy! Once you get logged in, you can quickly begin recording from your phone and then organize your recorded clips. Once comfortable, you can start adding music and finishing up your episodes! It's easy to add music to the background of clips and then make your podcast live! It's easy to add it to streaming services as well! We started our podcast from scratch and found it easy and fun! The browser option is also beneficial! We've been able to upgrade microphones for better quality recordings and higher quality episode building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not the best for editing clips. You can trim audio, but there is not highly sophisticated editing software. There also is not a great option for multiple voices per segment. You can use a phone call for interviews, but you lose sound quality due to the inconsistency of phone microphones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to add your podcast. You can earn money in various ways. Schedule your podcast. Produce your podcast from within the software. Hosting is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The paid ads from Anchor are few and far between. They say they are matching you with advertisers, but all the ads I've done have been for Anchor or Spotify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anchor is extremely easy to use and feels very intuitive. I don't have a lot of experience with podcasting but this made it simple. It helps manage the process for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there isn't a lot to dislike with Anchor. You have to do a little advertising for them but that's a small thing compared to what you gain access to do nothing to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anchor is free and it allows anyone to create a podcast. It provides all the tools you need and makes it very simple to create and distribute your podcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that really sticks out. The only thing that I can think of is that the links don't carry over to all the platforms like Spotify. This is probably not Anchor's fault but something don't by the other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to use and edit audio, using a variety of stock sounds and effects. I use this with Spotify to share my podcast. It's by far the most comprehensive tool for podcast creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to be honest, I wish it was more popular and had a better guidance on how to monetize a podcast. This product could be enhanced by allowing users to edit the podcast online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
