"AI Avatar features didn't work — and neither did the refund promise"

0/5

What do you like best about Descript?

NA - Nothing. The promises were unmet, and the AI tool Underlord -- well, it lives up to its name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

The AI Avatar/Underlord features are unreliable and the support process for resolving billing issues caused by those failures is worse. I spent days trying to produce one usable video. Underlord gave contradictory instructions throughout — each suggested fix created a new problem. AI credits were charged for Avatar generations that never completed. I brought in an outside AI consultant for a full day of dedicated work, and even she couldn't produce a working result on the platform.

Support did acknowledge the failures initially: they processed a $400 refund and offered an additional $545.48, which I accepted in writing. The $400 arrived. The remaining $545.48 — which they offered, not just me requesting — has never been paid, and I've had no response to follow-ups since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Descript solving and how is that benefiting you?

NA - NONE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Disappointing Experience with Overhyped Features"

0/5

What do you like best about Descript?

None Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I found Descript really didn't solve any video editing problems as promised. The text-based video editing feature was disappointing because when I removed a word, the video would cut several words before and after, making it unusable. The core promises of the software were not fulfilled, and my investment felt wasted. Additionally, attempting to use the AI feature for generating blogs was frustrating since the generated content disappeared and couldn't be found later. Overall, the software felt like a letdown, and I was dissatisfied with its performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Descript solving and how is that benefiting you?

I expected Descript to provide text-based video editing by removing words seamlessly, but it didn't work as promised. The AI features led to data loss, making the whole product useless to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Steep Learning Curve and Limited Support"

1/5

What do you like best about Descript?

I like the AI interaction, though the AI credit usage is quick. Transcript editing seems good for clarifying unclear words or cutting pauses and ums. The AI also helps in creating clips and trailers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I have a hard time with the learning curve for Descript. The subscription plans are confusing and there's no credit for unused subscriptions if I upgrade. The customer service is basically non-existent, just an AI bot. Some features require the business plan, like using my own branding assets, and I can't upload some video formats. The onboarding process isn't great, and I think they should provide more material for new users. Their system doesn't let me experiment freely at the learning stage since the AI credits run out quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

[Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/descript-review-12236041/official_response/edit)

I am so sorry to hear about your experience so far, and about the lost edits.

We offer refunds up to 48 hours from the most recent invoice, but in rare cases, can offer one-time exceptions.

Losing edits is a very rare issue that we hope our team took incredibly seriously.

If you can let us know the Ticket number, we'd be happy to work with our support team to reopen this case and make sure we address it fully.

"Started Strong and Devolved"

1/5

What do you like best about Descript?

Initially, I most liked that I could remove filler words as my co-host and I were getting used to speaking less in "umms" and "likes." It allowed us to transcribe the entire episode by speaker and edit. That basic function is not really effective anymore, however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

How significantly it has gone downhill in about a year of use. EVBRY single time I log in to use it, there is "a new version of descript" and it consistently gets less effective, harder to navigate, and slower. The primary need I had for this tool was transcription and removing filler words but it's not even properly transcribing those words anymore, nor identifying the correct speakers. Downloads take hours (on 2GB hardwired fiber so not the internet) when they should take minutes. Publishing functions are not granular enough and lack real control. They also outright lied about their new pricing (which is published on their site) when I tried to cancel, effectively trying to scare me into staying. This had the opposite impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Descript solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially, it was helping us transcribe our podcast, remove filler words, and edit video. Unfortunately, the functionality is so much worse now we've had to move away from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hey there Mackenzie, first off, I'm sorry to hear you had a negative experience with Descript over this past year! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us, and it sounds like multiple factors led to your experience, from the frequency of updates, app slowness, and pricing changes.

You're totally right, our team is regularly shipping updates as we try to improve Descript, and I apologize for the thrash that caused you! You can choose to ignore that prompt to restart if you're in the middle of a project, but I get how that can be annoying. As for the bugginess, our support team would be happy to look into any specific issues with features you faced. If you'd like to report those, you can reach out to support here: https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. On the pricing front, it was never our intention to scare anyone with those changes! If you can share what you found specifically confusing about those updates, please do let us know so we can investigate it ASAP and make any needed clarity changes.

We appreciate that you used Descript for your podcast, and I know we don't always get everything right -- your feedback helps us improve, so thanks again for sharing with us. If it's not too late, we'd love to work with you to make it right. Otherwise, best of luck with your podcast!

"Deceptive Pricing"

1/5

What do you like best about Descript?

Hard to say what I like, because I just got text I cannot read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

Very deceptive pricing model, charging you twice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Descript solving and how is that benefiting you?

I came across this service and asked a client to go ahead and record a meeting in Greek, thinking I could use this service to translate.

A 1 hour 35 minute audio file was uploaded and i paid for 2 hours. They also said I would receive 30 minutes free. Great.

It transcribed into Greek text, useless to me because I don't speak Greek but that's why I was using their system, clicked 'Translate" and got this: "You need more time. 54 minutes 42 seconds remaining, to continue translating this transcript you need to have 1 hour 35 minutes 17 seconds."

That is NOT how their pricing is described. I paid for 2 hours translation, not just Greek text. Also on G2 I see their pricing as $5 per hour, no they charge $10 per hour and apparently you have to pay for the tranascription and then pay the same again for the translation, so it's actually $20 per hour.

Hi Alan! I'm so sorry to hear you had this experience and found our pricing to be confusing, and I would love to help make this right! I'm not exactly sure what you mean by translation, and I think we need some more context on this to get this sorted. On our free plan, you should get 1 hour of free transcription per month. Any additional transcription time beyond that hour would require payment. Would you mind reaching out to me directly so I can look into this further? You can reach me by email at christiana@descript.com. Or, you can submit a ticket directly to our support team: https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Looking forward to helping you out here, and thanks for taking the time to share feedback!

"Great idea, poor execution, frequently buggy, and dismissive of customer concerns."

1/5

What do you like best about Descript?

On the surface, Descript is a great tool. It allows those of us that aren't super video and audio savvy to make nice content in an easy way and shores up a lot of shortcomings for things like audio quality that plague content creation in the business world these days.

Descript has a number of great features like "studio sound", automated transcription, editing via script, and these are all excellent features and worthy of praise because there's nothing quite like it on the market right now.

Let me be very clear. When Descript works, it's AWESOME. We use it daily and heavily to the tune of nearly 100 hours a month.

When Descript doesn't work, it's incredibly frustrating and it costs me a ton of money.

The ability to collaborate to make changes and to bring on additional users is also generally very easy. Scalability is nice and easy, plus it's a widely recognized platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

- on the fly, unannounced updates that will invalidate your old projects and make accessing them difficult on a regular basis because of version mismatches.

- overbearing pushing of their acquisition of Squadcast.

- Difficult to access help and out of date help articles. The development on this goes so fast they sometimes don't even update the patch page within a week.

- Dismissive of customer concerns

- Customer service is kind, but often are ineffective, generally relying on the "oh hey we just patched that..." excuse.

- Descripts transcription creation and file exporting functions are not 100% reliable, so I get billed for time I use that's useless. No remedy has ever been offered for this from Descript.

- The above discord community area for discussin bugs was promptly closed down at the first of the year 2024 and the community was switched over to a "wow we're so great here at descript." The community is now useless unless you want to sing their praises.

- The moment anothe product like Descript comes out that has similar features, we're done with Descript.

- Descript has had bouts of unreliability so frequently that I've spent nearly 5 figures paying for things to be redone by my team that are not their fault, but rather a result of Descript's programming being buggy and unreliable when asked to execute a task like exporting a video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Descript solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't need hyper specialized adobe skills to work on videos that my editors who are more skilled than I work on. It's a great way to get into this like Canva is for graphic design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hey there Robb, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts here. I'm sorry to read that your frustrations and issues with the tool outweigh the upside, and I know you've voiced these concerns in Discord in the past so I want to say thank you for your consistency in sharing feedback.

Your feedback on reliability issues and performance is completely valid, and we're taking this on the chin. These are major focus areas for our team in 2024, and we're on track to make significant improvements. I feel hopeful that your experience will improve in the next few months as we focus here and continue to grow the team working on this.

A few things I want to note—we now have a team member dedicated to managing our releases and communicating via the changelog, so updates there are always in step with our releases. As for Discord, I can speak to this more specifically as I'm on the community team; the Discord is not closed and it remains the right place to share bugs and concerns. Due to feedback from server members and the need to scale conversations as we neared 20,000 members, we changed the structure of the channels, from chat style to threaded forum style. The content of the Discord has remained the same. There is no requirement for messages to be positive, and if you scroll in the ask the community channel, you will see that folks are certainly still sharing bugs and negative experiences. I'd love to invite you back into the Discord (invite linked below) so you can see this for yourself, but no pressure if you're not interested. If you're having trouble navigating the new structure, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to jump on a call and give you a tour.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your review! Wishing you and your business all the best.

"Great Idea, Miserable Execution"

0/5

What do you like best about Descript?

The text editing does save a lot of time. That's just about it though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

In the one year I have been using Descript I have NOT ONCE been able to export my video files without a hassle. This basic, essential feature of a video editing app just seems too muh for descript too handle.

Whether I'm trying to export a 20 minute or a 60 second video - the app crashes, or the export will just stop, Their publishing feature which is supposed to e faster is utter garbage too - doesn't work half of the time.

Customer service is non-existent, First it takes them DAYS to reply, and then their replies are not even helpful in the slightest.

Not to mention a myriad of all the other annoying bugs - like app crashing mid-editing, being SUPER slow - slower than Adobe Premier Pro ever was.

I wanted so much for it to be worth the try but all the time you save with using their text edits feature you loose with their annoying bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Descript solving and how is that benefiting you?

None - because it's virtually useless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Christiana Cromer of Descript

[Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/descript-review-10488544/official_response/edit)

Hey there, I'm really sorry to hear you've had a negative experience with our product! I can assure you, we have no contempt for our users, and our entire team aims to build a product that makes creating video and audio easier. Of course that doesn't mean we get it right every time, though.

We take customer feedback very seriously at Descript, and I would love to hear more about the bugs you're running into and everything else that led to your negative experience so we can investigate. If you'd like to share more details so we can have proper context, don't hesitate to email our support team at support@descript.com and we'll get to the bottom of the issues you're facing. Specifically for the beta tester comment, I'd love to know what feature made you feel this way; we label all of our beta features as such so users know when to expect potential weirdness.

We hope to hear from you, but regardless, thanks for the feedback!
