• It records locally, not through the browser. You get clean audio and video even when internet hiccups happen. That alone separates it from most platforms.
• The audio quality is broadcast-level. Up to 48 kHz WAV files. That matters if you care about clarity and credibility.
• It removes friction. Guests click a link. No software installs. No tech anxiety. That increases show-up rates.
• The AI tools save real time. Automatic show notes, chapter markers, and usable clips cut post-production hours in half.
• The editor is simple and fast. You can cut mistakes without being an audio engineer.
• It handles video and audio equally well. You record once and publish everywhere.
• Support is responsive and human. When something breaks, they actually help.
At its best, Riverside lets you focus on the conversation, not the tech.
That’s good stewardship of time and attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike about Riverside.fm:
• Their review system is frustrating. Forcing reviews through a specific platform creates friction.
• Mobile reviews feel broken. Writing a full review on your phone only to have it fail is a waste of time. That erodes trust.
• The platform assumes desktop use. Some features work poorly or inconsistently on mobile.
• Session recovery is not always obvious. When something fails, you are left guessing what saved and what didn’t.
• The learning curve is steeper than it needs to be for first-time users.
• Small UX issues add up. None are fatal, but together they slow you down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
