Spotify for Podcasters for Negative User Reviews

✓ Don’t waste your time!!!I have another podcast that I years that I’ve left the one I’ve had for years. I wanted to try something that had more ways for me to communicate with other people so this seemed to like the perfect app! Used it for the first two days it absolutely loved it until I recorded a 30 minute segment someone called me and it’s basically stopped my segment I try to go in and edit basically re start the recording and somehow it got deleted whenever I went back to check it. I’m not a fan because it does not pause your segments if someone calls you or anything like that so if you’re in the middle of the segment and someone calls you or you get some type of notification or anything it will stop and asked to be published Therefore you’re not able to restart it so it’s a waste of time. You’re just gonna have to basically restart your whole show. That just made me delete the app. I have so many calls coming in a day so I really look for a app that will pause so I can just restart my segment you cannot do this on here I’m so heated I wasted my time.....LexoButterflyVersion: 3.9.5

✓ Buttons not labelled properlyThis looks like a fantastic app. As you go through it using voice over you soon discover that none of the buttons are labelled properly. It would be great if the developer could review this with Accessibility in mind. Please label all the buttons as per the standards of Apple. This could be an absolutely fantastic app however By not making it accessible leaves you to wonder of the quality..Robin EastVersion: 3.12.1

✓ Interview issues...I want to give this app five stars but I’m torn... it had me very excited about the potential of recording interviews over the phone. (And I’m sure it’s great for anchor that anyone I would interview would have to download the app as well) first time using it I was underwhelmed. My own voice comes in very low versus that of the person I’m interviewing, but that can be fixed in an edit. My biggest issue though is I did not know there was a time limit!? I felt horribly unprofessional as I had to “call back” the person I was interviewing three times because of being kicked off after about 6 or 7 minutes?? So it can be a cool app for recording, but I don’t know if I’ll be switching to anchor for my show over what I’ve been doing the last few years..Jeff SanguisVersion: 3.0.4

✓ Anchor 3.03.0 has some great new features, including: Drafts, Rearranging/Adding to Episodes, Favourite Counter ect. (all features I’ve been wanting to see added to the app for a long time.) But it’s mainly the features that have been changed or removed that really put a huge damper on this update. For example: Echoes, Discussions, Shoutouts, Call-In Trim Feature & The User Leaderboard are all gone! You can no longer post segments that will expire within 24 hrs, you’re forced to instantly put all of your segments into an episode. My applause count has been decreased by about 3K claps for some reason. You can no longer see who applauded on each of your segments, only if they applauded the entire episode. On and on I could go. There needs to be another update very soon that will change these things back to how they were. I’m not the only one. Many people are against some of these changes as well. Anchor 2.0 was great for both hardcore podcasters & people like me, who just really enjoy Anchoring as a hobby. But 3.0 seems to cater to the big, professional podcasters. Please consider my feedback, thank-you!.Ethan EnsVersion: 3.0.4

✓ Can’t connectI’m sure this app would be quite an amazing podcast app, but I wouldn’t know cuz it’s so difficult to sign up for. I tried signing up with Spotify account like it suggested, and it keeps saying “an error has occurred”.Leelar🫠🫠🫠Version: 5.12.0

✓ BuggApp is crackly when using the invite a guest feature and sounds like he’s a robot Is that something that you know about why is it going that.Kevin james wuennell batmanVersion: 4.10.0

✓ Terrible Experience! Be Warned.So I posted 5 episodes of a podcast I have been working on over the past few months onto Anchor, mainly chat and interviews. One of the episodes, however, was a recording of a radio show I was featured on, and as the record label was owned by the man interviewing me there was no copyright issue with the music. So Anchor decided to completely remove all the episodes of my podcasts on the basis that I was sharing music. I didn’t get any warning, they just literally pull them all and deleted them! They didn’t just remove the one podcast that had music, they took them *all* down – which included all the show notes that I had compiled and links, none of which I had copied. Needless to say I am going elsewhere to host my podcasts, but that kind of treatment really puts you off these arrogant tech companies who could have at least opened a dialogue about the issue. Badness all round guys..MountjoybaileyVersion: 3.36.0

✓ Waste Of TimeI’m a musician producing an ambient music podcast for yoga sessions etc. I uploaded content but kept having distribution to iTunes et al rejected for no specific reason. When I contacted support they told me they had ‘evidence’ I had committed copyright theft and if I wanted to discuss it further I should get legal help. I explained that the copyright was 100% mine (no samples, no cover versions), only to find out they’d deleted my account and all content. If you’re doing anything involving music, be prepared to be accused of being a thief with no right of reply.NeildonoVersion: 3.21.0

✓ Lack of notificationsLet me just say I do love anchor and what has done to my podcast and helped me do what I’m doing, been with them since I was only able to do 5 min episodes. But for several weeks now there has been constant updates I would say or crashes on the site and app, in which has been messing with my releases of my episodes. I got an email back saying there was an update going on in which I was unaware, but then it happened again and then the following week again and as I’m writing this review it just happened again. I don’t mind the update but it would be nice to let us know when it will happened so I can plan in advance to release the episode or schedule it in time instead of just not being to be able to do either. This has interrupted my consistency of my release dates in which I was force to choose other days but it happened to me again today. I’m only writing this review because with this pandemic I don’t get an answer until like two days later, I would appreciate at least a little knowledge on this part. Besides that anchor has most definitely exceeded my expectations on my podcast so I hope this will keep on going. Thank you.DgodofwarVersion: 3.29.1

✓ Very buggy but does the trickI’ve just made my first podcast with Anchor, with my snowball mic plugged into my iPad Pro. I found the system generally easy to use but extremely buggy. It regularly gets stuck on screens in the profile views requiring a force close, and splitting clips after editing them seems to freeze up. If I go to add those split clips from the library, they suddenly all appear, but not completely in the correct order. If I rearrange clips, it won’t play them in the order I’ve rearranged until I hit save, even though the UI seems to show that they should be playing in that order. Also, it’s unclear how I’d create a second podcast and after realising that my profile URL is what would be used for my podcast, I can’t seem to change it, I just get an error when I try..Andy BarrattVersion: 3.30.0

✓ PotentialThe potential here is not difficult to see and for a long time I was searching for an app like Anchor. However, it seems far too focused on the creation of the user’s podcast rather than holding a balance between users and listeners. Granted I am no technical expert, but as a consumer I would love to see if the search bar had filters for recent releases within the given topic searched as well as the categories like society and culture to narrow down the scope. It is all good and well creating a platform for people to express creativity and share however it falls short when the audience can’t find anything in the search bar but abandoned podcasts. Another wonderful idea would to perhaps attempt a more community based platform within the discover page to showcase the newer podcasts that have been created. A larger community presence supported by the creators or supervisors of the content would I believe boost the ratings and the exposure of this app greatly. As I have said before, this app has grand potential and shouldn’t settle for less. I cannot wait to see where it goes and what improvements will be made. Thank you..No_I_Am_Not_A_BoatVersion: 3.17.1

✓ Absolute garbageCreated a podcast today and wanted to check answers to the episode question I posted. Won’t load on the website, and the app won’t let me log in it goes straight back to the same screen repeatedly. Absolute waste of time..Ki_8Version: 5.10.0

✓ Torn but this app is glitchy and looses recordings constantlyOn one hand, I’m highly appreciative of this app. We have recorded approximately 15 one hour long episodes. I wouldn’t have even had the idea had I not heard of this app. Unfortunately, the app has crashed on at least 10 different occasions requiring us to re-record an entire episode. Sometimes this has happen almost an hour into an episode (near the end). We have also had issues with shorter segments not saving or becoming corrupted when they save. Trying to use another app to record audio doesn’t help, the app fails to upload imported audio. The desktop version of the app is even more glitchy and even when using a nice microphone seems to record horrible audio. We found just using the iPhone to record resulted in better audio quality. Things like receiving a phone call during recording can destroy a recording. Turning on do not disturb and turning off the screen shutting off automatically are workarounds we have pursued, but even they don’t guarantee an outcome. It’s been really frustrating to loose so much of our recordings and time when each episode we record is special and requires a significant emotional investment and a ton of vulnerability..AddictedToBreathVersion: 3.66.0

✓ Cool idea getting in it's own waySuch a great idea, small intractable content that's fast to produce and easy to consume. Love the idea. The interface though is just functionally awful. I can never for the life of me find the programs I'm actually subscribed to because the predominant listings are always the apps own productions (or at least the productions they overtly back, like these weird general round-up style programs I have zero interest in). I would love it if the app prioritized the content of the people I actually try to follow, I'm sure as content producers these programs are taking a listenership hit just from this interface alone and that's super frustrating and annoying. Finishing my shows automatically starts a show promoted by the app that I have no interest in whatsoever. This is a disincentive from frequenting the app and also from ever generating my own content. Such an easy fix though. Hope something changes..ZeromontVersion: 2.14.3

✓ Great in general, HORRIBLY EXECUTED MISSING feature.This app in general has a great interface and is intuitive to use. However the developers are missing a CRUCIAL OVERSIGHT, which is record with friends. Why do I need to initiate ONLY on the app and invite my friends? Why can’t we do this exclusively through the web browser or app on PC and Mac?! We both have studio grade microphones and now only one of us can use it, because the other is forced to use abysmal phone mic audio. Not to mention the process of inviting a friend seems to only connect with luck and hope. We tried multiple times to connect, at least 10 times and only 2 of them were actually successful, but then one disconnected itself, despite strong internet on both sides of connection. REALLY dissatisfied with how the app handles podcasting with a friend. It’s utterly absurd how difficult and compromising it is to do something as simple as record a podcast with a friend online..Consumer defenderVersion: 3.43.0

✓ I had 4 completed pod cast, today it wouldn’t open and asked me to sign in, all my podcast are goneI enjoyed but all my hard work deleted from m library..Fran12-4Version: 3.145.0

✓ Cuts off recordings right in the middleCuts off recordings right in the middle and then posts them as podcasts and God only knows how to delete the shoddy half-recorded podcast. Also doesn’t tell you where else besides this app that the podcast is being posted so you have no control over it. Deleting a podcast and deleting my station were both impossible to discover how to do..GeraniumwednesdaysVersion: 2.17.2

✓ Doesn’t work.Installed the app, tried to create account via Facebook...couldn’t connect. Tried to just create an account...couldn’t connect. Uninstalled app..Beevbo99Version: 3.2.4

✓ AccessibilityI think the app is good, but improvements could be made. One thing I love about the new update is that they have gotten rid of the 5 minute malarkey. I hate time limits, so this made me happy. The one thing though that frustrates me is that the app no longer supports or works with voice over. I was so excited by some of the new updates, I recommended the app to many of my visually impaired friends, who are looking for an audio based, social networking platform. Only to find that voice over isn’t supported on here. This is a real shame as this means the VI community are missing out on a good app, & anchor are missing out on growing a community of people who benefit from social platforms like this. I really hope someone from the team sees this & takes this into consideration. And I hope to see voice over & other accessibility improvements in the next update. It would really be appreciated..Purple_Me3Version: 3.1.1

✓ It’s okay I guessThere’s not a lot to do with this app.How does this work???Version: 5.12.0

✓ Needs a fixBeen recording podcast on here for nearly a year now but recently their have been some issues, when sent a request to join a recording it can’t be done through the app it was no problem before but now has to be done through copying a link and doing it through a web browser, the recording from two different now overlaps making it a complete mess was not a problem before recording was fine a couple months ago seems to have occurred only in the last month or so.Danlee412Version: 3.28.2

✓ Great if it worked properlyI love this app but every now and again it takes away the music option. There’s no warning. I introduce a song at the end of my podcast and then, without warning, the music tool goes missing. Not every week, just now and again. Help is good but they do hang up on you if it gets too difficult. ie the music problem above. It delays the podcast by three days for email support or you just have to edit telling your listeners the music wouldn’t work. Doesn’t sound professional. Please sort this glitch out, otherwise it’s fab..CharlietwiceVersion: 3.122.0

✓ PLEASE FIX THIS ONE FEATUREI used to record and post my podcast with a Samsung phone and loved it. BUT since moving to iPhone I have realised that there is one key feature that is missing that is unbearable to live without. On my iPhone app whilst recording a podcast, I cannot pause and delete segments and continue recording once I have started. The app only allows me to record the whole podcast in one sitting which I can never do. Please fix this please guys as it will mean that I can no longer record my podcasts using the anchor app. I am very surprised it’s even not been included..DawnBrookeeVersion: 3.152.0

✓ Great, but missing monetization in CanadaThis is a great app, super easy to create and distribute my podcasts especially to my preferred platform of choice which is Spotify, and I have been using now for just shy of a year. The thing that really is disappointing is that you can’t monetize in Canada; you have the option to add in an Ad, but this ad is only promoting Anchor and you can’t even cash out on the money you generate from that… makes really difficult to give the app a higher rating from an honest standpoint. It’s very unfortunate, because I have to out-source sponsorships and ads from affiliate programs and cannot track this from within the app itself or view my platforms. Why isn’t it monetized in Canada? Clearly this is a highly discussed issue that myself and many others are experiencing and the market is more than big enough to support monetization… I know very many Canadian podcasts that perform well and better than some American founded podcasts. Why is Canada always second class to these kinds of things? Makes it incredibly frustrating. Monetization in Canada will more than produce results and surely help Anchor. Please consider monetization in Canada. This is a big issue, and is being felt by many people..Maddi PetkauVersion: 3.145.0

✓ I just got it and OMg but 1 problemI just got this app, after wanting to create a podcast for a long time and WOW! It was quite revolutionary because I thought it was difficult to make a podcast but not with Anchor! The only problem was that when I went to Trim and I did it, then pressed Trim and Save it takes absolutely ages to load, it hasn’t even loaded yet. It just keeps on loading and not doing anything. Sorry for any inconvenience!.Pottsy81038Version: 3.145.0

✓ Locked out, no help, don’t replyTwice tried to call in someone to interview, recording button showed it was recording but at the end it was lost. So far now help to fix, prevent this time waste. Past (now fixed): Forgot password, applied for email link for new, been trying for days, never arrives. There seems no help available unless I can login (I can’t, see above), and they haven’t replied to my tweet nor Facebook post requesting help. Is it all just one big bot? I’d happily pay for support but to have none is just ludicrous..KatieSuavEcoVersion: 3.43.0

✓ Find another app to useI started on this app spring 2018. Admires the app from day one. But then anchor started “updating”. Wow this app is super unstable. Anchor has an extremely slow support system in place. You can ask for help and literally it will take about 7-9 days to get a response that doesn’t help you. I’ve been in the Facebook group and have asked questions and brought attention to the ridiculously slow support department. Yes anchor kicked me out of the group. Hey you asked for honesty. I recommend NOT using the app. Or just go to Speaker app. Inside the anchor app after you record your show. The app would/will upload it 15-25 times unless you reset the app. If you are going to use this app. I strongly advice you record you entire show. Then upload the show in anchor via desktop. NOT cell phone. If you need help or technical support. Ask people that use the app NOT ANCHOR. Anchor will blow you off literally..NonstableVersion: 3.9

✓ Editing on app isn't what you think..I love this a lot from recording and laying out the segments. The UI is friendly and makes everything easy to record plus the part where people can leave me voicemails, I want to love it more, but at the point I start editing 20 to 30 min segments on the app itself because I want to work on my podcast all in one app. My issue here is that when I edit where I cut and trim out parts, I feel that it over cuts some parts of the recording. I was mostly removing a lot of "uhhs and umms", also some pauses where we were just taking a breather and the audio was silent. Once I've hit saved, it does take some time to process, once it's done...I would listen and not only just my cuts were made... additional cut offs happen into my conversations. So, when I've listened to hear out my cuts were made, either some of my sentences were cut and placed to somewhere else. Idk what's going on.BrotherkehnVersion: 3.19.0

✓ AnchorI enjoy using this app but you should make it where Canadians can also cash out their funds..HippieGirl1996!!Version: 3.145.0

✓ App not workingWould be nice if the app actually let me log in. I constantly have problems with logging in in anyway and I can’t make an account. Very annoying..GkfkkffjVersion: 3.45.1

✓ Can’t even log inHey I’m trying to make an account and everytime I get passed the sign in through Spotify it won’t go passed the log in screen… might be a bug?.Jojokie1Version: 5.10.0

✓ Great if it wasn’t for that License GrantApp would be great if you didn’t have to hand over the keys to your intellectual property when using the app. It would be nice to see apps like this that are purportedly for creators come out with ethical treatment for those same creators. There’s always the same excuse: “We have to have that in the contract, but we’ll never use it”. If you’ll never use it, you don’t need it in the contract..Todd SherwoodVersion: 3.0.4

✓ Can’t use app without signing in :-(How am I supposed to establish the value of this app if I can’t view anything (other than a sign in page) without first creating an account. I am just sick of apps that do this. So many apps where I have been through this process turn out to be unsuitable. And yep, they have my email address, and I get unwanted emails. How about being able to use this app without having to create an account? And why is a login required in the first place? There is no explanation on the login page. This might well be a great app, but seriously - if you need my login before I can actually see of I like it ... well, that’s just bad practice..Kiwi_deluxVersion: 3.12.0

✓ App Developer is untruthful on Twitter as to the app being accessible with VoiceoverI am a blind podcaster and have been since 2004. I’d love to have been able to try this app but, so far, it has remained largely inaccessible with Voiceover. That is fine to a point I just don’t use the app and keep it on my phone just in case, per very small chance, the app developer does actually update it to work with the screen reader (native to IOS), in question. I have written, very politely to the app devs via Twitter asking if they would look at access to their app and did get one Tweet with a vague promise to include accessibility in their future builds. Imagine then my additional frustration when we saw Tweets saying that they had in fact made the app workk with voiceover... I went straight for the update and was looking forward to finally seeing what all the fuss around Anchor was and to finally be a part of it and quite possibly, pay for a premium tear of the platform. But no, unfortunately, no improvement with access at all. Again, that is fine, just don’t lie about what you have done when hyou have not fixed this..VipodcastingVersion: 3.9.5

✓ It would be perfect for me if it worked consistentlyI have gone through the list of troubleshooting; updated browsers, tried multiple browsers, used the app on my phone and iPad, made sure that was updated, emptied the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled...and I still am having such a struggle to just get my first episode live. First problem I faced was when I recorded for the hour limit it failed to process. Ok, I’ll cut the audio in half and edit each half...minor annoyance. But then I spent 6 hours precisely splicing and trimming one half of the recording and when I went to review it before continuing, it was all chopped up and jumbled up. I assumed I someone hit something wrong so I did it again....I have attempted to edit parts of it even, and it still gets all jumbled and edits out pieces I didn’t splice and remove and even swapped parts of the audio that were in the same segment that couldn’t have gotten swapped. After 9 hours of working on this I finally decided it isn’t user error and it’s just a buggy system. I love everything about the app concept and I just hope they fix their editing software to make it truly user-friendly so I can finally start getting my content out there..AcercasebakVersion: 3.45.1

✓ ??It won’t let me sign up at all!! I really wanted to make a podcast but I can’t idk my Spotify password!! Why do I have to need it why not just my username??? Or email and just let me sign up like that!? Please fix this please for people like me.Hollow_creekVersion: 5.7.0

✓ Great app but new version has more bugsOrientation is now locked so I can’t use external mic easily, Audio bugs where audio will play over another piece of audio while you try to record, and 1 tap record no longer works. Basically they’re added a few things to make it more frustrating to use.TheowlswoopsVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Beyond FrustratingI have been using this app for about a year or so, it worked pretty good up until about 4 months ago. The editing tool seemed to develop a major issue. I would make my cuts, and playback to ensure it was accurate. But after I saved my edits all the cuts are off by a few seconds, which really screws up the audio. Once you save changes there is no going back. I hoped the recent update would fix it but now there is an even bigger problem. I record my podcast in segments and listen back to each one before saving and ensuring it’s uploaded. I make sure this is done before moving on to record my next segment. While this takes forever it has ensured everything is accurate and if any one part gets corrupted I only have to redo one short segment vs the entire podcast. But today, I finished recording the last segment (out of 4) and found that my first two segments suddenly show a failed upload and when I press the reload button it still doesn’t come through. I had already checked 30 minutes before and all previous segments showed completely uploaded and ready to playback. How did are they suddenly not uploaded? Why won’t it reload? I used to recommend this app to everyone but after 4 months of increasing issues I give it one star..ArcaneTeresaVersion: 3.161.0

✓ Lacks some vital featuresHaving just started using this app, I would highly recommend people create their podcast in GarageBand then transfer across. If you don’t use the music from anchor it is impossible to change the volume of music you have created yourself and I found my music drowned out my voice. There just aren’t enough options to trailer music to my needs. The uploading and sharing function seems excellent though..ZenandtheartVersion: 3.16.0

✓ I don’t like the new update at all.I encouraged a lot of people to get the Anchor app so that we could make podcasts together. now with the new update I am no longer able to connect with these people or see their profiles on Anchor, which I don’t understand why Ancora made this not an inclusive app anymore, anchor gets most of its users word of mouth from other users, so I don’t understand why anchor would shut that part of their business down !! It makes it pointless to suggest the app to new users!! it just makes no sense to me, and I’m no longer able to browse through the podcast that are on the Anchor app I don’t understand why they change this ? what was the big deal about ? I would say if anchor wants more users they change it back so they’re users will suggest to their friends to use this app !! Otherwise it will only pick up the one person that wants to make podcast instead of potential guests that will eventually make their own podcast in the future?.PhilthyglassVersion: 3.145.0

✓ Loosing EpisodesAnchor please find a way to store all the Episodes users have recorded. I am loosing disclaimers that are important to my podcast also it would be lovely to increase the algorithm so that people could find our podcast easier! I might mention there is help avail when I have reached out so I greatly appreciate that. It’s just inconvenient. Lastly, this is A very easy platform to launch your podcast. Best of Everything to everyone producing in this app and check out “ Wtflandia Radio Show with Shar Michelle”.Shar michelleVersion: 5.1.0

✓ An accessibility nightmareI'm a vision impaired podcaster and have been using this app for over 2 years. but i gotta say, it's crap that they don't support large text size. i can change the text size while the app is open but as soon as i close it and then open it again, it's reset itself to 100%. larger text also messes with the formatting and makes some features unusable. their notifications don't work at all. i keep getting responses to my episodes and not seeing them because the notifications don't show up. i brought this up in the support chat months ago, they said they'd look into it but still nothing. it's crap that many features are only available in browser or even only on PC when not everyone can use them, and they could be easily incorporated into the app. i've spoken to the support chat many times and while they were sometimes helpful, more often than not they were unhelpful and often outright condescending to me because i couldn't do the things they asked, like "check if it works on a PC". just make your features accessible everywhere, to everyone..DeltaSkelterVersion: 4.20.0

✓ I was never able to verify my emailI installed the app and send the verification email. Then, I clicked on the link and the website is not able to confirm my email. Tried several times, same result. So I tried to contact Anchor’s company but there is no email on their website. I then decided to delete their app..NatureXpertVersion: 3.132.0

✓ Can’t editWhenever I try to delete a musical piece and add a new one the old piece stays there and I can’t add new ones.BobagogaVersion: 4.34.0

✓ Record with friend sync issue - needs fixing!Overall a great app and very easy to use. However I have one big problem with it: the Record with Friends feature does not work properly. My most recent recording had a significant lag between the different speakers, making them talk over one another. Because the voices are not saved as separate tracks, there is no way to fix it. I reached out to customer support but have not heard anything about it. Based on an internet search, people were reporting this issue a year ago, so it really surprised me that there hasn’t been a fix yet. This makes remote interviews completely unworkable with Anchor, so I am having to turn to third party apps and services to do this. If this were fixed I would absolutely give Anchor 5 stars..KazangorodVersion: 3.51.0

✓ So far so good, apart from paymentsBeen using it for the past few weeks, it’s good I just wish they allowed Monetization payments to other places outside the US, (I’m in Australia) because it’s really hard to open a US Bank Account to get payed..MATE--_--Version: 3.27.1

✓ I love Anchor, but...This app does make starting your own podcast accessible for pretty much everyone. Quick, simple, easy and comprehensive. However, when recording remotely with others I’ve experienced too many cases of lag, instability and unexplained drop-outs to make it reliable for the top quality we were looking for. Also, a mute mic button when recording remotely with others would be a massive improvement..MackemrichVersion: 3.19.0

✓ .Used a song which has not been released on my podcast. Banned for “potential infringement”. Not just the song banned, the app isn’t working anymore..AZlilinVersion: 5.7.0

✓ GmailThis app is awesome but the emails they send to me don’t work. It says that an email was sent to me but there’s nothing there from this app. I can’t make a podcast because it wants me to verify my email but I can’t do that if there’s no link sent to me..Showenz1Version: 4.34.0

✓ Mic Selection Non-existent on IPadNot good with recording with friends, external mics and new iPads. It doesn’t have an option of deciding what mic to use on the iPad. So whenever I plugged in my Bluetooth headphones it would automatically think that i wanted to use the mic that comes with the headphones rather than the external mic i connected to my iPad. Not using headphones doesn’t really work as the anchor app won’t let the audio on the speakers to go completely down, so the other person could still hear themselves and my mic could capture the little bit of sound coming off my speakers. This seems like an easy fix? Not sure why they haven’t allowed for mic and headphone selection on iPad..BabbabesVersion: 3.48.0

✓ Great app but..This is a great app to get started on creating podcast. My friend and I just got approved for Apple podcasts and pocket cast in a matter of days! The only thing keeping me from giving it a full five star review are the two following problems. The first one, the app needs to include a way to trim unnecessary audio recordings. There has been plenty of times where we are 15-20 mins recording and we get distracted by something and end up recording 2-3 mins off topic and guess what? We have to record again since we can’t trim the audio recording! That is very frustrating. The second problem, whatever the app does it kills my phone’s battery! No joke! Just today we recorded a 11 min episode and my phone went from 86% to 58% that was unbelievable. And before you say it must’ve been something else..no I have background data restricted on all apps with exception of Anchor, Mail, Clash Royale, and Play music. When I launch this app I close out of everything and only laugh this app and I connect to WiFi. Once those two problems are taken care of I will gladly change my ratings!.DiegoGuz05Version: 3.2.2

✓ Good but had a problemMy first thought of this app was great but I had a hard time trying to export the podcast and I looked it up but it only did a portion at a time I want to upload the whole thing on my website and when I tried it only did each segment by themselves and then I saw a button to add the segment to my podcast so I thought maybe it wasn’t added so I added them but I came to realize it just added then a second time which is no big deal I would just delete them and when I did it delete both rather then just one so by then end I didn’t have my podcast at all and an entire hour of my work was wasted hopefully it was just user error I will try again and see just disappointed my entire episode got deleted.Uncle Z 20Version: 3.33.0

✓ Great for making podcastsApp seems fantastic for making podcasts, however for listening I haven’t found it so good. Search function seems to work quite strangely, I found it really hard to find my favourite podcasts, and when I did find them and add them to my favourites list, the list kept disappearing - the icon for the list kept disappearing from the top of the page. Had to use another app to be able to find and favourite certain shows..Ryanvxr94Version: 3.137.0

✓ Almost great, but fatal errorsThe idea and software are great, plus there seems to be a lot of app support. However there are some major needs to make this app professional. There should be a setting that allows you to start and pause the same recording (it boggles my mind that I have to hold up the phone or keep my finger on the screen the entire time I'm talking and can't put the phone down) and second it has no "editing" tool for any of the clips. So everything has to either be perfect or cut into little pieces for it to be post-produced, makes it mandatory to post unwanted audio. It should at least have the settings that the iPhone record app already has. Additionally, the video making tool is great, but it only does segments and not episodes. And you can't combine segments, making any episode multiple videos (clutter). Also it would be awesome if we could upload our recordings from our iPhone voice memos, that would solve a lot of issues and do for more easy content. And what's up with the middle square on the interface? It's useless. There should be some settings for recording. Finally, I wish there was some generic background music choices like on video editing apps..SmegaxVersion: 3.1.2
