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.

Update: Uninstalling and reinstalling with the latest update seems so have fixed the issue. Four stars because the update came quickly but not five yet because it's hard to earn back trust after a bad release. Previous: Completely stopped working this week. I join as a live audience member but there's no audio or video. There are boxes labeled with names where the speakers would normally be, but no sound or video, just chat.

I've had a terrible experience using this app on both desktop and mobile. Even though I've tried to record video when joining a recording as a guest, it just shows a black screen. My audio is either non existent or very low, regardless of whether I use the built in mic or an external one. That would be bad enough, but when I join as a guest, it only lets me stay in the recording for 5 minutes at most before it boots me from the studio. And of course, the video didn't save locally.

They do not allow you to manager your account. If you want to delete your account, your subscription has to end first. They also require a CC on file for free accounts. I have already reached out five separate times but without result. I used the application for over a year and I've had better management and recordings through other less-expensive applications. Low quality application and not worth the price. I bet their response for for me to reach out to them with concerns.... Empty words.
