Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
Podcasts are bigger than ever. Thanks to Anchor, recording them is easier than ever. Use it to record your show, then sprinkle in sound effects, transitions, and background music. Want a cohost? Anchor lets you record an episode with up to seven other users over Wi-Fi or cellular. The podcasting world is big. Anchor makes it simple to add your voice.
Great app
Update: I’ve now been using this app for over a year and I have some things to add. First, if you’re looking for a quality editing program, this isn’t the app for that. I use another app for editing and then export it back into Anchor, which works out wonderfully. This app is more to get you started, and it is especially good if you are new to podcasting. But I have one small thing that could be better. I love that you added a community feature to the app, so we can ask our listeners questions, but I have to tap on every. Single. Episode. To know which ones have Q&A responses! Yes, it also sends you an email, but it would be so much easier if there was a banner that popped up when you opened the app that told you which episodes have responses. Or at least, when you are scrolling through the episodes, have a little red dot or something next to the episodes that have feed back. Ok now on to my cringey review from over a year ago. *** This app rocks! I am a kid and I use out for my warrior cats podcast, The Moonpool. It has everything you need: background music, interludes, the option to record with friends, an easy-to-use setup, editing tools, monetization, and it’s free. It’s a huge plus that you don’t have to pay for it either. It doesn’t even have a premium version.
Great app!
I honestly love anchor! It’s so easy to use, and I love how you can create podcasts with friends. But, there’s just one issue. I think that the record with friends feature could use a bit of work. Here’s why I say that. I tried to have a friend on my podcast earlier today, and every time I tried to send her a new link, she was unable to join the podcast. We tested it out on her podcast, and I was able to join, but unfortunately, she was unable to join my podcast. So, that’s where I think the record with friends feature needs a bit of work. Otherwise, anchor is an amazing app, just not very accessible when it comes to the record with friends. As much as I hate to say this, I think part of the problem is thatBoth my friend and I are blind, so we have to use VoiceOver, and the record with friends feature just does not seem to be very accessible for some of us who have to use voice over on a daily basis. Love the app so.
