Used @RiversidedotFM after reviewing around eight other tools. I am so stoked I made the right choice. At no point I got confused. Perfect balance of getting the user to do what they want and how they want it. Most importantly, everyone in the episode found it easy.

@RiversidedotFM Congrats on the iOS launch.  I've been super-pleased with the web-based app so far.  Hope an Android version is following close behind. :)

It’s an amazing platform. Very engaging while recording and it captures each participants individual audio and video stream locally, which is great for post-editing.

Recording: @RiversidedotFM replaces a set up using zoom + local recording of separate tracks which I had to reconcile.It provides better quality, separate audio tracks and HD video.(If you're using a paying version of Zoom for 1x1 or 1x2 interviews - stop!)

Screen share, separate audio/ video - yes.  Separate tracks for host / guest - coming soon. The founders announced it during the last Townhall. Been using it for PodFest Asia and loving it  , i’ll use it for upcoming Nirvana Tribute Virtual Event too!

The winner by quite a bit: @RiversidedotFM. Great UI, includes video, easy to use, sound quality of the finished recording is , gives you WAV files, screensharing. And it's also cheap for hobbyists. I swear I could use Riverside for video calls.
