What do you dislike about Podcastle?
Recording Issues:
Both my guests and I often get kicked out of the recording studio. Out of 10 recordings with different guests and internet connections, all experienced the same problem. It's not a user issue; it's a platform problem. Distracting banners about internet quality frequently appear, disrupting conversations despite precautions like closing all other windows.
Editing Challenges:
The audio waves are too small for precise editing, and the audio and video are never synchronized. This creates an unprofessional experience where it sounds like I'm interrupting my guests or vice versa. Editing is far from user-friendly.
AI Features:
The AI tools don’t work as advertised, adding to the frustration instead of improving efficiency.
Impact on Workflow:
These issues significantly affect my ability to meet deadlines. I host important guests, have sponsor obligations, and need reliable tools. Unfortunately, I often resort to Zoom because it's faster and more reliable, even with its lower video quality.
Bottom Line:
This platform needs serious improvements to justify its cost. The repeated issues make it hard to recommend for anyone with professional podcasting needs. Wonder how it has been for those that give 5 stars
