SquadCast by Descript

I purchased the pro version of the tool for today’s podcast. My experience with the tool is the worst in recent times. 1. The website did not work (either it did not respond to touch on ipad or too slow to open). 2.When started recording, microphone have too much background white noise (only when i use the recording). When the recording is closed, it is not the case. 3. Video did not appear for a long time even after recording. 4. Tried with Mac as my ipad may have issues with internet or permissions. But faced the same issue with the Mac as well. 5. tried to file a complain in the help section. But it did not allowed me to write more than a few words. Worst tool. Only let to lose the time of you and your guest.

New to the product used it for a total of 3 sessions so far. On the 3rd session it failed to record one of the participants, I have yet to figure out why. And so far SquadCast Support has interacted with me like a AI bot and not answered my simple questions like where is the recording? and why did this occur? The missing audio participant shows up on he merged cloud audio/video file with the other people in the podcast just fine.... Support has been subpar, just keep sending me white papers on how to record in Squadcast, never just having a conversation with me to figure this out. I need to why this occurred if I am to continue to use the product.

Was great until they partnered. The platform is sloppy, and confusing since they merged with Descript. The 2 platforms are not integrated well. Trying to get help is a nightmare since support doesn't know how to read an email and reply to the actual question. There is no place to cancel a subscription either. Been a member of Squad Cast since 2020 and have many hours that I haven't used for recording, essentially I am saying the banked hours are not worth it. So frustrated with the lack of customer support and user experience with the product that I am leaving.

Perhaps the worst recording platform I have used. Do not waste your time using this subpar product. Upload speeds are abysmal and have resulted in the loss of both host and guest audio and video recordings. Just use Riverside, they are by far the superior product.

Been using for over 3 years. Even better now that it’s merged with Descript.

I used Zoom for years, which is great for phone calls. A couple of years ago someone told me "Dude, you're a legit podcaster. It's time to up your game." Then I found Squadcast. It's the best of the best, it's basically like giving your guest the red carpet experience for recording, and the quality is unsurpassed.

I've used this service for years. Rock solid. When I met the founders right after they launched I said, "Make it SUPER easy, and make sure it works. I don't want to be clicking a button and thinking, I hope this works." As they added more features, they've still kept it simple.

This solves a myriad of problems podcasters have (especially dual-end recording). This is what people need to be using and is the "skype/zoom killer" app for people who care about how their show sounds. I've been podcasting for 12.5 years and Squadcast is actually going to change the game for me and thousands of others.

Been using them since October 2018 for my weekly guest podcast. Has made my life so much easier! Before I had roboting, had to get people an account for VoIP, with SquadCast, I send them a link and it's all set to go. The audio sounds great and helps with editing when everyone is on a separate track. Great team at SquadCast and a vital part of my weekly recordings. Plus, if anything happens, there is a backup and they have your back!
