What do you like best about Anchor?

Anchor is great because it is FREE and you can record, edit, and distribute easily. If your podcast is essentially a service, this is great. Hard to find something like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anchor?

What I don't like about Anchor is that you can only have one podcast. My podcast isn't monetized. It's a Christian podcast that helps women deal with life. My first one was in Spanish, and now I have need to expand to English as well, to help more people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anchor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining a helping relationship with women that I have counseled in the past. I can reach more women with a biblical approach to similar problems. I am able to help even though no longer present in Peru. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Anchor?

- Easy to record, edit and post podcasts

- Have inbuilt background music and effects which we can use in our podcast

- The best thing is its distribution; once you post the podcast on Anchor, it automatically distributes it among top podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, and many others. In very few platforms like Jio Saavn, you need to do it manually.

- Free to use, I liked this initiative by Spotify to help podcasters

- Its detailed analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anchor?

- As it is free and still offers this much value, I am happy with that. Still, if I would need to say, they can put more background music and editing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I create my podcast, which is for kids. I have made more than 30 episodes with Anchor, which got more than 150K+ plays to date. Once you have the content, it is easy to record, edit and post it on Anchor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Anchor?

Anchor is one of the best and easiest podcast platforms available. Versatile, user-friendly, and well-designed, the website and application are one of the best tools that I have utilized. We often have our streams and podcasts prerecorded, then simply upload to Anchor for posting out to all Podcast outlets and platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anchor?

A little more control over design elements would be helpful for the profile section of our podcasts. Perhaps more options for delivery of our finished products would be helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Anchor:

If you are wanting to broadcast your podcast (and video coming soon), with quality audio, ease of customization for each individual episode, then Anchor is your answer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anchor solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have discovered that with Anchor, we are able to publish our podcasts out to several podcast platforms and reach a broader audience via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. We are also able to monetize the podcasts with Anchor's built-in monetization program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to upload new podcast episodes and edit them right in Anchor. With just a few clicks of a button, the new episode can be shared to all the main podcast streaming platforms which is super time efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anchor?

While it is nice to edit an episode in Anchor, it can sometimes be a bit confusing. I've had better luck editing outside Anchor and uploading the audio ready file to there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anchor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is streamlining the uploading process and is easy to manage all episodes in one dashboard. I can easily see the stats and data from each episode, or break it down by day or week. This gives us better info on what people are interested in listening to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
