"Streamlined our Podcast and saved us time"
What do you like best about Libsyn?

It is very user-friendly and intuitive to use. Upload your files and set it up once, then libsyn does the rest by distributing it to all the podcast networks including Spotify/Apple.

What do you dislike about Libsyn?

The UI is continuing to be updated and getting better like the modern apps. I don't doubt that libsyn will eventually get to a point where it is super streamlined.

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

Libsyn saves time and is very simple to use. The pricing structure is also fair and very beginner friendly. This makes it very easy to start a podcast and get onto all the major networks.

"Easy tool for new podcasters!"
What do you like best about Libsyn?

Libsyn was very user-friendly for new podcasters who aren't super tech savvy. It also included helpful analytics every month even on the lowest/cheapest tier as well as a decent amount of audio storage.

What do you dislike about Libsyn?

The landing site didn't always link properly and I would have liked more storage per tier, but it was a good deal overall.

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

Hosting podcast audio with relative ease and low cost. We haven't recorded an episode in over a year, but I maintain my membership to continue to keep the old episodes hosted. I would like to verify that I can cancel without losing my work.

"Traditional but Simple and Useful"
What do you like best about Libsyn?

It's super easy to upload, edit, and schedule my client's podcast materials on Libsyn. I also love that it's able to provide us with the statistics that we need to measure the growth and success of the podcast.

What do you dislike about Libsyn?

It doesn't provide us with the complete demographics of the audience that listens to my client's podcast. It would be helpful to know their gender, age, as well as the time they listen for us to gauge and systematize our growth efforts.

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

The overall distribution of the client's podcast materials to different players has been solved by Libsyn. With its simple features, with just a few clicks and we're able to publish the episode in one go.

"Straightforward & easy to use"
What do you like best about Libsyn?

For a podcast with a very professional look, Libsyn is easy to use. The platform also makes it very easy to publish podcast episodes automatically to multiple platforms and integrates well with WordPress for embedding on a website. Libsyn provides easy-to-digest stats for podcast episodes and is very reliable overall.

What do you dislike about Libsyn?

No real complaints. Occasionally the artwork I load into my show files as thumbnails shows up rotated 90 degrees to the left. It's a weird quirk and hard to tell if the issue is with the original art or with Libsyn. I have to tweak the art file and re-upload it.

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

It's simple and reliable, which is very important for a professional podcast. Our audience expects a weekly episode. Libsyn is easy to use and gives the podcast a professional appearance. It's easy to publish podcast episodes from the main dashboard to multiple platforms.

"The Hard Part of Podcasting Made Easy"
What do you like best about Libsyn?

It's very easyto host your podcast with Libsyn. The process is simple. It's also easy to distribute your podcast to various podcasting services. I've found customer service to be very responsive.

What do you dislike about Libsyn?

While it's excellent Libsyn updates its platform from time to time, it can take a little while to adjust to changes. This is a little picky, as I'm glad they're keeping the platform up to date. Usually, there are webinars to go over changes.

Recommendations to others considering Libsyn:

I use the basic plan, which costs five dollars a month. I get limited statistics with it. Pick the plan that gives you the stats and hosting you need.

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

I needed a place to host and distribute my podcast. I have limited technical skills and found the Libsyn to be relatively easy, like uploading a video on YouTube.

I dislike the size of the Podcast Album Cover, it should be prioritized to be larger.

I am solving the problem of hyperlinking my podcast in a way that is accessible at a fast speed internationally

"Solid economical media hosting service"
What do you like best about Libsyn?

Easy to use and extremely reliable. Never had an issue uploading or using the system. I have a weekly podcast, Only upload 4 episodes (30 minute on average) per week. After that past episodes are archived for all time. Great service.

What do you dislike about Libsyn?

Metrics reports used to be better, moved to a new reports that are harder to read. Miss the bar chart monthly totals. Dislike they lost all the previous data before November 2017. I believe there are metrics about where downloads originate by geography. I don't care about that. All I want are nice looking reports to share with prospective sponsors

Recommendations to others considering Libsyn:

This is a solid choice, highly recommend. It's not expensive yet the service is first rate. I know others who have decided to go cheap and try to host it themselves are some free service. Don't. I only pay $8/month, and it's more than enough space for my weekly podcast.

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

I use it to host my podcast. Have been a client for 5 years and have over 270 episodes published. Never had a listener express any issues downloading or listening the the podcast. Great stuff.
