Podcasters have tried to figure out ways to get their edited before publication – but there’s no way to share or submit a for editing other than the set ways they have within the . The quality didn’t come out as they wanted.
When trying to contact Spreaker, it is also a “complicated process.” Sometimes you have to resubmit the same issue two or three times before they respond. You cannot edit before publishing, and it was frustrating.
Here is what isn’t good: You cannot go back in and add to a recording once you hit stop. While recording their it froze twice, and they had to start over because once the drafts are in, you can’t add anything else.
Podcasters have tried to communicate via the service, but they have successfully resolved the issue. Spreaker has still been charging without effective service. They also have sent the screenshots to their email.
Unfortunately, this client disapproved of them as dependable regarding the service for their inquiries.
