Soundcloud is easy to use, reliable and works. I love the playlists function.

I love the free version of this audio service versus the competition because it has the most user friendly interface & has enough songs you'd like to make a playlist.

I don't like how it can lag at times or it takes very long to load.

Sound was a major asset for me when I was starting out in music, it is the ideal platform for beginners. On Soundcloud it is very easy to build a community and create a good fan base.

SoundCloud can be useful if you pay for a membership subscription. It will allow you to see more in depth analytics and also the option to make money, by monetizing your audio streams.

Soundcloud is a lower tier music streaming software.

It really is a community and I do feel like I get instant feedback when I upload audio more so than any other place that I upload my audio.

Soundcloud is very easy to use with an amazing user friendly interface. Playlist uploading, track adding to the playlists and naming the playlists are very useful features.

Love that the color scheme is fluid and shines bright (orange!) to elicit a fun experience.

We are a good business with better business results and happy employees.

I mostly dislike the random selection of songs that start playing once my song of choice is over.

There are also a lot of fake profile bots, that comment with generic scam tactics.

The design of the app is amazing and the amount of music you can freely listen is great.

As an organization, we have a great setup for music listening and allow our colleagues for enjoying the time (1 hour daily) through listening to music during office time.

There are many fake accounts making great confusion in tracks original and fake ones.

SoundCloud is very easy to use, and anyone can upload their content, which is great for the development and culture in general.

SoundCloud is great for listening to music. I love that you don't need the premium subscription  lets you save as many songs as you like to listen to offline.

I am using sound cloud from last 5 years overall i had very good experience with soundcloud it has very amazing user friendly interface.

I love how you can follow your favorite channels and get updates when they have made uploads, like and comment on their content. As a content creator you can upload material and create playlists.

Soundcloud was the most helpful and supportive app for underground and indie musicians.

Great place for new artists to get their songs out there. Fun way to listen to music and find new artists to love.

The Pin items to Spotlight which helps pin selected songs to the top of your page. I also like the Repost feature simply because it helps other people share my music to their followers.

Sometimes it's confusing when searcing music because the results blend user content and official band music.

It is easy to use and has millions of songs to check out. It also suggests songs based on similar artists that it feels like the listener would enjoy which is great to find your new favorite artist.

I enjoyed knowing the new artists and listening to some new voices without knowing them and just sit back and enjoy the quality.

Soundcloud made me one of the most focused indie artist by providing enough tools and features to develop and improve the quality of my tracks.

Moreover, with the very intuitive searching option, anyone can find his or her favorite tracks very easily.

And I love that you can reach out to the team and they're responsive.

Easy to give admin permissions to run our own shows. Transistor may be the best platform for hosting a network.

The only place it's missing for me is video integration.

And they have a lot of great content on how to start and improve your podcast on their website.I have to believe their own experiences come through in the app.

That I didn't find them sooner. So much wasted time on our prior solution and so much lost marketing value for missing key technical issues.

Ease of use, ability to distribute to ALL platforms, and customer support.

Not 100% sure how accurate the subscriber count is.

The Transistor API is also great. We used it to pull our podcast episodes into our app so that our app users to could listen to the podcast while their were doing their work.

Distribution was a breeze. Easy to be setup to release to the world and start building and monitoring your audience.

I offer the podcast feed as a bonus feature of signing up for a paid subscription, and Transistor has made the process of doing this extremely simple.

Been with them for years now and I love it. Technical support is responsive and they are very quick to get things answered and fixed for me if anything comes up.

The number is quite a bit lower for a long-running pod than the previous host had estimated. However, it's very possible that the previous host was incorrect.

Extremely easy to use, very clean and simple interface, presents a lot of complicated data points in a simple way. Simple, flat pricing point.

Overall Transistor is very easy to use and does what you want it to do. It's by far the best podcast host I've used.

Really impressed with the quality of Transistor's staff. The overall set up and pricing helps running multiple shows much easier and cheaper.
