The interface for these features is intuitive and user-friendly, with clearly labeled buttons and a nice pinch to zoom feature for making the most minute changes possible.
When assembling an episode, you can tap the ‘…’ icon next to each clip to see two editing options: the first enables trimming the clip to the exact start and end time you prefer, while the second lets you split recordings at several points into multiple clips. Anchor says it may expand them in the future to its web and iPhone apps, but for now at least, if you want to edit your Anchor show without needing an external app, you’ll need an iPad on hand.Īnchor’s editing tools are extremely simple, which is fitting for an app that prides itself on simplicity. This different focus between iPad and iPhone versions extends to the fact that the new editing tools are currently iPad-exclusive. While I’d prefer the iPad app retain full functionality from the iPhone, the message behind this move is clear: the iPad app is all about content creation, not consumption. One major change is that the iPad version loses access to the full database of Anchor podcasts for listening. Today that changes, however, as Anchor is introducing basic editing tools as part of the debut of its iPad app.Īnchor for iPad resembles its iPhone counterpart in most ways: the basic recording workflows and tools are all available here, so existing Anchor users won’t have any trouble navigating the app. That ease of use, however, has historically meant sacrificing any access to editing tools that most podcasters need. If you’ve ever used Anchor to make a podcast, you know just how easy it is.
