Hey Brian! I was a big user of Anchor when it first came out, but they changed the product in too many ways and lost me. Is Clipisode like Anchor for video?
@julie_fredrickson Funny, I only remember the early versions of Anchor myself. I had the idea for Clipisode while I was working on another business and when Anchor came out I thought "oh no, everyone's going to say I'm doing Anchor for video!" From what I remember, you needed to use their app to reply and join a show. And you couldn't really curate your shows and change the order of the replies. In that way it was more like an audio Twitter conversation. It just unfolds publicly and you let it roll.
Clipisode lets you make content that looks really casual, all shot on phones and doesn't feel over-produced, but gives you total control over what clips appear and what order they appear in. Anchor today looks more like audio feeds by topic, like the politics channel, science channel, movies channel. More like satellite radio, which I love. If I wasn't busy launching my own app, I would download theirs and give you a better answer!

Having major probs getting it off either Google Play for my LG phone, or from Apple Store for my i-Pad. Really keen to give it a try. Really seems to fulfil a need!
@ian_blair_hamilton Hi Ian. We didn't make it available for the iPad yet. Just stretching the layout would make for an ugly app. We are a two-person team, so it's on our list but we have a lot to do.
If it's not showing up for you in the Google Play store, maybe it's an Android minimum version issue? We support Android 6.0+, which means all the way back to 2015 for a 2018 video production app. Older phones can reply to shows just fine, but, again, two-person team…
Let me know if that doesn't answer your questions. Thanks for checking us out!

OK, My LG phone has Android 5.0 which according to your reply should be ok. It's Google that tells me it's not compatible. Stranger than fiction.
@ian_blair_hamilton We support Android 6.0 or better, which is all the way back to 2015. Clipisode is an app for daily/weekly video authors, so it needs a modern OS and modern camera hardware. The good news is that no one needs the app to join a show. But for creating and producing shows you'll need Android 6+ or iOS 9+. Hope that makes sense!

"I used Clipisode when it was in beta last year with one of my conferences. We asked our speakers and attendees a question and ran their responses as a video show to kick off day one. There is no easier way to get video content from people all over the world. And your guest stars love seeing themselves on the big screen."
@scottabel I just got an email asking about using Clipisode specifically for conferences. They must have seen this. Wild. You were one of our first and best creators Scott. Thanks!
Clipisode is the easiest way to make quick, great-looking video shows with your fans.
Dozens of companies have tried this before — including Facebook — and all of them failed. We’ve unlocked some unfair advantages. People don’t need to download an app to reply. They don’t have to join a new social network. And it’s not live, so your fans can look up answers and do re-takes before replying.
It’s easy to use. Share a link to your intro video on Twitter, Facebook, Twitch or Instagram — and people send you video replies without leaving those apps. You keep the best replies, drag them into the perfect order and add an ending. It’s your show. You get the last word. Clipisode combines all of this into a single great-looking video with animated overlays featuring your guests’ names like they're on a TV talk show.
Your fans want to help you win. Your fans want to be included in what you do. And your fans want recognition. When you include them in shareable video shows, they become an army of marketers — helping you sell more products, generate tons of buzz and recruit even more fans.
Get your show on!
I've been aware of this app for a bit... I make a live video product, and I love recommending Clipisode to my customers as a supplementary "anti-live" video product. It's an interesting way to engage users on their schedule, and for influencers, they can generate quality conversations with their superfans really quickly, with very little effort. It's a pretty big reward seeing someone you follow shout you out personally.
I think Clipisode has a lot of potential. If I was a brand, social media marketer, etc., this would be something I'd probably implement stat.
@randallb Thank you Randall! It is definitely a spiritual cousin of Vidpresso.

Clipisode is a great example of a product that removes the unnecessary technical complexities behind creating giving the creator the headspace to focus on the actual creation. Congratulations Brian on the launch!
