Overall Satisfaction with UberConference
I've used UberConference to record interviews for assignments over the phone. It is the easiest way I've ever done interviews. All I need to do is put on my headset, give my subjects the number and time to call in, and then hit Record as soon as everyone's in the call.
- It records calls with a simple push of a button, and does let everyone know the call is being recorded, which is a plus for those living in two-party states.
- The interface is clean and easy to use.
- The paid features allow you to call anyone for a conference call.
- Retrieving recorded files is easy, and all the files are available immediately upon the end of the call.
- Any app that uses Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" as an option for on-hold music is a winner already.
- I wish I didn't need to pay to get a custom number; why not at least follow Google Voice's lead?
- I also wish I didn't need to pay to dial-out to add guests to a given call.
- As much as I like Rick Astley, I also-also wish I didn't need to pay to upload my own on-hold music; I want some vaporwave floating in my guests' ears!
- The ease of being able to record phone calls, obtain the files, and work on assignments with accurate quotes has helped me gain more assignments from editors and other clients.
- For how often I use UberConference, the free features that are available keep my bottom line in the black.
- As a Chromebook user, the fact UberConference works on Chrome OS as an app and online means I don't have to invest hundreds of dollars into a new laptop/OS.
- Zoom
UberConference does not have a time limit, compared to the free version of Zoom. My high school reunion committee decided to use Zoom because that's what they know, though I would have chosen Facebook Messenger before Zoom had I taken Zoom for a test drive. UberConference's free features are miles above what Zoom offers for free.
