  • Literally so helpful

    Just wish I had more hours in a week :,) I go to an Early College highschool and this app has figuratively saved my head on so many occasions.

    Thanks for the 5 stars! We've updated QuickTakes to give you 6 free hours per month of recording time with no weekly cap! We hope that helps.
  • Useful tool

    I have adhd and have a hard time taking notes and actually listening to a lecture at the same time. This is great for sitting and listening then reviewing later. Unfortunately, you need to pay for more time and sometimes summaries will be inaccurate, but there’s a transcript to look back at that’s been very useful for notes.
  • Amazing app

    When I first got this app it was extremely new, I had only seen one review and now there are 50 reviews. I wish that theee were more reviews since this app is truly AMAZING. It has chat features, glossary, videos to understand the concepts, and so much more. I am currently using this for my organic chemistry 1 class and it is helping me a lot for my final. Amazing app. Would recommend to the world if I could .

    Please do recommend us to the world and more students will be successful! Get ready for additional features to help you study - including flashcards! Coming soon!
  • So convenient for students 🤩

    This is probably such a convenient app to have as a student for lectures. It generates the recording into an outline, study guide, there’s even a glossary and links to videos based on the recording! 🤩
    The only downfall that I recently figured out after using the app..there isn’t an option to be able to listen to that recording if you are recording directly through the app. I know there’s a transcript but I think it’d be helpful to also listen to the recording to work with the outline/study guide. I hope they’re able to come up with that as an option!
    Also forgot to mention, every week you get 90mins free to use and refreshes each week which is really cool. Overall it’s a great app and I’d recommend to my other friends/classmates and if you don’t wanna type up a whole outline study guide this helps a lot :))))

    Thanks for the nice review! We're actively working on the ability to listen to the recording. Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks! Quick Update! Now you get 6 free hours of recording time per month (no weekly cap). And, you can always listen to the recording. tap on a QuickTake, tap on the "Live Recording" link at the top and listen to the full recording in multiple speeds, fast forward and go back to find specific parts of the recording!
  • Can’t sign in on QuickTakes

    I’ve used this app to record on lectures and videos and it’s all normal, but when I open the app there was an error about the connection to tried again and still there. I’ve reinstalled the app again log in on google account and the message appeared and said to try again because of the connection. Could this be some bug to fixed the app?

  • would give it a 0

    I don’t really like this app. i recorded a 30 minutes lecture..only 30 min because we were watching a video and i stopped because i didn’t want notes on it and it said error and that there wasn’t enough information. and if won’t reload it just kept saying error…this app is great in theory not well executed. Don’t waste your time on it guys…

    Developer Response

    If you are recording a lecture while watching a video then the app cannot share the microphone on the same device. That is probably why you received an error. Please reach out to us at support@edkey.com and we can trouble shoot for you!
  • A waste of time!

    None of my notes are populating and everything comes up blank! This app is really a waste of time. I only gave it 2 stars because the ideal of the app is great other than that this app is FRIED!

  • Ridiculous

    The fact I have to subscribe now for more time to record is ridiculous

    Developer Response

This allows us to continue offering and improve the app. We're developing new ways to earn free minutes and launching other subscription options soon - for a couple of Starbucks a month, our users get a wealth of learning resources. Reach out to us at support@edkey.com and we'll work to help you out.
  • Horrible update

    Use to give you 40 min for each recording, now you have to pay and it only give you a hour half for the week and if you want extra time after that runs out you have to pay was good before the update now it’s horrible

    Developer Response

    We appreciate your point of view. We do allow you to now record more than 40 min at a time and we are also looking at attractive subscription options as well as other ways users can earn additional QuickTakes. Please stay tuned!
  • A cutting-edge tool & invaluable resource

    As a recent college grad and now working professional, I’ve found QuickTakes both professionally and personally useful, even for something as simple as listening to a YouTube video about cooking or a podcast that had some terminology you want to remember. The accuracy has blown me away and I have had a seamless experience so far with the app.

    If only I had this in college! I know that both when I was attending class in person and when I was doing it virtually during COVID, this tool would’ve helped me look up from my notes and engage in classroom discussion more.
