### 3/5 — Improvement Needed

*2026-01-25*

Closely matches “Dumai AI” , though more inferior considering intuitiveness and iOS version support—where Dumai AI supports iOS 15.1+ (and even MacOS 12+)

### 5/5 — I already do this so much

*2025-09-04*

I already used my phone to app a lot and this just helps me keep track of my Notes app

### 5/5 — Great tool to utilize AI

*2025-08-17, version 1.2.1*

Absolutely amazing tool, extremely handy just a tap to record everything, and reminds reasonable size of audio file. 
I found the audio file can be downloaded which makes it even more useful!
Keep polishing it please!

### 5/5 — If you are a terrible note taker you need this APP

*2025-08-09*

I am a very good notetaker so understand this when I tell you that this is the best notetaking app I have seen the reason for that is the way that it records sessions and the way it leaves the notes it is as very spot on as someone who actually took the notes themselves like they were in class notating the professor word for word! 
You have to get this APP

### 5/5 — I can not recommend this app highly enough

*2025-07-22*

I have had multiple transcriber apps and disliked them all for different reasons. This particular app blows my socks off because it’s so accurate AND I am able to ask questions of AI in the app. I can’t stress how useful the AI is enough

### 5/5 — Download this now (for all my anxious girlies)

*2025-07-19*

This app has saved me from my anxious brain so many times. It has synthesized information that was difficult to process because of my anxious brain. BIG Thank you to this app!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent service

*2025-07-15, version 1.1.9*

Answer very soon and excellent service

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-06-26, version 1.1.9*

Used this at a multi Speaker seminar I recently attended and the results were outstanding

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2025-06-25, version 1.1.9*

I try this app and used every day to make voice note to beautiful detail note I like so much thanks developer

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-06-04, version 1.1.9*

Game changer for my ideas and being in class summarise I like the fact that you can ask questions. I like the fact he understands different languages. It’s really good.

### 5/5 — Must Have!

*2025-06-04, version 1.1.9*

MUST HAVE!

### 5/5 — Une application bluffante pour la retranscription, même des termes médicaux !

*2025-06-01*

J’ai testé Yapnote (Lecture Notes AI) et je dois dire que je suis vraiment impressionnée par la qualité de la retranscription, surtout en français. Même les termes médicaux compliqués sont parfaitement compris et retranscrits, ce qui est extrêmement rare ! Pour avoir essayé plusieurs applis du même genre, c’est la seule qui arrive à ce niveau de précision, ou en tout cas l’une des seules sur le marché.

L’interface est simple, l’utilisation est intuitive, et le résultat est bluffant. J’ai aussi beaucoup apprécié la rapidité de traitement et la clarté des notes générées. Le résumé automatique est très utile, même si j’aimerais pouvoir choisir la langue du résumé (par exemple, un résumé en français pour un audio en français, ou la possibilité de traduire un résumé anglais en français). Ce serait aussi génial de pouvoir obtenir des résumés longs et détaillés, surtout pour les contenus complexes.

J’apprécie énormément la possibilité de poser directement des questions à l’intelligence artificielle sur la retranscription : c’est un vrai plus pour approfondir ou clarifier certains points de mes notes.

Quelques suggestions pour aller encore plus loin :

	•	Pouvoir importer ses propres audios ou des vidéos (YouTube ou autres) directement via un lien ou en important le fichier, ce serait top !

	•	Avoir la possibilité de régler la taille de la police, choisir la police d’écriture (et pourquoi pas importer ses propres polices, notamment manuscrites avec les caractères spéciaux français).
	
       •	Pouvoir personnaliser la mise en forme des notes et des résumés : gras, souligné, surlignage, couleurs personnalisées, etc.

	•	Écouter le résumé ou la retranscription avec une voix naturelle (pas robotique !), ce qui serait très utile pour réviser ou pour les personnes qui préfèrent l’audio.

	•	Générer des flashcards à partir des notes pour réviser ou mémoriser plus facilement.

	•	Actuellement, on peut partager le résumé et la transcription séparément, ce qui est déjà très pratique. Mais ce serait encore mieux de pouvoir partager, au choix, le résumé, la transcription et l’audio : soit les trois en même temps, soit seulement un ou deux éléments selon mes besoins.

	•	Enfin, j’aimerais vraiment que l’interface utilisateur soit disponible en français, pour une expérience encore plus fluide et accessible.

Je trouve aussi que cette application est particulièrement adaptée aux personnes ayant des troubles cognitifs, de mémoire ou d’attention. Elle peut également être très utile pour les personnes sourdes ou malentendantes. C’est vraiment un outil inclusif et intelligent !

Le développeur est très réactif et à l’écoute des retours, ce qui est très appréciable. Je suis impatiente de découvrir les prochaines mises à jour, qui s’annoncent prometteuses.

Bravo pour cette application qui, à mon avis, va devenir incontournable pour la prise de notes intelligente et la retranscription audio, que ce soit pour les étudiants, les professionnels de santé, ou toute personne souhaitant gagner du temps et de la précision !

### 5/5 — Great Note Taker apps

*2025-05-14, version 1.1.9*

I think this note-taking app is the best one I've tried for my meetings. The recording quality is always great, whatever language you're listening in. It'd be great if it was available for the iPad too.

### 5/5 — Great app and kind devs

*2025-05-06*

This app is one of the best note takers I’ve used, and is being continually updated to be even more helpful. I really appreciate the devs being open to feedback, and you can even vote in the app on what you want to see next. I recently lost my job, and long story short Daniel at YapNote was extremely accommodating and went out of his way to help me out with my subscription. 10/10 recommend YapNote to anyone looking!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unreliable scam

*2026-06-04*

Purchased a 1 year subscription for yapnote. When working its great, but too often the app does not work and gets stuck generating a summary. It takes days to create a summary from notes. For anyone the relies on accurate and fast AI generated note summaries, this app is a total miss. Ive spoken to the developer multiple times to voice my frustration and all that I was told was “wait 48 hrs for the model to get back on line”. Unacceptable. At $100, a non working product with virtually no support is a scam.  AVOID!

### 1/5 — Average at best

*2026-03-03, version 1.2.1*

Average at best. There is no way to export the actual voice recording, only the transcript or summary. Gheir help desk is virtually non-existent. Save your money, there are many better alternatives to buy

### 1/5 — I don’t recommend

*2026-03-01, version 1.2.1*

There no possibility to move your data to a new device or even backup what you have, if you changed your device you lose all your old data

### 1/5 — Bad privacy policy.

*2025-09-03, version 1.2.1*

Bad privacy policy, other good notes taking apps doesn't collect personal data.

### 1/5 — Tired of scamming games

*2025-08-02, version 1.2.1*

Another misleading AGF promotion.

### 1/5 — Myself

*2025-07-13, version 1.1.9*

Not happy

### 1/5 — Ganz nettes Tool, stark verbesserungsfähig

*2025-04-07, version 1.1.6*

Die Idee ist gut und wird auch ganz gut umgesetzt. Witzig sind die automatisch erstellten todo‘s. Schwierig: Summaries deutscher Texte sind manchmal auf Englisch, manchmal Deutsch und müssen dann per KI übersetzt werden. Das klappt immerhin. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, die Notizen in Verzeichnisse zu sortieren. Eine eher rudimentäre App mit viel Potenzial zur Verbesserung. Good luck! 300 Euro für Lifetime sind derzeit ein Witz. Nachtrag: Eine Anfrage beim Support wurde weder binnen 24 Stunden noch überhaupt beantwortet. Finger weg!

### 1/5 — Didnt give me the lifetime option

*2025-03-19, version 1.1.6*

I downloaded this yesterday and tried to purchase the “lifetime” feature. It did not let me. It kept giving me errors. Totally bummed

### 1/5 — app lừa đảo

*2025-03-09, version 1.1.5*

ghi lifetime 0đ mà vào app không thấy, cũng không mua được, làm ăn rất vớ vẩn

### 1/5 — This app basically doesnt work

*2025-03-07, version 1.1.4*

They upload the sound recording to their servers, and you cannot delete. Also it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-08-19*

I really do love this app. I use it regularly, typically when I’m driving, and I can just speak my streams of consciousness in the app stores it, provide a transcript, and organize it into something that makes sense.

It’s sleek and simple both things I love

### 5/5 — YapNote

*2026-04-09, version 1.2.1*

I’m really enjoyed the ease a d convof using YapNote“s AI Taking app. Its my goto note tsking app!

### 5/5 — FINALLY!! Best App for Voice Recording

*2026-02-05*

Literally, I have looked at up to 30+ apps on the App Store and this is by far the most simplest app to literally do your voice recording and AI to summarize it. I just needed something simple. I’m not in school. This is more for personal use and I’m creative use And this has been best so far with loading with connecting and getting the summaries of my voice notes thank you Yapnote.

### 5/5 — 5 Star!

*2026-02-02, version 1.2.1*

I love this app! So easy to use, and very accurate. Well done Yapnotes❣️

### 5/5 — 好用

*2025-11-27, version 1.2.1*

赞👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-11-13, version 1.2.1*

Amazing app would definitely recommend it

### 5/5 — Simple to use!

*2025-10-17, version 1.2.1*

Great app with pretty good accuracy. I did encounter one session where it did not produce a transcript. Don’t know if it was too long(nearly two hours). It will be even better if the AI summary will support traditional Chinese in the future! Please add search and cloud backup function!

### 5/5 — Top

*2025-10-07, version 1.2.1*

Top

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-10-07, version 1.2.1*

Game changer for my ideas and being in class summarise I like the fact that you can ask questions. I like the fact he understands different languages. It’s really good.

### 5/5 — Incredible results

*2025-09-26*

There’s tons of AI transcription apps but this one is really remarkable in how it can summarize a recording.

I tried taking its transcript and pasting into another AI note tool but the few I tried weren’t able to produce the same quality output.

You should really try it and see. I continue to be amazed and impressed by its output.
