### 4/5 — Great app but…

*2025-02-02*

Great app , easy to learn because of the exercise and the pictures they offer but English isn’t my first language and if more languages like French  were available it would be so much better and would definitely deserve a 5 star rating!!

### 1/5 — Locked in

*2024-10-28, version 5.3.1*

I cannot delete my account. It takes me back to the main page, then back to the app.

### 5/5 — Totally worth it!!!!

*2023-11-16, version 1.0.1*

I have been using Brainy for a few weeks now, and I must say it's a very useful app for students. As a graduate student, I study a lot from my professor's notes, which are way too much for me. So, I simply upload the notes, and then I get flashcards for my notes (the best feature in the app). Additionally, I can create my knowledge base for my entire course. The newly added YouTube function is pretty amazing too!

Highly recommended for students.

- From one student to another :)

### 5/5 — Great assistant

*2023-11-03, version 4.0.11*

I love this product. It helps me a lot in my college classes. Saves tonne of my time from manual note taking. It is now super easy to refresh everything at exam time in a short time (from notes). I recommend you try it out. 

Also, this app doesn’t share my data with other users or advertisers. Privacy matters to me and hence I like this app even more.

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2023-09-17, version 4.0.5*

This application is very useful not only for students but for working professionals as well.

We can capture the meeting notes and at end of day just scroll through to make sure we have actioned on all items.

It also offers monthly free 300 minutes and 100 requests which is a plus point.

### 5/5 — It’s of great use .

*2023-09-14, version 4.0.5*

Excellent app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2023-09-12, version 4.0.5*

The app summarizes the course videos very aptly and precise which makes learning very easy.

### 5/5 — Long Lectures? - Here is the Solution !

*2023-09-07, version 4.0.4*

Brainy’s transcription accuracy is outstanding, streamlining the conversion of recordings into text. The summaries provided alongside transcripts enhance comprehension, and the flash card generation feature is a game-changer for quick revision. What's truly remarkable is the integration of a chat feature in the Brainy App, allowing users to gain insights and clarity on their recordings or lectures. This app has significantly improved my learning journey, making it both efficient and interactive.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!! Love YT Insights!!

*2023-09-06, version 4.0.4*

Super easy and a versatile app. I’ll share my unique usecases:

1. Letter/Notice summary: I’m a busy professional who doesn’t have much time to read through lengthy letters or notices received from companies. So I uploaded them to brainy and within few seconds, I was able to ask brainy to summarize it and what’s the action requested from the reader. It gave correct answers including due by dates. Super cool!

2. YouTube videos: I usually don’t have the time to watch lengthy YouTube tutorials on topics which I want to learn more about (like data science or system design). I gave the hour long video URL to brainy and asked it to summarize the topic and ask follow up questions to accelerate my learning. Relevant timestamps in the answers were the cherry on top!

I wish I had found this app sooner during my grad day. Would have finished studying in no time :)

### 5/5 — A useful learning companion

*2023-09-06*

Being a lifelong learner, I've tried my fair share of educational tools, and Brainy is a recent addition that truly stands out. If only it had been available during my earlier years, it would have been a game-changer for students like me. Its main feature is its effortless lecture and conversation recording, followed by automatic transcription into notes. This has freed me from rushed and messy note-taking, allowing me to focus entirely on the content at hand. But Brainy doesn't stop there. Its flashcard feature takes learning is cool. It helps reinforce key concepts and ideas. For students at any stages, this app is great and makes learning more efficient and effective.
