Please add this. ### 5/5 — 5star app *2026-09-09, version 1.56.7* One word! PERFECT!!! ### 5/5 — Folders *2026-09-09, version 1.56.7* It’s a great app for students, wish I could create folders to keep my notebooks better organized. ### 4/5 — The Best AI app ever *2026-09-08, version 1.56.7* I am not big on AI, but this AI is genuinely a game changer. As a student, I can make excellent revision resources from source materials, that are 100% accurate because the AI won’t veer off into hallucinations. You can add multiple websites, documents, videos etc to make flashcards and podcasts and quizzes and content about literally anything. I really believe this app might be paywalled in future because it’s unbelievable how this is all entirely free to use! ### 5/5 — Muito prático *2026-09-08* Utilizo principalmente para elaborar resumos para relembrar conteúdo dos textos. ### 5/5 — App funcional *2026-09-07* Perfeito 🤩 ### 5/5 — Audio podcast *2026-09-07, version 1.56.7* I’m in nursing school. Uploaded my objectives and study guide, notebook made a podcast that’s actually interesting to listen to and is definitely gonna help me in school. 10/10 this is amazing ### 5/5 — Simplified communication! *2026-09-06, version 1.56.7* If you need to understand complex ideas, theories or laws this is the best way I have found to simplify the issue so that even a child would get it. The visuals are perfect for the projects and the materials are all concise so that the information is all uniform and not all over the place. In a nutshell... I like it. ### 3/5 — Compartilhamento do link *2026-09-06* Quando faço o vídeo, o infográfico, o áudio, os slides, o quiz, e as questões, não consigo compartilhar com outras pessoas ### 4/5 — Need listen button for text in chat *2026-09-06, version 1.56.7* NotebookLM is an incredible tool for organizing notes, summarizing documents, and managing research. The interface is clean, and the overall performance is top-notch. However, I really miss a 'Listen' or text-to-speech audio playback option directly inside the app. Being able to listen to the added notes or text on the go would make this app absolute perfection. Please add an audio listening feature soon! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-09-06* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-09-05, version 1.56.7* Since I learned how to use it, it has been my favorite app. Creating podcasts is very useful and you can listen any paper and report while you driving or before sleeping ### 5/5 — Indicação MIL *2026-09-05* Muito bom, super indico como apoio, as informações são bases das fontes importadas para o aplicativo ### 5/5 — Atualização para iOS 15 *2026-09-05* Poderiam liberar acesso para iPad com iOS 15. Consigo usar o app pelo celular e notebook porém pelo iPad não é compatível. Existe alguma possibilidade? ### 5/5 — One of my most used tools *2026-09-04, version 1.56.7* This is a phenomenal tool that I use in my brand design agency the ability to add large amounts of information from various sources and to be able to instantly create a podcast discussion about whatever it is or a chart or a short video from the data is just unbelievable. It’s like a box of magic. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Output sound sucks on CarPlay *2026-09-09, version 1.56.7* The app makes great podcast for me to listen to for the work content that I need to consume. However, I like to play them in my car on my long drive to and from work. The output sound level for Notebook LM to Apple CarPlay is very quiet and it’s not audible when I’m on the highway.. The only way it works as if I disconnect CarPlay and play through the Bluetooth media connection then it is just fine. I would give the app five stars except for this, because it does not work in my main use case. Fix this Google because I am never going to buy an android phone ever again! ### 1/5 — Playback/Downloads broken 😭 *2026-09-09, version 1.56.7* Play, pause, fast forward are BROKEN from iPhone Home Screen, AirPods controls & Apple Watch Allow DOWNLOADS, can’t listen to audio while commuting or traveling TRANSCRIPTS & queuing would be great too. Amazing app 🩵 ### 1/5 — Deleted my hour long unsent message *2026-09-06, version 1.56.7* I legit just spent a freaking hour typing to this and it deleted it ALL!!! That makes no sense??? Just save it in cache holy… wow. Why is Google so massive but they have the cheapest stuff. Yall spend no time or effort on this. I wish yall weren’t a monopoly so I had any other choice. Now I don’t have any motivation to do my work!!! I just did all my work and it was deleted! It’s all of your apps too, just cheap UI and poor information. Livid stg ### 1/5 — Stupid AI !!! AI bot is such an idiot. *2026-09-06, version 1.56.7* Cannot compared with gemini even I buy the premium. AI is stupid. He can’t read context. He always understands command badly and makes conflict with himself. Why you can’t just let the gemini AI model to do these works. It’s hard to study and work by using this AI. ### 1/5 — 4 August massive decline in use *2026-09-04, version 1.56.7* Gemini is touting that it offers us more frequent updates every five hours, but it has massively massively removed too much amount of processing an AI value it used to offer when generating Notebook videos podcast, etc. before you could easily get more or two videos now you barely can get that without getting stopped At this point completely unusable such a disappointment to have people get excited about a product use it for months let it be transformational and then just materially. Roll out the roll this out and make it so expensive thank goodness there’s a free market out there. I’m sure there will be a comparable much more cheaper approach in the future that we can leverage… ### 1/5 — Very glitchy. *2026-09-03, version 1.55.10* Audio would not play, though the wave animation said it was playing. This review space is also faulty .. I cannot see what I;’m typing after the first line. ### 1/5 — Tap to rate *2026-09-01, version 1.55.10* It has asked me every time I open the app to review. And whenever I click on a notebook. That is the most annoying thing I have ever delt with on an app. ### 1/5 — Annoying pop up *2026-08-28, version 1.54.8* I give it a 1 because it won’t stop asking me to rate it ### 1/5 — Repeating the beginning of the audio. Like the audio is reset multiple times *2026-08-26, version 1.54.8* See title. Also, app ask for review each time I reload it. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-08-25, version 1.54.8* need to fix the fact that half the time when you’re playing your audio, no sound comes out constantly having to delete and regenerate ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Collection of Journals *2026-09-13, version 1.57.7* This Notebook is actually pretty useful for not only holding my collection of journals but analyzing them and providing valuable insight. Performed much better than I anticipated. Thanks team 👋🏾 ### 5/5 — I’m very impressed! *2026-09-12, version 1.57.7* I downloaded Gemini notebook because I was looking for a way to better access my Balance Method Acupuncture information I had acquired from years of studying and experience. After downloading all of my notes and case studies, I entered a few queries. I was impressed with the information accessed, as well as the speed in which the information was obtained. I’m also impressed with the podcast functionality, which has allowed me to review information while commuting to and from work. I highly recommend Gemini Notebook for all Balance Method acupuncturists to help them master the material. ### 5/5 — Great study *2026-09-12, version 1.57.7* Has we put all my information in one area so that I can study ask questions it’s great advantages for School ### 5/5 — Egg *2026-09-11, version 1.57.7* Hit ### 5/5 — Use it daily is one of the greatest unlocks *2026-09-11, version 1.57.7* If you want to learn you have to go deep! ### 5/5 — Súper helpful! *2026-09-10, version 1.56.7* I’ve increased my understanding of nursing subjects. Very appreciative of this manor of learning. ### 5/5 — رهييييب❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2026-09-10, version 1.56.7* 🥰🥰🥰🥰 ### 5/5 — Game changer for busy students *2026-09-10, version 1.56.7* This has been such an incredible tool as a medical student. I am able to retain so much more from listening to a podcast of a manuscript than just reading it. Also great for on the go learning. ### 5/5 — Synergistic magic *2026-09-09, version 1.56.7* Sharp, wise, downhill synergy 👍 ### 5/5 — Really useful *2026-09-09, version 1.56.7* Great for custom learning while walking and getting in those steps! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
