Still has a lack of intuitive design
I was hoping the new app would be better designed than its predecessor, but it still isn’t very intuitive. Many toolbar icons aren’t labeled, so it often takes trial and error to figure out what they do. even with repeated use. In the note editor, there are also unclear elements like small circular icons and an unlabeled symbol indicator. Overall, the heavy reliance on icons without clear guidance or hierarchy makes the app harder to navigate than it should be, especially for students who need a more accessible experience.

Works better than the last app, but still needs improvement
I was wary of moving to the new app because of the low reviews lately, but it appears everything‘s fine. It works pretty much like the computer one and not at all like the old mobile one. The last app that they had was awful. I can’t even load it on my phone anymore. Please fix it so I can transfer over my data. It won’t even let me open the old one. Otherwise, this one works fine! I recommend everyone switch over.

Hello, thank you for your review. Could you contact support@genio.co, and I can have a look at your account and help with the migration from the Legacy app to the new app. Kind regards, Monika
Not as advertised
I upgraded to this app from what they are now calling the legacy app because of the promise of having this app work like the computer version of the app, specifically the testing feature mentioned under “apply your learning” in the “KEY FEATURES’ part of the description. This is the same app as the “legacy” app. There is no visible improvement and no testing feature. Looks like another bait and switch to me.

Hello, I'm sorry that you're unhappy with our new app. If you're unable to access our QuizMe feature then I suspect you're under a College or University account, where they've asked us to remove that feature. If you email support@genio.co then I can check to see what's happening and why the QuizMe tool is unavailable. Thanks David.
Amazing app for recordings
I’ve been testing it out on my iphone 13pro, records well and does a decent job! I would just say that hard for me to find quiz me feature other than that solid app

Great for taking notes
Genio is amazing app that works for students from all backgrounds, it’s great to record lectures and synchronize slides to the audio recording. You can also flag sections to come back to and take notes at the same time.
Amazing
I highly recommend Genio Notes because it has helped me so much with my university studies. I also have a learning disability and it has made my life so much easier. Where studying was once something I dreaded, it is now something I look forward to. I highly recommend downloading this app.
Amazing note taking app
Genio Notes has honestly become one of my favourite productivity apps. The layout is clean, easy to navigate, and makes organizing notes feel effortless. I love how simple it is to keep everything structured without the app feeling cluttered or overwhelming. It’s especially great for studying and staying on top of tasks because everything is quick to access and visually organized. The app runs smoothly, looks polished, and makes note-taking way more enjoyable overall. Definitely recommend it if you want something practical, aesthetic, and easy to use every day!

Amazing idea!
I absolutely love genio notes on my laptop so now I can get it on my phone is amazing! I can listen to the recordings on my way into uni in my headphones and I can test myself when I’m on the train! A lot easier to use in areas where bringing my laptop probably wouldn’t be realistic! Very happy and exited to keep using this!
