### 2/5 — Lost my recordings

*2026-04-29*

Customer service says it is because when I turned the screen off on my phone, my phone put the app in the background and didn’t prioritize my microphone which caused my hour and a half recording of my class notes that I need to print to use for my midterm tomorrow not to save to the cloud which in turn caused it to not save to the Genio app. The pictures I added throughout the recording are there so I don’t understand how the photos are still there but the recording is not. I’m going to go back to using the voice recorder on my phone because I’ve never had a problem with that app.

### 2/5 — Slow & buggy

*2026-04-11, version 1.262.0*

The app is too slow to be functional and constantly crashes

### 1/5 — Mobile app is garbage

*2026-03-12, version 1.260.0*

Enough said

### 1/5 — Crashing and unusable

*2026-03-03, version 1.260.0*

App is constantly crashing on my
iPhone as of two weeks ago. I have been unable to get the notes I need in class because of this. It needs to be fixed. It’s unusable

### 3/5 — Not as good on IPad

*2026-02-22, version 1.260.0*

I have used this app on both iPad and MacBook and in has much less features on iPad. Most importantly for me there is no AI transcript and no audio recording from your device browser.

### 3/5 — Scribble

*2026-02-10, version 1.259.0*

The scribble will not let me post my notes to the recording

### 1/5 — App is stripped down. Would be acceptable if the web version didn’t punish you for using iOS.

*2026-01-27*

Top right corner menu is buggy, closing by itself unless you treat the cursor with a surgeon’s precision, making changing the settings mid-session exceedingly difficult or impossible. Overall, markedly less functionality than the web version, which, after contacting support, I learned I can’t use in a browser on my iPad anyway. I was told by support that mobile browsers “do not have the functionality needed to run the website version”, which might be true for all I know, I’m not a developer, but from an end-user standpoint it seems ridiculous to me when NotebookLM runs just fine on every browser on every machine I own, and my old crunchy desktop computer is less powerful than the brand new over-engineered iPad I use during grad school lectures and while studying out and about. I’ve informed my case manager to ask for a refund for the license. There must be parity, even if imperfect, between this version and the web version for the purchase to be worthwhile—if I’m not allowed to use the web version. If I can’t use the features that have been paid for on a device the company says is supported, why use the service?

### 1/5 — Disappointing.

*2025-12-26, version 1.255.0*

Tried this after using Jamworks.  Was very disappointed. Weak interface and very clunky.  Not a helpful app. 👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Phone app is horrible

*2025-11-12, version 1.252.0*

The app keeps crashing before an old event can upload to the computer, much less try to start a new event. This renders the app useless.

### 1/5 — Very Poor App Design

*2025-11-02, version 1.252.0*

When this product was Glean, the App worked perfectly and was very responsive and easy to use. Since the change over to Genio App, it’s worked poorly, with a slow response time, and constantly closes on itself. Basically, the App can’t be used.
