### 5/5 — The best privacy first in-person meeting assistant

*2025-01-22, version 1.4.0*

I love Menlo AI's approach to keeping all my data on my iPhone or iCloud instead of storing it on their cloud. 
It's incredible. 

I wish they would add more calendar options like Google and Outlook.

### 5/5 — Menlo AI did fantastically

*2025-01-21*

I recorded a one-hour meeting. The entire meeting was summarized with bullet points and action steps. The transcript was accurately recorded, although it was not formatted at all. Additionally, the entire recording is available for replay.

I’m very happy with this app.

While you can copy the summary notes and your transcript, the audio recording stays in the app. (-1 Star)

**Update**: The newest version shows an API, but the update notes don't mention a lifetime option or grandfathering in early adopters.

It was fun while it lasted. I'll be deleting the app now.  I do lifetime purchases, I don't do app "rentals".

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your feedback; it is much appreciated.

I noticed you mentioned that audio remains in the app. Would you prefer to have the option to delete the audio?

Additionally, we offer a yearly subscription at a discount for our early supporters. Would you be interested in this option?

Best,
Rohil

It’s my preferred in-person meeting app for client and investor meetings. I’m looking for new updates.

**Developer response:** Hi Rishhari, 

Thank you for your love and support for Menlo.

We have just released a new update. Please take a look! 

Best regards,

### 1/5 — Expensive subscription

*2025-01-21*

It’s a very expensive subscription

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

A fee of $7.99 per month helps cover the costs associated with AI transcription and summarization services.

Would you prefer to have a few free hours each month?

### 5/5 — The best AI for in-person meetings

*2025-03-06, version 1.7.2*

Menlo is my EA in every meeting. I don’t need to remember to write important notes. I have to just press record.

### 5/5 — A Must-Have AI Assistant for In-Person Meetings!

*2025-02-18*

Most of the time, when I meet people in a cafe or coffee shop for casual or official conversations, one of the biggest challenges is remembering all the important points we discuss, especially when meeting multiple people back-to-back. Many times, I’ve wished for a personal assistant to take notes while I focus on the conversation.

Menlo AI is a game changer for this. It automatically takes notes, summarizes key discussions, and generates action items, ensuring you never miss crucial details. The AI is impressively accurate and insightful, turning complex conversations into clear, actionable takeaways. The built-in reminders and follow-ups help keep tasks on track, making post-meeting execution effortless. Plus, the app is intuitive and easy to use, If you're attending an online meeting, you can use it as well, all of this happens with just two mouse clicks. I loved it!

If you want to boost productivity and efficiency in your meetings, Menlo AI is a must-have! Highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Thank you, Aronin. I really appreciate your love.

### 5/5 — Best note taking app ever

*2025-02-18*

Especially suited for VCs and Angel Investors

**Developer response:** Thank you. Investors are going to love it.

### 5/5 — Really great for meetings

*2025-02-09, version 1.5.0*

I use this every time i have a meeting and tend to forget what were the key pointers

### 5/5 — An awesome assistant for in person meetings

*2025-02-01*

Just what I needed for in person meetings from which I was able to quickly share summary and action items. Auto scheduling of next events derived from talk was highly accurate. Beautiful UI and UX. Please bring support for auto analysis of multiple languages.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support! We’re glad the app helps with your in-person meetings and task management. Multi-language support is on our roadmap—stay tuned for updates!

***To developer:  Thank you for reaching out to me.

I wanted to be able to export my recording so that I could keep them, but not on my phone.  Other transcription apps allow me to do that.  5 meetings a week would fill the phone’s memory up quickly. Deleting them while keeping the notes would also be a nice option.

As for subscriptions, they also add up fast. What many of us users want is for developers to offer us affordable lifetime subscriptions.  There are many developers that do that for a limited time for early adopters.  With AI, that can be a poor long term model, but to us, it supports those who supported the developers as early adopters and testers.

Over all, I loved your app.  In fact it has been the best one I’ve tried.  I just do see subscriptions (rentals really) long term budget friendly solutions for my household.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.

I also think that automatically deleting the audio after a few days would be a good option. Once we have proper summaries and transcripts, we don’t need the audio. This also ensures better privacy. We can provide an option to export the audio if needed.

We are currently working on formatting the transcript and will push an update soon.

Additionally, we offer a yearly subscription at a discount for our early supporters. Would you be interested in this option?

Best,

### 5/5 — This is a game-changer for in-person meetings. The design is simply beautiful.

*2025-01-23*

They have solved one thing I was missing in Menlo. The new update with automatic action items and reminders is a game-changer.

Surprisingly, during one of my conversations I casually mentioned an event happening in San Francisco. The app automatically identified the event’s full name, date, time, and location, then added it to my reminders.

Loving the design and overall app experience so far.

**Developer response:** Thank you, Olivia_SF. 
We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re loving the app and its new features. It’s great to know that the automatic action items and reminders are making your in-person meetings easier. Feedback like yours inspires us to keep enhancing the experience. Stay tuned for more updates, and let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see in the future.

*2025-01-22, version 1.4.0*

Incredible! I’ve been using Menlo AI for my in-person meetings over the last few days, and it beautifully drafts summaries and action items.

With the new update, the action items are automatically added to a reminder, so I don’t have to worry about missing them.

The app design is clean—one of the best I’ve ever seen in an app.

Congrats to the Menlo team! I’m excited for the upcoming updates.
