What's New in Playbacks

3.2.4

October 29, 2026

Hi Playbacks family! Playbacks isn't just for recordings anymore. Summarise Anything - Not Just Audio Your best material doesn't always start with a recording. Now you can add PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files, web articles, YouTube videos, and photos straight into Playbacks, right alongside your audio recordings. Playbacks summarises each one, and you can chat with it just like you would with a recording. For students: drop in the lecture slides, the assigned reading, or that two-hour YouTube lecture, and get clear notes in minutes. Snap a photo of the whiteboard or a textbook page and ask the chat to explain the parts that didn't click. For work: add the report, the deck, or the article everyone's talking about, and get the key points without reading the whole thing. Ask the chat for the numbers, the decisions, or the one slide that matters. Mix and match: combine files, links, and recordings in one note, and your summary and chat cover all of it. Quizzes & Flashcards - Study Smarter Turn any note into a study session. Generate quizzes and flashcards from your recordings and sources to test what you know and make it stick. Share them with classmates and friends, and see who tops the leaderboard. Enjoy the update!

Notea taking

Omg wirh my notes

The best app ever

This is honestly the best study app I’ve ever come across. When I tell you, i’ve tried sooo many study apps, I have. But they all were just mediocre until I tried this app. It’s so worth it. The chat feature has to be my favorite because it responds to be so fast and detailed!! Definitely recommend. The unlimited version is sooo worth it too.

love this app!!

I use Playbacks for school and for work related stuff and it’s been incredibly helpful. It takes away a lot of the stress of feeling like I need to write down every single thing that was said during a meeting or a lecture and I have seen my grades improve significantly!

great for notetaking!

helps me stay super productive and on top of meetings and lectures! transcript is pretty accurate and the ai q&a feature helps me get a much better understanding of what was discussed :)

Saved me in college!

I highly highly recommend this app. It’s a game changer and has streamlined studying for me. It has saved me so much time and so many headaches.
