What's New in Playbacks

2.9.7

August 5, 2026

Hi Playbacks family! This is our biggest update yet. Talk to Your Recordings — Now You Can Have a Conversation Your recordings can finally talk back. Tap once and start a live voice conversation with any meeting or lecture — ask questions out loud, get answers out loud, in real time. No typing, no scrolling through transcripts to find the one thing you needed. For work: debrief a meeting on your walk home, ask what you committed to, pull out the decisions that actually mattered, and prep your follow-ups before you're back at your desk. For students: turn any lecture into a study session. Ask your professor's explanation to be broken down again, quiz yourself on the material, or dig into the concept that didn't click the first time. It's like having the lecture available for questions whenever you need it. As always, we're building Playbacks for you. If there's something you'd love to see next, leave us a review or reach out anytime. Enjoy the update!

Not worth it

Honestly i like the idea of it but trying to get this to help me take notes was a pain, i tried uploading the recording and it kept saying failed because “to many people were using the app” and almost lost 25 minutes of a lecture.then i tried asking questions and it kept telling me “to many people were using the app” so no it isn’t worth the $15 a month.

Very helpful an easy to use

This app is very helpful and easy to use. It makes recording and transcribing notes simple and saves a lot of time.

So you get all the way through setting up, then right at the end, they slug you for $150 a year! For the service? Wth, moneygrubbs

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for giving Playbacks a try, and sorry the pricing caught you off guard! Just wanted to clear a couple of things up. Playbacks is USD $99/year, which works out to about $8/month - we think that's pretty fair for unlimited AI transcription and notetaking, but we know everyone's budget is different. A few things worth knowing: we offer a 7-day free trial so you can try everything before paying a cent, and we also have a genuinely generous free tier - you're welcome to keep using Playbacks without ever subscribing. Hopefully that gives you a way to enjoy the app on your own terms. If you'd give it another look, we'd really appreciate it. And if anything's unclear or not working for you, just reach out - we're a small team and we read everything. Thanks again!

So good

Love using this in my meetings. Our company don’t allow us to install software on our machines. So I use this personally. It works great!

Game changer!

This app has DRASTICALLY improved my day to day meetings and subsequent minutes. Wish I found it sooner.
