Awesome when it opens

Love most everything about the app and functions but frequently the app won’t fully open and I’ll have a blank processing screen.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words. We’re really glad you’re enjoying the app overall! That blank processing screen definitely isn’t expected, and we’d love to help get that sorted. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at support@read.ai so we can take a closer look.

Life changing.

Changed my life.

Upload Issues

The mobile app has been unable to transcribe my last few mobile recordings so I lost my notes. It’s unfortunate that I have to record with another app and then upload my recordings on my laptop.

The phone app is only good at accessing the features that are already on the desktop.

Requesting that the app save audio recordings taken within the mobile app directly to iPhone “Files” until they can be uploaded to read.ai. I should be able to record something, stop the recording and exit, and then close the app and still be able to access the meeting file on my phone.

Other apps that do this: Preview, Voice Recorder, WhatsApp

Great AI Note-taking

Love this app! Virtual and in-person meetings can be recorded and it doesn’t an awesome job.

Upgrade to efficiency

Adding Read AI to my client meetings has empowered me to be more present to those I serve.

Some things are amazing !

Recording live meetings feature is great. I use it all the time now during random in person conversations and brainstorming sessions. One big ask: Please add the button to add read to a currently happening conference link. That button is only available on the mobile web and it’s clunky.

Can't sign in

The app used to be fine, but I can no longer sign in since my Apple IOS Update.

App not working

Usually it works but it’s not working at all and a blurred screen and I downloaded it a second time to see if it will work again.

Doesn’t work

I do not wish to share access to my calendar so cannot use use this app. Seems to give you the choice of what to allow but if you do not allow it goes on a loop. Is this only useable if something is in my calendar? I don’t like the idea of giving an app not just access to my calendar but also ability to change it.

Beyond this… app is not set up for mobile screens. On opening page of app is record button (won’t work if you don’t sign in and give access to your calendar) and another button I cannot read as it is is cut-off and screen does not scroll.

No other options,no help/support

Disappointing App Experience

Really disappointed in the app. I sign in with google, and it renders a browser version of the app over the background of the app itself. Can never actually use the Read AI app. Deleting this and just using it through my Mac. Sorely disappointed I can’t access reports on the go.

Response from developer

Hi there, we’re sorry to hear about the issue you’ve experienced with the mobile app. If redownloading the app doesn't resolve the problem, please reach out to support@read.ai with a screenshot of what you’re seeing so we can investigate and address it as quickly as possible.

Excellent app for note taking

Love the app. Whether linked to calendar or used on the phone, this is excellent stuff. Love it. Much much better than Otter.

Much to be desired

After reading all these reviews, I thought Read AI would be perfect for taking notes and transcripts. However, that appears not to be the situation. In order to use this application, you must sync a calendar to it, but what happens if you want to do an impromptu meeting and the meeting isn't in your calendar.. Then what?

I haven't been able to get the app configured because I'm not able to get past connecting it to a Google or Outlook calendars; but if I don't have either one then what am I supposed to do?

It seems to me as this app just wants your contacts and calendar details. I've written to support, and hopefully they could provide more detail details as to how. To navigate within their app and to make it function as a note, taking AI that can generate summaries.
I don't do web meetings and I don't have a calendar so is this app actually able to function without those two parameters? As of right now, I don't believe so hopefully support can provide more clarity. Very disappointed.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out! Read requires a calendar to be connected upon account creation in order to detect upcoming meetings and determine proper access permissions for reports based on meeting participants. If you’re able to connect a calendar, you can still capture impromptu meetings on iOS by just opening the app and pressing Record. If you don’t use Google, Outlook, or Zoom calendars, we understand the onboarding flow may be frustrating. We appreciate you flagging this, and we’ll pass your feedback along to our team, who appreciates user input when planning and prioritizing our development roadmap.

Excellent! Easy. Love it

App is easy to navigate and is feature rich.

Copilot with all integrations is an improved workflow

Once you have all your integrations set up you can prompt with copilot and it’s very practical and useful. If only I could get all call recording transcripts I’d have no blind spots when it comes to integrating work with copilot. Very powerful. Very practical. I hope it expands and embraces its full capabilities.

Review

Amazing App, saves a lot of time .

UX needs work

Overall the recording and AI are great but the app on iPhone is miserable as is the website. Funny that basic keyword search is so difficult whereas the ai search is not.

Also their video player is miserable.

I say this as a paying corporate user that continues to use the app but this should be mentioned.

Gmail SSO is the worse

The app itself is ok. A bit pricey. All my problems reside with the GMail SSO, especially but not limited to the IOS version. Sometimes the back end takes up to 4 hours to process a report.

Response from developer
