Recording lectures and making great notes when I first started using it but trying to get help from the devs because my lifetime sub is tied to a private Apple email and I need to transfer it to my actual Apple email or google account so I can keep the notes I have already created. ### 3/5 — Stay away *2026-06-17, version 4.6* Consistent corrupted notes when it works it’s great but my last two lectures where totally corrupted and unable to even listen to the notes ### 5/5 — Definitely recommend *2026-04-21, version 4.6* Very good app helps if you need to learn a lot of things quickly! ### 5/5 — So good *2026-04-14, version 4.6* This app is getting me through nursing school! ### 5/5 — Extremely helpful and intuitive *2026-04-08, version 4.6* I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now and it has quickly become part of my daily routine. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and the features work exactly as described. I especially appreciate how stable the performance is—no crashes or lag so far. Definitely worth the download! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-04-01, version 4.6* Love this app so much. Is is similar to NotebookLM but with more features. ### 5/5 — In 8 grade helps me a lot *2026-03-30, version 4.6* Am in the 8 grade taking high school classes this helps a lot with geometry and biology ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-26, version 4.6* Helps me study with the quizzes. ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-03-26, version 4.6* Great at what it does and it does a lot. The Intuitive design is a bonus to this highly functional app. Great job, devs. ### 4/5 — Easy and amazing to use *2026-03-24, version 4.6* I have adhd so I find it hard to read long sentences and focus but tldl helped me so much by summarizing my 4 page pre-test for my test tomorrow and it told me what problems I have left to solve and it helped me a lot! 5 starsss! ### 5/5 — 👍🏾 *2026-03-24, version 4.6* i love this app ### 4/5 — Great for summarizing my large chapters for my books. *2026-03-16, version 4.6* It is good for summarizing chapters. However, I notice when i play my audio of a chapter that particularly long , the recording stops without me know and displays an error to which i can’t even save what is has recorded. Which waste a lot of my time. Also it would be nice if after summarizing my notes it would allow me to upload images of my figure examples to incorporate into the notes. instead every image is broken down into notes. this makes me need another app to take the notes to and incorporate images. ### 4/5 — Absolutely a five star app **** with ONE request *2026-03-15, version 4.6* The ability to edit the original transcript that was generated from the audio recording and not have to edit it elsewhere and re-upload in nearby have to re-write notes and anything else generated from that recording. I hope I’m just not seeing this capability and it is there, the app is filled with many rich capabilities so I could’ve overlooked it. If so, I’ll absolutely edit my review to five stars without hesitation. One more suggestion I have is to be able to add bookmarked times stamps when editing a note (AI generated notes from audio recording). It’d be like @ing or tagging or adding a link to that specific part of your uploaded audio. This would be soooo helpful. But seriously this app is amazing. Haven’t found an app that has provided a full solution to a a problem that may arise that has many different criteria in alongggg time. Thank you for creating this magnificent app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It deleted all my notes *2026-08-16, version 4.6* All my anatomy physiology notes and flash cards are gone during this new update. I already paid my annual $50 to use the program and when I opened the program for school this year I had to pay again and my old gone school notes are. I’m in the process of getting a refund. In nursing school I can’t afford to lose all my organised study material. ### 1/5 — abandoned app *2026-07-24, version 4.6* Unfortunately, the app has not been updated for five months, and bugs remain unresolved. Being an AI app, five months without an update says a lot about where the app is heading toward its shutdown. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-07-03, version 4.6* I signed up in February and got a 50% discount on a one year. I paid $49.99. I used it in February and then have not used it since. I tried to get into it today and I won’t let me login. I feel like I’ve been ripped off there is nobody to contact to get this going again. Do not purchase this app. ### 1/5 — Still cannot produce podcast; cannot provide the original text after transcription *2026-05-16, version 4.6* 1. Cannot produce podcast, Error: We are unable to upload your file. Please try again. 2. After uploading the PDF, only a study summary is available; the app cannot provide a transcribed text. ### 1/5 — 무료로 잘 쓰다가 갑자기 계정 접근 불가(평생무료 계정이였음) *2026-05-13* 왜 안되는지 확인 필요 ### 1/5 — Serious bugs *2026-04-28, version 4.6* I have a ‘failed’ note instructing me to upload again, but that option is frozen. I also have several notes, dating back to April 13, that are stuck in a “creating notes” loop and never complete the process. Support request is acknowledged but never followed up on. Highly frustrating!! ### 1/5 — Sgtronnie *2026-04-09, version 4.6* I bought a subscription and it will not let me record anything until I buy another subscription I want my money back I want the app PLEASE HELP PLEASE FIX ### 1/5 — Cannot produce podcast; cannot provide the original text after transcription *2026-03-07, version 4.6* 1.
