Google NotebookLM App Reviews

Looking forward to MORE. So far I’m really enjoying the app. I look forward to when it will develop further, offer more options and control, such as weighting certain sources differently or being able to add other types of files to the sources. I’d also like to be able to have the ability to reformulate the voice overs so that they can adjust when new data is entered.

Needs Improvement. I gave 4 stars because what it does is very helpful. 1 star is taken away because it’s not the level of polished you’d expect from a Google app. Even with my volume turned all the way up I can barely hear the audio. Also, it will often just not create audio even though it says it’s working on it, or it’ll say it created audio but not play anything or delay playing by a minute or so.

Waste of time and resources. This app will take any article you want and turn it into a podcast where instead of just reading the text of the article or answering your question in a straightforward way, they'll talk in circles around it for a good 20 to 30 minutes. The best part is you get to wait for several minutes just for them to create the podcast for you to start listening. What is the point of using this app? I get ZERO benefit from it. It's just a trinket. Just for show.

This app is sick. Who has time to read boring slides when you can have AI create a podcast for you so you can listen to it on your commute to school or wherever you’re trying to learn what a great idea. AI is amazing almost like getting head! But for your brain

So helpful. I’m a PhD student and I am working on synthesizing so many different sources. There were a few articles I was struggling with. Put it through this - listened and interacted - helped me clarify ideas. I don’t think it’s a replacement for reading the information. I don’t think it’s thorough enough for that - but it really helped me process and understand! I’m a HUGE fan!

Studio volume is low and no google doc linking. I generated a studio, but I had to hold it up to my ear like a phone call to hear it, which makes no sense. I tried to download it to my phone to listen to it some other way, but it didn’t go to the Apple Files, so I have no clue where it even downloaded, and it didn’t tell me. Then I tried to link a source from a Google doc, but there was no option to do so even though the desktop version did it no problem. I tried to link it in the “Website” option, but it said it couldn’t do it. I’m so frustrated at all the lost features on this app when the desktop version worked fine, but now I can’t even use it!

Force Multiplier. Notebook LM has been a game changer as a research assistant, data synthesizer, and facilitator. It’s been a tremendous help when I’ve been introduced to a new topic or interested in learning more about something. Helps with organizing and summarizing information, proposing thought-provoking questions, and laying out a timeline of events. And, the podcast feature is an excellent way to cement your understanding of the topic. All-around a very valuable tool.

Amazing product but Mobile App needs to catch up. You have an amazing product here—in my view, this is the crown jewel of the Alphabet AI ecosystem, especially on the consumer-facing side. I recommend prioritizing mobile app functionality, particularly allowing users to generate and customize audio overviews directly from the app. This would be a major step forward in usability. Equally important is the ability to save prompt and audio overview customizations within the notebook’s context window. That way, users don’t have to re-enter prompts each time they regenerate an overview to capture new details. With these changes, NotebookLM could evolve from an amazing product into a truly indispensable one.

Scientific Articles. I gave this three stars because it’s very clever. It does do fairly well however it’s terrible when it comes to pronouncing certain things such as Greek letters I think the developers need to go through upload some scientific articles. Listen to it and find issues and fix that. Also, the mind map can have a lot of redundancy so you’re like rereading the same thing over and over. If some of these issues could be fixed, it would definitely be worth something for a small subscription per month that I would pay for. The interact function, which is also in beta testing you have to join every time. If it could be integrated to where the AI would ask you a question and then it give you feedback that would be amazing.

Great Progress — Almost There!. Notebook LM has come a long way on the iPhone since its initial release. The app is smoother, more responsive, and overall much improved. However, there are still a few rough edges to smooth out. For example, audio doesn’t play correctly through my Bluetooth earbuds—though I have noticed better volume levels when using the iPhone’s built-in speaker. One major difference compared to the web version is the lack of the Discover feature. On the web, you can research a topic and instantly get ten curated sources, or even explore random topics—features that make Notebook LM truly unique and powerful. Unfortunately, none of that is currently available on the iPhone. That said, I’m optimistic. Once Google brings feature parity between the iOS app and the web version, this will be a five-star app. I look forward to future updates!

More like 4.5 due to some hiccups on iOS platform. My classmate recommended Google’s NotebookLM, and I’ve been really impressed so far. The app is intuitive and especially helpful when uploading materials from my professors—it even notes what slide or page the content was transcribed from, which is a game-changer for studying. I did notice that the level of detail and functionality feels a bit more robust on the iPad app compared to the web version, which is interesting. However, I ran into one issue: when switching my iPad’s orientation from landscape to portrait, my chat would disappear each time I made the change. That was frustrating. Also, unlike the browser version, the app doesn’t let me navigate back and forth as easily, which can be limiting during study sessions. Overall, though, it’s a fantastic tool that’s helped me solidify my study guides and stay organized for my classes. Highly recommend it to students!

Fixed Audio, but Missing Many Features. I’m so happy they fixed the playback issues for the audio overviews. However, so many of the features from the web version are missing. No mind maps, briefings, study guides, FAQs, or assistance in finding more sources. I do not understand why those features are just not here. I get why they’d focus on the audio aspect, but the rest is SO helpful.

Amazing app. This zap is doing great and fantastic. However there are a couple points. I’m gonna make that I think should be nice for this app point number one, if we’re going to use this app, I hope you can add some features where you can customize the podcast voices so they don’t all sound the same if you decide to post them. Point number two I wish you could have the ability to download podcast on your phone so it would be saved into your files other than that this app is great thank you.

Not the same functionality as desktop version. I love and use NotebookLM desktop version for personal and professional use. Unfortunately, the mobile version does not allow you to deselect some of the sources or customize the audio overview function to focus on specific areas you want to learn. Hopefully Google will make improvements in the future.

So Quiet. The generated audio is so quiet! Even with my iPhone’s volume turned all the way up, it sounds like it’s stuck at less than 50%. I don’t have this issue in any other app. Because of this, I can only listen to the generated audio in an absolutely silent environment or with noise canceling headphones. I love NotebookLM and am excited to update my review to 5 stars once this annoying bug is fixed.

Could be great!. I’m only writing a one star review because the App is not as a great as the websites Audio overview. The Audio is way too low and there is a night and day difference between the Website and the App in terms of loudness. It’s also inconvenient paying for Google one and still not being able to adjust the length of the podcast and what to focus on (which I believe is a free feature). It does take too long to generate and loud podcasts but that’s the same on both the website and the app. It’s something I hope gets better with time. As with what I stated before, that is withholding me from using the app to it’s full potential, so I just use the website.

Love this app!. This app is really awesome and extremely helpful for studying! I always dread reading long complex things especially since I’m in medicine. Now when I read a new study or article I also make a podcast of it! Helps me learn more and keeps it engaging!! I only wish it was more intuitive when it comes to selecting a podcasts from a notebook that has multiple podcasts. That one I can’t seem to figure out on the app. I wish there was a list/gallery view to then select it. This way I wouldn’t have to make a new notebook for each subject especially as I study for my board exams! Can’t wait until that is a staple among its features!! Let me know when it happens!!

This is a great tool as of so far. As a high school student this is personally a great app for what I’ve seen. It’s free. I’ve used it for textbooks to turn into little. Podcast and it’s not just like they’re reading the pages to you. It’s like they make a whole podcast where two people are talking to each other and they slide some funny jokes in there and it helps it stick better.

Missing key features, audio bug. Seems like they rushed the release of the app rather than waiting for a version that was equivalent or better than the web version. There’s no ability to generate mind maps, study guides, timelines, FAQs or briefing docs like you can on the web version. There’s also a bug where the audio from the generated podcast (deep dive) comes out the ear piece instead of the phone speaker. Using an iPhone15 Pro.

Great study tool!! 🙌🏻. I am floored by how real the podcast sounds! The only giveaway was the mispronunciation of a medical word as I am studying for nursing school. It’s a great way to condense information and hear it while you’re driving in the car or walking the dog. It’s a great study tool. I do wish that it wasn’t $20 a month because I will not be paying that. Too expensive. Maybe there will be more connections with colleges and schools in the future. I don’t think mine has it yet. Regardless, I am still very impressed with this app and it’s truly a compliment to how far AI has come!

Amazing app, but…. This app really is good, but I’m generally just speaking about NotebookLM. The ability to get accurate sourced information from 50 sources all at once is great. However, there are a few things that I specifically thought the app itself would have. Firstly, where are the other generative items?!? I downloaded the app so I could use the quiz and flashcard features on my phone for quick reference. Second - LaTeX rendering. For any mathematic subject, there is LaTeX citations (for example, $/mu = x$), but no native rendering on the chat interface.

Still some Bugs, but frankly amazing. They’re still working out some kinks but the potential this has is frankly unbelievable. AI has come such a long way in such a short time. If you’re a student in an intense didactic curriculum, you need to check this out. It can make study guides, turn any textbook chapter into a podcast, or you can ask it specific questions. Really just amazed at the potential of this in every way

Web app is awesome for creating a study space, comparatively this app is just clip notes. Work done via the web app specifically in the studio is not visible in the app. This would not be an issue however there are far less options to tailor audio overviews via the IOS app (I.e. summarizing specific sources). Unless I am completely missing a button or menu option you would need to create entirely new workbooks which leads to binning of information in an app designed to facilitate research from multiple sources in one place. Even a quick option to save my web app media to google drive would be better

Potentially a good research assistant but need a few fixes.. Good app, but need lots of improvements in making the use experience better. Please fix the mobile issue such as freezing , not responsive in comparison to the web app, no mind map view, often rewind and forward operation on the audio gets stuck. At time it is unclear if it has actually referred to all the sources especially after 5+ sources have been added. Love to see if notebooks can be connected.

Missing 1 feature. This is an awesome product but it is missing 1 feature that is available on the web. That feature helps you find sources to add instead of having to upload them all manually. If they add that to the mobile app it will be perfect.

This app has 35% of the web features. The web app has the ability to chat, add sources, look at the summary of the sources, save notes, do study guides, FAQs, and voice and podcasts. Unfortunately, this app you can only upload sources. You can only chat. You can't save your notes. You can only do podcasts (I wish you could save your notes too). But if you just want to click easily just chatting with it. Just chatting with it. That's what the app is only good for. Unless you can just go on the web.

Desktop is much better. while the mobile phone app seems convenient, it lacks feature functionality of the desktop. I found that it doesn’t always work. It struggles to play the actual narrative. I have had better luck building my notebooks on the desktop and generating the content there. Once complete., About 50% of the time I can enjoy the content on my mobile device.

Has potential. I like that you can upload way more documents per notebook than say a ChatGPT thread, but there are definitely some things that could improve. Be able to create and save, within the notebook, multiple podcasts so you can focus on different aspects of the material. Save the chat thread so it can be reviewed later vs having to re-ask questions. Have multiple chat threads so each person accessing the notebook can have their own chat thread and view other threads with the option to set your own thread as private. Also, better formatting for when you request to be quizzed, look to Notability and ChatGPT.

Essential for college. With the boom of technology it’s hard to find a happy medium between diligent study or cheating. Notebooks provides that medium by promoting learning with ease by the use of AI. My technique: 1st: audio or video review (listen when convenient). 2nd: Then the day before a test, I have LM write a study guide and I physically copy that to my word document. Word by word. It takes less than an hour to completely digest.

Would be amazing if it worked consistently. 9 times out of 10 it won’t ever load and play the podcasts that it generates. If the system functioned as it is intended to it would be great and the couple of PDFs that I was able to get it to generate a podcast for turned out well. Much better than reading the 30 pages. But like I said most of the time it spends hours generating the podcast from the PDF and then after it’s done it will never load the podcast for you to listen to. It just spins forever and eventually you get a message that couldn’t load. And I’m on WiFi so it’s not a bandwidth issue.

When it works, it’s amazing. When the program works, the podcast audio overview is fantastic. It makes studying for my masters program much easier. My issue is that there are days, where the audio overview does not generate anything. I’ll try to restart it, and it won’t work. I’ll delete the files and re-upload them, and they won’t work still. Some days it just has a personality of its own.

Language Issues. Hi, I’ve been using this app for about 2 weeks and I can already tell how good and helpful it is, but There’s something that have been bothering me, is that It’s only in English. Every documents I have are in French and I would have liked it that it would remain in French but they translated it. Can you do something about that, add other languages, it would be better.

Amazing Product Brought Down By A Terrible iPad App. Google, we need to talk. First, your app needs to stop using my microphone at all times. It means that I cannot open it up with out my entire workflow being interrupted. Second, the ipad app needs to be more like your web app. I should be able to save stuff in studio the same way as on the website. Third, why is Google drive not intergrated. One of the best things about LM is being able to place docs in. This app was clearly rushed out and it needs to be fixed. I will update my review once these issues are done with

It is Awesome. This app is truly awesome. When I first heard about it, I set the notification when it is first available. Today, I finally got to try it out and I’ve experimented with a few documents to see if the podcast voice overview works. And yes, It works incredibly well. The only issue I’ve encountered so far is that the interactive feature, which is still in its beta phase, doesn’t seem to be working properly. When I click on it, it just appears on the screen and does not do anything. Other than that, I’m impressed with the concept and its potential, especially as a student. I’m hopeful that the developer team will work on fixing this issue. I’m eagerly looking forward to future updates.

Amazing idea, mediocre execution. The app is honestly pretty good all things considered. I love how easy it is to upload multiple sources and create a podcast that helps me learn the content through a more interactive listening experience than just TTS software. I just wish it didn’t cause CarPlay to crash since that’s when I listen to it the most. I find it’s better to download the wave file and play it in a different app. This is a game changing app though for learning.

One of the best uses of AI. Incredible app. Truly one of the most useful AI’s out there. What makes this special is you get to submit your own sources for reference and the best part- INLINE CITATIONS. Would like to see more use of web reference as an option in addition to personal sources with inline citations aswell. Some sort of toggle or bar to adjust how much outside sources to use could be helpful. Great app! I also like how you can import sources from anywhere at any point. Some more tutorials from google would be nice to to know how to maximize the use of app.

Great to have the app…but. Love this app however I feel disappointed and let down that it lacks some key functionality and doesn’t mirror the web app. I only have this 4 stars for this reason but believe a 4.5 would have been better and the web app is 5! Keep shipping the improvements and enhancements dev team!

Phenomenal App, Buggy Mobile Client. The core application is fantastic, but the mobile application is presently very feature limited compared to the web client. For instance, one cannot presently watch video summaries within the app. The app is also bugged and frequently fails to load audio summaries, raising non-responsive audio controls. I use the web application daily and would highly value stable mobile control.

Great App but who on this team ported it???. I love notebookLM, the web app is phenomenal and the custom silicon makes that all possible. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the web app so I can queue up content for commute. You can’t change the notebook names, you can’t curate the actual podcast for focuses??? The first point here begs the question, who QA’d this thing. The second point, this is such a necessary feature and so utilized in the web app and you cut it???! Was it that hard to have that extra form box for user insertion to curate the podcast. This is such a great product but fire the product manager sitting on top of this thing, my god. Sundar, your company sits on such great IP but the execution….

Great…when it works. When this app is actually working, 5 stars absolutely fantastic. But more often than not, it won’t load the audio file. I’ve tried changing the source type, from pdf to text I’ve copied. I’ve tried closing the app and reopening. It will often show that it’s loading, go to the play screen. But show no audio loaded. Most often without an error message. Sometimes it will say couldn’t load content, or something similar. The only thing that fixes it is restarting my phone. Which isn’t something I want to each time I want to listen to my study guide podcast. If yall could fix whatever this issue is, I would give 10 stars if I could.

Better for on the go. I really enjoy notebook lm on desktop more than iPhone. I utilize the mind map a lot and I assume because of how much information there can be, you can’t get that on mobile which is fine. It does make it easier to listen to the podcast because I used to have to download it or open it through chrome on my phone. Now I can just go on the app and listen. Not as many tools on the mobile version, but it’s good if you want to listen to the podcast in your commute or on the go. You still have the chat to ask questions and you can upload resources on mobile too. Not bad, but for long study sessions I would probably use my laptop desktop version. On the go or if I need to look at something real quick I’d use the mobile app.

⚠️ Dangerous Volume Bug - Protect Your Ears. On iPhone 16 Plus running iOS 18.6.2, I played a new notebook in Studio Mode. The voice output was so loud it blasted past my set limit (85 dB in Headphone Safety) and literally made me rip my AirPods Pro (model A3047) out of my ears. This has never happened with these devices or any other app. I know how to adjust volume; this is not user error. Somehow the app bypassed iOS’s built-in protections and delivered unsafe sound levels. Developers need to fix this immediately before more users are harmed. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Trash Bin for NotebookLM. I accidentally deleted one of my notebooks that I loved deeply, and there’s currently no way to restore it. Please add a Trash Bin or Restore/Delete confirmation system so users can recover notebooks if they delete them by accident. This would prevent a lot of lost work and frustration, especially for creative projects like mine. Thank you for considering this important addition!

They should really know. To the developers: it’s a 5 star concept but for reasons unknown to me it’s left on the user’s to explore the boundaries of the potential. I have uncovered many amazing features that I assume aren’t documented or discovered. I have enjoyed exploring the boundaries of the MoE architecture and how to influence routing tokens to multiple experts including experts that NbLM doesn’t induce. I don’t want to go throwing wrenches into the gears so I have been researching the boundaries and how to push through them. I have enjoyed many models and platforms but NbLM has consistently regained my attention. Where can a person get in contact with the people who can determine if/what can be released. I can easily invoke outside sources. I am routing tokens in fascinating ways but I don’t want to negatively impact the product/platform by releasing techniques that fundamentally circumvent the routing mechanism.

Needs a lot improvement. The app takes ages to play a voice clip, the app doesn’t show the customization that can be done in browser. Still good, I like but hope the team quickly fixes these issues

Saves time and great information. NotebookLM saves a great deal of time pulling raw content into your notebook system and then pulling relevant date quickly and providing it. For many topics, where you just need the elements of the raw data presented in a few different ways it makes all the difference.

Really good but too quiet. I love this app. I love the AI podcasts and they’re very helpful. As of now, there is an issue that I have to turn my phone volume to the max to just barely hear the AI podcasts. My phone is only a little over a year old has clear speakers and I don’t have any known hearing problems. It worked fine on the website so idk what’s going on. As long as I’m not going crazy I hope this gets fixed soon.

Audio Load Issue. it takes more than 10-20 seconds as suggested to load the audio (already generated using web app), and most of the time would result in an ‘unable to load audio’ error. in addition when the audio is playing you won’t be able to interact with the knowledge base. that seemed like a bizarre design decision to me

DOWNLOAD IT IMMEDIATELY. Honestly this app is life changing! The mind map and the podcast is my most used features and genuinely transformed how I study. They just added a video feature and I’m excited to try it as well. The podcast is perfect for drives, workouts or even multitasking while doing chores. Beautiful use of technology and best thing for education imo!

Great start. I love to have Notebook LM as an app on my phone. Quicker access and nicer UI than the web version. One downside I found was that it always activated the mic when I listen to the generated audio. I works fine but my headphones have lower sound quality when the mic is on. It would be nice if the mic was not turned on.

Great for those who prefer listening rather than reading.. I love the podcast feature! It turns 30+ page journal articles into a 20 minute engaging podcasts. I love that when you ask questions it bolds what is directly from the article. It’s accurate.

Better. Better than ChatGPT

🤯. This is the most amazing thing ever

Buggy. I’ve just started using it and very obvious bugs abound. For example the first notebook I created I pasted a link to a public Facebook video and it said it couldn’t load it. Then after that I tried to add another source and the error was that it reached the limit of zero sources. I had to delete the whole notebook of zero sources because it won’t let me add anymore. Lots of other UI issues with the keyboard blocking the Generate button. Generated audio doesn’t play anything, just showing a flat line. Can’t accept pdf eventhough it’s supposed to. Then I upgraded to Pro to seem if things got better. No, it got way worse. The app killed itself and now I cannot even load it. Slow clap….

Audio bad, no discover sources option. I love this service, but I’m still using it in the chrome browser. As the audio volume is bad in the app and there is no discover sources feature in the app.

The audio volume is very low when using speaker mode. It's very obvious that when playing on the phone without headphones, the sound is very low.

Buggy and not responsive. I used it on my laptop without issues. On holidays I use my phone and tablet. This is where it is not performing well. It keeps failing to create the audio file. Or it generates it but won’t play it back.

UI is broken on 16 Pro. I like notebooklm but I’m pretty sure the UI is broken in this release making it unusable.

Intuitive. A solid advancement in the AI boom—definitely something I can see being applied in the workplace.

Awesome Learning Tool. Tip: make good use of notes, then convert all notes to source.

I usually don’t write reviews.. But this is a fantastic app and it deserves one. It’s exactly what I needed. Well done, bravo.

Podcast needs to allow us to customise. All good but podcast needs to allow us to dictate which topics to focus on and alter the length.

Buggy for now. Can’t load audio overviews on the app. Stuck on loading. Loads fine on the website.

Disappointing. It worked on a couple of small projects then stopped. This is after I’ve paid for it. What gives?

Crashes. As soon as I subscribed it now doesn’t open…. Classic bull$&@t

Awful audio compatibility and lacks features from web. Whilst the tool itself is fine, it lacks all the note features like generating study guides on the web, and when opening an audio overview EVEN JUST in normal mode, it activates your device’s microphone - which causes it to go into phone call mode, only coming out of the earpiece and putting headsets into their low quality headphone modes

This is HUGE!. Simply using this to summarise YouTube videos is amazing. It allows me to summarise a video in minutes and saves me hours of time.

Brilliant app. Really finding multi layered help x

Great!. Since it just released, I think this is pretty good, you can make content for websites, an ai thmakes content for you and that, even though for YT! Greatest hits my life!

Great app but podcast/voiceover feature is way too quite. This seem like a bug and it should be fixed. Apart from that it’s a 5/5.

Excellent but not as good as the web app. The inability to provide prompts for text responses is annoying. Likewise, it would be good to be able to select which sources are used within a notebook. These are both possible on the web app but not the phone app. Don’t sacrifice the text aspect for the podcast gimmicks please.

Best Ai NoteBook. Use it to generate audio file for complex topics

手机端比网页端差了不止一点. 为什么一个这么优秀的app，手机端的设计和功能会比网页版差那么多？最需要的mindmap功能手机是没有的，只能导入内容上网页查看，能不能改进一下呢？

My favourite. As a health science student, every single day, I find something that notebookLM does that makes me look at it like 😍 you can upload lectures into it and it transcribes it, you can customise audio overviews to make more jokes. My favourite study tool.

Amazing tool. Bad app. Just make a web app or something. This iOS app just seems like a waste. Can you just port it over as a PWA please or keep in the features.

Imagine you at your best. All the time. Picture yourself at your sharpest and most productive. Your most alert and focused. Your most lucid, creative and confident. At work. At play. In every area of your life. Add Mind Lab Pro® v4.0 to your daily routine and uncap your true potential. Buy Now!

Incroyable. Ça nous permet d’apprendre tellement plus vite !

Wow it’s awesome!. I love it! It is spectacular!!!

pointless. what's the point of having an app if it doesn't have most of the features of the web version?

Just what’ve I been looking for. The current update is such a useful study aid really helps put everything together, if added a good video generation tool would definitely take this out of world, full house of content tailored to what you feed it, honestly impressive 👍 the free to use doesn’t even have to be talked about this tool needs more exposure good for learning anything

Amazing but needs work. The overall app and concept is amazing. But definitely far from being perfect. I personally recommend better sorting functions, where notebooks can be shorted into folders. And a description function so we can see details of each notebook on the main page. Also a sorting function for sorting orders such as (A=>Z) or (Z=>A) and recents (old=>recent) and (recents=>old) Similar to Google drive sorting. Also a total count at the top. With the number of notebooks/folders at the top. I’d love these features both on computer and phones.

Suggestion for improvement. It'd be great if you could add more playback speed options between 1.0 and 1.5 in the next versions.

Great. Great

give us more audio gen credits per day. give is more gen credits for the pro subscription

Cool but Bad. Cool idea. Bad execution. This app is seriously slow. Whoever designed it doesn’t know how to handle network requests very well..

Needs subtitles. Love this app for studying but would love to have subtitles on the generated podcast.

Wish you could make flash cards like on the web version. It would be good to add the flash card feature to the app too for convenience of trying to study when you aren’t at home on your computer

Good app overall. The app itself is really good but I found that some of the features were very buggy. For instance the audio overview was not playing and it said it couldn’t load, when I tried the same thing on my laptop it worked fine. Pls fix

Application d’exception. Voici une application qui permet de générer par intelligence artificielle des rapports audio, vidéo ou documentaire de haute qualité. Je suis vraiment impressionné par la qualité du rendu.

Intuitive interface with great features. Takes LLm beyond text

Really good surprisingly. Really smart idea. Please keep it free I’m a very broke student

Google has provided the step-change. Simply the best toolset, and NotebookLM shined

Best Tool for focused Research. One of the best tools to use for focused research and studying. Well organized and thoughtful when it comes to organizing and learning information.

Horrendous audio quality on Bluetooth. Using this app with bluetooth headphones (regardless of device; I tried both my iPhone and iPad) produces awful audio quality that make the generated podcasts unlistenable. You’re better off just using your web browser, which works just as fine and doesn’t deplete the audio quality

KEEP THIS FREE 🙏🏼🙏🏼. The best freaking app. Studying had been so much fun. The questions, the flashcards, the podcasts and the videos are on point. LOVE IT. I’m a broke student, so please keep this free, I’M BEGGING.

Thank you for inventing this app. Thank you

Audio player is not good. When you come out of the app the audio stops playing

Amazing. No words

Süper. Hayatımda deneyimlediğim en tatlı şeylerden birisi

Single source of research. I trust NotebookLM for my deep research in any topic where I know my data. Amazing option to leverage multiple sources of information like pdf, website, Youtube etc. Best is audio summary aka Podcast. Highly customizable and quite productive to prepare analysis and reports. Only request to make App as good as Desktop version!!

Parfait. Le seul problème que j’aie c’est que les podcasts ne soient pas en français

Yes. It’s crazy. I don’t see any need to go to university anymore

A gold star. I’ve used the desktop version forever and just discovered the app. This is a phenomenal tool because someone dared to try to make what is arguably the greatest iconic desktop interface into an iPhone app. It’s a huge leap forward and here’s a congratulations on this success.

Wow. Franchement, j’adore cette application, je l’utilise pour l’école et c’est juste géniale. Vous avez juste a envoyer vos sources donc document, site internet, vidéo YouTube, ou même une photo et cela vous crée un popcast en quelque minutes, c’est fait par de l’iA mais ça ne se voit même pas, les voix sont super réaliste. Maintenant on a la possibilité de faire des flash cards et des quiz, rien à voir avec Quizlet! Vous ne vous cassez pas la tête à tout ecrire et a inventer des questions: NotebookLM le fait pour vous! N’est-ce pas fantastique? C’est super pour reviser dans le bus! Malgré tout, il y a quelque petit truc que j’aurais aimé avoir donc je vous ai fait la liste des améliorations que vous pouvez ajuster: 1. Création de Dossier: Comme je l’ai dit, je l’utilise pour l’école donc je crois que ça serais plus facile de se retrouver si on pouvais faire des dossiers, comme pour Histoire, Science, Philosophie, etc. 2. Je n’ai pas de 2! Voilà donc j’adore cette application, elle est merveilleuse!

Student lifesaver. Please keep this free holy life saver

The best App. The best app

Extremely helpful. Very helpful in reviewing large amounts of scientific literature. Allows multiple formats for learning, including the incredibly useful audio podcasts, flash cards and quizzes. Occasional errors but overall does remarkably well.

Favourite new study app. I honestly love this app so much is so helpful with studying while you’re on the go and having such a busy schedule as a student this is really helpful

SURPRISINGLY GOOD !!!. I ended up trying this app randomly by trying the students trial of Google Gemini AI and what a nice surprise. It's actually good and it does great stuff within a few minutes. It's different from all the AI's I've been using so far because I'm also a big user of ChatGPT pro but this one is very unique and when you're a kind of auditive memory person, this helps a lot and it makes me gain a lot of time. It feels like listening to a YouTube video or something that explains my subject, the concepts that I'm studying. Also, the good thing about it is that you can import any kind of documents on it and it's gonna turn it into a kind of podcast and even the people that talk, I mean the AI voices are very human compared to other apps, I feel like the way they talk is very natural and almost human-like, that is so great, it makes it very nice. It makes it a great experience. Also, I like the fact that you have a lot of options, that you can make the audio longer or shorter, before the podcast making you can write what you're looking for specifically in the audio and you can use many sources at the same time. It also makes flashcards and quizzes. Which is very nice. I hope they're going to extend the possibilities and make this app greater than it already is. I am definitely going to keep using it and it's gonna help me a lot for my studies. I wish I discovered it earlier, thank you very much. They're probably gonna make me pay Gemini to use it, but I'm fine with it. It's worth it.

Glitchy. Useful but not reliable

The best one I ever found. This app is soo good it makes podcasts for my work and I understand it completely better than my teacher

A step forward for broke students. Tysm this is helping me succeed 🥹

A promising idea, that still feels half baked!. Google’s NotebookLM has potential, but right now it’s just OK! The concept is solid—it’s noticeably slow to generate responses and I’ve had it crash more times than i can count. That kind of reliability really breaks the flow when you’re deep in research and working on something thoughtful. It’s a bit of a bummer especially since competitors like ElevanReader are delivering a much smoother and more refined experience. Google has the infrastructure and talent to lead in this space, but at the moment notebookLM is trailing behind. Would love to see it stabilizes, sped up, and more thoughtful integration into Google ecosystem, Right now, it feels like Beta that forgot it was launched.

Amazing so far, just…. Can you please let me delete/remove a public Notebook from my homepage. I clicked on it just to see an example, but I don’t actually want to see it.

Love this app,. It made my schooling so easy.

Creativity galore!. I am coming up with all sorts of new ways to use this to teach employees and customers.

Awesome. It’s awesome

Synched flashcards. There is no flashcard generative on the app mobile,

Unpolished. NotebookLM is an interesting idea, but the app feels very vague and limited compared to the desktop version. There aren’t many features available here, and some of the ones that do exist don’t work smoothly. The audio tool is laggy and feels unpolished, podcasts often fail to download properly, and there’s no option for video at all. It has potential, but right now the mobile experience feels incomplete.

Just use in-browser. The app is way too limited. If you’re on iPad it’s better to just open it up in a browser.

It’s better than i thought. There are no ads and it makes nice voices and it is pretty quick

Great when works. Podcasts are awesome but it is way too glitchy

Changed my university life. Use this with GEMINI for your studies, it will help cut study time half!

.. Can’t write notes in the app.

Mind blowing. Google made something people will need . Bravo

Wonderful app. If ur a student this app is so fire
