    App Store 4.8★​ — loved: free tier works, Watch recording, Anki export, audio summary, clean native UX
    Product Hunt 5.0★ (18 votes)​ — launch praise for GPT-5 + export + Apple integration
    Common complaints No Android native, free 60-min/mo cap, transcription accuracy on poor audio/accents, no team/LMS features, no API, image/diagram parsing weak
    Aggregate Best free-ish Apple-native lecture note-taker for students; wrong for Android classrooms, diagram-heavy STEM, or edu IT wanting LTI/roster
