★★★★ Dude What 4/30/2026 v3.16.0
Gives me a warning my device may be rooted/jail broken. My device isn't rooted or jail broken. Uninstalled. Before devs tell me I could email them to report this: That's a you problem maybe design your app so it knows the difference between an actual rooted / jail broken device from ones that aren't.
★★★★ Alex Ruimy 4/22/2026 v3.15.1
guys. your app is 100% white. it's like looking at a lightbulb. please add dark mode, really odd omission. edit: two days later changing to one star and returning the pin. on its own it started recording overnight in 5 hour chunks until it ran out of battery and now I can't use it the next day. this bug is over a year old. absolutely unacceptable, I am returning this trash. $300 a year and it does THIS??? shame on you, plaud.

★★★★ Sirius D 4/15/2026 v3.15.0
Not sure what's happening over there in Plaud land, but whatever new upgrades they've installed, nothing is working properly, not even my Notepin. It's a shame because this was such a great offer and product in the beginning, and now the regression is horrible. The old saying “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” really rings true in this situation. Smh.
★★★★ Shah Hou 4/10/2026 v3.14.0
this instrument is not useful at all. no way that you can use it and have privacy of your documents.
★★★★ Real Talk 3/26/2026 v3.13.2
The app keeps closing because it has a bug. The message says wait for the developer to create an update. I don't have time to wait. It should work out of the box.
★★★★ Chad 3/17/2026 v3.12.0
the hardware is good, but the company falsely advertises its Plaud AI abilities. The "Ask Across All Files" feature aka Global Plaud search feature is not capable of searching across all of your files to answer questions and find content in an agentic AI manner. It basically can only function to find key words throughout your files...a far cry from the marketing claims on their website. If this feature is not fixed to work according to their claims, I will quickly cancel my premium subscription
★★★★★ marshall siegel 4/9/2026 v3.14.0
Changing my rating. Used to love it. now it's frustrating and buggy. Can't count on it to work when I need it.
