Issues
It will not uploaded my material.
Repeatedly asking to review
I reviewed it. Stop asking
Не работает
Что бы я не делал, ответ один - не удалось создать блокнот. IpadOS 26,3
It deletes your creations automatically
I made a podcast this morning that I didn’t get to finish listening to and when I made my coffee and went to finish listening to it it was gone
Incomplete
(I’m going to keep giving this app 1 star until it stops asking me to review it again and again every single time I open it.) It doesn’t matter how many times I rate this app, it keeps asking me to do it again. It’s annoying. The app doesn’t have parity with the webpage. Trying to manage sources is a pain. It doesn’t show the labeled categories, to remove a source you have to enter the delete mode time and again and do it one by one.
Good to listen to generated podcasts, but insufficient for work.

Interruptions
When an app interrupts my use of the app by asking for an evaluation, I will always rate it low
Annoying
Stop asking for reviews after every click
Glitchy lately
It keeps asking me to write a review despite my having done so already
Performance is way too inconsistent
Idea is great and it has long-term potential. But it has the same lousy issues most AI has. Fabricates information. Gets details wrong. Becomes lazy with it's research, getting comfortable repeatedly referencing a small handful of citations. Lately new notebooks can't even use more than a single source for notebook descriptions or studio results.
Hallucinates a lot
Mostly in deep dives
Pushy
I would have gave it a better score but when you keep pushing me to leave a review it’s rude like you care more about your review then you do it about the customer
