## Description

**Legacy App – Genio Notes** is a productivity and learning app designed to help students capture, refine, and apply information from class. Record lectures, add timestamped handwritten or typed notes, import slides, transcribe audio, and revisit key moments to build more effective study materials.

The app works alongside the Genio Notes web app, allowing users to sync notes across devices, track tasks, organise information into collections, and download notes for review anywhere. An account and Genio Notes web app signup are required. This is a legacy version; users are encouraged to download the newer Genio Notes app from the App Store.

## Review summary

Genio Notes shows promise with an integrated recording/notes workflow and a clean UI, plus some positive notes about scribble and the web/desktop experience. However, many reviews report stability problems (crashes/freezes), unreliable recording/save behavior, and mobile-feature gaps compared with the web version. Scribble issues and playback troubles are also common, contributing to an inconsistent mobile experience. Overall, users see potential but feel the mobile app is unreliable and lacking essential features.

### Pros

- Clean, easy-to-use interface on the app.
- Core recording with notes, audio, and slides is available as part of the workflow.
- Scribble feature has potential and is mentioned positively by some users.
- Web/desktop version is familiar and works well for long-time users as a reference point.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezing on iPhone/iPad, sometimes rendering the app unusable.
- Recording audio fails or isn’t saved, leading to data loss and requiring workarounds.
- Mobile feature parity with the web is poor: missing editing/exporting, limited transcript features, and no macOS app.
- Scribble feature often doesn’t work or can’t post notes to recordings.
- Playback/opening issues: difficulty playing recordings, staying open, or listening while using other apps
