Mem – Your AI Thought Partner

Happy to change this to a five-star review if this gets fixed. I’m a paid user on the Pro plan. I had switched from Granola which is able to record long meetings. Mem seemed better because all my personal notes and meeting notes can live together. I joined an important industry webinar that was four hours long. I left my computer because I knew Mem was taking notes, and it was really the summary I needed, but when I can came back I was surprised to learn Mem has a two hour limit on the paid plan. Why? Very disappointed, I needed that info and relied on Mem when I should have used Granola. I’ll also sometimes ask the app to make a change to a note (that is clearly selected and named in the chat) and it makes changes to the previous note I was working on. The typing in the iOS app also feels slightly delayed, not as fast as Google Keep or iOS notes or Granola. There are other small bugs I’d like to see fixed and features I’d like to see added (e.g., better task management capabilities), but I know those things will take time. Currently, the two hour limit recording time was a big disappointment, especially because I had relied on Mem. I’m rooting for Mem. There needs to be something like this on the marketplace. Mem just needs to get the meeting call length and features quality better, something closer to Granola. Happy to change this to a 5-star review if the recording length gets fixed.

This is such an amazing app. I work in IT and juggle a lot of different information. Something I’ve struggled with is keeping up with notes and organizing things I learn. When time comes to find something I did or the answer to something I’ve worked on before I struggle. Not anymore this is an amazing app and I couldn’t be more excited. I’d gladly pay for double the price because that is how valuable this is. This really has boosted my productivity working on Mac and iOS. Reward yourself and watch the tutorial and try it out.

This app has amazing potential, but for my use case doesn’t work well because it isn’t actually voice activated/hands free. When I am driving home from work I want to be able to create notes for all the meetings I had that day, but in order to do that it requires numerous taps that I can’t do while driving: open the app, tap create note, then locate the teeny tiny microphone icon at the bottom of the screen to tap and THEN begin true hands-free use. I can’t find any information on creating a Siri shortcut that would allow me to say “Create a new note in Mem” that would be truly voice activated and hands free. Without this integration/option the app is of limited value, but has amazing potential. I also find it quite frustrating that their blog post from Sept. 2024 actually shows the mobile app with a giant microphone icon on the screen and says “Voice Activated”, but this seems to simply be a mock-up and not how the real app looks or works. Feels like false advertising. Update after using for a few days: there is no way to export notes as PDF to another app and the app is very glitchy in terms of syncing across devices so you can’t count on being able to retrieve notes elsewhere.
