Notebook AI - Podcasty

All it did was download, ask me to pay to use it. I declined it was $60 for 1 year. Then it prompted me to a 50% offer. So I said dang that’s a good deal (It is, if your buying something that is actually worth $60 to begin with), so there I go and of course I buy it. Dumbest move I have ever made. So I was like well if it does what it says it does then that’s a sweet deal. After paying it directed me to the Home Screen. Consisting of like 5 buttons that are for different ways to submit your prompt such as text, pdf, a PowerPoint etc. That’s is it. You can “submit” the prompt but nothing ever gets created. And if something does it is just a 15 sec preview of the “locked” version which I assume is what I paid for. That is all the app does, you can uninstall it and reinstall it. You will end up, exactly at the top of this review. It will take you through the whole process again even the so called “one time 50% off offer” after you decline the first one. I want my money back but I see no customer service section in the app.

I came to find this app after enjoying the website since it is the same name (Notebooklm) but it is not the same. There isn’t even a way to connect your gmail account as I wanted to continue listening the same podcasts as the website on my phone. The podcast quality is also lower sounding more monotoned compared to the website and you can’t add multiple sources either. I wasn’t able to hear the podcasts until I had paid and I would want a refund.

Wanted to trial the app for a month, but accidentally signed up for a year-long subscription. I would like to change it monthly, but there is no contact info for the developer.
