  1. [R4] Coconote 1/5 · US Math missprint: Whenever it transcribes math, it won’t use the symbols for like calculus like integration symbols, and it won’t put like a fraction one above the other vertically it is prints out very weird
  2. [R5] Coconote 5/5 · US Love this app!: I love using this app for any meetings, classes, or interactions that I may need to review later. Excellent translations and the summaries are really helpful!
  3. [R7] Coconote 5/5 · US Beyond thankful: I downloaded Coconote to take notes when visiting my husband’s oncologist. He has stage four cancer and I’m not able to remember everything. The doctor says this has been so helpful for me to go back and look and see the progress or if I’m missing something. I’m so thankful for this app.
  4. [R12] Coconote 1/5 · US Alternatives are better: This app is not fleshed out. Alternatives do a much better job of transcribing and summarizing. It’s also way too expensive, especially for a not polished product. You won’t get a refund either. The AI seems to have a hard time distinguishing between speakers a lot. Even when one is a man and one is a woman so clearly different voices.
  5. [R15] Coconote 5/5 · US Life-saver: This app made my life as a teacher so much easier! All I had to do was speak into my phone and it took the notes down for me, instead of me having to completely stop what I’m doing to write it all down.
  6. [R22] Coconote 5/5 · US Great App: Great App, with there was a way to mass delete notes though so you don’t have to delete one at a time but other than that awesome learning tool!
  7. [R26] Coconote 4/5 · US Coconote review: Well great concept. Love the setup and the folders but on all of the adds I saw there were many cool games but on the app there is one game that is not the same as the adds. But otherwise, love it, would definitely recommend.
  8. [R45] Coconote 5/5 · US Not bad but not Amazing: For me loading takes a while i was expecting this to be free but not really not many things were available as a free to play player
  9. [R6] Coconote 1/5 · US excelente app: muy efectiva
  10. [R16] Coconote 1/5 · US Keep loosing my notes/recordings: This is the second time that this app has lost my notes/recordings. Also, they don’t send reminders that your subscription will be renewed on such date or send notification that your subscription had been automatically renewed. For the amount of money that I spent for this app it’s very frustrating especially when you need those notes!!
  11. [R18] Coconote 2/5 · US Started experiencing many errors: The app worked perfectly in the past but now i have many mishaps where i lose my recordings. It's terrible when you're relying on its ability to record meetings.
  12. [R23] Coconote 5/5 · US Terrible: There say ERROR, it doesn’t work today 🤦‍♀️ and I made my notes there 😭 everything was deleted
  13. [R1] Coconote 1/5 · US Barely can use free: Amazing app but you can barely use it for free. I mean I took maybe two notes with Coconote and after that it stopped working and it started forcing me to pay so amazing app if you want to put down some money and it is really a good app it really did help me and it made me really well just the fact that you can never use it if you don’t wanna pay it’s kind of sad
  14. [R3] Coconote 3/5 · US Good but not totally free: ok so i am looking for some apps to study for my exams and this one is good i like it so much it’s better than others but it has that problem that if your in trial you can’t study more it has like a limit and you have to obligatorily pay for the anual planner and that’s kinda annoying, because normally my exams are like last minute and i download the app and it doesn’t l
  15. [R8] Coconote 1/5 · US Terrible service.: I paid in full for year subscription - I cancelled my subscription because I didn’t want to forget to cancel in the future. It claims my account will remain active until Dec. 12 but conveniently it doesn’t recognize me and customer service will not respond to my email.
  16. [R10] Coconote 1/5 · US Predatory subscription process: I accidentally signed up for a yearly subscription because the pricing wasn’t clearly presented. I genuinely thought I was selecting a monthly plan. After realizing the mistake when I was charged over $100, I reached out to request a refund but my request was denied, twice. This was frustrating, especially since it felt like an easy misunderstanding that could happe
  17. [R14] Coconote 1/5 · US Unnecessary charge: They charged me $130 for the yearly subscription when I only signed up for a free trial. This is genuinely a freaking scam because why didn’t they notify me when it was ending. It’s a money grab and the refund policy is so ridiculous like bruh. Having to write a whole damn essay for a refund and they don’t give me anything back. I want my money back now
  18. [R44] Coconote 5/5 · US Love this app: Been using it for some time now and it is so helpful in my business and love the support from the developer. Very responsive. Keep up the good work. Worth the money.
  19. [R20] Coconote 5/5 · US Review 2026: The best app ever currently in 2026. Definitely recommend. Although I wonder how many times I can use it free until I have to start paying.
  20. [R13] Coconote 5/5 · US Amazing Notetaker: As a Strategist Agency we need as detailed information as possible. This is a business tool you must have, I’ve used several note takers but this one is leading the way. Love the detailed summary and visuals with mind maps of the things I need to do. Love it!!!
