Wave AI Note Taker & Recorder

easy to use and quick results

good

its well

Fast support and a good app has helped me during uni, the fast paced lectures can be tricky to tackle I bought both plans and support was quick and helpful thank you Josh!

it's not easy to use

Doesn't record automatically, since this is not pure call app, I use your daily call app, and have to manually record outgoing and incoming calls by merging two calls, since u have to press a record call button that's gonna call you, and u merge. App lags a bit while working with her.

SPYWARE requires your account, UNINSTALLING NOW . . . have to get their clouds permission to access your own content on your device SOOO EVIL

Has gotten less accurate with time. Originally it was spot on and I could rely on it's accuracy but that has changed. I can no longer trust it to accurately interpret what I'm saying and now must review everything and go back and correct it's errors which costs me a lot of time. Probably won't be renewing my subscription.

costs money

Works great for transcribing text, but I am forced to uninstall and install to record each project. Also, their recent update has overcomplicated the editing option.

works well but editing is repeating as the app drops. this is expensive, $6 week or $100 year. other apps have no charge.

$100/year

Solve my learning difficulties including language barrier, accent understanding,and points neglecting. It's really good 👍.

I was truly enjoying this app. It had been a lifesaver both personal and professionally. I purchased the Pro so I could have "unlimited" recordings greater than the standard 4 hrs on the desktop. However, I've noticed my recordings are being cut off after 4 hrs even though I'm using the desktop version on my laptop. What am I paying $99 annually for now? The recording shouldn't stop and ask me if I want to continue after 4 hours. For work purposes, I need to pay attention in meetings.

awful app any app that wants to connect to nearby devices every time I turn it on is it awful app and I will never use that and secondly to verify the app with your phone number they give you a number and then the app calls you and then you lose the number so you can't enter it it's so ridiculous

So far works as it should with my Galaxy 8

It's Perfect for what I need it to do!!!

Great App Does the transcript work well and many other functions too.

im looking for an app that automatically records my phone calls BOTH sides . this app came up in search. however , it requires for you to loginto it and make call from it. what about my incoming calls ? I need everything to be automatic. canceling for that reason .

perfect for note taking. a little expensive

this app is so wonderful

im so exciting ... very good app... I love it!!!

Love this app!

Frustratingly, having already made a one off payment to use this app, without warning, it now insists on an expensive weekly or monthly subscription! I have messaged the company but disappointingly have not received a reply.

Useful to capture audio recordings in 1 app.

free with no adds apart from the premium subscription ad but otherwise the free AI is good and works on any wear os supported watchs

too expensive

Be aware that you may be rate limited even when you buy the Pro plan. Twice, after transcribing just a few audio files (less than 10), I was unable to transcribe any more. This is far, far from the promise of "unlimited recording and transcription".

constant paid upgrade popups but you can click through them

Do the trial first, transcriptions were awful for me, unuseable

It works perfectly. The only reason for a 4-star review is the lack of a Widget to make opening the app simpler and quicker. Please add a widget!

during install was looking like a proper free trial - then right at the end wanted an extraordinarily high ' free ' sign up with Card. Immediately uninstalled.

I tried to do verity voice changer but I just got a bad one I installed it I hope it will not appear ever again in my face

The developer of this app is awesome! I was pushing for a Wear OS app after having it on my Apple Watch, and now it's out. The developer of this app is incredible. It's a game changer for small business owners, and now being able to access it on Wear OS makes recording my meetings so much easier and more discreet. Thank you, and look forward to seeing what new updates are coming next! ig drwspx

Brilliant accuracy and integrates into most virtual meeting apps. Way too many features to mention and fantastic value for money

I LOVE this app. I use it for meetings, parent conferences, and workshops. It's been a life saver.

Can't login

shame, looks good, however attempts to sign in result in a 'why did you cancel the sign in'

It does a great job describing a photo that I took but having no easy access to this photo or a way of labeling photos afterwards is a real problem. The other concern is, where are the photos? I look at this as a security risk if I'm taking a photo of a client's work environment.

Amazing and comprehensive summary organized way beyond simple notes Has great interpretation and details information in very revealing ways. options for transcription and summary and audio with bullet points action items

tested Wave using sport commentary review discussion. Very accurate and clear. I'm impressed.

Just trying this application.

using at meetings and in briefings. excellent work. Best buy.

Gracias , no quiero perderme ningún partido.

Not useful if it can't record incoming calls

Great so far

I used to think this was a great app until I just recorded a meeting and when I went to stop the recording it had stopped on its own and didn't record a single second. That's a meeting I can't get back, thanks programmers. I'm so glad I paid for a full year subscription for this.

THE MOST ACCURATE AI APP I NEVER MET SO FAR!

microphone not recording.

I looked this app up on Google and downloaded it and then deleted it and now I've been charged $7.57 and I don't understand that.

I absolutely love this app. I use it every day. I started with iPhone and then I transitioned over to an S26 Ultra. I am hoping that they bring a Wear OS version out, as I loved using it with my Apple Watch.

Too expensive, no denying it is good but i could not afford the 2 tier prices , weekly was too expensive to pay per week and the annual charge is just too expensive. so ive uninstalled it

paid for pro. Recordings don't transcript. keeps loading. I'll update if anything changes but rn I'm not happy.

you cant cancel. there is no where to cancel. this is BS

Do not recommend for Android users. The app consistently fails during recordings, and when it does, there’s no way to recover the file. I’ve dealt with this multiple times with no real fixes. No recovery options, no meaningful updates, and no refund despite ongoing issues. I stuck it out hoping it would improve, but it’s still unreliable.

Great app and quickly summarizes meetings quickly and easy to understand.

is not for free

Like and subscribe to this.....but it has issues most of the time now. you try to record and just keeps saying 'one moment' which is very annoying when I needed to use it for back to back meetings. tried different phone and tablet.. but same issue. And not just happening to me. Unfortunately may have to search for another app, as I need the reliability. Upon reading other reviews im clearly not alone. wave are you doing anything to rectify our concerns?

I downloaded this app. Because I need to record a conversation with a mechanic shop that rip me off last year. & now the conversation was never recorded. Waist of time.

if you have back to back meetings its pretty much useless. was great until the years payment went out

Great Tool. so convenient and easy to use

The Wave is a total game-changer for anyone tired of scrambling to take notes during meetings. It captures everything effortlessly and turns the audio into surprisingly sharp, accurate transcriptions, so I can actually stay present in the conversation instead of buried in a notebook. If you're looking for a way to keep your records clear and your focus sharp, this is definitely the tool to get.

love the app it has been great up until now. but some recordings are still stuck on download. tried to message help but no replies

love it!

wow excellent.

Wow! This rocks..

The app does a great job of summarizing meetings. I'm planning to add it to Teams soon to see how much better it can be. One thing that's a bit annoying, and may be just for me, is when I open the app after a few hours of not using it, it reminds me to download the latest version. I have the latest version. I'm not sure why it keeps reminding me that my version is out-of-date. I've cleared the cache, reinstalled, rebooted, and force-closed the app. It keeps reminding me.

I tried to transcribe a video & there was a ton of symbols & time stamp #s in the way. I had to ask it to show me a transcript without the timestamps & it removed it but it looked like a random garbage mess bc the symbols were still in it. then when I finally had it set up in an articulative manner, it WOULDNT LET MY COPY ITTTT.!!! the option was there to highlight, but it would disappear after I tried to scroll to highlight it all. it wasted an hour to do NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! USELESS !!

Does a great job summarizing.

Works great when it works! However, it's freezing up more and more often when I click the record button to capture an IRL discussion - it just spins and does nothing. I'd previously have given this 4-5 stars but that's dropping to. 3-star rating.

super

reliable

It doesn't work. Don't waste your money.

This is my favorite for note taking by far. The ability to allow the user to customize the summaries for the type of meeting/event you are attending is outstanding. Support is fabulous as well.

outstanding LOVE WAVE

used this to record personal affirmations. It came out great!

Super summarizing app. Very valuable for serious study.

Pretty impressive.

my transcriptions are suddenly lost and there is no way to reach customer support

remarkable!

I paid for 1 year, and it's still not recording my incoming calls, does it not work with two Sims in one phone. Even when I manually (which is ridiculous) start recording the call, then switch out of the app, it stops recording. Something is wrong, this isn't working as paid for.

Great for meetings, captures every word a d puts into a realistic format.

Ad is too damn long! Are you crazy?

NOT what I expected it to be and Definately NOT what they made me to believe it was! Also, they MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CANCEL AND DONT OFFER A REFUND METHOD - THAT IN ITSELF IS NOT JUST SKETCHY - BUT CONFIRMS THE LESS THAN 1 STAR RATING!!

it help me study

Free means free. It does not mean sign up and then hope you can cancel. If they cannot provide at least a 24 hour free trial, I am not interested.

It normally only takes a few minutes to transcribe and summarize what you record. It's easy to share with others. Very impressed!

easy to use

good at all

A very useful app. Summarises the record of the meetings including action points quite well.

Awesome!!!!

so far this app has exceeded all others. it records long stretches and transcribes it and then summarizes it for ease. so far its all free. tried several other apps and none compare.

expensive!!!

I use Yahoo as my primary email. That isn't a option, and I'm uncomfortable using my Gmail, so I'm stuck with nothing.

I am very happy with this app. I had never taken minutes for a meeting before, and after becoming more familiar with the app, everything seemed to fall in place and allowed me to put together a more professional set of minutes.

This is a paid subscription app, and it's absolute garbage. I've had a way better experience with Otter.ai

$139 a year!! Sneaky scam.

complete waste. recorded 2 important phone calls and both ended with a message saying there were no voices recorded. They did contact me, which I appreciated but they suggested my phone was the issue. I replied that I'm using a Galaxy s23 Ultra. I haven't heard back from them since but I hope to. In the meantime, this app has been helpful in recording meetings that I've been to, but I really need it to be able to record what happens on my phone. I'm going to raise my rating from a 1 to a 2.

Very detailed and on point. No missing conversations when you think there are. Love this.

When clicking the Google or Microsoft account sign in button, a pop up asks why I cancelled signing in. Can't get passed this, so I can't sign in.

So, I chose to pause the subscription. But apparently I didn't hit the correct button and it continued and charge me. So, I canceled it. When apps use poor button placement to keep you hooked, it is not worth having! EVER!

Wave has become an indispensable component of my productivity toolbox. It is a fuss-free, elegant, and effective note taker and works well on the mobile and on the desktop. Summarized notes produced by Wave are much better than those produced by other popular apps.

AMAZING!I live with anxiety and depression, which sometimes makes it hard for me to remember or fully understand things. This app has been incredibly helpful—it allows me to better understand meetings by breaking them down clearly and making everything easier to process.It has also been a huge help for my son, who is seeing a therapist and has a language delay. Being able to review and understand information more clearly has made a real difference for both of us. I’m already telling EVERYONE.

This is one of the most accurate, well organized, summarized, transcription apps out there. My personal experience with this app identifying individuals has been about 80% accuracy. better than some other apps. easy to use, so many options to export, save, convert, share, etc. I utilize this app for meetings and training's. It's actually scary how well the transcript is broken down from the title of meeting, to each sub heading like "main topics, statements and notes, & action items." 👍

App has routinely said it's working and then provided a useless summary. It has also kicked me out 3 of the last 4 times I went to use it, trashing the recording it was currently making. Will be canceling ASAP because this is absolutely not worth the amount of money I'm paying.

When I first installed this app, it was pretty solid but I would say that in the last few months it has gotten progressively worse at processing audio and converting to transcript and notes, to where I've had to re-process the meeting audio several times and it's a 50/50 chance that I actually get the transcript and summary. Especially frustrating when the meeting or more dictation is especially. 1 hour+

When I first started using the Wave app, everything worked well and I enjoyed the experience I paid for subscribtion. However, recently the app has stopped working completely. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times, but it still refuses to start. Please look into this issue as soon as possible.

When it works, it’s great, but that’s a big “if.” More than half of my recordings fail to save, and you only find out after the fact, once the meeting is gone for good. It’s incredibly frustrating to lose hours of discussions without warning, with no way to recover them or even know they failed in real time. For something meant to capture important meetings, it’s simply not reliable, especially disappointing given that I’m paying for it.

I decided on Wave because of the feature to take pictures. Firstly, I love this app 90% of the time. But every so often it glitches out badly and I lose huge chunks of recording time. The camera spazzes and won't focus. While trying to get the camera to focus, the app will crash. Or, if I use my phone camera not attached to the app, the app will crash. Then it gets stuck on that recording and won't let me start a new recording. It also sometimes makes my phone glitch when playing back audio.

Wow. I was sceptical, especially after my first recording. But as soon as I hit "transcribe" it blew my mind. My rambling notes turned into a bullet pointed thing of beauty. All the ideas bouncing around my head were tamed and neatly placed in easy to read and understand order. Thank you developers, where has this been all my life!

I invested in this product and purchased a premium license. I was very happy, but now it consistently puts up a paywall and stops me from using the services I have already paid for unless I pay a second time. It's too bad because it was pretty awesome at first before they started trying to scam me into paying twice for the same product. Edit October 17 they corrected the problem quickly.

Although very good at transcription and summarizing the notes. The app tends to hang. Editing the transcription is cumbersome and clunky and did I mention the app keeps freezing and hanging? It's so close to being the best but I had to rate it low. Using a Samsung Galaxy S 24

originally I gave it 5 starts as what it can do is awesome, but on my pixel it's hard to share the content due to the placement of the share button and the same with the x. it's in the top corners of the screen and half the time the press doesn't work.

Unreliable! It crashes in the middle of meetings leaving you with useless recordings and no transcript or summary. It's great when it works but it's not consistent. I just lost another important meeting today because of it. The technical support didn't help, attributing this to Android issues! Why do you release apps if you know it's not optimized for whatever system? I cancelled my account today.

App doesn't work. Its supposed to record meetings and then process transcripts and summaries. Nope. Tried 3 meetings and get nothing. I paid for a month. Will not renew my subscription as it's useless.

this app is just like EVERY single other. it gives you ONE translation from your recordings. then refuses to translate any others. if you delete the first one and try to make a different one, THEN it'll demand that you pay a subscription to use it.

It very much seems like a good idea for an app and would be good to use but it keeps crashing. I try to add my mobile number and it glitches and I have to keep trying to select "United Kingdom" inside the glitch, then I manage and it gives me a code to enter and tells me they will call me Immediately, which the call hasn't came through, I've tried this 4 times now. still nothing. it does look like a good idea for an app but, it's very much not working for me. I'll probably just uninstall it.

Accurate transcription and impressive summaries led me to subscribe for 1 month. But recordings got stuck & couldn’t be retrieved, "selection" buttons malfunctioned, and file import never worked. After installation, my phone slowed dramatically. Tapping any phone icon would take several minutes to register, like sending commands to Mars Rover. Uninstalled early—No regrets. Performance returned instantly!! Support replied fast for MOST complaints but nothing helped. App Not ready for prime time.

crashes, won't stop recording, multiple failed recordings, all in 1 day, my first time using the app. Not a good impression at all. Refund? Because it's useless 😔. Notes are non-existent for most of the day.

As a broke college student, I was looking for a free app to record my lectures. Wave let me record about two times before locking me behind a paywall. Even after deleting one of my recordings, it still wants me to sign up for a payment plan. It's a neat app, but it's just unfair that the limit for non-paying users is like two recordings.

Accurate, able to accurately recognise speech even for non English speakers. Best feature is that it actually summerises in logical professional context. the sumnery can be exported to word or pdf, thereby enabling you to extract a complete and professional copy of the minutes. Perfect for professional minute or note takers, this is a game changer and will considerably reduce manual effort and errors. It's a bit too costly though.

rubbish, tried verifying my number multiple times so it could record calls, but that's doesn't work, it would give me the code but then I never got the supposed call for me to input the code and finish verifying.

Having tried a few note taking tools this is my favourite so far. It creates great summaries/minutes that are easy to organise, search and share. The annual Pro level subscription is good value for money compared to other similar ambient voice AI tools. The only bit I haven't been able to get working yet is phone verification.

Today was the second 3-hour DnD session the app lost. After stopping the recording it just sits there at 0%. I actually paid money for this app when at the very least, a plane recording app wouldn't have lost the whole recording. Where do you even lose a recording? Do you just delete it?

thought it would be unlimited I love this app, it helped summarize a lot of lectures for me and make it easier to understand what is being told to me. I showed it to other people and I didn't realize there would be a limited amount of usage for this app. I'm upset about that. I just wish it was unlimited usage for free, maybe it would be cool if there was a free subscription for college students to use throughout their years.

Horrible app! I've had Wave AI for a few months now. It often does NOT record the voice/conversation. Or it stalls/crashes in the middle of the recording. I've had to rely on other (cheaper) note takers to prevent the frustration of sitting through a meeting only to discover this AI app failed once again. It operates about 30% of the time. Highly recommend looking at other options. This has potential--but tons of flaws/bugs.

I'd like to give this app a good review, as it offers useful features. After testing, I used it to record an important interview, and though I checked periodically to be sure it was recording, after we finished I found that the interview did not process. The company tried to help retreive it, but the recording was lost. Thus, it failed in it's primary use case, leaving me with no recording, transcripts or even handwritten notes. Huge fail. I hope they do better.

I tested Wave with a one-week subscription and ran into some problems. When connected to my Chevy, having notifications enabled in the app causes my car to think I’ve dialed voicemail. The audio cuts out, shows a voicemail call for about 10 seconds, then disconnects before music resumes—this cycle repeats constantly. I also had to disable microphone access to stop the interruptions. Otherwise in my shorts trial, I have been pleased with it. but no way I can justify a subscription.

Yeah. Very impressive. Very intuitive. Far better transcriptions than others I've used. Virtually error-free. The AI summary feature is nice as well. The ads are a bit too aggressive although relevant. They throw me out of the flow of the program. The transcript can be edited but the phone keyboard covers all the text of the transcript so I can't actually see what I'm trying to edit.

Terrible, I recorded my class and it made the transcript but when I left the app and came back, everything was gone. But it says I need to pay to be able to record more since I used all the space

one if THE MOST horrific sign in processes of my life. incredibly complicated. you are limited with the choices to sign in, then multiple further steps to do so, then weird permissions within other apps to sign in. thoroughly unnecessary and frustrating

If you are someone who struggles with planning, self talk, and disorganized intrusive thoughts, this voice recording app is great! I can say anything and it records, transcribed, and the ai offered me assistance with resources tailored to my thoughts! Need help with negative self talk... talk to the app! Need help fleshing out content ideas... talk to the app! it was a great decision

I paid for this weeks subscription, and it says in the Play Store that it is due on the 4 September. However, I can't use it, but it still says expired. Still can't access it

Great meeting summaries. It would be an improvement to be able to change the titles of the waves, though, because they're not terribly informative and I keep losing track of what meeting each refers to. The change title in summary option doesn't work on my phone, it un-changes itself when I leave the summary.

, I have a paid subscription to WaveAI NOTETAKER App and I am having trouble retrieving my recording & notes from my lecture. It seems like it's stuck because it still says "Recording" after I stopped recording, & it's not pulling it up. Please help me resolve this.

At first this app was a game changer, but then it kept trying to charge me even though I already had a subscription. It stopped working and wanted me to re-subscribe. Deleted it and reinstalled and now the subscription I had is gone. Very disappointed.

Truly mind blowing. Just try the free version first. After that, worth every penny. If you want solid summaries of meetings, webinars, and any other gatherings, get this app. If you want to stay engaged and still have solid notes, get this app.

the Wave app works great even on just the free version. I gave it 4 stars for that. But to offload the script requires way too much access and control into apps to save the script contents such as one note, notion, and evernote. Policy acceptance is pretty clear in how intrusive giving access would mean.

This worked very well recording a meeting however the phone call recording features are not available in the UK so it's not fully functional as advertised. (confirmed by support) maybe other countries are not fully supported either?. Charging a premium subscription for advertised features that are not actually available is somewhat misleading.

I find this note-taking application incredibly useful for organizing my thoughts and tasks. It offers a variety of features, such as the ability to categorize notes, set reminders, and easily search for specific information. The user-friendly interface makes it simple to navigate, allowing me to focus on my ideas rather than getting caught up in the technicalities. Overall, it has significantly improved my productivity and helps me keep track of important information effectively.

I cannot figure out how long I've had this app on my phone. I was just looking thru my apps in good play and read a few reviews, mostly good! I'm looking fo an app recorder to record and transcribe, for use with calls on a Samsung 10+ , which can also record WhatsApp facetime calls, and possibly zoom too. Hoping the developer will contact me with answers before I delete it! oh, I would also like to know what it costs, if it costs anything. I usually install free apps, so I'm guessing this one is

this app was pretty expensive. $90/year and half the time it records for 30 minutes or an hour and then says no speech detected. very frustrating. edit- it said it was $90/year but I was charged $99.99. 10% extra to not function properly half the time.

I love, love, love this app. what a game changer, seriously. goodbye, writers block. hello inspiration and insight!!! helpful introspection from AI helped me gain clarity from my inner thoughts, and now I'm writing a book. beyond grateful.

poor interface design. when loaded, nothing seems to be happening. Either it's not working or the interface us poorly designed that the average user can't figure it out.

This app turned my thoughts into organized magic. 🧠✨ I speak, it writes—clean, fast, and right on point. Whether I'm jotting goals, rhymes, or reminders, Wave AI catches it all without missing a beat. Great for multitaskers, creatives, or anyone leveling up their focus. It's like having a digital secretary that never sleeps. 🎤📝🔥

I've been using this app for a while and it was a life saver until it wasn't. I recently attempted to record a meeting and it showed that it was recording, but when I went to press stop, there was nothing. No transcript, summary, or anything. I reached out to support and they informed me that there was nothing they could do. They apologized. This happened on two back-to-back occasions, and vital notes were lost. I'm extremely disappointed. I paid for the year and would like a refund.

Absolutely one of the best note taking apps i've utilized to date. I'm always in back to back meetings and sometimes can fall behind on recalling data discussed. Wave has been present and the detailed breakdown of Action Items, Follow up Items and (my personal favorite), Wave AI Chat has been pivotal in my follow up project planning and forward trajectory. Even spoke with their customer service due to a minor hiccup and got exceptional customer service from Josh!

I've had much success using this app. but it freezes my phone a lot. seems to not work well with battery saver mode. it makes the phone real quiet when using speaker phone. quiets notifications even when not active recording. also wish there was a widget to quickly start a recording session instead of having to open the app.

Great tool, perfect, really, I did not realise at first it was 30 mins free. That's very generous. I am going to run it through the paces then subscribe if it is as good as it seems.

First time using it.(free version) Used it a meeting and it picked up more stuff than I even picked up. The summary was just about spot on and very beneficial in assisting of the meetings minutes. I'll keep testing with other meetings. Thank you.

Within minutes of installing this app I was billed for 150 dollars for amazon gift cards. The mail sent thanking me for the gift was sent to the mail address I use only when trying new apps like this one.

Downloaded and paid for a week to use at a conference that I am attending. froze on me 3 times, lost the first file. Now I wish I'd used pen and paper...as I didn't get the functionality i'd hoped for in any way.

It is effective in detecting multiple speakers and efficient in giving the audio, transcript, and summary. No more needs to be said besides it gets the job done and it does it well without headaches. I don't know how many times you can use it a day but it definitely is a life saver for whatever important meetings you need to record, and whatever else.

Didn't even get past the login. Don't make users give you access to their Gmail or Facebook before they can even test the tool. At the very least, allow us to create a new profile with Wave rather than give u access to our personal accounts.

Possibly great but you have to Pay to Play. You get one try, then forget it, you have to pay. No clear distinction of what's available if you remain free. Seems like nothing.

Worked great for a while but now there are two issues, the share icon is so far up and to the right that it doesn't register my touch. Second, it froze up recently because my phone battery saver kicked in mid upload. Forced stop, and restart didn't work so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Appears to be working again.

Really cool app.I have used it on several occasions and so many of those around would want something similar setup for their language. I would like to white label the product to my country local audience. If the founder can reach out, it would be a plus

The app is completely useless. I believed I was recording presentations. There are no audible recordings or transcriptions after I paid for the subscription. The only actual audio I have is from the free version, and the audio is absolutely terrible and inaudible for most of it. I will be requesting a refund.

Poor technical support. I'll change this drastically if they fix the android "Manage Subscription" Right now the page won't stop scrolling so you are stuck with the free version. Based upon what I have seen from others, this app is the industry leader in transcription and creating concise summaries of meetings. To bad I can't currently use it.

I loaded the app twice and both times the app will not allow recording, stating 2 devices cannot record at the same time. I have no other recording apps open or recording. Not impressed with the app at all.
