The web interface is far superior, which is why I'm taking a star off the app. I don't see a way to include custom instructions for the podcast, no way to change speed, nor can I download the file for the purposes of using the audio outside the app itself. When I do click the download button it seems to just download it for use in the app. oh doesn't show up in my downloads folder for me to put into my podcast app. So, some functionality is missing, but overall great.

NotebookLM is great overall, but the download function is frustrating. Downloads take an unusually long time, and after completing, they don’t appear properly in the Downloads panel. Clicking on them does nothing, and they often disappear altogether, whether you’re online or offline. This bug really limits the usefulness of the app, especially for offline access. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I like this Google notebook a lot! It's really good for taking notes and keeping things organized. It connects well with my other Google stuff, which is super handy. But there's a big problem: if you use a screen reader, it's really hard to use. Lots of buttons don't have names, so my screen reader can't tell me what they are. This makes it confusing and tough to do even basic things. For example, I often can't tell what button I'm pressing. It has so much potential, but until they fix these pro
