Google has officially released the NotebookLM apps for both Android and iOS, ahead of Google I/O 2025 and earlier than initially planned. NotebookLM is a tool designed to help users understand and engage with complex information, and the mobile app responds to popular demand for on-the-go access.
Key Features of the NotebookLM Mobile App
- Audio Overviews Offline Playback: Users can download Audio Overviews to listen offline, useful in areas with poor connectivity or to save cellular data. The app supports background playback, enabling multitasking.
- Interactive Hosts: Users can join discussions by asking questions or guiding the conversation in new directions through a simple tap.
- Seamless Sharing: Content from websites, PDFs, or YouTube videos can be shared directly to NotebookLM from any app via the share icon, with plans to support more input types in the future.
Availability and Target Audience
The app supports iOS 17+ (iPhone and iPad) and Android 10+ (phones and tablets). It aims to serve students, professionals, and anyone who deals with large amounts of information by making NotebookLM accessible across devices. Feedback can be shared on X or the Discord server.
