Title: Google Launches NotebookLM App For Android and iOS

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/05/19/2112...

Google has launched the NotebookLM app for Android and iOS, offering a native
mobile experience with offline support, audio overviews, and integration into
the system share sheet for adding sources like PDFs and YouTube videos.
9to5Google reports: This native experience starts on a homepage of your
notebooks with filters at the top for Recent, Shared, Title, and Downloaded.
The app features a light and dark mode based on your device's system theme
with no manual toggle. Each colorful card features the notebook name, emoji,
number of sources, and date, as well as a play button for Audio Overviews.
There's background playback and offline support for the podcast-style
experience (the fullscreen player has a nice glow), while you can "Join" the
AI hosts (in beta) to ask follow-up questions. You get a "Create new" button
at the bottom of the list to add PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, and text.
Notably, the NotebookLM app will appear in the Android and iOS share sheet to
quickly add sources. When you open a notebook, there's a bottom bar for the
list of Sources, Chat Q&A, and Studio. It's similar to the current mobile
website, with the native client letting users ditch the Progressive Web App.
Out of the gate, there are phone and (straightforward) tablet interfaces. You
can download the app for iOS and Android using their respective links.
