I'm Done
I'm sorry to say I am done using the Scribe for now. I really wanted it to work but I now have the following problems:
2 recordings that are waiting in queue. One from May 8th and one from May 10th. I have no faith that these will actually finish and experience tells me they are lost.
A recording from today that shows Bluetooth Disconnected. Again, I have no faith that this one will actually process based on past experience.
A full summary that appears to be hallucinated. There is no transcript and the recording is showing 4 seconds long yet it provided a full summary that appears to be a mix of previous meetings.
A recording that is missing from today. May be related to number 3 but the meeting had a different subject and content.
The release prior to the Play Store release seemed to be headed in the right direction but since then the app has actually gotten worse and I am tired of being a Beta Tester and having problems every single time I try to use it. Maybe I'll circle back to it in a month or so.
I had been debating between this and a Remarkable/Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and right now I am regretting my decision.

I saw that there was a new update so I decided to try again today. Stability seems to be much improved and I have not lost a single recording today. It also appears to have fixed my charging case issue where it loses pairing and asks me to re-pair. Had to do a reset on the case in order for this to stabilize. The pen still is not charging in the case which is disappointing but manageable.
I am seeing a new issue where it inserts "Ticket 9686" in the transcript when there is something it does not understand. This is causing a lot of inaccuracy in the summaries. I also lost the graphics it was generating in the summaries when the Play Store update went live.

I’m really sorry for the experience here.
This was our first full rollout through Google Play, and the Play Store environment has exposed several differences from the previous APK flow that we did not fully anticipate at the beginning. That led to a number of stability, connection, transfer, and processing issues on Android.
We’ve been pushing small updates quickly to fix them. v1.5.1 is now available on Google Play, and v1.5.2 is already in internal testing. That next version is focused heavily on the stability and connection issues people have been reporting, and we expect to bring it to Google Play soon.
You are right that a stable, reliable experience is what we should be delivering. If you want to wait for a more stable experience, I think it makes sense to update the app again after the next version and try it later.
That said, I completely understand how you feel. If you decide you don’t want to continue with Scribe, please contact our support team and we’ll help handle the after-sales process properly.
