Summ review
A mobile AI summarizer for articles, videos, and pasted text, with listening and offline access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Summ is a mobile AI reading assistant for people who want to review web articles, YouTube videos, or pasted text without reading or watching every source in full. It is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Readers can adjust summary length and output language, then save results in a searchable library. Video summaries can include chapters, key points, and timestamps linked to the source, making the app particularly relevant for people who want a quick map of a longer video before deciding what to revisit.
Its strongest fit is the combination of summaries with listening and offline review. Text-to-speech reads summaries aloud, while saved summaries remain accessible offline. Video transcripts can also be exported as TXT, SRT, or VTT files. Those features make Summ more than a one-off summarizer for mobile readers who want to keep and revisit material. Its scope remains focused: the listed source types are web articles, YouTube videos, and pasted text, rather than PDF question answering or annotation workflows.
Summ uses a freemium model with a free plan that includes daily summaries. Premium adds unlimited summaries and support for longer videos. The named paid options are Weekly Plan, Monthly Plan, and Yearly Plan; the published starting price is 6.99, and Apple's listing shows US in-app purchase prices that may vary by region. Pick Summ if mobile access, quick video structure, audio playback, and saved summaries matter more than broader research tools. Readers who need desktop deployment, PDF Q&A, or annotations should look for a different fit.
