Great tool for school organisation!
I have been using notion for the past couple months and I absolutely love it! I use it to track assignments/exams as well as homework, and recently set up a topic reviewing database. I have also heard that toggles are great for flashcards, and these can be used with the traffic light method. Notion single-handedly made me excel this past year, however one major thing that I would love to be added is Apple Calendar integration. I use all iOS devices and so Apple calendar is my default, however it would be great if I could embed it in my notion page and have it sync, as the third party sites that do this have not worked very well for me. Other than that, notion is perfect for organising pretty much anything!

Frustrating Search and Useless AI
I had high hopes for Notion, but the app has some glaring issues that make it practically unusable for serious note-taking or knowledge management. The search functionality is, frankly, terrible. It’s almost impossible to find keywords in my notes because it doesn’t direct me to the specific location of the term within the note. To make things worse, you can’t even search within individual notes, which is a basic feature that any note-taking app should have. If I can’t easily find references in my notes, what’s the point of using this tool?
The AI feature is equally disappointing. I have detailed and long-form notes, but Notion’s AI consistently fails to process them properly. It rarely provides useful outputs based on my content, which defeats the purpose of having an “intelligent” assistant. It feels like the AI struggles to handle anything beyond surface-level queries, making it borderline useless for anyone with complex or detailed notes.
Overall, Notion looks great on the surface but falls apart in critical areas like search and AI functionality. If you rely on robust search or intelligent assistance, Notion is not the tool for you.

great app for organization
notion can pretty much do anything, and the mobile version has almost the same capabilities as the pc version too. taking notes from a different app and pasting over to notion is easy and doesn’t cause any problems (like unsaved changes or formatting issues) which makes it easy to switch apps. the only thing i wish notion didn’t include is “notion AI”. notion ai is just a mini chat GPT for the most part, and is entirely useless when you realize notion is made for note taking. you can’t use your own notes unless you understand them, and adding in a bunch of ai randomness and unnecessary words from some chat GPT knockoff bot will only make the note taking process worse for everyone involved. i get what they were trying to do here, and i'm sure it helps in some situations, but if you really need to use ai, please just go to an actual app that filters the bot’s responses correctly and accurately. everything else is great, though!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10 Stars
Notion is hands down one of the most versatile tools I’ve ever used! Whether you’re managing personal projects, collaborating on team goals, or just trying to stay organized day-to-day, Notion adapts perfectly to suit any need. Its flexibility allows you to create custom templates, databases, to-do lists, and even complex workflows, all in one platform.
One of my favorite aspects of Notion is that it can be as simple or as advanced as you want. It lets you design your workspace with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, so you can build layouts that actually work for you. And because it’s so customizable, Notion really grows with you – what starts as a simple note-taking app can easily transform into a powerful project management tool or a knowledge database.
Notion has become essential to my workflow, giving me the freedom to organize my life on my terms. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tool that truly does it all.

Lovely App
Absolutely love the app, I’m now actually looking forward to writing my notes!
The only improvement I would like to see is a control key feature for highlighting so that you can highlight different sections of text all at once. It is very time-consuming going through my notes and having to highlight each key part, press the A symbol and change the background colour. If you could hold the control key down and select all the different parts of text at once it would save a lot of time!

Calendar view is amazing
I literally only use this app for calendar view and data transfer between Apple and Windows devices (Google Drive works too but you have to click more buttons). Notion's calendar view is so beautiful, customizable and functional, plus you can add MULTIPLE views and filter + sort them all differently! I say functional using a 5th Gen iPad Pro, my less powerful old iPad Air doesn't run anything that well, so beware if you don't have Pro anything. But wow! I love that you can add tags to pages in the calendar, and show the Status of it so you can check it off when the task is complete! Way more fluid and easy on the eye than Google Calendar. My only quibble is the lack of color customizability across all of Notion, but the page icons and tag colors function just fine for color coding purposes.
I only use the free version, so the fact that Notion offers all that for free is amazing, but if you pay you get things called automations which I've never been able to try but I'm sure that would be even more convenient. A downside is you can't use Notion offline, which is tough when a place's WiFi disconnects every 5 minutes. My home WiFi has never given me trouble though.
I've been using Notion since December 2023. It takes a bit to learn and other apps do some things better, but calendar view really has changed my life and made planning a lot more fluid, fun and aesthetic!

Great app!!
Notion is such a great app and has helped me plan my day ahead and be more prepared. I am proud to say notion always has my back love this app highly recommend 😊😊
Amazing & altruistic
I switched to digital work and productivity app at the start of this year, after watching one of Sir David Attenborough’s programmes where he talked about native forests being cleared away to make space for fast growing trees for paper pulp production. Notion and August Bradley’s videos on how to tap into Notion’s enormous power, has completely transformed my planning and tracking process with so much more clarity and depth. Notion is a beautiful app too which is absolutely important to me. Took me a few weeks to get the hang of Notion. But now, Notion is much more than a journal - it is my planner, my mirror, and woven into the fabric of my life.
All this for free, as an individual with a personal account.
The world is a better place because of the likes of the Notion team. Thank you.

Amazing! Great for students
Notion is THE BEST organisational app there is, I use it to manage my to do’s for school, to track my upcoming assignments + exams, and am soon going to set up a habit tracker. Would definitely recommend for students especially. However, there are a few things I would love to see added (I use iOS for reference so I don’t know if these features are available on Mac or other computers):
- ability to embed & sync Apple calendar
- a way to time block my day, specifically for my morning & night routines
Apart from these small features I would like to have, notion is perfect 💗
