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!Show lessJason-hou1
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 😊😊Sofia Klun
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.Show lessCuriouser&
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 💗Show lessThePanda2511
For the last three days…
I’ve had fun using Notion. I thought, “This is my new ultimate database. It does things other apps can’t do. It’s a lifesaver.” Now, I’m thinking of unsubscribing at the end of the month. The inability to support PDF Export in 2024 for just about any page or document I desire AS IS, with no weird formatting changes or outright non-transferring of whole swaths of information is downright unacceptable. I’m on the $10 per month plan, so maybe they have that feature in the $20 per month plan, but no. It’s a feature that should be available in all plans, by default. I feel like all the work I put in over the last three days is near-wasted, because it feels like it’s all held hostage by either an underpowered PDF feature or a locked-out PDF feature. I’ve looked up alternative methods by other users and those didn’t work for me either. Oh, well. It was a fun three days, I guess. Hope there comes a massive overhaul of issues like these in the future, but despite Notion’s popularity and cost the debugging and development sector of their business has historically not been up to snuff. Hope this changes, but for now, I’m leaving. Please be warned of issues like these before you dive head-first into a new app/service like I did. Hindsight’s 20/20.Show lessMicrofoo77
Notion is okay, but…
The app is incredibly buggy. Transitioning from my laptop to my phone is such a painful experience. The Notion app is riddled with glitches and bugs. For example, when I create a database and add multi-select options, trying to hold down on one of the options to move it (I sometimes switch the options to be in a certain order) causes the page to spazz out of control and start auto-scrolling back to the top and it doesn’t stop unless I tap out of the page and reenter. This wasn’t an issue before, I could move multi-select options whenever, so why is it happening now? I can’t help but feel like the effort put into maintaining the user experience in the desktop version, whilst adding in new features, isn’t being applied to the app version, which is very disappointing. Creating a great platform for team communication and personal organization, only to have the app’s experience be so glitchy and frustrating, is disheartening. I love Notion and what it has helped me accomplish, but please, take better care of the app. It’s a shame to see so many bugs crawling around such a nice app. 😞Show lessYcon34
No offline mode
I understand that Notion can’t perform certain tasks that require an internet connection like AI queries or even editing tables (“databases”) but at least let me read plain text. And write. I spent an 11 hour plane journey writing and was horrified to see all of it disappear as soon as I got an internet connection. Some of the information was text written in a table and o totally blanked that Notion considers this a database. I would have been better off using Apple notes. What am I paying a subscription for?
I’ve been developing apps since 2011 and persisting the app state in memory is one of the first things I would build in to meet the most basic usability requirements. How do apps these days get away with showing an error the minute your connection drops? There’s no excuse for an app today to be that dumb.Show lessBeanie567
Please add tabs for IPad!
I love Notion for desktop, it’s an amazing app and I’d give the Desktop version 5 stars. I use it for everything, from study notes, daily journal, financial tracking, plant tracking, recipes, and so much more.
However, when using it on the go on IPad, I can only view 1 page at a time as there is no option for tabs or split-screen functionality. As I use it for so many things, I constantly switch back and forth between tabs, making the Notion experience on IPad a bit of a nightmare.
Please address this issue as I am not alone with this grievance. If you can’t implement multiple tabs, please allow the app to work in split-screen.Show lessMomotsukii
Nightmare
This is one of the best yet one of the worst products I have ever used. When it works it's great. However, I am really fed up with it kicking me out and when I sign back in it redirects me to other sign in group (email, Apple, Google) then when I think I'm signing in I'm actually creating a new account which then confuses things even further. Yet again I cannot access my main account, the one where I have everything stored, the one where I keep loads of study material and rely to keep my information safe and accessible. Yet again I feel I have lost everything and it's a nightmare getting notion to understand why or what I am having difficulty with. I am in total despair at this same problem arising again, an issue that took months to resolve the last time. If the miracle happens, which I doubt, and I can gain access to my proper full paid for account then I will be exporting the info and leaving Notion for good because I just cannot trust it anymore. Sad really, because it's so good once your in and using it.Show lessTheunabridgedme
