Broken?
The app seems to be broken. It will not launch beyond the splash screen on my iPhone 11.mitchpalms
Love the Customization
Never did a review for an app before but I was surprised this only had 4 stars. I love notion because it helps me keep track of literally everything that comes to my head from my meal plan and grocery plan for this week, to meals I would like to try, I have my morning routine and evening routine on here, habit tracker, etc. This is the first thing that is actually helping me organize which in return is helping my adhd and anxiety. The one con I have is that it is sometimes hard to move text, the calendar I have added, line breaks, etc. but luckily there are so many templates already available for download so I just use those. So thankful for this app!Show lesstheamandax3
Irritating for a note taking app
I’ve used this for over a year on the recommendation of someone and I’m fed up with it. How hard is it to create a note taking app that works consistently and isn’t downright irritating? I’ll be looking for an alternative.
Number of irritating aspects about this app:
The pop up menu appearing when you use a backslash is annoying especially when all you want to do is type the date. It’s not smart or intuitive.
Pasting screenshots into this lags because it sits there for a few seconds uploading it presumably to cloud storage immediately.
Highlight text, copy and paste function works inconsistently on a Mac depending on what day of the week it is.
Bullet point indentation doesn’t always return to the correct level when you press backspace and have sub bullet points so it messes up your formatting.
App logs you out after not using it for a while. Why? Security? For notes? This happens on both the Mac and iOS versions. Social media, emails apps etc don’t log you out periodically.
Latest update as of 31/1 on iOS has made the app unusable as there’s so much lag when typing.Show lessttech1
Brilliant, but would love a few things:
Been using this for the past few months for note-taking as well as just organising my life. Really great design and so many possibilities once you get the hang of it.
I would, however, like to be able to open multiple instances of the app (on iPadOS), this would make it easier to transfer notes and much more.
Would also be great if there were an option to open all toggles at once.
I don’t usually write reviews but would love to see these things in future, would make this great app even better.Show lessQashaqi
Your desktop version is let down by such a poor ipadOS version
Frankly, the developers should be ashamed of themselves that they let the kind of excellent refined design and quickness of notion on the desktop by the rather clunky iPadOS version. There are so many things that you just can’t do. First of all the pop-up menu when clicking buttons should only be when you are left clicking. It should not hover over you, it makes no sense.
When you go in split screen you can’t right-click? You can’t write / commands, you literally can type text and if you try and change colours or make it bold it use goes away.
You can’t copy blocks of text and select across chunks of text and move it or copy it. It’s like it’s written by a child, you have such excellent hardware yet you frankly limited the capabilities of it despite the large user base. I use notion everyday but knowing the iPad version is so utterly incapable of even the most basic of tasks makes my life a hell of a lot worse as a student.Show lessdomitrov rashovskey
problem
everytime i try to upload a picture to my icons, it stays on 0% and doesn’t work. FIX!!THE SCAMMER POLICE
UI needs improvement
The “Turn into” feature doesn’t work until you click the icon and then scroll up briefly after the keyboard minimizes. At this point, you can barely see the “Turn into” options to select at the bottom of the screen.
It would be better if the keyboard didn’t minimize and the “Turn into” options appeared as soon as you press the icon.
A similar bug exists for the background color icon.
The location of “delete” after you press the ellipses changes depending on the type of item you select, yet delete is one of the most commonly used features here. There should be a quicker easier way to delete blocks, and at the very least the order of items shown when you press the ellipses shouldn’t change to facilitate muscle-memory when deleting.Show lessTheelementgreen
Buggy
I’ve love using Notion on the desktop and web and it works great. I was expecting the same when using it on my iPad Pro. Overall it recreates the functionality of the desktop experience except for one major bug that always gets in the way…. When using a keyboard, for some reason the app flips out and does not know whether it’s using touch or keyboard input. I can’t tap or type anything, as it keep flipping the bottom nav bar back and forth. I have to constantly have to unplug my keyboard to even tap into and be able to type anything…. Not really useful to be typing with a iOS’s default keyboard on a large iPad Pro when I have a perfectly usable keyboard hooked up. And essentially renders this app useless. I have to resort the web app on Safari (iPad) but then that’s not optimized for touch as hover states manifest even. So it’s a net lost right now on the iPad Pro with Notion.Show lessliquidmoon666
Great Product, still work ahead
Overall, love using Notion. It’s collaborative nature and the simplicity is fantastic. A few bugs that would be helpful to fix:
Private Pages and Workspace Pages can be favorited, but not shared pages. This is a really strange aspect about Shared and one of a few spots where it feels like the shared pages end up being a bit of a step child (though a very powerful tool!)
At our company we’ve also accidentally lost some top-level pages of our workspace from time to time (mostly because people accidentally delete them or move the into a private page etc…). Each time it’s happened, the version history has not been effective in searching and restoring our top-level pages (even for admins). This issue normally takes an extensive amount of time with their chat team to resolve.Show lessEllisIsland97
Love the vision. UI and UX needs work
Let me just say first and foremost, ever since I got more used to the learning curve of using this app and taking notes and honestly trying to put everything I possibly can in there to prevent me from having to write things down in different notebooks and writing notes in my default notes iPhone app, I love it, but sometimes it can be sooooo frustrating.
One example is the highlighting. You cannot select lines of text, just single lines. Another thing is that when you highlight a word or line sentence to change it to a header or a body paragraph or even just a sentence highlighted in yellow, you can’t get rid of the little options box that pops up when you start highlighting. I have to hit back and then go back into my page to make it go away. These kinds of things make the app so much less efficient and quite frustrating but because I can organize so well on it, especially sermons and lesson notes, I’ve held onto and really use it for almost everything.
If they improve those things it can result by an amazing app. Your team is always free to email me if you guys want more support tickets haha and ideas for improvements. I’m a graphic designer myself so I just see how things could be better.Show lessTrustedReviews!
