  • Excellent and Useful

    This is a very, very well polished app. It’s easy to use, and multi-device syncing is extremely useful, especially if you’re on the go.

    Highly recommend to anyone who needs a new way to make notes. I guarantee you’ll find it useful, no matter your work style all thanks to Notion’s adaptive interface.

  • So disappointed about the iPad version of Notion.

    I would love to integrate notion into my life to get more productive and I would even consider paying for the pro version. Unfortunately I don’t currently own a Mac or Pc and the iPad is my main device for productivity and working online. I just wasted hours trying to figure out how to create simple columns on Notion on my iPad until I realised that you just can’t.
    iPad screens are wide enough to display columns there’s no reason to cut down on functionality for those devices.
    Please make and update and create a more user friendly iPad version of Notion, or at least let us use the desktop version of the app.

  • Amazing

    I use this app more than just for note taking! I use it for lists, trackers, a smaller travel diary, you name it, I’ve got it! Notion is so versatile and so easy to use and I recommend it to everyone all the time.

    I don’t mean to be petty when I suggest this but, could you please add a referencing system!! My university course requires a lot of extra reading (almost so much that I could swim in the words of scholars, but I digress). I think it would speed up the note taking process as before I’ve just had to manually add them into my notes which is a nightmare at times when I just want to get cracking with writing. Other than that, this would be a 5 star review!

  • Great app, one suggestion for Cornell notes

    This is so useful and has been great for uni!!!

    I’m using the Cornell note taking system on an iPad and it would very efficient if you could paste images/screenshot directly into the section you are note taking on. When I paste an image it goes directly to the bottom of the page which can be problematic when you have a document with plenty of notes and as a result, need to move images up into their respective sections one by one. I think this would be a great update and time saver for us visual learners!!

    A wonderful app nonetheless!

  • Many iPad issues

    I love this app I’ve been using it extensively for about a year on my Macbook pro and my iphone. I recently switched to an iPad and the issues have been becoming more and more prominent unfortunately.

    1. You can’t copy and paste multiple texts from a Notion page to another or outside the app. Unlike the laptop which can copy and paste an entire page.

    2. The option to select text using the dots beside it is glitchy and only shows up half of the time.

    3. When moving text around often where I’m dragging it to and where it ends up is different.

    4. When selecting a background colour for a text it only highlights the text and not the entire text bracket unlike on the laptop which has the choice.

    5. There is no option to increase the text size or zoom in on Notion on the iPad. The text is very small and difficult to read.

    Overall Notion doesn’t integrate with many of the iPad features unlike other third party apps. I have my entire work and study functions created on this app and I truly enjoy the versatility of it. However it seems as though nothing is being done to improve on this which is unfortunate as I was hoping to use this app for many years to come.

    Thank you.

  • Simple look and easy layout!

    I've been using Notion for almost 2 months(to keep that artist life organized!) and it's been great! I love how you can set it up as a more detailed layout or simpler one like how I prefer~I'm the type of person to write to-do lists. But since I've been wanting to do it digitally, Notion has been the one and only stop that checked off all the box of requirements in my book! The app is easy to navigate, easy to edit, and restore as well! Just this morning I was able to recover a page I had accidentally trashed :D being able to add a cover is all I need to honestly. It justs gives the page a bit more personality. Thank you Notion team for such a great app ♡

  • great and very organized, but i have suggestions

    i love this app. i love how organized and in detail you can make all of your tasks and stuff. it is very confusing at first, but once you know how it works, it is a great tool to use. somethings that i with were available though is that i wish on the calendar settings, or any setting really, you could put a location of an event you go to like the ios calendar. i also wish you could but more than one reminder. for example, you can only put “remind me a day before” or “remind me a week before”. i wish i could remind myself a day before AND a week before. i am a very forgetful person so this would help me a lot. lastly, i just wish there were more colors available for customization. other than those little things, it is a great app to use and i would definitely recommend. it’s a solid 9/10!

  • Disappointed

    I downloaded this app on my Mac a week ago. I was really surprised by the quality and how easy to use it is. But today , the app gave up IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CLASS. I can’t open it, it just keeps loading and loading and loading…
  • Good app for reviewing

    I am a huge fan of Notion. I use it several hours everyday to tackle, organize, and create things for both my work and home life. It is a truly amazing tool that has replaced several apps that I used to rely on. Don’t let this iOS app discourage, go check out the platform.

    That said, the iPhone app is fairly useless when it comes to creating and organizing content. It’s slow, clunky, and buggy. It’s a fine enough app if you’re simply using it to review your content inside Notion. It’s slightly better on iPad, but still not great. This is very clearly a desktop app that’s not reached maturity on mobile. Working with text, tables, styles, is slow and unintuitive (or broken). Trying to select text, hold space to move your cursor, make edits across multiple paragraphs is all basic functionality required to be efficient in Notion, and none of it works right in the current app.

    So if you’re new to Notion or wanting to test it out, use a computer. This app will not give you a full sense of what this amazing app is capable of.

  • Major accessibility issue

    Still no option to increase text size and both light and dark modes use grey typeface which means there’a very little contrast making it extremely unfriendly to vision impaired users. Can a developer respond to this and let me know if this is on the roadmap? Text size understandably is more intensive to implement but making the dark mode a true black background with true white text and vice versa the opposite for light mode could be achieved in minutes. Thank you in advance for considering accessibility 😃

    I really want to permanently move to this from Evernote that I’ve paid for many years BUT the dark mode is a deal breaker at the moment. It’s more like “grayscale mode” which makes things very difficult to read sometimes because of a lack of contrast. I’m really surprised any designer would do that. PLEASE just give us true black or something much closer to black. (Same issue on MacOS app) 🖤🖤🖤
