Leave a Review Notion
Y’all. This app is amazing.
I loved this app from the very first day. You can do so many things with it, from to do lists, schedules, databases, bullet-journal-type spreads, and so much more, while using the same technique for everything. It is super simple and easy to use, and has so many features. You can make tables, graphs, charts, and even make a webpage out of a notion workspace.
I tried many organization apps, like Evernote, Dropbox, keep, and the notes app, but this is the most functional.
I use it to organize my entire life, from school, work, and general life improvement. Their templates make the app easier to use, and gave me ideas on how to improve myself and track my progress. It helps me with time management since I have a busy schedule.
Even in my free time, this app helps me improve with the templates. I don’t think this is the purpose of the templates, but I still love them 😅. They have templates like habit trackers, weekly agendas, club workspaces, reading lists, job applications, and so much more. It makes me feel like reading, building new habits, and helps me make the most out of my time.
This is by far my favorite organization/productivity app because it actually helps me get more productive.Show lessjill472
Best. Hands down.
I can still hardly believe Notion is free to use (for personal use at least, I haven’t tried to collaborative/business mode).
There’s SO MUCH you can accomplish with this app: note-taking, to-dos, lists, wiki’s, databases, journaling, etc.
I’ve used a handful of other apps with varying levels of success and satisfaction: Bear, Noto, Evernote, OneNote, Dropbox Paper, and of course the default Notes app. Each have their own limitations, quirks, and restrictions. Most require a subscription fee. Myself, it’s difficult to justify paying a subscription for an app that I will, in theory, use for the rest of my life (or until a new app or technology renders it unnecessary). (ie: $4.99/month sounds reasonable until I think—I might live another 40-50 years—which means $4.99 x 12 x 50 = ~$3,000!)
To wrap this up: Notion does it all. You can use the features you need to cater to your purpose without the features you don’t getting in your way. I honestly haven’t come across a page I haven’t been able to setup and create based on what I pictured in my mind. So versatile it’s crazy! Oh and did I mention it’s FREE?!
I’m guessing Notion will be bought by a Microsoft, Evernote, or other competitor in the near future. But I’m hoping the powers that be will protect this app and let it continue in its current form forever.
Thanks so much for making an app that is sincerely a game-changer to so many people’s daily workflows.Show lesstrentmorris
Almost perfect!
After a steep learning curve, Notion has quickly become the ultimate digital planner for me. As an undergrad, it’s taking the brunt of my stress from the oncoming assignments and exams into something more manageable. I absolutely love the little customizations in adding icons and headers, and honestly, the only thing I could ask for is synchronization with Google calendars? Since a lot of my day to day events are entered through there, it’d be nice to have it somehow linked to everything else on my notion as well.
My only real complaint would be to just please let us add an option to crop and move around the header positions on the app, but that’s mostly superficial (still tho, @ dev’s please please please add this option, ty in advance) and can be remedied by going onto the physical website on a computer.Show lesscatch up to the android ver
Make it a widget
It’d be cool and handy. Color in calendars !ZABA ZOO
The maybe bullet journal app
Daunting and confusing to use at first opening; bit of a steep learning curve. Once I got used to working with “blocks” and figured out the app’s system of organizing data works, I was able to start playing with the app successfully. Creating personal templates was the hardest part, but once I got them to work, the app is a suitable and potentially excellent way to keep and maintain a bullet journal. Lots of potential for being a personal database, bujo, recipe book, handy reference tool. I like the desktop app very much and how it syncs quickly with iOS apps.
I wish they had more export page sizes like A5, Executive, and half-size to print pages and place them in smaller binders. Also, better printing capabilities from both iOS and MacOS apps for those of us still in-love with analog journals and notebooks. And, guys, seriously, the premium PDF subpage document export feature is essential. Please rethink making this available to all or as an add-on to a personal account. Seriously. Wow.Show lessAAWalter737
Everything I’ve been looking for
I rarely write reviews but I think this app needs way more credit. Its everything I’ve been looking for, a combo of trello, google calendar, and the IOS notes app. You can customize it for your specific needs and there’s so much you can do with it! I would suggest checking out a few YouTube videos to see how people use it to get an idea because it might be overwhelming at first but once you get a hang of it, it will organize your life.Show lessHslhs2012
The mobile app is a disaster
I never used the desktop version but the first time I tried the mobile version to simply draft an email which I wanted to copy and paste to sometime else, guess what, I wasn’t even allowed to copy the entire email and ended up painstakingly copy pasting paragraph after paragraph for 20mins something that could have been done in 20 seconds with any generic note taking app... I deleted the app immediately after this terrible experience. If a team can’t even get something as basic as “copy all” right - I just don’t think they deserve a second chance - clearly no one is thinking about the actual users experiences. What’s the point of developing all the fancy features one almost never use??? Paying YouTubers to say rave things about the app isn’t gonna save you from not doing the basic things right.Show lessJoy.zhq
The app works Online only not Offline
My experience with this app unlike Evernote which I have been a passionate user for now a decade, yes 10 years.
Now the greatest fear in Notion app is I will loose all my content on my devices as there could be an ulterior motive of the app developers to not allow the user to use content when they fit right.
What happens is in Notion on my iOS devices iPad and iPhone when I am in the app and want to access some content the app asks for a user name and password.
Which is fine and good for security, but when I have no internet connectivity my password cannot be sent and verified by Notion. So I cannot use Notion and so can’t use the contents when needed.
So this app is an online app, it would not work if it is offline. As it is just like a web page in a app form.
Now my whole purpose of an app unlike Evernote is defeated if I want to access content any time any where without internet access. For Evernote for example I always save all my travel notes and maps so that when no internet connectivity is there I can use the notes, refer, edit add on the go.
The greatest plus of Notion, I like is the format and design of the app the key being a database of my contents which can be easily accessible, searched, sorted and filtered.
But this feature again I cannot use as when required is useless.Show lessabhim8
So much depth to this
This app is great. Work and home this has everything I need to keep organised 💯. There is so much you can do with it I’m just really impressed, well done!Grayalas
Loving it so far
I don’t often leave reviews but I just love the initiates of this company and being a student and having something affordable Ir early appreciate this app! The one thing that I would love is to be able to have a separate notes section similar to GoodNotes where I can import documents and use my Apple Pencil and write on PDF / import PDF such as my lectures notes and make notes on them, please bring this in! Otherwise i am loving this app, it was a great alternative to asana and similar apps I was trying It’s just easy to use!
I would love if you could also bring in a widget and a better app to use on ipad and phone.
Also like click up being able to time track with the click of a button instead of integrating with other time tracking applicationsShow lessLaylal999
