This app is game-changer. They mean it when they “all-in-one” workspace
Please please please don’t ever get rid of this app—I’ve built too much! I cannot put into words how much I love this app. It’s so incredibly versatile meaning you can use it for organizing your files, taking notes, writing assignments, to-do list, reminders, etc. you name it. Basically, it’s google drive, Evernote, calendar, journal and Todoist, but centralized in one place. You can access it on all platforms (MacOS, iPhone, ipad), but I just prefer to use the web version on my devices since it can be kinda difficult to move blocks around or adjust its size on the iOS version.
Notion would completely replace all my productivity apps if they would just incorporate a handwriting feature and maybe more typography options.
Overall, I love this app and can’t believe how I was able to live without it for so long. As a ADHD graduate student, this app saved my life.Show less442nd
Good app, unreliable performance
I really enjoy the features of this application. However, I have run into a problem multiple times now where the app will refuse to open. I click on it and the loading screen pops up but then nothing happens no matter how long I wait. I’ve tried clearing my apps, restarting my device, updating the app if there are updates, but none of it helps the issue go away. The only way I have been able to resolve this issue when it occurs is by deleting and redownloading, which is far from convenient. I have noticed that multiple times when this issue occurred I was also playing a podcast from my device at the same time, but I can’t be sure if that has anything to do with it. If it does, clearing the podcast app and stoping the podcast does not help fix the issue anyway.
An additional issue that impacts my flow through the app is an inability to copy and paste multiple lines/blocks of text. This is possible from the desktop version but not on iPad.
I’d give 5 stars if it weren’t for these pernicious issues.Show lessThumderDrummer
Needs Widgets
I love the organization that Notion provides. I work as a programmer and the wiki’s you can create within Notion have helped me create guides for all the nitpicking commands we have to remember. It’s also extremely useful for keeping track of To-Do’s and quick notes. I have started experimenting using it as a calendar, but this is where it really falls short. I can not specify the time of an event on Notion’s calendar which sounds like a basic feature for any time-keeping application. Also, WIDGETS! I wish Notion had widgets on Apple devices so I could see my created tasks and calendars. It’s really hard to make this my end-all-be-all when it also lacks support for Apple Watch. If this could be better integrated with Apple devices, it’d have my full 5-stars.Show lessMisterTexas
Notion is great, but not on iPad
Been using Notion on my MacBook for years, without much issue. The experience on iPad, however, is extremely lackluster – not to mention limited – compared to the MacBook app. I find that odd, since the MacBook app is Electron based and the iPad app behaves like a WebView wrapper.
Keyboard shortcuts – even the sidebar ones – only work if you are actively inputting text. Many common shortcuts for text editing, like shift+tab and cmd+return either work sporadically or don’t work at all. The helper shortcuts (like holding cmd to view shortcuts) doesn’t work. The trackpad experience is also not great, but since Notion doesn’t use native components, I can’t really expect it to behave like in other apps.
I know it’ll get better with time, but it’s still jarring for the experience with the Magic Keyboard to vary so wildly between the first party productivity apps and Notion.Show lessu002a
