  • Room for Improvement

    I trust that Notion itself is a great productivity device because of what so many people have said online and otherwise. Those people, however, must have been using the web app on a laptop or desktop because it just does not work on this app. I use an iPad pro with a magic keyboard and apple pencil, and for me, Notion is cumbersome at best and nonfunctional at worst. Little issues pop up here and there like a cockroach infestation, one moment i can't select a backround color for my text--as in when I click the 'select background color' button it doesn't respond or closes within a second--the next moment I can't add in an element at all; not through typing '/', not through pressing the '+' button. This app will not work for you whatsoever if this is your only point of access for Notion, if you have an "actual" computer, though, you could theoretically edit your Notion on that and then use the app to view your pages, but that is ALL you should expect from it. I still intend to use Notion, but not on this app.

  • TEXT FONT SIZE

    Why cant we change a text font size? it’s a simple feature people need
  • Look no further if you’re looking to centralise your life.

    This is simply the best and only program you’ll need from taking ideas from concept to completion, organising your life, business and ideas, planning and actioning content.

    Literally anything you can think of that you want to do from a simple todo list to a full on content management system this is what you need.

    I can safely say, as a video production entrepreneur, that this is the best software I’ve ever seen and I don’t know what I’d have done or how disorganised I’d be without it.

  • A bug that happens to me a lot

    I use my iPad and phone connected to do a lot but I use a Bluetooth mouse and and keyboard with my iPad sometimes it will refuse to let me type with my keyboard it pops up for a second and then disappears I hate having to turn my keyboard off then type out what I want with my iPad keyboard and then turn it back on it takes up a lot of time and it’s hard to type on the iPad compared to the Bluetooth keyboard and it takes up time alone to use the iPad keyboard I hope you can figure out the issue and fix it because I’ve only ever had the problem with notion and nothing else

    Edit: I love the app and the ways it works for free users like my self it doesn’t hold you back to the point that’s it’s an inconvenience and not worth using it but there’s still a good reason to buy stuff but I just wanted to add that I highly recommend this app to everyone and it’s to the point I sound the a sales person it takes a little to figure out but once you do it’s great I have so many good things to say about it i would be here typing for hours but I will say I would recommend making a test account figuring out how to work the app then delete that account and then starting fresh so you don’t have any random things you did in the beginning I did that and it worked out great for me :)

  • App needs improvement!

    I love Notion and I have no problems with it in terms of its primary functions: planning, lists, journal, note-taking, organization and all that. I recently got an iPad and been using Notion with it instead of my laptop, and although it does the basic functions, it is still far from being as efficient as the desktop application. I am experiencing a lot of glitches such as unable to delete blocks. It only works again when I go on multitask > remove Notion > reopen Notion. My biggest issue is that when I switch apps and return to Notion, it suddenly goes on Mobile mode which is all zoomed in and hard to use. Again, I have to multitask and reopen Notion which has gotten annoying to do again and again. I have my rotation off so I’m not sure why it happens.

    Also, I would like to see a to do list widget because I use Notion for my weekly and daily planning and I was hoping I wouldn’t need another app to list my everyday tasks.

  • the most beautiful app I’ve ever used

    I love this app so much, I can’t rave about it more. I use it for timetables, schedules, to do lists, folders, planning, writing, and for University notes. I am always showing my friends the colour co-ordinated tables I’ve made. It is maybe the best app I have.
    thank you notion creaters! 📔
  • Love the program, but the app is glitchy AF!

    This program has really been something I've been needing in my life for ages! I'm using it as a digital bullet journal, to store all of my long-term reference information and collections.

    What I hate about it though, is that the columns (which I use a LOT) are glitchy AF!!! I'm CONSTANTLY having to reboot the app, as they revert back to no columns (it doesn't lose the desired column format during this process, it just switched back and forth between the desired number of columns and no columns - aside from rebooting the app, you don't need to fix your columns).

    It's beginning to drive me crazy! I use the columns not only for visual organisation and flow, but to sort actual information, so when they mess up I find it really confusing! Not to mention I'm neurodivergent, so when my brain is struggling to process information it's even worse!

    If this could get fixed, I'd probably give the app 5 stars.

  • It deleted everything

    Everything was going perfectly and I had a lot of different shifting scripts and stuff that took me days and days to make then one day I open notion and it’s all deleted. everything. Gone. Forever. I tried exiting the app and going back in and it didn’t work, I tried updating it, I tried logging out and back in and nothing works. It’s gone.

  • Lacking functions that available on PC/Mac

    So currently I’m using Notion on MacBook, and it is very good, so I want to try to use it on my iPad since iPad is much easier to handle to university. However, I found that the iPad version is hard to use since some function are missing (like link, inline equation, etc.). If you receive this review, please add functions that available on PC/Mac to iPad, thank you!

  • In App Purchase Problem for Notion AI add on!!!

    The app gives you a prompt to do an in app purchase of the Personal Pro subscription, to use the Notion AI features. After upgrading to Personal Pro, the Notion AI features are still not available. The app again requests that you do an in app purchase of the Personal Pro subscription (which you have already done). When researching the problem by looking at he the Notion website under pricing, you will find that Notion AI is a separate, add on purchase for $10 per month. Notion AI is not available as an option, as an in app purchase in iOS. Nor can your purchase a Notion AI add on through their website, as your iOS subscriptions are handled only through Apple. I find the in app purchase prompt to the Personal Pro subscription very misleading, when reaching the free use of Notion AI. I would be VERY HAPPY to purchase the Notion AI add on for $10 per month, but Notion makes this impossible as an iOS user. Notion in general is great, but I currently have to use another AI; copying and then pasting the results into my Notion database. I guess Notion is not interested in revenue from their iOS customers.
