  • Custom font, size, and better calendars

    The app is great! It has so much potential to be many different things. I would say they need to refine the basics. You should be able to change fonts of text per line not just whole page. It would also be nice if they included more fonts to pic from besides the 3 available choices. Then the side is an issue. The only way to change text size is to use header menus but it’s limited as they are preset to certain sizes. It would be nice if we could choose 12 or 14 or 26 a numeral value like all other apps. Lastly the calendar data base could use a rework. It seems very basic and doesn’t have essentials like adding repeating events. You also can’t subscribe to calendars so holiday calendar isn’t even included.

  • Best notes app!!

    I’ve been trying several different notes apps for a while to try and figure out which has the best and most diverse functionality. Notion is by far the best one in my opinion. As someone who makes soooo many notes and works on them each day, there is so much you can do in Notion to keep things organised.

    Even now that I love it I’m find new and handy tool, like collapsible sections to put within my notes.

    On top of that the team has responded to all of my queries within the day and have been of great help. 10/10 👌

  • One of the best pieces of software I’ve used!

    So, I was on the hunt for a digital planner to track my goals, plan for the day, week, month, year, keep a journal etc. as paper planner was just not working for me.
    All the preset digital planners I found did not meet my needs, but then I came across Notion, and oh my goodness - what a revelation!
    I think for me it was the flexibility to design a layout and format exactly as I wanted. I can create pages, drop assets (or “blocks”, as they call them) onto any page, and then customise their view.
    (For those that know how to build MS SharePoint pages by creating “apps” and then embedding these on pages, Notion works using the same idea).
    I’ve been able to create calendar views for long term goals, to-do lists, habit trackers, a journal, daily wins, and create goal setting functions so easily, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what this software can do.
    My only recommendation would be to have easy integration of personal calendars (e.g. Google Calendar).
    Notion has completely changed the way I track and organise my life and goals, and even into my second month using it, I am still adding new functionality to my planner.
    Thank you Notion, for being the software I never knew I couldn’t be without!

  • Wow, just wow!

    Notion has just cut so much rubbish out my life, literally. I’m a developer and cyber security enthusiast, note taking and organisation are a must I can now take all my notes and keep them extremely organised, write tutorials quickly, brainstorm projects and soo much more Even quickly help or guide someone online and share that with them It’s amazing what you can actually add to a note or turn it into, and then also share. I have paid for multiple other tools for months that cost 5x the amount for one alone Notion is easily a 5 star project. #macuser 💚

    The fact that I can keep my own diaries, as well is brilliant. Brilliant for those on courses, or codecamps. I have used on iPhone, MacBook no problems at all

  • Updated version faster to load but….

    I love notion and use it across multiple devices. The updated version is much faster to load, which is great. But there be version has also made it impossible to move todo or list items on mobile. When I’m moving tasks up and down my todo lists it triggers the keyboard over and over again (flicking on and off) making it impossibly hard to rearrange anything. Wishing I didn’t update at this point as I would have preferred the slower load times!

  • great app - just here to mention a really annoying bug

    sometimes I can't edit titles and it's really weird. The app is kinda janky sometimes but everything can always improve. just wanted to express my distaste with not being able to edit the title of my page. and this happens like every time i'm on the app to at least one page or something i don't have specifics i just notice because it's really inconvenient and annoying to have that happen every time I use the app.
    In general the app is very worth using and has a wide range of utility, while also being a free resource. Very useful for organization of a wide range of things in one place, which is something that's really useful for me.

  • One year review from a college student

    Overall I love Notion, it’s my favorite app because I can use it for my personal and university life. I love how many different tables and things I can add and customize. What needs to be improved is changing the default font, and maybe add a few more fonts. I like having all parts of my notion the same font, but it’s annoying to have certain pages not be the font I want, because full page calendars and tables can’t be changed, and notes within the calendar or tables have to be changed individually and that’s really annoying to have to go in and change everything. My biggest note to improve is the default font, that’s it. I love using Notion for literally my life.

  • Notion changed my life

    I’ve never written a review for an app, I simply never felt a need to. Notion on the other hand since I started using it I’ve been telling everyone I know about it. This is THE perfect app for me it’s everything I would’ve thought of putting in a note taking, self organization, even a collaborative piece of software. It’s basically the Swiss army knife of note taking apps. It helped me recalibrate my life when I was feeling overwhelmed by the mass amount of information I was receiving and there’s just something about the cover images of the Met that they use that just relaxes me. It feels as if this app was created specifically for me. One last thing is the fact that it’s cross platform meaning when I get home and go on my windows PC I can see all the notes I’ve been taking on the go from my MacBook or if I have a list I want to check out really quickly while walking I can seamlessly use my IPhone to look at the Notion app. Thank you for creating such an amazing piece of software, I will be using this for a long long time

  • Truly game-changing

    I use this app every day, countless times a day. I regularly wonder what would happen to my brain if the internet was out for a prolonged period and I couldn’t access Notion. I started out using basic pages for note-taking, but it quickly became clear that I could create templates for my weekly work tasks and personal projects in almost no time at all, customized to how I work. Now all my crap lives in this app, and it honestly gives me so much peace of mind knowing if I need to remember to do something or want to look something up, I just have to jot it down in Notion or do a search, and I can find it without a second thought. I will say, though, after years of using this app, the thing that prompted me to write this looong thing is that Notion inexplicably changed the color of their checkboxes. To a normal person this wouldn’t be a big deal, but their original sky blue is one of my favorite colors and I have come to associate it with the calm you feel when crossing things off your list. Now, the new checkbox blue is more harsh, and the vibe is *decidedly* different. Take it from an over-user — y’all should change it back, please!

  • Love it but don’t love being logged out!

    Notion is the perfect app for me to write down my opinions on dramas or movies, in an organized way in which I can understand and see everything the way I imagine it. The sad thing about Notion, which is the only thing I dislike about Notion, is that I’m always logged out if I don’t use the app after months. I forget which account I have all my organized notes in, so I keep having to delete the app entirely and redownloading it again.

    It would be great if that error was fixed. Then Notion would be a perfect 10. I still rate the app 5 stars because it has so many nice options to keep my notes organized. The app itself deserves 5 stars but of course minimal errors still matter and should be better!
