Leave a Review Notion
Misleading.
I’ve gotten used to the app and I appreciate adding the feature that computers have always had: having columns.
But the app doesn’t look nearly as clean as the pictures here in the showcasing of the app. On all my images and embedded stuff it says ‘view original’ in the top right. Every. Single. One. It’s unfortunate because this place has the potential to be so clean and sleek.
Another thing: I hate how my embedded soundcloud song/playlist asks me to play in browser, another thing that weights down on the sleekness of design this whole app is going for. It’s so clunky. You’ve all fixed things before so I definitely have hope, but please fix these basic things before bothering to add new stuff!Show lessSonicPrincess
LOVE NOTION, but I wish that there was an offline option. (It’s ALMOST perfect…)
I have been using notion for a while now, and it’s wonderful!! Everything I could ever need for managing personal, academic, and work tasks! However, I wish they would come up with an option for premium users to be able to download certain necessary pages. I am without wifi & internet access often enough that it’s disheartening to use notion because 50% of the time, I cannot access what I need. I am not asking to have entirety of my notion available offline, just 1 or 2 necessary pages at a time!! If they were able to make this an option, I think notion would be absolutely flawless!! For the time being though, it’s not quite reliable enough for my most important data & information. 😟Show lessPizzarabbit
LOVE Notion, mobile app needs work!
I’m currently falling in love with notion. It’s complex but it does so much! The mobile version unfortunately doesn’t hold up to the desktop app. There are just too many little oversights that need to be tightened up. Also, task/to-do items aren’t handled very well. Some sort of happy medium between a database/list and a dumb checklist on a page would be great! Todoist handles this really well! Also when I swipe from the left side of the screen I expect to open the menu, not go “back”. This behavior is inconsistent and not useful. It’s acting like a web browser when it should be going back one level in a very defined and expected manner. Other than that I’m loving the app. It’s the most extensive and feature-rich note app I’ve ever found. Keep up the good work!Show lessJustinRez
New Update is Backwards and Bad.
This app is great and I use it regularly but trying to use it with the new update is more annoying than whatever you were trying to achieve with it. I can't drag and drop pages on the main tab anymore, the keyboard now covers up the screen instead of allowing you to see the text fully, and the feature where it starts on the main tab instead of on the last page you were on or a selected page is extremely annoying and unnecessary.
Everytime I get this update, I just delete the app and redownload it so I can get the previous version of the app instead. Please either fix these issues, give a set of toggle-on options in settings to enable these settings, or get rid of the update all together. I love this app and use it for nearly everything that involves writing down notes but this update is just awful and makes it harder to use the app.Show lesshttp.lemon🍋
Massive productivity boost
I got back into using the desktop version of Notion a few weeks ago and got instantly hooked by how flexible and adaptable it is. Plus all the new and innovative templates I’m seeing pop up all over the web.
Then I remembered that Notion has a mobile app and boom. Productivity and a second (or third) screen all in one!!!
My one gripe is that it doesn’t fully cache all your pages to allow for a full offline experience, but as a developer I know how hard a job that is so 🤞it’ll be in a future update along with more options to format content.Show lessTechdojo
Swipe to type unsupported
iOS has a built in swipe to type feature in the keyboard. When you initiate swiping to typing the three words which are suggested to the user change. Normally the three suggested words are suggestions of what you might want to type next, during swipe to type they instead become three suggested rewrite options. Instead of being autocomplete suggestions they work in reverse by rewriting what was already written in case the system picked the wrong word for you. This rewriting is completely unsupported in the notion app. Something in the app is overriding the system defaults. I understand the need to override default behavior in order to bake some notion hooks into those events but please fix this bug that is resulting in notion breaking swipe to type.Show lessCptn.

good, but needs more improvement
I am more than satisfied with the design of this app - I am in love with it. with huge variety of editing features for typing and, for me, who wants to use app for regular notes it is just the best I could ever wish for.
but -
I've got a problem, so whenever I want to edit something in the block, I can't. any option I try to choose is not clickable and it fixes only when I restart an app. (Ipad user). besides it, there's nothing that could even remind or give a hope for handwriting option - it is subjective and optional, though I am not the one with same opinion. continuing further, I've read a lot of cons that people experience, and I agree with much of them.
but the overall experience and tasks I can do with this app is really, really good. and I am not deleting it for this reason.Show lessdanheem
Love the app but needs key improvements
I’m a bit of a Notion fan, I love it as an alternative to my iPhone notes and a place to organise resources, ideas and journal entries. I just have a few opportunities for improvement with the app:
1. I wish it had offline support for PDF’s and linked webpages/inserts (even just a copy/screenshot version of the page or PDF that’s viewable and kept on the database somehow would be so helpful). It’s quite annoying being on a flight or somewhere with bad reception and not being able to access PDF’s or web inserts.
2. I would love more than 3 default fonts and more ways to customise and add creative flair and elements (change the background of the page, GIF support or in built symbols as examples)
Thanks for the ability to use this app for free and hope whoever’s reading this has a good day :)Show lessFifiand
Great application, Terrible mobile app
I’ve been using Notion for a few months now and finally got a system down that works for me. This program is seriously so great for personalizing your digital workspace. I’m using it for so many things and I love it rn.
That said, the mobile app is pretty sub-par. So many basic functions are completely unavailable or disfunctional. It’s very frustrating trying to organize/restructure/redesign anything through mobile and it’s also kinda buggy which is such a shame because it has so much potential.
A few pros and cons
PROS:
- Super Versatile
- Customizable
- Database handling
- Free to use most essential features
CONS:
- Mobile App functions poorly
- Steep learning curve
- Customer Service kinda stinks (I get the feeling they probably prioritize paying/business customers over everyone else, which tbh is fair but still a bit frustrating)
- accessibility features pretty negligent
SUGGESTIONS:
- make mobile more functional
- more color choices; honestly, more ways to customize page/feature appearances in general would be nice
All said and done, thank you for the hard work y’all have put in to make this super powerful program free to use. That in and of itself is pretty amazing. While there’s always room for improvement, I have been enjoying my experience for the most part and look forward to the future!Show lessapmanda
