Notion Reviews

Flexibility to create what you need. The AI tool is a game changer as far as recalling info within your database.

It does have a steep learning curve, although there is training available, and heaps of resources online, it still takes some time to get your head around it if you have not used a system like this before.

Notion is such a robust software. There are SO many things that you can do within it. It eliminated my need for several other apps, and even saved me money in being able to cancel them.

It can be a bit overwhelming at first- templates definitely help!

The ability to create databases quickly to store informations instead of using Excel for example.

Notion is EXTREMELY slow if you are using it to store a lot of data like 2000+ pages

The support, it is very very very VERY difficult to get some one AND it is EXTREMELY difficult to report a bug.

Each time we report a bug or something like this, the support is like a robot, they ask ALWAYS the same questions like "What is your device please?" even if I precise it before and I say it is the same issue on each device

Notion is the superior notes taking app. A few of my favorite features are the ability to organize withing projects and tasks, the ability to have different kind of notes (one type for personal notes, and another to track tasks), the ability to publish notes to the web without needing a specific domain, and the ability to share notes with others on your team and have them update easily.

Notion does take a little while to learn, but once you understand how the system works, it's excellent. I use it for my personal notes as well as project tracking with my team.

Minimalistic and easy to navigate interface even with so many features and appreciable.

Lack of offline mode is an issue. This makes its difficult to use notion in remote areas with no internet connection.

Notion has a lovely layout with the left sidebar containing all the different pages, projects, tasks, etc. A little silly, but I love that we can add banners and emojis to the title and make the "virtual workplace" our own. Its great to be able to integrate other apps into Notion. We added our Gdrive, Slack, and Figma into the space and it functioned well. There are also ways to share specific pages with guests, and its possible to have private pages, separate from the team.

As lovely as the layout is, our Notion became cluttered and messy fast because we didn't quite know where to add what (e.g. tasks, projects, pages, etc.). It takes quite a bit of knowledge and forethought to organise a team around it. I also don't like that there are very limited fonts and typography. So anything that we export to PDF doesn't look part of our brand and we have to re-do it on another software. Also, when we embed documents in our pages, we don't quite have the same visibility (i.e. we have to click on a specific page to see what documents are linked to it). Maybe that's the way its intended to be, but I found it a little annoying and often just used Gdrive instead.

It is easy to get started in Notion and very intuitive. Creating attractive interfaces and database views is relatively simple. I appreciate being able to mix multiple media and data sources into one document.

There are so many possibilities with Notion it can be challenging to find the solution or template that will actually meet your need.

It's so versatile and easy to use! All-in-one software for productivity, notes, and more.

A bit slow and pretty bad on mobile and iPad.

I like that Notion allows full customization in building the databases, and does not force you into a pre-determined template like other project management systems. While the trade-off is more time spent up front learning how Notion works and building out the templates, it is worth it to have everything tailored to your business.

The biggest drawback was the time it took to build out our Notion databases, and figure out how we should do it. There was a learning curve, and we are continually figuring new things out. Also, we really wish Notion and Google Calendar would sync, because Notion's Calendar lacks the functionality and aesthetic qualities of Google.

Notion is a tool incredibly easy to use (thanks to its intuitive interface). Everything is clear and easy to grasp, even for beginners. It’s a true all-in-one tool, allowing for note-taking, task management, and project organization in one place. The standout feature compared to competitors is its flexible databases, which let you organize information however you like.

The main flaw of Notion is that there is no offline mode. Additionally, while it's simple for basic tasks, it can take some time to master its more advanced features, especially around databases.

For someone like me, juggling coding projects, college schedules, assignments, and extracurriculars like attending fests, Notion has been a game-changer. All aspects of my student life can be streamlined efficiently using the all-in-one workspace provided by Notion.

Notion is very flexible. I have created separate pages for my timetable, task management, and coding projects. Customizable templates made it easy to set up a weekly schedule or a Kanban board to track my project progress. The ability to link pages means that I can keep all relevant information—like assignment deadlines and project resources—just a click away.

For event planning, like attending or organizing fests, Notion's calendar view is invaluable. It lets me track deadlines, add details of events, and even embed media like posters or schedules for easy reference.

Its mobile app ensures I can access my tasks on the go, while the collaboration feature allows me to share notes or project updates with peers. The interface is sleek, and its drag-and-drop functionality makes organizing tasks almost fun.

Notion has made a slight learning curve worth it for transforming my workload; it balances academics with coding and fun. It is a must-have for students!

The biggest challenge faced as a student in steep learning curve is that it is extremely flexible, but you actually have to get to know how to customize it for what you want, be it timetable management or tracking assignments-you find it really frustrating trying to get through features of it and understanding how you can set up an efficient system when you are managing pretty busy student life.

Another drawback is its limited offline functionality. Not being able to access or update my notes or schedules without an internet connection can be inconvenient, especially during commutes or when Wi-Fi isn’t available.

Besides, Notion sometimes lags and especially slows down when working with large databases or pages filled with content, which hinders the workflow of doing fast updates before a class or an event. Despite all that, once it is installed, Notion is such a powerful app and effort to make.

One of the things I liked most about Notion is its incredible flexibility. Notion combines note-taking, task management, databases, and collaboration tools all in one platform.

What I liked least about Notion is its performance when handling large databases or complex pages. As the content grows, the application can become sluggish, especially on mobile devices.

Notion’s flexibility and comprehensive feature set are what I like most. It seamlessly integrates task management, project tracking, and collaboration tools in a single platform, making it incredibly efficient for both personal and professional use.

The learning curve for new users can be steep. While the platform is powerful, it can take some time to get accustomed to all its features and functionalities.

What I like most about Notion is its flexibility and ability to adapt to any kind of workflow. You can fully customize it to your needs, whether it's for project management, note-taking, or daily planning. Plus, the ability to collaborate in real time is incredibly useful for working as a team.

Sometimes, the number of features available can be overwhelming, especially for new users. Perhaps a gentler learning curve would be ideal to tap into its full potential more quickly.
