Notion Reviews

An ALL-IN-1 tool and it's Flexibility and collaborative features makes it perfect in any workspace designed for any specific goals. AMAZING 100%! Specially the eliminations of multiple apps in one seetings.

The navigation makes it unique to learn carefully.

I have so many favorite Notion Features! I will try to list them all. Some things I love: The templates - you can purchase templates or find some for free. (You can also learn to create your own templates. I am not that advanced yet, but one day when I have time I'd love to learn more). I absolutely LOOOOVE the search feature and utilize it pretty much daily (multiple times a day even). This saves SO much time. Think about it: with a physical notebook, you have to scan the pages to find specific information (when studying, looking for a specific recipe you’ve written down, etc) but with Notion? Just use the search bar to search a phrase, term, whatever you're looking for, and bam: there it is!!
I could go on and on about all of the features I love about Notion, but I'll include a list of the ways I use it daily: daily journaling with the built-in journal feature (I customized it to my preference), checklists (to help me organize daily, weekly, monthly tasks), the Pomodoro Technique template is awesome (set a timer and really focus on each task at hand!); I regularly use the "Toggle" feature so that my pages aren't too terribly long, I can open the toggle to see more information. I absolutely LOVE that you can embed YouTube Videos, webpages, PDFs, images and more right into Notion! This has helped me organize things so well! I love the "Reading" List! You can add books you'd like to read, you're currently reading, rate the book and include tons of info. I've taken it a step further an added my e-books, chapter summaries, etc to keep all of my book information together and easily assessible for quick refreshers at any time! I could honestly go on all day about all of the amazing, helpful, and time-saving features within Notion.

I honestly cannot identify much that I like least about Notion. So far I am loving each feature. As with anything, some things may take time to practice and figure out (an example is creating my own templates using formulas etc to meet specific need, but I'll work on that later when time allows). Overall, Notion is VERY intuitive and easy to use.

Notion allows me to build my own workspace that totally fits my needs. For example, I created a project management dashboard with linked databases, task trackers and meeting notes to help my team stay organized around a high-stakes product launch. On top of that, its ability to embed files, videos, and even other apps makes it extremely versatile.

Although it is powerful, but it can be overwhelming at first. It took me a couple of days to get validation of complex databases and relational properties down. There is also very limited offline functionality, which became a small headache on a flight where I had notes I wanted access to.

-Very handy when it comes to note taking
-Helps in organizing everything aesthetically and beautifully
-Highly Customizable
-Easily collab with other people
-Available on almost all devices
- 3rd party template availability

-Had to go through a little bit of a learning curve
-Mobile app kinda performed poorly at times
-Would've been nice if it had a chat feature to make collaborating in teams easier

Ease of use and cross-compatibility with other software like Asana, etc.

While the developers seem responsive to their users needs, non-critical but seemingly major items can take forever to be resolved

I started using Notion because I needed to organize my work tasks better. Soon, I realized that Notion allows me to plan my content strategy and social media calendar with extreme ease and clarity. The biggest benefit has been the ability to save inspirational material from around the internet without consuming storage space on my computer or phone. I’ve created tables and a calendar where I can track the progress of each of my projects.

Alongside Notion, I started using the Notion calendar, which can also sync with Google Calendar, for example. This calendar is, of course, synchronized with the project management table I created in Notion. This feature has also been extremely helpful. However, I would appreciate the ability to customize the calendar’s color scheme (it’s currently just gray), so that different events and reminders would stand out more clearly.

I absolutely adore the whole database philosophy which allows me to collect data about things I own, things I know, ideas and other things I like to have in one place. The best thing is that I can nest any database (or a piece of it) everywhere I want.

There are two things I do not enjoy. Time management could be improved, more into Asana/Clickup philosophy. Since it does not work this way, I use other app to manage my tasks even though I thought Notion could be one-in-all solution.
The other things is the impossibility to make notes unhierarchical, which I truly like. But well, Notion way of working is deeply hierarchical.

Notion's flexibility and customization options are what I like most. It allows users to create and organize information in a way that suits their needs, whether for personal projects, team collaboration, or even complex workflows. The ability to integrate different types of content like text, images, databases, tasks into one platform and then link them.

Notion can be slow with large pages, has a steep learning curve, and offers limited offline access. Also it sometimes fail to last locally saved copy

Notion is my company's internal source for everything, such as co-worker profiles, most used documents, task management, company handbook, work events, and payroll information.

As a non-tech, non-design person, I found it challenging to choose the right templates and set up the most user-friendly design for my team. There are pages I have built that do not get used because of how I have designed them.

What I like most about Notion is its incredible flexibility and versatility. Whether I’m organizing notes, managing projects, creating databases, or even drafting documents, Notion handles it all seamlessly in one platform. The ability to customize workspaces with templates, embeds, and links makes it a powerful tool for both personal and professional use. I particularly love how I can build a fully personalized system tailored to my specific needs, whether it’s for task management, tracking goals, or simply jotting down ideas. The collaborative features are also a standout, allowing teams to easily share and edit content in real-time, making it a fantastic choice for group projects.

While I have found the platform to be very useful right out of the box, some people who I've shared notes with seemed to have trouble getting the hang of it. So, some users might find the interface overwhelming due to the sheer number of options and layouts available.

I work in a creative field and I like being able to keep all of my writing and project notes in one area. I like the ability to write in markdown so I can keep headings, text, lists and everything else in the document and quickly write it without having to go search through menus for the correct selection. I've used a little bit of the project management functionality as well and that can be convenient to stay within the same platform rather than switching back and forth.

The project management tools are ok but not as straightforward as I would like. Other PM tools like Monday.com, Asana or Clickup have more robust project management capabilities and I've found myself drifting back to them rather than spend the time to learn how to build out Notion to fit what I want it to do.

I get the philosophy of Notion is that you can build it to do whatever you need it to do but I don't really have time for that. Nor do I have the desire to learn how to build those systems within Notion. I just need something that works so I can get my work done more efficiently. It's sometimes easier to go find a pre-built tool than figure out how to modify one in Notion.

What I love most about Notion is that I can easily do project collaborations with my business partners, we can simply edit or arrange the page to our preference. I love how I can easily customize a page in whatever I like but mostly, I love how it can help you get your tasks done and know which one to prioritize or which ones need less attention, it helps a lot with time management as well.

I’ve been using Notion for 4 years now and I can't say anything against it because I only loved it ever since!

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
