Comprehensive and Insightful, Yet Requires Effort
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Notion for managing my team and organizing meeting notes. I love that it provides the ability to have all my meeting notes in one place, with an AI summary and next steps feature. I also really like its comprehensive reach and consider it a knowledge management software that makes all the difference for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes a little difficult to integrate into clips and collection of future oriented activities. It requires some effort to set up, and its comprehensive nature demands intentionality to establish.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion keeps all my meeting notes in one place and provides AI summaries with next steps, enhancing organization and team management.
Customization That Perfectly Fits Our Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Notion is fully customizable compared to other similar apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love Notion Page structure but sometimes it complicates things at least for me. There is a novelty with apps like Obsidian where I can easily capture a single note but in Notion its a page which feels heavy. It might be more of a psychological thing when it comes to these note apps where I lean towards traditional single note structures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is one of the best collaborative note taking apps on the market and I have used pretty much all of them. We use it at our firm to keep the design team in sync. It is only two of us but it helps with meeting and project notes. We are also going to be using the AI integration instead of one-off modal chats with free ai tools like ChatGPT. That way we can build shared workflows in our AI processes going forward.

Simplicity and Aesthetic Appeal for Solo Users
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Notion for organizing my life and school tasks. The ability to create a page for anything is great. I really appreciate its simplicity and how the aesthetic and workflow are easy on the eyes. Notion makes organizing more fun and organized without being overwhelming. The initial setup was easy, even though there was a learning curve, but after two years, I've definitely picked up skills along the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Notion Labs focused more on individual users such as myself. They have completely pivoted to only pioneering their services to large-scale teams and startups, and I feel like individual users such as myself are being left behind.

Flexible Yet Overwhelming for Some
What do you like best about the product?
I mainly use Notion for task planning, note-taking, and tracking goals. Notion solves the problem of scattered information for me by keeping everything in one organized system, which helps me stay focused and reduces mental clutter. What I like most about Notion is its flexibility; I can structure it exactly the way my brain works rather than being forced into a fixed system. It's simple on the surface but powerful once you start customizing it. The feature of blocks is key, allowing me to mix text, checklists, databases, and links on the same page and rearrange them anytime. Databases are particularly useful because I can view the same information as a list, table, or calendar without rewriting anything. Blocks make it easy to build and change things quickly, and databases help turn simple notes into something structured, allowing me to filter, sort, and track progress. Together, they keep everything organized while staying flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside is that Notion can feel overwhelming at first because there are so many ways to set things up. It also depends heavily on an internet connection, so offline use isn’t great. Performance can slow down on very large databases. None of these are deal-breakers, but they’re areas that could definitely improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the problem of scattered information by keeping everything in one organized system. It helps me stay focused and reduces mental clutter.
Streamlined Organization, A Student's Essential
What do you like best about the product?
I really like using Notion because it lets me organize things into a database. I can have notes that are categorized, tagged, and are filterable and siftable, which makes it easy to summarize. The formatting is simple, straightforward, and helps me organize my life efficiently. It makes information accessible and summarizable for me, and also makes it easier to use overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the AI assistant had a voice mode. I bought it for the first time a few days ago to help me study for final exams. And it was useful. But I really wish I could talk to it. And I really wish also that it had history that could show up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to organize lectures and plan life. It lets me organize notes into a database with categorization, tagging, filtering, and summarizing. It's straightforward, easy to use, and helps make information accessible and easier to manage.
Awesome All-in-one collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
This can really be an all in one tool if you let it be. We use it for documentation and note taking, project management, client profiles. Really a collaborative tool

Sometimes it’s so open ended! Other than that it’s great

User-Friendly, Versatile, with Room for AI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion is very user-friendly and not intimidating, making it easy to learn. If I have any questions, I can just ask the Notion AI how to do something, and it helps me learn how to use it better. I also appreciate the simple minimalist layout. It can contain a lot of information clearly and visually. I like using the different workspaces for a visual representation of all my work in different layouts, like calendar form, checklists, and timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the AI aspect could be improved. When I ask it to create quizzes, it doesn't do it to the best of its abilities. It's not as detailed or difficult as I would like it to be. I also don't like that the AI cannot read or interpret any images that I insert, like graphs or labeled images, and it cannot answer questions based on them. It would be a good improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to easily search and organize my notes with AI. It helps color code and toggle notes, and I can share project spaces with my team for real-time access.
Streamlined Document Management with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Notion's interface and how it allows me to log in across different environments. It's great that when I edit something on my mobile, it reflects immediately on my system. The ecosystem is very good. I also appreciate the different kinds of file uploads they offer, which are quite eye-catching. Additionally, the setup was very easy and straightforward for me. I'd definitely give Notion a very high recommendation, a solid 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the left corner, when things are organized, I think if we add a scroll at the left side, it would be helpful. I have hundreds of documents and need to scroll towards the end. If there was an auto scroller or if last edited items were shown differently, it would be more helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for organizing knowledge bases and tracking document edits, which is great for handling the many documents we use for analysis and as a knowledge base.
