Powerful and Flexible, but Ultimately Confusing the Collaborate on
What do you like best about the product?
It's a really powerful platform, and the decision to model all elements similarly (databases, lists, paragraphs, views, etc) provides the user with a lot of flexibility in how to use it. For personal use, I'm a huge user of org-mode, and I see Notion as a very similar project that solves a lot of the problems that org-mode works around.
What do you dislike about the product?
The structure of notion is really confusing - because pages can be linked, it's not clear what a page's parent and subpages are. Traditional wikis, like Confluence, make it much easier to know where a conceptual "section" lives. For instance, say I wanted to navigate around my release engineering team's wiki. In Confluence, they would have a home page, and relevant sub-pages for various topics. In Notion, they may have a home page, but that home page will link out to other areas of notion, as well as subpages, and it's not clear which is which. The "boundaries" around sections in Notion are not clear, and that leads to difficulty organizing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is my company's primary documentation engine and is where the vast majority of our knowledge base lives today. it is used for team pages, status updates, proposal documents, and even some dashboards.
Notion is THE biggest game changer when it comes to managing business & life!
What do you like best about the product?
Before Notion my business & personal admin were in chaos and although I tried several similar apps previously, nothing ever worked for me until I started using Notion. Being able to customize pages & layouts in so many ways has meant that I can finally create a system that works for me - I love it so much that I tell everyone to go & try it & use it as a platform to work with my clients too!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are very few things I don't like about Notion! However, I would like to be able to change the background colours of different pages/ sections in order to make the content easier to read & section off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I didn't think I could rate Notion any higher but the new AI feature has undoubtedly changed this! Using AI as part of my Notion workflow has meant that I can save time, work more effectively, get support with my writing style & tone, & best of all Notion AI can do research for me and break down information into bullet points & summaries. As someone who struggles with these types of tasks but needs to complete them regularly as part of my workflow, Notion AI is super valuable to me & now I've got it I don't think I could go without!
Tough learning curve but now I'm obsessed
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to fully customize each page, database view, and blocks. I am constantly looking for new "tasks" and organizational apps, and the fact that I can make those edits myself is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, there was a tough learning curve. I consider myself to be quite tech-savvy, and I understood Notion quite quickly, but in order to fully take advantage of the program, you need to put in some time and energy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Notion as a task & project manager for work, as well as a knowledge base and central location for personal information. I am also currently using Notion to plan my novel.

Project management, note taking and create some context for my videos.
Notion is my go-to life management app
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the ability to organize my thoughts, meetings, schedules, and notes in Notion.

I dislike the slow load times. Because of the tremendous amount of data I have stored in Notion, it sometimes takes me some time to find what I'm looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion's AI writing assistant helps me with all my writing tasks. Everything from emails to invitations, and even poetry!
The way’s Notion have helped me in Highschool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way in which Notion allows me to organize my work in a thorough manner. This organization keeps my on top of tasks, deadlines, reports, essays, and so much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Something I do dislike about Notion is the difficulty in migrating from another organization app. Notion is complicated, and does take time to get used too, but once you do, it becomes amazing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving my problem in lack of organization. Notion always me to keep all my homework in one place, thus, not losing any - and always completing it on time.
Very well balanced AI
What do you like best about the product?
Freedom of expression
There is no right or wrong way to use it.
But I didn't ready your privacy statement yet, hopefully my documents are mine and stored responsibly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Too easy to get lost in an ocean of possibilities.
Would be good if you have a learning centre to give me utility of the product.
Notion is always with me but I use Apple notes. They have offline access.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None.
It's what I struggle with. Since it's endless with possibilities I don't know how to achieve something out of it.
If there is a way to extract utility please let me know

Notion keeps my life on track.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy being organized, but sometimes I struggle to begin. I really appreciate Notion's in-app templates and tools that simplify the process of creating pages, tables or anything I need. The interface and design are simple and user-friendly, which helps me organize complex or word-heavy information in a clear and readable manner. Also, the in-app emoji helps make things fun! Especially for work docs.
What do you dislike about the product?
When dealing with tables that contain numerous columns, I often struggle to locate or find the scroll bar at the bottom, which can be time-consuming in some instances. It's more of a minor annoyance than anything and not a dealbreaker at all. Although, I wonder if there's a more efficient solution to enhance that aspect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really made my life so much easier when maintaining organization, monitoring project progress + staying on top of tasks, and creating a space for collaboration across teams. I appreciate the flexibility to personalize pages using the various available tools. For instance, I can incorporate documents, tables, checklists, and more into a single page. I'm so much less stressed now that I have the ability to centralize all projects and easily link them to other applications such as google drive, etc.
Best for life & work - it's my second brain
What do you like best about the product?
That it's robust & fully customizable to fit your needs, and if you aren't a notion expert there are thousands of shareable templates to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes it's so customizable that you don't know what the best way to go about setting up a database is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
keeping everything in one place, summarizing meeting transcripts, managing my workflow & organizing it.
Best UI for LLM AI Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it allows for me to interact with LLMs with suggested prompts in an organized interface. It has really boosted my productivity, creativity and organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I'm unable to syncronize it with Apple Notes since that is where most of my thoughts and notes exist. It would be great to be able to connect the two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the problem that I was originally encountering when using ChatGPT was that it was a seperate interface with an blank prompt box. Being able to organize my interactions with AI into my own sheets and folders, with the suggsted prompts is very helpful. It has boosted my performance and daily output.
