What do you like best about the product?

Notion is easy to navigate and very simple to understand. An easy learning curve lets us spend more time actually working instead trying to figure out how to use our documentation platform.

What do you dislike about the product?

I cannot think of anything that I dislike about Notion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notions helps us to store our documentation in an easy-to-access place, while also helping us find and understand how our documentation connects through the use of the AI.

What do you like best about the product?

The AI meeting agent is likely one of the best meeting note takers and topic aggregators I have ever encountered.
The use of database features appears to be the dominant feature in Notion AI.

What do you dislike about the product?

The ease of use is awesome, but it also allows for an incredible amount of disarray within your various pages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Combining the features of AI and databases has exponentially sped up the time it takes for me to manage large volumes of data.

What do you like best about the product?

Editing in real time — I love the new Formula AI feature! It’s truly been a lifesaver. The Document Hub is also fantastic. I think a lot of people are a bit intimidated by Notion because it can be used in so many different ways, but once you learn it, it’s so, so awesome.

What do you dislike about the product?

Awful printing experience. I need to be able to print tables for meetings, but I’m currently using a snipping tool to do so. This is not efficient, and the text becomes difficult to read when the table is large. Tables should print as cleanly and easily as charts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing priorities across the team in many different ways.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that it is easy to organize and record things

What do you dislike about the product?

it can be a bit challenging to figure out, also it should have the ability to change font and text size

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I hate people typing in class and I have ADHD so its nice to be able to record and get a transcript

What do you like best about the product?

I already kept all my ideas, studies, concepts, practices, personal philosophies, and notes inside Notion. It's dangerously easy to plug it in to Notion AI and have it summarize everything into content that encompasses what I stand for and how that weaves into my work. I'm currently just using it for content creation ideation and drafting, but I'm blown away by the kind of results Notion AI has generated from my own ideas, not to mention the sheer volume it is capable of, so I can throw away the ones that don't feel right, and keep only the ones that align and can be refined and iterated upon.

What do you dislike about the product?

It likes a structure - understandably so. I try to tell it to be less structured and flow more naturally and differentiate more, but then it just comes up with a structure with sub-structures that makes it "seem" less structured. I don't know yet if it works lol. But it is a robot, and I think I'm asking it to not be, so maybe that's the problem haha.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collating, summarizing, and integrating my scattered notes, ideas, and concepts into presentable, shareable, understandable, somewhat cohesive content

What do you like best about the product?

1. Ease of Use

Notion achieves an impressive balance between robust features and straightforward usability. Its interface is sleek, modern, and highly intuitive, making it approachable for both newcomers and seasoned users alike. The drag-and-drop capabilities, markdown-inspired editing, and block-based layout offer a great deal of flexibility without introducing unnecessary complexity. Whether I’m putting together a basic to-do list or constructing a comprehensive project management dashboard, the experience remains smooth and intuitive throughout.

2. Meeting Notes and AI Integration

Taking meeting notes in Notion has truly transformed my workflow. Organizing notes by project or team ensures that everything stays relevant and easy to find. The use of templates streamlines the note-taking process, making it both consistent and efficient. On top of that, the integrated AI assistant boosts productivity by summarizing lengthy notes, proposing action items, and even handling text formatting. This significantly cuts down the time I spend on post-meeting documentation and follow-up tasks.

3. Calendar Integration

Notion’s calendar feature is both straightforward and effective. Its visual design is appealing, and it integrates seamlessly into my daily routine. I appreciate being able to connect calendar events with related notes or projects, set reminders, and monitor deadlines—all within a single workspace. Embedding multiple calendar views on a page, whether by project or team, greatly enhances my ability to manage time and plan ahead.

4. A Unified Knowledge Base

As a central repository for both my professional and personal information, Notion truly stands out. It accommodates a wide range of content types—documents, databases, task lists, wikis, and more—allowing me to keep everything organized in one location. I rely on it for everything from managing business workflows to maintaining personal journals and tracking hobbies. The robust search feature lets me find any information instantly, while the ability to link between pages helps me create interconnected knowledge systems that grow and adapt over time.

I use notion daily, almost even hourly as i store all my notes, todos as well as meeting notes in it. It was easy to integrate into my daily workflow and would be hard for me to go back.

What do you dislike about the product?

1. Desktop and Mobile Apps Are Just Web Wrappers

One of the most frustrating things about Notion is that its desktop and mobile apps are essentially just web wrappers. Although they look and behave much like the web version, they don’t offer the performance improvements or native features you’d expect from true standalone applications. This often leads to slower performance, increased memory consumption, and occasional syncing issues—especially when handling large pages or databases. Notion still has significant room for improvement when it comes to native app responsiveness and reliable offline functionality.

2. Underwhelming Mail App Experience

Notion’s attempt at integrating email feels a bit premature. While the idea of an all-in-one workspace is appealing, the current mail app falls short. It’s missing advanced filtering, tagging, and automation options that are standard in dedicated email clients. The interface comes across more as a basic viewer than a robust communication tool. If Notion continues to develop this feature, it could become something special, but at the moment, it’s not quite there.

3. Subscription Cost vs. Perceived Value

Notion’s pricing isn’t unreasonable, but for individuals or small teams, the subscription can be hard to justify—especially since the free version covers most core needs and similar features are available in other free tools. The Pro features, like unlimited guests, advanced permissions, and AI tools, are helpful but may not offer enough extra value unless you’re deeply committed to using Notion as your main workspace in various scenarios. For more casual users, the return on investment can feel questionable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Fragmentation of Tools

Before using Notion, I found myself constantly switching between different tools—Google Docs for writing, Trello for managing tasks, and separate apps for meeting notes, calendars, and knowledge bases. This fragmentation led to unnecessary friction, duplicated efforts, and information scattered across platforms.

Notion brings all of these functions together in a single, unified workspace. Now, I can handle documents, tasks, wikis, calendars, and meeting notes all in one place. This consolidation has significantly improved my focus, minimized context-switching, and made my workflows much more efficient.

⸻

2. Lack of a Central Knowledge Hub

Previously, important ideas, resources, and project information would often get lost in isolated apps or buried in lengthy email threads. There was no dependable or organized way to create and maintain a personal or professional knowledge base.

With Notion, I’ve been able to build a dynamic, searchable knowledge hub for both work and personal projects. The ability to link every page to another allows me to create structured systems of knowledge and easily revisit past ideas. This helps me stay organized, make more informed decisions, and retain what matters most.

⸻

3. Unstructured Meeting Documentation

My meeting notes used to be disorganized, difficult to locate, or spread across various tools. As a result, follow-ups were often missed, and documentation was rarely reviewed.

Notion’s meeting notes and AI features now enable me to capture discussions in real time, summarize them afterward, and convert them into actionable tasks. Everything is stored within the relevant project context, which ensures both transparency and accountability.

⸻

4. Disjointed Task and Time Management

Managing tasks separately from calendars and notes made it challenging to plan effectively and keep track of priorities.

With Notion’s calendar integration and linked databases, I can organize tasks and deadlines in one place. This gives me a clear overview of what’s happening and when, allowing me to allocate my time more wisely and avoid overcommitting.

⸻

5. Inflexible Systems

Traditional tools often required me to adapt to their rigid structures, rather than accommodating my own workflow.

Notion’s block-based, customizable environment lets me create exactly what I need—whether it’s a CRM, content tracker, reading list, or personal dashboard. This flexibility allows me to tailor Notion to fit my workflow, instead of the other way around.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion (ESPECIALLY now that it has the Notion Agents in the 3.0 version) is the single most useful software tool I have ever used aside from, MAYBE, the operating system.
It's unbelievably flexible, powerful, customizable and all of the rest. But the Notion Agent is an absolute game changer. Before, I was spread out across 4-5 different tools, including subscriptions to ChatGPT & Claude -- now BOTH of those are inside of Notion, and equipped NATIVELY to go and make changes to Notion.

Before, I was using Notion as my do-everything-tool - but I still needed to go to ChatGPT for Custom GPTs, Claude for Projects. So I kept finding myself exporting Notion pages as PDFs for the necessary context, then copy-and-pasting the content from ChatGPT back into Notion... and it was honestly pretty clunky.

Now having that all INSIDE Notion and being able to use 95% of the functionality I need from those platforms has been MIND blowing.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are very few downsides to Notion; are there features I wish they would add? Sure. Are there features I wish would function just a little bit differently? Maybe. But the functionality that IS there is absolutely top-of-the-line and it does a LOT of things at an elite level. Databases, automations, formulas, the flexibility of the software platform itself, etc.

Two things I'd like to see:
1. Continued database scalability performance improvements would be good.
2. Being able to paste more than 100 blocks at once, or create more than 100 blocks per API call would be HUGE.

But these are minor things.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's easier to talk about which problems Notion ISN'T solving for me. It's a short list.
I use it for all my personal stuff - Meal Planning, Shopping Lists, To Do list, journaling, habit tracking, even planning D&D Games!
I use it for all my work stuff - call notes, sales call tracking, knowledge base & reference info, task & project management, etc.

What do you like best about the product?

Helpful in cutting down administrative time taking notes for class and distilling key concepts into bullet points.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes lacks basic formatting seen more in Google Docs, Pages, etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Taking notes on homework

What do you like best about the product?

It is comprehensive and flexible. I am also able to connect it to Claude and get it to design everything for me which is fantastic.

What do you dislike about the product?

It is a bit hard to get used to it in the first place but once you start it is hard to live without it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is effectively my CRM plus meeting note taker. It is much better than my previous crm that didnt work properly. I can keep adding in new features.

What do you like best about the product?

The ease of use, and how intuitive it is. The AI minute taking is insanely good.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not much really, greater controls over font / size would be nice to have.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Minute taking has always been manual and time consuming. Notion has revolutionised this and given me so much time back.
