Singular best notetaking/workspace app in the world (11/10).
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of using Notion are limitless. Notes, pages, databases, linked pages, linked databases, tables, AI... Smart views. You can do everything in notion. I organize my work, and my entire life in there. I've tried everything else, and in terms of overall funcionality and ease of use, nothing compares. And it just keeps gettign better with each update... I could go on and on about the benefits, with this unfiltered and honest oppinion.
What do you dislike about the product?
At start I though it was complicated to use and learn. Sure it took me months to get fluent, but then it's just like a language. The better you can speak it, the more limitless options you have for your work and the organization of your life. As an advanced user, the only thing I wish for is continuous improvment in even faster loading speeds from the back end, that's it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion makes it simple to make notes, and organize them in infinite yet simple ways that work for you. You can also share any of your notes or pages in the form of a web link, just as you would with your files on Google Drive.
Great tool for personal and team productivity
What do you like best about the product?
best parts I find about Notion is that it is extremely flexible so that you can manage your data in many different ways depending on your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
there still seem to be few features missing here and there, but overall it is already good enough. typing on mobile is some times lagging though, which hopefuly gets improved soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the best part is that it is so flexible that we tend to use it for all of our internal processes which keeps all data centralized and easy to find and manage.
A customizable workspace you can build to suit your specific needs
What do you like best about the product?
Powerful databases and the ability to customize pages allow me to create dashboards to suit my needs and organize information in a variety of ways. And if something doesn't work? I change it. My Notion workspace grows with me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest drawback is the lack of an offline mode. I have to keep up-to-date with my backups because if there is a problem with my connection, I don't have access to any of my databases or organization systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What doesn't it solve? I can make databases for anything and everything. Organizing new projects, planning and creating content for social media, connected databases for tracking income and expenses, just to name a few.
Lifechanging for People With ADHD
What do you like best about the product?
Notion made it seamless for my organization to organize its creative ideas when we had no viable system. Working in social and video production can get really crazy so having an intuitive way to organize made our workflows so much smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
The templates aren't the most intuitive for new people who don't think like an ADHDer or someone who prefers more straightforward organizational styles. But still easy to pick up!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creative Workflow organization and notes management. It's been great for contractors and frazzled bosses alike.
Frees up your mind so you can achieve even more
What do you like best about the product?
Very flexible for saving and organizing different types of notes like images, text, numbers, and time to help managing projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes some time to learn how to use effectively. I had to watch trainings and study examples online to learn how to use well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing complicated decisions, like deciding on wedding venue for getting married or starting a new podcast
Notion helped me to organize and priorities my agendas
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my second brain. It helped me to organize a lot of essential agendas coming up, as well as a lot of space for me to jot down everything that I am thinking of.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is that notion is a bit complicated to set up; I have to watch many tutorials to understand each feature's functionality. Some of the features require some coding. If block coding could be implemented, that would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have problems organizing my items; I usually store notes and folders in different places. Notion allows me to keep my things on one page, and I could create a sub-page for further notes. Also, it will enable me to prioritize and set reminders about what I have to do in a day so I won't forget them. The main point that attracted me was the price. The notion is free for personal use; even if you did not pay for the premium tiers, the free plan's features are sufficient.
Great documentation repository, advanced features hard to teach to broader team
What do you like best about the product?
It's super easy to create documents and customize formatting, whether you're tech-savvy or not. If you learn how to use the advanced features (databases, relation properties, formulas), Notion becomes exceptionally powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most people don't take the time to learn how Notion structures information, which complicates leveraging its more powerful features like databases. It's not enough that I know how to set up databases and relations. Other team members also have to learn how to use them for the system to work, and often they aren't willing to put in the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is the primary location for internal documentation, and links out to information that we have stored elsewhere so that we can go to one place to find anything we've made.
The best app for your custom workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Notion lets you create your ideal workspace.
Thanks to the various custiomisation options every user can find and archieve the perfect workspace according to his needs.
I love expecially the timeline and kanban views.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion team decided to keep less *deep customisation* features such as a color picker for text and highlighting.
While the basic colours are enough for my needs, some of them need some adjustments.
For example the colours like yellow, orange and brown are very similar.
Another thing I don't like is the impossibility to make someone without an account edit a page.

Keeping all the tasks in one place.
Organize them in the way I like.
Share all the lists with colleagues.
If the circumstances change for some reason, Notion is flexible and can easily change.

A powerful tool with so much flexibility to fit anyones needs.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion addressed many issues I had with other productivity platforms. Incredible control, flexibility and freedom with how I want my workflows to be set up. I'm also a visual based person so the ability to have many different views for the same data set and colour code things to my hearts content is a joy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was quite a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. Sometimes finding controls to edit or adjust things would be hard to find at times. I also encountered a limitation with merging data sets in a specific way which, sadly wasn't able to fully rectified but support was very helpful with compromising solutions and mentioned they are looking into that functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the problems of every other productivity or planning platform. I never got enough control or flexibility. Common tools or features locked behind specific paywalls.
Notion gives you a lot for their free tier, and you aren't restricted by their free team plan in features or capability.

Best all in one software for project management & wiki
What do you like best about the product?
Very versatile & customizable when it comes to databases & workflows, less on fonts/sizes, why helps to focus on what matters most
Databases are really useful, especially when linking them through rollups
I have started to play with their AI which is very powerful!

What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I miss most is the ability to create graphs from data already used in Notion (eg. databases)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a single source of truth when taking notes and managing projects
Having the ability to zoom from objectives to tasks when managing my projects
