I am a business professional and I've tried every single app out there. I have to say, Notion is the best. It's easy to use, has all the features one needs and it looks great too! The best part is that it integrates with my other apps seamlessly, so I don't need to switch between different platforms when I work on a project.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although it comes with many useful features, there is always room for improvement Notion is not easy to setup and does have a learning curve. However, once you get it set up, it has the potential for some really powerful features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to use different apps for things like to-do lists. But now, I don't need to switch between different programs and the entire project is right there in one place. As a result, it's easy to monitor everything and keep my priorities straight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've tried a number of different planning organization tools, but Notion is the best one. I'm able to customize it in any way I want and it's really easy to use. The other apps feel like they're too rigid and don't offer enough customization options. Notion is my favorite app!
Ultimate Space to do anything
What do you like best about the product?
As someone who practically lives in Notion, the recent stuff has been less about minor tweaks and more about genuine game-changers. I feel like they finally hit the accelerator on making it a true all-in-one workspace, especially with how they're handling AI.
Here are the new things that I'm personally loving:
The Agent: It's Not Just AI Chat, It's an AI Teammate
The biggest shift is the move from "Notion AI" being a fancy text generator to what they call a Notion Agent. Seriously, it's like hiring a power-user intern for your workspace.
Deep Context is Key: It doesn't just read the page you're on. Now, I can ask it, "Summarize the last two meetings I had with the design team and pull out all the action items assigned to me," and it'll search my calendar, meeting notes database, and even Slack messages (if connected) to give me a concise answer with citations. No more copy-pasting info just to prompt an AI.
Database Automation: My project tracker is finally a dream. I can tell the Agent to look at my raw customer feedback notes, automatically tag them with properties like 'Feature Request,' 'Bug Report,' and 'Priority: Medium,' and summarize the sentiment—all without me touching a single cell.
Notion Calendar is a Real Calendar Now
I used to keep my calendar separate because the integration was clunky. Not anymore.
The Meetings Tab: This new tab in the sidebar is genius. It syncs with my calendar and auto-creates a structured note for every meeting. No more scrambling to make a new page five minutes before a call. I just type /meet on any page, hit start, and the notes are perfectly filed away.
Calendar Searchable by Agent: I mentioned this above, but it's worth its own bullet point. I can ask the Agent, "When did I last meet with Sarah and what did we discuss about the budget?" The fact that it can search my calendar and past meeting notes together is a huge time-saver.
New Database Views
The database is the heart of Notion, and they keep making it more versatile.
Map View and Place Property: I'm a travel fanatic, and this is a gift. I can now add a Place property to my itinerary database, and it instantly shows all the locations on an actual map view. This is amazing for trip planning, or for a business tracking office locations or client sites.
Conditional Coloring with Formulas: This is a power-user feature, but I love it. I can now use formulas to set the background color of a row. For instance, my tasks turn bright red if the due date is today and the status isn't 'In Progress,' making those urgent items impossible to miss.
Basically, Notion used to be an incredible toolkit, but you had to build everything yourself. Now, the new AI and integration features feel like they are building things for you, which shifts the focus back to doing the work, not just setting up the workspace.

Where Notion Needs a Serious Upgrade
Honestly, for how much I use and love Notion, the complaints boil down to three things. They've fixed a lot of the initial "steep learning curve" stuff with good templates and the AI Agent, but now the issues are more about core performance and missing power features.
1. Performance & The Mobile App (The Lag is Real)
This is the number one complaint. When your workspace gets big—hundreds of pages and complex databases—it starts to feel sluggish.
The Wait: Page load times, especially for complex dashboards with lots of linked databases, can still be painfully slow. It feels like the entire web-app structure is struggling to keep up with the complexity it allows.
Mobile is a Chore: The mobile app, despite improvements, still feels like a slow web-wrapper. Trying to quickly check a to-do list or jot a note on the go often involves a noticeable load time, which defeats the purpose of an "on-the-spot" capture tool.
2. Automation & Database Logic Gaps
They've come so far with the new Formulas and Automations, but there are still glaring holes that make workarounds necessary for power users.
Conditional Relations: I still can't build a simple automation like: "When I complete a task, automatically link it to the 'Weekly Review' page that has the most recent date." The automation logic isn't smart enough to handle conditional linking or complex filtering like Formulas can.
True Recurring Tasks: It's 2025 and setting up a simple recurring task (e.g., "Pay Rent on the 1st of every month") still requires a custom database template, an automation, and a lot of steps. It should be a native checkbox option.
3. Export & Data Ownership
Notion is a great digital brain, but what if you need the data outside of it?
PDF/Print Formatting: Exporting a page to a PDF for printing or sharing often breaks the layout. Complex columns, tables, and images get scrambled. There's no good way to add page breaks or control the formatting.
Proprietary Data: If you ever wanted to leave Notion (god forbid), getting your data out is clunky. You get a mass of HTML, CSV, and markdown files that require a lot of manual cleanup to import into a competitor. It's not a truly open standard like pure markdown would be, which always leaves me with a slight data-lock-in anxiety.
The short version: Notion is amazing at giving you a powerful, flexible canvas. Now, they need to focus on making that canvas load instantly and adding the finishing touches to its automations so you can stop being a workspace architect and just be a productive user.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using OneNote from Microsoft to record every important information and keep data handy but when I saw the notion. I switched to notion immediately and maintained all my data on the notion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
yes, I recommend everyone to use notion, it's not just a page full of information but it's a space for everything.
Easy-to-use, intuitive system for groups and individuals that also features AI
What do you like best about the product?
The cool new AI features are fun. Some of the features and abilities of Notion were hard to grasp, and the AI tool makes it super easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the "onboarding" to Notion could be better, like showing people what they can do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really helping me with tracking everything that I have to do across teams, including individual actions. Entering things that I have to do only takes seconds, so I can easily input everything, including small things like responding to an email. I have only used this as an individual, so my team hasn't experienced direct benefits besides my own performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd also look into other project management options for teams.
Notion: Organize Everything with a Simple and Free Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the free version of Notion allows for plenty of records and the possibility of attachments. The interface is simple to use and I appreciate the mobile interface. I can also share between my computer, phone, tablet, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing to point out. I really like the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for personal organization. It allows many free records, attachments, and is simple to use. I love the mobile interface and the sharing capability between computer, mobile, and tablet.

Best app for organising notes
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is more smooth now and alot of new features are also introduced. Also with the addition of the Notion AI using notion has become much more simple and helpful. The AI can translate complete pages, analyze your notes, give insights on your data, help to create data and much more. I cannot suggest a much better notes keeping and sharing tool than notion. Recently I have planned a trip so I have noted everything down and using the AI also improved that alot and then shared the link to my friends so that they can also see the itinerary and they were impressed with the clean design and how easy it is to share there type of notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am still not sure on that. Like the needs that I have it fulfills those there is noting extra I need from that. So I dont have anything that notion can improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that notion solves for me is the ease of taking notes and managing them. It maintains and keeps the notes in a very organized way which saves a lot of time and we can access them anywhere anytime.
Great tool for HR onboarding and other intranet options
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and set up and permissions can be set to allow for specific access to certain parts of the site.

Nothing really, it works perfect for what our small company needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy way to share information about our company in an easy to use format.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot, it's perfect for communicating info across the org
Great Design, Basically Unusable Due to Extreme Lag Across All Apps and Web
What do you like best about the product?
The modular, elegant design makes it not only a note-taking tool to best the traditional players like Evernote, but a powerful all-in-one work management tool for things like project management, documentation, meeting agendas, and much more. The fact that everything is a page and you can create databases of pages with relationships to each other (e.g. database of clients with relationship to a tasks database, so you can tie a client-specific task to that client) makes it one of the most powerful no-code solutions for creating a digital business's workspace.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow when you have complex pages with lots of different blocks, references to databases, and/or synced blocks. They've been improving speed issues progressively and lately I've only experienced this in rare cases, and when page setups may just simply be too complex and in need of re-architecting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflows like newsletter and blog production, meeting agendas, notebooks, databases of various things we want to save e.g. ideas for future newsletters or sources of inspiration, newsletter and blog writing with the help of the built-in AI assistant.
Flexible no-code tool for productivity and project management
What do you like best about the product?
Automations are very useful to avoid repetitive tasks and speed up the workflow such as creating tasks, adding relations, applying templates, recurring tasks and meeting and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I use Notion as a my second brain as well. So it would be nice to have a whiteboard view, as some of the competitors have made, to organize thoughts and connect ideas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am personally using Notion to build my productivity system, and some people call it the life OS. At work, we use it for project management and research purposes.
