Welcome to your new Organised Brain
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that I can organize my data the way it makes sense to me a not some developer's belief of how data is organized in your database. It is so flexible that you can view your database in multiple views after you have placed it in it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its very clunky on a mobile phone. It's slow and a bit hard to use. And also I do not like that you can't use it offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing my Digital Notes the way I want them to be organized the way they make sense to me. Not all brains make sense of data the same way. Especially data (Notes) you have generated.
Great for Product Management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface with multiple options to collaborate on realtime. I have been using it for my professional as well as personal task management everyday. With multiple option like Note taking, Journal entries, To-Do list and Reading list it provides with all round management options. Also, I love the Dark theme in the application. Integration with apps like Evernote allows me to use it more efficiently. In short I love it. :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such, but I think it would be good if we had a few more options like a Pomododo Timer, habit tracker, reminder with Push notifications for web, Mac and android application. I think adding these could make it an all round package in itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it a professional and personal task management tool everyday. I use it to take notes and make Journal entries. Its my go to place whenever I need to take a note of something or trach my to-do tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please add more features like Pomodoro, habit tracker and push notifications for tasks reminders.
Best app for journaling, tracking, and planning
What do you like best about the product?
That I can hold everything I need for work and personal. I keep templates, swipe files, resources, client notes from all my meetings, track my habits, routines, etc. And it's been the easiest app I can move around through and find what I need quickly. The search function, customizable layout, and sorting feature all help me find things much faster than other apps.
I also love how it works as a beautiful digital journal if you put in the time and effort to create it. You can journal and save each day, each week, and each month. I've also used it for goal-setting and planning out how exactly I'm going to carry out said goals.
Because I felt late in the Notion game, I loved that others could share their Notion templates as well. I like personalization, but didn't want to have to start from scratch, especially with all the great Notion templates already out there.

What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides are few but I'd probably say it can get complicated when trying to use tables to their fullest potential. I use them but I keep it simple for the most part. That being said, I attempted to use an alternative in AirTable and found that since I was in notion so much it didn't make sense, so I've been using the tables more over there (in Notion).
I have also taken a slight issue with the notification feature. It works, but I wish there were more options overall on when and how you would want to be alerted.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving a problem I had in always having to scout for something a client said or for information for projects. The benefits is that I save tons of time and work flows more smoothly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If someone is wondering what Notion can do for them, I'd tell them imagine a revamped version of Evernote. In my humble opinion, Notion does a better job with layout.
Build yourself a second brain!
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility. You can build anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The page link icons are redundant (arrow and paper).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is where I store all my notes and journal entries and plan my YouTube videos.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's no question. Notion is a once-in-a-lifetime app, and it blows every other Wiki app out of the water with its flexibility and feature set.
Bye Evernote! Hello notion! This app runs my life now
What do you like best about the product?
By far my favorite thing about Notion is how customizable it is. Even at the free personal tier, I don't see the majority if individuals needing to expand to the paid version. Any time a product can give so much value at the FREE level, means they're in it for the long haul and they're the real deal.
You also have this VERY ACTIVE community of Notioners that share their own databases. I don't know of anything else that has this kind of crowd that drives the innovation of the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion works in "blocks" so this can make copy and pasting a little tricky. You can't just copy a whole entry and paste it into google docs or an email with out having to fix it on the paste side of things. Small issue but not that big of a deal for everything else that this app has to offer.
My suggestion would be to offer a copy feature similar to the one in Bear.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I track everything in Notion. I organize my "personal life documents" and my professional workload in here. The ability to easily link between pages and tables makes this such a versatile tool for anyone trying to keep their life together
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it now!
As a former Evernote power-user Notion really knocked it out of the park. There's a Notion database for everything.

The most versatile planning, coordinating, and collaborating tool available
What do you like best about the product?
You can do anything with notion because it is so versatile. Create a space for you team, for each person, for each task, for each detail. Coordinate projects with ease and precision. Collaborate to hit targets and deadlines. Have a space for fun things, a space for important company details, literally whatever you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure there is a downside to Notion, but if I had to pick something, it would be that when you're deleting content from the body of a block, the delete key will continue to the title of the block. Best way out is ctrl + Z.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage multiple facets of our business, and without Notion I would be very scattered. I plan in Notion, I transfer post it notes to Notion, I share progress and manage expectations with Notion. It's a core tool in my productivity and work life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free! What could possibly be holding you back from trying such a great tool?
Notion, my only love for organized information.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion's ability to let you create nested data arrays and link them without any coding is amazing. It has entirely replaced Google Sheets and various project management tools like Trello for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want more built-in templates for displaying data. I have to constantly re-create templates for my projects. Also, I did not find the function for importing backups, which confused me a little.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have transferred to Notion all project management work in everything I do, from personal notes to complex startups. I try to lead everything there! When I start a new project, I definitely bring it to Notion where I add all the necessary sections and a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need to try it and not give up if something doesn't work right away.
Best notes taking tool

I used Evernote for more than ten years and finally wholly switched over to Notion.

What do you dislike about the product?
Support for Apple Pencil and Apple Watch is still not there. I hope I can take quick notes on Apple Watch and write in meetings. Right now, I have to use Notability and Tasks first, then merge into Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Notion to organize my whole workflow - projects, notes, tasks.
Notion - The Mother of All Writing Apps
What do you like best about the product?
The freedom it provides, how it's not just a notepad or to-do list tool but so much more. It's like a SaaS service with more uses than originally intended for by the team itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's heavy on my Mac and the Browser version just slows down the computer.
Takes time to boot up sometimes
More themes are needed
