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.

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.

What do you like best about the product?

East to find information is my best opinion

What do you dislike about the product?

There could be a better layout, the layout seems a little boring

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

Easily able to find information instead of waist info peoples time asking questions

What do you like best about the product?

The simple, yet sophisticated UI helps cross-functional communication so easy to manage and track. The various customizations are an add-on!

What do you dislike about the product?

None that I can think of. Currently, Notion is one of the best investments our team made.

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

Currently, I am using Notion to track cross-functional communication with the engineering and the product team, and also to manage Feature requests from Customers and customer renewal pipelines.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that it's a very good-looking app. Unlike traditional tools (such as MS Word) where you constantly think about formatting and stuff, it takes zero effort for me to take notes in any shape or form and still have a sleek document. I can clip webpages, put gifs, videos, emojis, add photos of my pen and paper drawings, anything... And whatever I do, my document never looks like a mess.

You can also create a knowledge base that is very easy to navigate for others, thanks to the subpage functionality and linking/referencing pages.

What do you dislike about the product?

Well, Notion works for most of my needs. I'm mostly using Notion for notetaking and creating knowledge base/documentation for software and my team. I know that Notion have lots of other features that I don't use that often. And I know that some users feel frustrated when they try to use Notion in a certain way that suits their use cases. Although most people hate using too many different tools, I don't think there is or there will be a single app that could do everything (from notetaking to project management) elegantly.

Also, I hate that my colleagues don't use Notion as much as I do.

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

Notion helps me to create a body of knowledge consisting of many different documents that are referencing each other. I am a business analyst and my job is to communicate complex things in a neat and well-organized way. Notion helps me present my work in a very welcoming way. I can communicate design documents with software developers and architects. Business units and managers can easily surf through the documents without feeling lost or overwhelmed just like browsing a website.

In contrast to the traditional way, where documents are dumped into a file server and most people never even dare to have a look at them (hence information becoming lost), Notion allows me to deliver crucial information efficiently and come to a shared understanding.

What do you like best about the product?

I like best the part where you can put notes and have your members read those notes plus you can collaborate on those notes but there's a bit to add on its features especially if you are working on a team.

What do you dislike about the product?

This product/software cannot sit well with large team members. So, as I had previously used Asana - for marketing and sales- I still would recommend Asana. Although this software is also good for taking down notes as it has a good navigational approach. One can put in a to-do list, set reminders, make calculations and more, but, I can even use Evernote for this one instead especially since the one thing that I enjoy doing is taking down notes, reminders and tallying. I would suggest that they add more features and make sure that security issues are well protected. We don't want our effort put to waste because of some breaches.

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

I don't see that many benefits as there are just one or two that I find new when I've used this software before and that's because it is easy to navigate through each page and keeps you on track of your progress and tasks.

What do you like best about the product?

The toggle feature, to-do list and the download feature.

What do you dislike about the product?

We should be allowed to download / export with MS Word or Google Docs.

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

You can write in a flow.
You can use it to keep ideas, manage your to-dos and keep several drafts in one place
Use Notion to collaborate with your team on ideas

What do you like best about the product?

Easy to use, pricing is reasonable, encourages team collaboration

What do you dislike about the product?

Tables are not the easiest to use if you're used to Excel-Sheets

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

We use it for collecting customer feedback and project management. Also our talented developers create beautiful Notion based products such as Help Center. (we used to use support.io)

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Don't hesitate to open a support ticket, they will get back to you in less than 24 hours. Also, don't hesitate to say 'this doesn't work' either. Another agent will step in and solve the issue.

What do you like best about the product?

I can handle my entire life in notion, it provides me a lot of value in my life

What do you dislike about the product?

It's almost useless in my android tablet

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

It helps me to organize my activities, not only in the professional field, but also in my personal life

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Best invention after excel spreadsheets

What do you like best about the product?

I love the endless customization that Notion offers! AND bc of widespread adaptability, it is easy to find tutorials.

What do you dislike about the product?

BC Notion is a blank canvas, it can be a little daunting in the beginning to know where to start and how to build in a way that makes the most sense longterm.

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

We use Notion for company-wide project management.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Get a course or hire someone to help you build the framework
