Reviews of Notion

Notion can eat Google Docs for breakfast
Pros:
Notion is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of document creation. It offers a loose structure that provides an opinion of how things can work, but is overwhelmingly flexible in what users can do. Never before have I so quickly been able to - create docs - integrate them with dates - add external media
Cons:
Notion's pricing structure is fair, but it's hard to beat free! Google Docs is only surviving, imo, because so many companies already pay for GSuite.
Alternatives Considered: Microsoft OneNote, Jira, Google Docs and Asana
Reasons for Switching to Notion: Notion is simple to use, beautiful, and flexible.

Best Multi-Function Platform
Comments: Notion allows me to manage my entire life, whether it comes to school/work, finances, or private life. I cannot name one platform that does what Notion does any better or to the same extent and I do not see myself departing from this platform any time soon - it is so versatile, so even when my life goes through drastic changes, I am able to adjust the way I use Notion to fit my needs.
Pros:
I use Notion mostly for taking notes - separate pages, toggles, to-do-lists, and tables make note taking so easy! I admire how customisable every page is and the many block options I have to make my experience personal and unique. Notion also allows me to make really effective to-do-lists and manage my tasks and projects because of this range of options. I find it particularly helpful that I can embed and link other pages, websites, and documents - it allows me to keep everything in one place.
Cons:
On occasion, Notion has not recognised that I have been online even when I have a stable wifi connection. This applies specifically to eduroam connections. Other than that, I cannot point out any other problems or negatives about this platform.

Customizable but complicated as a new user
Pros:
There are a lot of different features and functionality. It is extremely customizable.
Cons:
Do not attempt to utilize without going through some tutorials and knowing what you need. Not for beginner project management system users.

Best tool I use on a daily basis to ideate and take notes
Comments: The best app I use on a daily basis and couldn't live with out it
Pros:
The ability to ideate in the moment and document my thoughts and ideas in real-time through typing and dictation is amazing and being able to link to other pages and podcasts and videos as well as upload images and access an image library, just to mention a small number of the amazing features of this app that I use on a daily basis
Cons:
At this point I don't have the ability to search words in my uploaded handwritten paper notes
Alternatives Considered: Google Keep and Evernote Teams
Reasons for Choosing Notion: Evernote was not developing their features as quickly as Notion and Notion offered features and functionality that Evernote didn't have at the time
Switched From: Evernote Teams
Reasons for Switching to Notion: More features and functionality

I Run My Life with Notion
Comments: I absolutely love Notion. Since the first day I discovered it, it has been in integral part of my business and personal functions. There isn't anything I haven't been able to use Notion for, so far.
Pros:
I use Notion as my Life Dashboard. It is the first thing I open in the morning, and it is open for the rest of the day. I use it for everything from trip planning to client records. I track my budget, my health, my tasks...everything.
Cons:
It took me a while to get a grasp on linking databases and I do wish it was a little more "user friendly" and intuitive...but there are tutorials and plenty of templates and examples.
Alternatives Considered: Trello
Reasons for Choosing Notion: I still like Trello but Notion has so many more functions and options for integrations.
Switched From: Trello
Reasons for Switching to Notion: Again, Notion just offers so much, I have yet to find anything that compares.
