Notion notes4/12/2023 ![]() ![]() The concept is there, but the execution is not. What’s the point of all the fancy features if you can’t even get the basic note taking functions to work smoothly? I use it for simple note taking with headings, dividers, a few different background colours, toggles here and there, but nothing more than that. ![]() Something as simple as selecting multiple blocks and moving them can become extremely tedious due to the app freezing or crashing. When using it side by side with safari or chrome, it’s pretty appalling. It often gets so difficult to work with that I have to restart the app. What I do find frustrating is the fact that even on a brand new iPad Pro with very little storage used up and even with no apps running in the background, I still seem to have issues with speed on Notion. The copy and paste issue has been mentioned countless times by users so I don’t feel the need to go into that, nor the fact that there is no offline mode. I’ve made notion my default note-taking app but it is very frustrating to see that the issues are not being worked on by the developers. This just means, I will continue to use Notion in Safari on the iPad, it’s not a big deal, and I would rather Notion keeps innovating and adds iPad features when they have resources too.Ĭlunky on iPad OS, needs better copy paste, no offline mode It does show that their development process is not completely watertight though. I find this a little surprising, considering this is basically just a web app, but it’s not a big deal. That said, Notion is not keeping the iPad app up to date with all of the desktop features, such as Header 1/2/3/ toggle lists are not supported in the iPad app, I cannot expand the toggle, it just shows as a heading instead. Personally, I also prefer that data is kept in the cloud, and not on my device, because that keeps the apps lightweight (and in theory, consistent across platforms, but this is not the case) and I’m sure greatly improves the ease of maintenance, which means developers can focus on improving features instead. How is any app meant to grow if people give it 1-star basically because it’s new? I think it’s ridiculous and sad to see so many people giving the iPad app 1-star because they are worried about Notion being a small company or they don’t like some small aspect of it. Love Notion, I don’t think Notion shows iOS much love though ![]()
