The posts behind it
Useless if you have an older Apple device
Why would you allow to download an earlier version of the app knowing that the iOS 18 is not achievable, on an older iPad only to put the user into an infinite sign in flow that doesn’t actually allow them to get in and you keep giving them the required upgrade notice?!? Stupid...
The new version is unusable
Now I cannot manage my page hierarchy any more??? This makes this app unusable on iPad.
Problems with loading
Unfortunatly there are lots of bugs concerning about loading especially on iOS version It doesnt work
the updates bro
no hate they can obviously update their own app but its made it generally un-useable for me as of recently, they completely changed the way their app works. Some simple things like the font, not being able to hold & replace images or add captioning, not being able to hold...
Notion Plus - Paid but Unreliable
...displays confusing information about my subscription, connecting it to ChatGPT has been unreliable, and copying and pasting large documents frequently fails or becomes unresponsive. I purchased Notion to organize and preserve six volumes of my research manuscripts, but even...
Poor Mobile Functionality
Notion is such a formidable application to use on a desktop… so why does the mobile app feel so foreign? Missing features, not nearly as customizable, and the AI tool is abysmal. Unfortunate and frustrating,
Love the service, but Duo app is bad
I use Notion a lot for work and it’s great. Unfortunately, the iPhone Duo version of the app has a lot of problems. Touch targets stop working randomly, text disappears from the page when selecting it, animations skip, and most problematically, the app crashes a LOT in Split...
Disappointed
...at), and even built templates for these individuals and businesses. I am incredibly disappointed in what it’s become and am actively transitioning to an alternative system. Personally, this app and its team are no longer worth supporting considering their intense love for such...

Customer Service
This app is the most inconsistent, quirky app I have ever used! The “Drag and Drop” disappears, the icons disappear, and even simple tasks become unmanageable. 1 star, at best
Stop Removing Useful Functionality
I’m on a iPad. Stop removing useful features. The sidebars collapse/expand on pages is no longer there anymore.
I suggest you look elsewhere
...is a great service to organize just about any type of information, but the iOS app is terrible. Incredibly buggy, that seems to get worse with every update. I’m still using it because I have too much invested in the platform, so I hope they get around to fixing everything.
Reduced settings on mobile app
Having reduced settings on the mobile app really hinders usability
Fix bluetooth keyboards
This is the only app I've ever used that I can't type in with my bluetooth keyboard. Unusable for iPads. Feel free to let me know when you fix this cause I wish I could use this app.
Nuisances ruined it
1 star because it interrupted what I was doing for a review
WTH
I don’t understand why you people make apps that don’t work the same as the website or the desktop app! I downloaded this app, the marketplace for templates wasn’t available. The AI sent me to the mobile website and I tried browsing agents, clicked on one and it took me to a...
Notes missing
I took all my notes here. One random update later all of my notes for every single class were missing. Just as my mid term is coming up
I don’t like this app
Too slow and waste my time and always asked money .
what's happening?
So far notion has been great, my number 1 go to for note taking among other things. But now the app has been more of nuisance than anything because it has several glitches now. For one, whenever I highlight a paragraph and try applying italic, or bold to it, it only applies to...
Can’t make checklists in Mobil app
You can only make check boxes one at a time in the mobile app. I uploaded a list of things to do, I want to create a checklist, and I cannot. Insane for this team to not have that feature.
Keep flickering
It just keep pulling everything up. Unusable on Mac.
I love Notion…on computer
Notion is great, but the mobile app is a mess of bugs and inconsistencies. Tapping some modules will cause an unclose-able box to appear that persists even after closing the app. Dragging other modules will open them. Menus needing to be dragged to close is annoying and...
Consistently buggy
Nothing works
...using on iPad or the iPhone. Notion is only good on the Mac or MacBook. They have been terrible iOS and iPad OS for years now. I have been through multiple is upgrades from 18 to 27 now and when Apple is getting better with upgrades notion is still in the same spot as it was...
App sucks now
App is now too glitchy to use, makes typing a little more diffficult on mobile as the screen keeps moving every time I type.
Give then block
I was using notion and it is a good tool for what I needed it for, but then all of a sudden one day my page was frozen behind a pay wall. The pay option has options I will never use. I’m not paying around $25 a month for this software, the ai feature is not close to worth it and...
No AI!!!!!
Why do we need AI??? It was my favorite app until this.
It would be great if it worked
I'm just trying to read a journal. It crashes repeatedly.
AI is trash
"Notes, Tasks, AI" "Your AI workspace" Stop. So sad to see the AI emphasis/pivot. I'll stop recommending this to people.
Constant upsell trap
This is the fifth time I’ve had to dispute them changing up the plan on me without my clear consent.
no more ai
so sick of corporations forcing ai in my face and down my throat you can just be a regular productivity app like you used to be
Incredibly buggy
The iPad app is genuinely unusable due to bugs. There's a bug where whenever you try to select something to type the viewport moves to somewhere else on the document so you can't see what you're doing. This also happens when you type at all. Sometimes it teleports your cursor...
Why so bloated?
The app is over a half gig and the current burn of my storage is 750MB? iPhone storage upgrades are going to be prohibitively expensive this year. Devs need to start optimizing for storage more often as folks are not going to be able to afford getting larger storage iPhones.
Moving objects is basically impossible
Moving objects around (especially if they are links) is pretty much impossible to do. Each time I hold an item to move it, the keyboard or the pop up menu shows up and will not let me move the object. I love notion but since my ipad is my primary device, it has made using the...
