Notion experience as a college student
What do you like best about the product?
I can document or write down my most important stuff out there. Like important notes and other stuff. Was very helpful during college.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nope all good, ui could be a bit more interactive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep track of important stuff which I might forget if not documented!
Powerful Project Tracking and Intranet—With a Bit of a Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a great project management and task tracking tool for me, both personally and professionally. I use it to manage large and small projects within the workplace, track status of different tasks I've assigned to colleagues, and can use it as an intranet to understand what is happening across the organization. It is a fairly easy to use tool and can be easily integrated with other systems, like Google Workspace.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve to Notion's user interface and system. I think once you understand the basics of the platform, it is relatively easy to use. However, I have used other software for project management that has been easier to learn and maintain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for all my project management needs. Notion serves as the source of truth for the status of my personal tasks and projects for my team. It is a great system for cross-team projects, as each individual can update their project status individually.
Notion as a Flexible “Second Brain” for Dev Notes, Docs, and Task Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is really packed with magic and is incredibly flexible. I use it to keep my technical notes, integration docs, API mappings, and task tracking all in one place, instead of constantly jumping between different tools. The database and linked pages features are genuinely useful; with them, I can maintain docs for different integration flows, and connecting related notes with status tracking just makes sense. It’s become kind of my second brain for anything dev-related.
What do you dislike about the product?
Search becomes a pain once your workspace grows; finding something buried in nested pages takes more clicks than it should. And offline access, honestly, isn’t reliable enough for cause sometimes you to access notes quickly, and they’re just not there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion, my notes and docs were honestly all over the place, different files, random chats, and scattered spreadsheets. Now everything lives in one workspace. Architecture planning, implementation notes, and reference material are all connected, so it’s actually easy to follow. It saves me time and genuinely reduces the mental load of keeping track of things across different projects.
All-in-One Workspace That’s Hard to Replace Once It Clicks
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, the best part is just having one place for everything. I use pages and nested notes for most things, databases when I need to actually organize and filter stuff, and the web clipper constantly. I came in with a template someone shared, tweaked it over time, and now my whole personal system lives there. It's not perfect — the learning curve is real — but once it clicks, it's hard to go back to anything else
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting started is harder than it should be. The flexibility that makes Notion powerful is also what makes it overwhelming at first — you kind of need to already know what you want before you can build it. On mobile it still doesn't feel fully thought out; I avoid doing anything complex on my phone because it's just not smooth. Speed is the other thing — occasional lag when switching between pages adds up when you're using it every day
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion, I had no real system — notes lived in random places, things I wanted to remember got forgotten, and I was constantly redoing work I'd already done somewhere I couldn't find. Since switching, I have one place where everything actually lives and stays organized. I spend less time hunting for things and more time actually doing them. It's hard to put an exact number on it, but even saving 20–30 minutes a day of 'where did I put that' adds up quickly
Excellent Note-Taking and Organization Features
What do you like best about the product?
its notes writing and organizing features
What do you dislike about the product?
over AI integration in every feature and sloppyness
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it help me to better organize the documents , links and other data
Notion Keeps My Entire Personal Life Organized in One Flexible Workspace
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is where I organize my entire personal life. I use it for trip planning, habit tracking, saving recipes, and managing household projects, all in one place. The flexibility is great because you can build anything from a simple to-do list to a full system with linked databases and custom views. The AI writing assistant is also a nice bonus for drafting and refining content quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
When pages get really long with a lot of content, the free plan's limits start to feel restrictive. It would be nice if there was a bit more room on the free tier before needing to upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion keeps all my personal projects and information in one place instead of scattered across different apps and notebooks. It saves me time because I don't have to search through multiple tools to find what I need, and it helps me stay on top of things like trip planning, habit tracking, and household tasks without anything slipping through the cracks.
Organizational Powerhouse with Handy Transcription Features
What do you like best about the product?
I love the transcribing feature for meetings in Notion because it's so helpful for taking notes at work and recording everything to go back and reference. The initial setup of Notion was super easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are many features that can get confusing. It also always logs me out and I have to re-sign in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for organizing my schedule and notes. It helps with organization issues and the transcribing feature aids in taking notes and referencing work meetings.
Not Beginner Friendly but Essential for Organization
What do you like best about the product?
I like the board layout in Notion because visually it just makes sense. I also appreciate when the automations work, as they are useful for sending emails of deliverables completed. The hub experience that Notion provides is another positive aspect, especially since Google Docs tend to get lost. Notion helps us have a more cohesive homebase.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am hopeless with the UI and setting up things like automations. It is not beginner friendly. To understand it you need a certain understanding of layering pages and redirects in UI design etc. For the average person, it will need to be set up for them and offering a tutorial how to navigate. Literally the entire process. We had to get support from Notion and also watch hours of online tutorials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion forces me to list everything I do and organizes it, preventing documents from getting lost and providing a cohesive hub experience.
Feature-Rich and Flexkhible for Tables, Tasks, and Projects
What do you like best about the product?
I love how many things it offers. I love that we can make tables, and tasks and projects!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the AI feature should be more accessible without having to pay
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it helps our team work together efficiently - it helps us to break up who is doing what and connects everything together so well.
Intuitive Collaboration and Integrations, but Clunky App and Weak for Markdown Docs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion makes collaboration simpler and helps me create truly solid documentation. It’s a dependable tool, and honestly, I consider it the best in its category. The UI is very intuitive and honestly makes it very easy to create notes within notes and sharing and finding them very easily. I particularly like that you can easily convert a element to another element. Also the fact that everything is an element makes things pretty easy to manage.
I love their integration with tools. Google Suite, Jira, Figma are among the many other integrations I see myself using every other day!

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that while the collaborative features help, especially for non-technical people, I find it difficult to write technical documentation in it. As a developer, I want something that lets me write in native Markdown, and honestly any code editor suffices. Especially there, I can bring in any AI instead of being locked into Notion’s AI, which feels somewhat overpriced and not value for money.
I also don’t like Notion’s app. Even though it makes it easy to work with things, it’s a pain to keep around. With all the windows I already have open, Notion’s app just feels clunky. There’s no easy way to use folders, star things, or pin things—or at least I haven’t been able to figure that out from their UI. The app is also somewhat slow and not very performant.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me store non-technical information that needs to be accessible and easy to share, with granular access controls. It’s also great for jotting down ideas and, honestly, for implementation documentation too.
