Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I love Notion, but with SSO, the app crashes every time I get timed out and have to re-login. I sometimes have to quit and restart the app numerous times before it works.
dkonigs
I would LOVE to use Notion on mobile as fluidly as I do on desktop, but adding and managing my databases is a real clunky experience.
ESC1985
This app does about everything you can think of. But not as you’d expect. My main reason for dumping it is the fact that it can’t handle repetitive tasks and activities. They say it can, and it does to some extent. But it’s too complicated for such a common function.
