This app does not run if installed in /Applications. It has to be installed for every user in ~/Applications. This is a security flaw.

Just downloaded Notion for Apple Silicon Mac and was happy to see how quick it is. I looked at the examples of web pages that were clipped to the app and thought this could be a great update to Evernote. Sorry - NO! There is no web clipper for Safari. So they make a Mac app, but they support a Chrome web clipper. That's just not right, so it's back to Evernote for me. Darn.

I had to take a break from work to just write how awesome this application is. I have used them all: Evernote, OneNote, Quiver, Bear. Notes App; yet I've always found something that just would not let my workflow just...well...flow.

I found this App through a very Quora email digest when I was cleaning my inbox and man I am glad I did. It's been 6+ months and I have not looked back.

I use this application to document everything I do, especially code and code snippets that I use for web development. It works incredibly well for that and it pushes to other devices flawlessly (Bear requires a subscription for this).

I like how you just organise things with workspaces and then you can define your hierarchy as you deem necessary. Moving things around, turning blocks into other things, etc. is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

The code syntax for any programming language you use is just heaven, and it copies and pastes just as nice (I remember I spent hour debugging things only to find out OneNote was pasting curly double quotes at some point).

The integration with other platforms is amazing and constantly expanding. I have inserted Gists from GitHub into my documentation and it displays beautifully.

The free version has everything I need, but this is one of those apps to which I am happy to give my money as it has made my life so much simpler!

Excellent app, amazingly full-featured and stable for such a young product. It features incredibly rich online docs, with integrated chatting, and a myriad of embeddable content, from inline code blocks and CodePens, through to Wikipedia articles and full-blown relational databases. To me, the only missing feature is the ability to have simple, spreadsheet-like TABLES in a document - rather than a complete database - so that Notion could be used to send out proposals and invoices. Trying to do this now embeds a complete database in every proposal/invoice, which makes the entire workspace bloated, messy and unsearchable. Current workaround is to embed a table/spreadsheet from an external tool, such as a Google Sheet - very time-consuming and cumbersome. This is a seriously good piece of software, which deserves the accolades it’s been getting. I look forward to seeing how it matures and evolves in years to come.

So much for that. Says it'll work offline, but nonetheless still requires a login before you get to see anything.

Great app for free form writing. Surprised it hasn't been reviewed more often

This app/service just oozes with potential. It's really incredible what they've done for version 1. I was getting cozy with Dropbox Paper but this is like Paper on steroids. I"m going to have to really test this and see how well their mobile looks (iPhone app coming but it works on mobile Safari) Great start.
