I’ve been using Notion since it first launched and I’m starting to feel a bit frustrated. Don’t get me wrong, I love the app, but lately it seems like all the updates are about AI this and AI that.
Am I the only one who thinks we need more attention on the basics? Like, how about improving the mobile app? Or making the desktop version faster? Maybe add some new organization features?
I get that AI is the hot new thing, but I worry it’s taking away from what made Notion great in the first place. Anyone else feel the same way? What features would you rather see them work on instead of AI?
I couldn’t agree more. While AI integration is certainly innovative, Notion’s core functionality should take precedence. As a long-time user, I’ve noticed performance issues, particularly with larger databases. Improved search capabilities and a more intuitive interface for complex data structures would be immensely beneficial. Perhaps Notion could allocate resources to both AI development and enhancing existing features. This approach would satisfy those excited about AI while addressing the needs of users who rely on Notion for daily productivity and organization.
I hear you on the AI overload, josephk. Been using Notion for years now, and while the AI stuff is neat, I’m craving some good old-fashioned feature updates.
The thing that’s been bugging me lately is the lack of proper offline mode. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been stuck without internet and unable to access my notes. That’s a basic feature that should’ve been sorted ages ago.
Also, the search function could use a serious overhaul. It’s frustrating when I know I’ve written something down but can’t find it because the search is so hit-or-miss.
Don’t even get me started on the lack of native calendar integration. For a productivity tool, it’s bizarre we can’t sync with our main calendars properly.
These are the kind of meat-and-potatoes improvements that would make Notion truly indispensable in my workflow. Here’s hoping the devs are listening and not just chasing the latest tech trends.
totally get u, josephk. notion’s AI hype is cool n all, but the basics need love too. the mobile app is a pain sometimes. i’d kill for better table features and smoother syncing. maybe they could balance AI stuff with core improvements? just my 2 cents.
