App Profile: Notion Calendar

There’s a lot of reviews that talk about the pros and cons of the app but let me just say my favorite thing is I don’t immediately create a new event if I just fat finger my phone and hit a random spot on the calendar. So much time wasted on hitting a random spot on Google calendar and I’m like no I didn’t mean to please - no event oh god! Love the design and the way information is presented it makes it feel less overwhelming. I would love a 5 day view - 3 days is great because it’s intentional but getting the work week in one viewable window would be helpful. I know Google calendar forces the whole week on you though which I don’t totally love either. Either way I’m excited to see where the app goes from here!

I’m just starting out with Notion and Notion Calendar (NC) on iPad and iPhone and so far I like the features and functionality of the apps. I’m mainly here to talk about their tech support. I had a difficult time getting NC to sync with my Apple Calendar. I tried multiple attempts to sync, regardless of device. I carefully wrote a detailed explanation of everything I tried and the tech support guys were kind and helpful with their response, once I got past the initial response from the AI. Now it’s working and I can’t wait to get more organized and learn all the features of the app. I’m giving the app 4.5 stars rather than 5 because there are some areas for improvement I’m seeing, so far. Would prefer the app to recognize when my device is in landscape mode and automatically switch, since I rarely use portrait mode on my iPad and the tiny narrow calendar view is annoying. I would also prefer to get a real human response from tech support the first time. The AI assumes you know nothing and didn’t read the instructions or documentation before requesting help. It was a bit off-putting for someone with decades of experience working with computers.
