Notion Mobile Download

I use Notion databases extensively and most of my usage is on mobile. I truly want to use Notion as an all-in-one productivity tool. Here are some of the limitations I had using databases on mobile:
Limited filtering and sorting: Notion's mobile app offers filtering and sorting options, but they may not be as intuitive or comprehensive as the desktop version, requiring specific buttons or menus.
Challenging linked page viewing: Though Notion's databases allow linking to other pages within a workspace, viewing these links can be challenging on the mobile app, especially with many linked pages.
Hi,
I have build my personal OS/2ndBrain with Notion. But the mobile user experience on my iPhone su**. I was unable to create to smooth tasklist, a quick capture form etc. I have tried several views but it feels like every other task manager app works 10x better than Notion.
On the desktop version, users can add an emoji by typing a colon ( : ) followed by the name or description of an emoji. This does not work on mobile.
For example, the desktop version has a "side peek" option when you open a database page, allowing you to see the page's contents while still viewing the entire database. This isn't a function on mobile.
While viewing or editing a Notion page on mobile, people can still view it simultaneously. However, you won't be able to see their active bubble at the top of the page, nor their unnerving cursor as they scroll and click around on the page.
Because of the nuances of the Notion app on mobile devices and tablets, it's more challenging to get used to if you're using a phone. The best way to learn how to use Notion is by fully experiencing the desktop version.
Notion Mobile v3 took mobile music creation to the next level with support for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Now v3.2 adds many enhancements and fixes, as well as being available in a brand new app store, the Samsung Galaxy Store, for the very first time.
Display frequently used blocks and allow search while adding blocks: Frequently used blocks now show up on the top as icons for easy skimming, together with a search icon that leads to a separate search page. Now users can easily find and insert any block on mobile without scrolling through a long list!
Two weeks ago, I started my meta-learning experiment, exploring how far I can go with intensive, self-driven learning. My first topic is visual design, something I have zero experience with prior. After spending 1 week learning Figma, I challenged myself to redesign Notion mobile UI to improve users\u2019 note-taking experience.
Because I love Notion!! Notion on desktop perfectly hits my type-A aesthetic nerves. I organize my journals, projects, and daily errands all on Notion. However, the Notion mobile app is quite clunky. Users beg Notion to improve their mobile app on Twitter and Reddit and even gave each other tips to simplify Notion\u2019s mobile experience on Youtube. Therefore, I found it a worthwhile challenge to improve Notion\u2019s mobile app via a redesign.
I would have interviewed existing Notion desktop users who are not yet engaging with the mobile app. However, given this project\u2019s time constraint, I utilized my intution as a power user. Notion is my third-used app aside from Messages and Google Maps. Based on my own user experience in addition to user feedback online, I brainstormed the major Notion mobile use cases on Figjam.
Users usually use Notion on PC to set up extensive pages or databases and use Notion\u2019s mobile app to view existing content, make quick edits, or take short notes. Based on this assumption, I laid out a typical user journey:
I prioritized pain points related to the core note-taking experience: making content edits, inserting new content, styling, and additional page actions. I chose to focus on these features because 1) the note-editing experience is universal to the majority of Notion mobile user journeys and 2) these pain points cause Notion to lose its desktop users to Apple Notes and Google Keep for taking quick notes. If we want to improve mobile engagement and make Notion a comprehensive personal and professional workspace, we need to improve the app\u2019s most basic workflows such as note taking.
Make it easier to find a block to add: On desktop, the \u201C/\u201D shortcut makes it simple to search for the block you want to add. However, on mobile, it\u2019s a lot of work to scroll through all options, especially if what you need is at the bottom of the list.
Although my redesigns seem nuanced, the subtle improvement compounds due to users\u2019 frequent interactions with these features while editing notion pages. However, I realized that perhaps the biggest barrier to replacing Notes or Keep with Notion for casual note-taking is the process of creating/organizing rather than editing pages. Notion has the following disadvantages because it\u2019s not designed for casual note-taking:
Taking one more step back, this entire redesign is based on the assumption that users would more frequently use Notion\u2019s mobile app to take or edit notes given that this process is made simpler. I made this assumption based on my personal intuition, but, perhaps, note-taking engagement will be marginal even if the user experience is optimized. Before the deeper issues such as latency and user habits are addressed, it will still be hard for Notion to significantly improve user engagement in their mobile app.
