1. [R9] Google Tasks 3/5 · US No search function: The application would be much more useful if there was the ability to search within the app. The only way to search is to do it in the Google calendar application. If you lose the search capability in Google calendar (which is a known problem that I have not been able to fix), both Google Calendar and Google Tasks lose a major function that I depend upon. I am looking for oth
2. [R16] Google Tasks 1/5 · US Needs to be able to share tasks with other accounts.: I like that this is integrated with Google suite but unlike calendars and docs etc ya see is are only for you. No shared home grocery lists no project management in your team. This could be so much better instead it’s just irritating.
3. [R72] Notion 3/5 · US I love Notion, Not AI…: I use Notion everyday to help me stick to a schedule and plan my life. I despise AI, and the fact it’s even in the title name is repulsive. It’s painful to love this app due to them feeding into this.
4. [R117] Notion 3/5 · GB Good… but the AI features have ruined it.: I used to love this platform but the AI features have become so annoying, and make most formatting attempts borderline impossible.
5. [R1] Google Tasks 1/5 · US App keeps crashing: The app keeps crashing without any warnings. I’ve uninstalled, installed and updated the app but I am still unable to open it on my iPhone 11.
6. [R3] Google Tasks 3/5 · US Keeps crashing: I used to use this all the time but now I can't even open the app. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still crashes on open. Back to using Apple Reminders I guess
7. [R66] Notion 3/5 · US SLOOWWWW: Please fix the app, it lags about and the writing is bad, we dont need AI so relax with it because its slowing up the app, please dont ruin the appppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. [R84] Notion 3/5 · US Great App; Crashes a ton: I really enjoy this app and it was recommended to me by tons of people. The only downfall is often I have to close out of the app and reopen it because the app will crash or the page will go unresponsive. It does start to become disappointing and daunting, especially when paying a subscription
9. [R12] Google Tasks 3/5 · US Convenient but buggy: App crashes whenever I click ‘add tasks’
10. [R17] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Helps with organization!: Tasks helps me organize all my to do’s in one place. From business tasks, personal, and joint, I can organize everything in one place and assign dates/view it on my calendar. Love it!
11. [R82] Notion 1/5 · US Latest updates are a problem: Notion has always been fantastic until it wasn’t. The last couple of releases it seems like it has gone downhill considerably. The screens seem to have a mind of their own now and it crashes more frequently than it ever has.
12. [R106] Notion 1/5 · US BUG over BUGS: Full of bugs on every major use case. This is a clear sign they are not using their own mobile app on daily basis, if they would, they'd see the same problems we all are affected by. 4.8 Rating is not justified at all. The app is not usable.
13. [R5] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Getting organized: Great App, allows you to tick of tasks and especially for really busy people who get distracted. I find in retirement I am probably more busy than when I worked a full time job. It adds focus to your day and allows ability to track tasks
14. [R20] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Great: I think it is equivalent to Apple Reminders but if you have all of your stuff on Google Google calendars Google maps they all sync up together, keeps it all in the same place
15. [R74] Notion 4/5 · US I love notion but when I’m trying to contact costumer service: I’ve been using Notion for a while, and I really love the app. It’s been an amazing tool for staying organized. However, I’m disappointed with my recent billing experience. My subscription increased from $12 to $26, and I wanted to speak with a customer support representative to understand why. Unfortunately, when I try to submit a sup
16. [R85] Notion 2/5 · US Long documents don’t work on iPhone 12: I’ve used notion for years and it is a great product on desktop! I use long lists with checkboxes and it doesn’t load correctly on iPhone 12. I get 1/5 of the way down the page and it blacks out, shows a loading spinner, and resets me at the top. 100% broken. There is no value on mobile at least iPhone 12. Even when trying to load it is janky AF. Lookin
17. [R7] Google Tasks 1/5 · US Zero for release notes: Bug fixes an improvements, what the hell does that mean? Just try putting something reasonable in here just one sentence that says what you're changing. It's not that hard.
18. [R22] Google Tasks 1/5 · US How is this app so bad?: 1) The Widget is borderline useless especially the square one. The rectangle one isn’t as bad. 2) The UI is bad, old looking, lacks modern appeal. 3) No badge support so you don’t know what’s due unless you use the widget or open the app. It goes in the Notification Center and that’s it. 4) No logic for entry; “Do the laundry at 6 PM on Monday” will literally just wr
19. [R93] Notion 3/5 · US Love BUT…: Every time they update to fix bugs, more bugs appear. Right now I can’t do anything with the app because I constantly get errors that prevents my work from saving. Also can’t make my stuff available off line because of the errors. This app is helpful when it works.
