User Reviews

Notion is praised for being easy to use, with a solid instrument library and strong score/notation capabilities, plus good cross‑platform use and accurate score printing. However, users frequently report data loss after updates, persistent login/purchase issues, unstable copy/paste, missing core features (GM sounds, MIDI-out) and chord diagram editing, and concerns over subscription pricing gating features. Overall, usability and workflow are strong, but reliability, feature completeness, and pricing are common pain points.

Pros

Easy to use with an intuitive interface across iPad and Mac
Wide instrument library / instrument variety
Strong scoring/notational capabilities and considered a solid workhorse for score creation
Good cross-platform interoperability between iPad and Mac desktop
Accurate printing of orchestral scores and parts

Cons

Data loss and unreliable backups: scores can be erased or lost after updates or overhaul
Login/sign-in and restore purchases problems: accounts get stuck, purchases not being recognized
Copy/paste across measures is buggy or unreliable
Missing core features and chord diagram editing removal: GM sounds, MIDI-out, and chord diagrams limited or removed; some percussion sounds missing
Subscription pricing and gating: ongoing fees, locking features behind a subscription, and perceived paywalls

This app suddenly doesn't export PDFs properly anymore. Many of the notes are "frameshifted" in that they're not quite on the line or not quite in between the lines. This results in zillions of wrong notes on playback when I upload a PDF from Notion to my Playscore2 app. I've uploaded the PDFs to Forscore and Genius Scan and to iPhone/iPad Files and still this problem of "frameshifted" notes persists. Fender Notion, I'm a dedicated client of this app of many years and I am asking you to repair this MAJOR glitch. Otherwise I will reluctantly search out other apps and give up on you forever.

I wasn’t expecting much from a mobile notation software, so I will take some of the blame for entrusting too much to this app. But oh my goodness, they have a limit on registering your account… don’t buy the bundle they have advertised because it really doesn’t do much, the pen tool is very inaccurate and a headache to work with. You spend $16 on a pack with mediocre sound libraries (again don’t expect much from a mobile app) and you only get like 3 times of signing back into your account before they tell you the limit is exceeded. Joke of a company and joke of a piano app. This makes Flat look good.
