Nope, I guess I will just have to keep using Excel for now. I thought it would allow me to easily access the data while traveling. I tried to use a Notion Database to replace my current Excel checkbook register. Let’s face the fact that trying to use formulas on a Notion database sucks. In addition, all the files are backed up on AWS which means that you are limited to accessing through Chrome or Safari. You can only open files through the web service. There is not any local file storage and management. This is a pain if you have a hefty CRM that needs to be loaded up or you’ve started to use databases for managing a journal and want to go back and browse your history. Let’s face the facts, that bigger databases can take a few seconds to load and they do not work well offline.

Now, to give Notion some credit they have stated that they are working on this issue and hope to resolve it when the next major update is released. Individuals have reported this happening while they were working on airplanes and the end result is not so nice.

#Notion offline Offline
Also, updates made while offline do not always sync correctly. If this is the case, then you will not be able to access them. The major issue with using Notion offline comes when you have not preloaded the pages. Yes, the application does work offline but not very well. My goal is today is help you make a fully informed decision on whether Notion is suitable for your business or not. Especially, if you are looking for an application to use in your business. However, I would be remiss if I did not tell you the flaws with the application. In this episode, I discuss the most common flaws with Notion. #Notion claims to be an all-in-one #productivity application however it is not perfect.
