Answers & Discussion
I use Notion mobile every day, but my setup is simple. Grocery lists, content ideas, travel notes, and a personal journal. If you keep pages clean and avoid giant databases, it is fine. People make Notion too complicated and then blame the app.
Notion is much better on desktop if you are building databases, dashboards, or complicated pages. On mobile, I mostly use it to capture quick notes and check lists. It can work on a phone, but setting everything up from scratch feels slow.
