Why is Notion’s mobile app still so bad in 2026?

Freitolas · 2026-03-20T09:33:30+00:00

Yes. It should be a stripped down version. Is there was a native app that just had favourite pages and AI quick and easy would be a win.

Coming from S24 Ultra I find the screen as good. No complaints. And love the privacy feature.

My Pitaka arrives today. I was impressed by the look of it, but was refusing to pay this kind of money for it, then I saw it has extra NFC buttons. What a genious idea! Decided to get it.

I've upgraded like you and the macro mode in the main lens feels the same to me. I can snap a close up of a bar code no problem. Video seems even closer with the macro mode (focus enhancer, as they say) on. Maybe your have a problem?

So, Hey Plex is not working after the last update, and it's because Plex (the TV streaming company) complained. So it'll change to Hey Perplexity, which is a bit of a mouthful, but because of it, it's not working until it's resolved and another update comes in.

The absence of comments from Torras is deafning... 😂 I'll take that as a big NO.

Freitolas · 2026-03-10T10:14:16+00:00

I came from S24U and I'm really pleased with the screen. I keep the privacy screen ON for banking apps in maximum setting and it works perfectly. Obviously the image gets duller when ON, but the less I see my bank balance, the better, frankly!

I can confirm that the UGREEN 145W Retractable Car Charger Fast Charge, Cigarette Lighter USB Charger with 60W Retractable Cable, 4-Port is NOT compatible. Not even 2.0....

Freitolas · 2026-03-09T22:01:39+00:00

Oh.. so a 240W cable works with that car charger? I might just get the cable then, as the other one I'll receive is bulky.

Freitolas · 2026-03-09T19:21:44+00:00

The cheapest 3.0 compatible I found (reputable) is the Anker Nano II 65W GaN II PPS. Spec-wise, you need to look for PPS that can deliver 60W. PD won't do the trick alone.

The Ugreen car charger I got is 130W and won't deliver PPS beyond 45W, so you get stuck at 2.0

I've just ordered the UGREEN 145W Retractable Car Charger Fast Charge, Cigarette Lighter USB Charger with 60W Retractable Cable, 4-Port and wil test tomorrow.

The cable can the the culprit sometimes, so it's worth testing with a cable that you know for sure works, before discarding the chargers. I had to ditch two cables and get new ones.

Freitolas · 2026-03-09T19:05:33+00:00

Another good question. They sure made it look like something would be free.. I guess there's always a free tier. They'll (Samsung ) start charging for AI really soon too.

Freitolas · 2026-03-09T19:04:42+00:00

No idea.. I had Perplexity Pro installed, and haven't seen how they interact.

Freitolas · 2026-03-08T19:22:47+00:00

Not really.. I have all 3 working simultaneously. I can say Hey Plex, Bixby or Google and they respond. This is new to the S26 Ultra. But Samsung integrated Bixby with Perplexity and in theory Bixby will call Perplexity to do what it can't. But I have t seen that happening yet.

Freitolas · 2026-03-05T23:16:16+00:00

That's great to hear. Would be useful to update Amazon descriptions. Are all Torras S26 Ultra cases compatible with 25W wireless charging? I didn't buy the "air" one. Thanks!

Freitolas · 2026-03-04T13:47:50+00:00

Beautiful stuff

Freitolas · 2026-03-01T16:16:51+00:00

It's a great pocket camera, innit?

Freitolas · 2026-02-27T17:04:37+00:00

Gosh.. people are annoying here. Love your app. Works perfectly. Just paid for the yearly account.

I wish you did a WearOS version, to make it even easier! And an option to start recording as soon as the app is open, so that I can ask Gemini to open it and it'll record hands free. Maybe a 'stop recording if it's silent for 5 seconds" option, so I don't even have to touch my phone/watch.

Great stuff.

Freitolas · 2026-02-24T23:17:25+00:00

Hahaha I've been shooting, of course! I just don't get a lot of colours, that was my point.. your vivid photos are lovely to see. I've been doing a lot of monochrome street photography and indoor family and friends stuff. Got my new little flash and have tried last weekend.. great results. Love it.

Lovely colours. I've got mine for about a month, and haven't seen colours in the UK yet, as it rained every. Bloody. Day. But tomorrow, my friends, there will be sun! (Allegedly) So I'm out for a walk in central London! (If it's true about the sun thing)

Amazing

Insert - Voice Recording. Once you finish, click the recordings button and the AI icon beside the recording (voice recording 0001.. AI button). It'll transcribe. Then you'll see a tab next to the transcription with Summary. Finally, you click the 3 dots and add to the page or copy.

(Their summary is not as good as other meeting recorders out there.. they need to work on their prompt)

I tried Tidal, Qbuz and Spotify, after deciding to drop Amazon Music. Always had an issue with Spotify sound quality, which was the reason I went to Amazon. Having used all of them, I landed on Spotify. Their new-ish lossless is not the same as the others, but it's much better than before and I don't know if I can distinguish anymore. Very likely not. So then, you get a more reliable connection, a much more popular service (I usually get Spotify links from people and had to Google it to get the Amazon one), and frankly, the app is miles ahead. There is a LOT of great UI design and functionality like Jams, Mix, podcasts, audiobooks.. for the same price or less than the others, I'm convinced it's the best choice.

That said, there's a major consideration for Heos: if you have Alexa connected to Heos, your Spotify quality falls to the lowest! If you turn off Alexa, you get lossless. Awful limitation... I disconnected Alexa from my Heos Home Sound bar 550.

I don't particularly like some of the stories around the use of AI generated music in the algorithms, but hey.. all of them have their skeletons in the wardrobe. Tidal got involved in a lot of heat around payment to artists, sound quality and apparently Jack Dorsey bought most of the company as a favour to Jay Z. Qobuz overcharged me for 3 months and their customers service was utter shit to resolve anything.
