Motion Reviews & Product Details

I LOVE that it just tells me what to do. What that means is, is that although all my tasks are screaming at me to be done all at the same time, these tasks can be done without stress because I KNOW there will be a selected time to do each one of them. And that is the difference between overwhelm and peace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is a little steep. But I still pay because I need it. OH! The main thing right up front was the very very short trial period. I literally binged on learning it doing nothing else, hyperfocused for the whole two weeks, and that was only barely enough time to figure out if it was going to be something I wanted to sign up for. Two weeks is ridiculously short to familiarize oneself with the program (that has a pretty steep learning curve) and THEN decide if it is going to work well (once you do finally get it working). So yeah - WAY WAY too short of a trial period. So the steep price plus the very short trial period make y'all seem a little bit greedy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, I used Motion as an AI task scheduler and project management tool, mainly to create projects for my freelance work and keep track of client deadlines. Later, when they introduced the AI Notetaker, I began using it at my workplace as well. The AI Notetaker not only transcribes calls but also provides summaries and generates action items as tasks. In September, they launched AI Employees—virtual AI assistants—which ended up saving me the first two hours of my workday by organizing my emails, responding to them, and helping me prepare for meetings by sorting through emails and meeting details. Now, these agentic workflows handle my email organization, draft responses, and send me daily meeting overviews. Overall, I find it to be a very useful tool.

At first, I found it somewhat challenging to figure out how it works, as the available documentation from AI Employees is rather limited. Additionally, the pricing is somewhat higher compared to other competitors, but the increased turnover makes up for it, since time is money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Motion to be very user-friendly, which makes it easy to navigate and manage. Once I took the time to learn the system, it became quite clear and simple to use. I particularly appreciate how it allows me to organize my day efficiently. The AI functionality is impressive, as it keeps my calendar and tasks in line, contributing to my productivity. The initial setup of Motion was straightforward, with clear and simple instructions, supported by helpful tutorial videos. These resources equipped me to lead my team through training effectively, allowing them to set up and use Motion proficiently. I also like how I can use it for project management within our organization, which enhances our internal communication on specific projects and helps us stay organized with our tasks. The AI functions also support brainstorming and generating fresh ideas, while Motion helps us keep track of tasks, conversations, and deadlines, thus creating accountability.

I have encountered issues with the integrations, specifically with Google Sheets. Despite trying multiple times, the integration does not work for me, which hinders my ability to fully utilize Motion's capabilities. Additionally, when I attempt to connect, an error message appears, indicating a problem in the integration process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Motion's sleek design, which helps me keep my numerous calendars organized and all in one place. One of the standout features for me is the ability to create tasks directly from emails, which I find very helpful and time-saving. Additionally, I value the ease of initial setup with Motion; it was very straightforward, and over time, I learned how to integrate more of my data seamlessly.

I find Motion to be very complicated and overwhelming, especially for a single individual user like myself. The plethora of complex features feels more suited for business use rather than personal. If there was an option to separate business from individual personal use, I believe it would be much more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Motion for two years to efficiently organize my personal and professional calendars across different businesses. Initially, I started using Motion after seeing an Instagram ad, and have been impressed by its straightforward setup process, which went smoothly without complications. One of the standout features I love about Motion is its capability to manage multiple calendars in one day, allowing me to overlap tasks when necessary. This feature significantly enhances my ability to organize my day efficiently, without having to remember too much detail about my workflow, thereby simplifying my daily, weekly, and monthly schedules. The price point of Motion is very attractive, encouraging me to continue using the platform. Moreover, I regularly recommend Motion to others, rating it a perfect 10 out of 10. I find Motion to be a simple tool that aligns well with my needs and cognitive preferences, avoiding unnecessary complexities that could overwhelm my capacity for organization.

I find that there is a lot going on in Motion, which can be overwhelming for my brain. I would prefer a simplified or streamlined interface that focuses on what I need when I need it. The current layout feels cluttered, and understanding what I'm doing and when is not as straightforward as I'd like. There's a need for improved flow and simplified language to enhance usability.

I find Motion pretty easy to set up, as I just had to get the schedules correct. It makes handling my tasks much more manageable by prioritizing them in the order they need to be done. This is incredibly helpful given the high volume of tasks I have from medical school, work, and daily life. Where I once manually entered tasks into a calendar and had to redo them if not completed, Motion now allows me to rearrange tasks easily and helps avoid the tedious task of redoing everything. I appreciate the feature that automatically refers to tasks when I check something off, which is very useful for my other projects. Furthermore, I enjoy how Motion allows me to add blockers, ensuring tasks are done in the correct sequence. Its integration with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook helps me seamlessly manage my schedules across different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find entering data in Motion challenging because there are too many buttons on the task list, making it difficult to select and categorize under a certain project. The repetitive clicking can be quite tedious. I would prefer if this process were streamlined. Additionally, the software can be slow at times, which makes entering a large number of tasks cumbersome. Another downside is the steep pricing, which can be prohibitive for students like me in medical school, who have limited funds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Motion has completely transformed the way I manage my time and priorities. I love how it automatically plans my tasks, meetings, and breaks in a perfectly optimized schedule. It removes the mental load of deciding what to do next and helps me focus on deep work. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the AI is remarkably accurate in adjusting to last-minute changes. It’s the first productivity tool that actually thinks for me instead of giving me more work to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile app could also be smoother and a bit faster to sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it frustrating that there's no dedicated app for the iPad, which makes using the product less convenient as I have to rely on a phone-sized display instead of utilizing the larger screen of an iPad. Additionally, the pricing is quite expensive, which affects my likelihood of recommending it more strongly to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The task automated scheduling is my favorite followed by the ability to forward emals that involve dates/events/tasks. Brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that when the automation shifts a task to a different time that has been automated it will lock it in place. Sometimes I don't care where something is, I just don't want it at that one particular time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
