Motion Reviews & Product Details

I love using Motion for keeping on top of university. I create projects with all the tasks I need to do for each week, which Motion easily prioritises for me based on when I have the respective class each week. I also love it for prompting my progress when working on assignments, which I can easily break down into stages. I use motion every day so that I know exactly what I need to get done that day. It also easily integrates things scheduled in my Outlook calendar, getting rid of double ups in scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be quite time consuming to set up, and usually takes about half a day to completely set up for a full 12 week semester. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Motion to be rather uninspiring and lacking in value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is unnecessarily complex, with features that add more confusion than value. The AI agents frequently generate irrelevant email replies or meaningless projects. Pricing is extremely high relative to the actual utility. Most concerning, the company advertises a free trial but charges the full subscription almost immediately — a misleading and unfair practice that undermines trust. Overall, the product fails to deliver on its promises and is not worth the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Motion has elevated my productivity to the max. I am am able to enter task for different projects and have an organized and timely calendar to follow. I use motion every single day and it has been instrumental to improving my work flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the program can be a bit glitchy. Just yesterday I accidentally marked a task as completely done but I only wanted to mark that portion done. I searched and searched and couldn't find an 'undo' button. That was frustrating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Motion finds the open spots on my calendar and places tasks in a way that already prioritizes them. I also like that I can reorganize things pretty easily if I need to. Motion helps me to not spend time on my calendar figuring out where to place different tasks that I need to do in between appointments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a lot of family calendars that I use, and I think that I have figured out a way to use it how it is now, but it could be a little bit easier to find times to do things with the different calendars within Motion. For instance, on my Google Calendar, I have a calendar for every one of my children, my husband, and myself. And then I have a family calendar when all of us will be doing something. But then on Motion, I have time blocks for work, anytime, school, and then I homeschool. And sometimes it can get a little bit confusing configuring that with all of my calendars.

I really find Motion easy to use and simple to set up, making getting tasks into the calendar a breeze. Syncing it with my work calendar is really simple as well. What I like most is that when I don't complete a task, it doesn't just fall away or get lost. Motion moves everything around in my calendar so that each task that's supposed to be done actually gets done and doesn't get forgotten. It also notifies me if a task has passed its deadline, allowing me to make it the highest priority to get it finished. The way it helps me prioritize tasks and reschedules them if not completed has been transformational and life-changing for me. It's been brilliant, really ensuring that nothing falls by the wayside.

I can't say there's much at this point. I'm really at the moment using it predominantly for task management. I haven't moved into the project management side. We've tried it with the meeting notetaker, we have other meeting notetakers that we used. It's not that Motion isn't good. It's just that the ones that we have are built in and just are useful for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI customer support is really helpful, unlike other AI customer support systems. The actual human customer support also follows up afterwards regardless of whether you got an answer to your problem. I love the integration it does with my Google accounts, and it let's me combine my private and work accounts seamlessly. I'm very fond of a visual overview of my calendar and my tasks, and Motion does that very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like some features that are intuitive and basic to me, are not thought of to be implemented by now. For example I can only set a fixed weekly work schedule, not let my work hours vs personal hours vary day by day. I also can't allow automatic task scheduling of personal/private tasks when my work calendar is scheduled for a full out of office block. Motion should be able to recognize this and be able to distinguish work tasks vs private tasks and allocate them automatically. I do find it quite a steep learning curve/it took me a while to find a system within Motion to manage my to do's that works for me personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Motion because I can see everything in one place, and then see things in different formats depending on how my brain is working that day. It was pretty easy to set up, and the short videos were super helpful. I also appreciate how it helped me stay organized for work and school, especially when I was getting my master's degree. It allowed me to map out all the things for my classes, deadlines, and things like that. I recommend Motion to people all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really have anything that I dislike about Motion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Motion's AI feature to ask questions about how I'm spending my time and if there's a better way I could operationalize things. It's really helpful in identifying if I've missed something. I also like the feature that allows me to send tasks directly from my email. The AI agenda is something I use daily as it organizes my tasks into what I need to prioritize, helping me to manage everything effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd really love for Motion to have an actual task time tracking feature to see how much time I actually spend on tasks. Right now, I can only put an estimate, like saying something takes about thirty minutes, but it would be helpful to track the actual time spent. This way, I could know if I'm overestimating or underestimating. At the moment, it doesn't have the capability to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Motion is the smart way it automatically organizes tasks and the schedule, helping to maintain focus on what really matters and avoid delays in daily life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about Motion is that the learning curve can be a bit confusing at first, and the price ends up being high for those who are just starting or use the tool in a simpler way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
