Coda for Negative User Reviews
✓ Chrome required for pc useI worked with the app a little on my phone, and it seemed pretty good. The major drawback was that it only works with chrome on your pc. I only use Firefox, so this would be a major hassle to just install chrome for this one app..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Mobile app is not helpful at allBased on the reviews, I knew the app was lacking. I mostly use it on my desktop but time and time again… I still get so disappointed whenever I find myself needing to create or make new pages. I don’t even mind paying the 40/month but not having a working app feels a bit inexcusable… sigh..Version: 1.0.23
✓ Ridiculously BadWow, this is really crappy. It crashes constantly and is basically unusable. I’m surprised the team at coda let this get published, it’s embarrassing how bad it is.Version: 1.0.16
✓ Too bad it’s a webviewBasically a webapp in a fake app. It’s very clunky.Version: 1.0.27
✓ Latest update is completely brokenTrying to modify a date field crashes the app to the document chooser. The keyboard is entirely non-responsive when trying to edit a text or number field. The app is currently unusable..Version: 1.0.23
✓ Now too restrictiveIt started of amazingly well. Was a great app. Since they created their paid version it’s prohibitively restrictive. Migrated back to Airtable..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Functions but buggyWeb is great; safari or chrome. Really good! But I’ve been using the app over WiFi on an iPhone 14 Pro for 10mins and it’s crashed twice; and the keyboard hides the cursor now I’m further down the page. iOS app has a lot to do to catch up with Notion. Disappointed..Version: 1.0.44
✓ Great service poor appWebsite is way more functional than this app. Massive annoyance in the UI is that the document outline is on the bottom of documents. Completely unintuitive.Version: 1.0.19
✓ Insanely bad load timesI am on full bars normal network service and am waiting 10 or more seconds to load the home page, and there is no caching so if i go back i wait again at min 10 seconds. Completely unusable for productive workflows with my team unless using it purely on desktop, which is not how I was hoping to be able to access my data and work cross dimensionally..Version: 1.0.23
✓ New version bricks the appThis new update completely bricks the app.Version: 1.0.24
✓ Swing and a missI’ve used coda a bit on the desktop since it came out. Browser limitations and requiring a google account aside, it’s pretty powerful and they’ve been adding features at a good clip. So I was pretty interested to see what they did for a native mobile app for iOS.... this is really setup for phone use only —- such a wasted opportunity. I have an iPad Pro and a full featured Coda that takes advantage of the extra screen real estate would be really powerful. Until then, I can’t see using it on iOS.Version: 1.0.11
✓ Web app: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️I almost feel bad for not giving more stars - the web app is so good! Unfortunately, in comparison, editing coda docs on my iOS device feels clumsy and lacking functionality. - Entire cells get cropped out for no obvious reason - Table layouts overlap - Text within cells gets cropped awkwardly - You can’t directly input data into a cell without expanding the entire row - Pretty much all the doc creation features need to be done on a desktop browser As an iOS app, three stars is generous in its current state, but it has fantastic potential which you can see first hand for free on the web app! I look forward to see where this goes and wish the developers great success. Goodbye spreadsheets as we know them!.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Unusable for the most basic note takingSoo much potential but released too soon. Can’t even add a text note with headers without running into glitchy insertion and text updating in multiple places. Crazy how this got released publicly. 🤞they will fix this quickly as I want to give those formulas a ride..Version: 1.0
✓ InnovativeThis app is unlike others in defining what documents are for business owners. However currently the app is too slow and bulky. I will visit later time and try again..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Coda uses your personal dataCoda’s terms of service is horrible. It specifically calls out that Coda will use, sell, and otherwise make use of your “personal information” for their business purposes, including any personal information that they pull out of the content you upload. I had hoped to use Coda as a versatile database. But some of the information I’d include is confidential. So Coda is a non-starter..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Amazing service, horrible app.Save yourself the pain, and just don't. Just use a browser. Coda doesn't care about app users in any meaningful way, and the experience here is nightmarish. Every other time you open the app (even switching between apps), it crashes. The other times, you still have to sign in again. And again. And again. Load times are abysmal, docs are weird and sluggish, there is zero offline support and if your connection blips, your work is gone. I love coda. I'm on premium paid plans and I've run my life and business out of it for years. But their apps are absolutely worst-in-class, and it's clear they don't invest in them. Coda, send help. Give us a working app. Please. Pleeease..Version: 1.0.24
✓ Needs dark modeThis seems trivial, but I have sensory issues, and the bright orange theme isn’t good for me, as it’s too bright and causes headaches. If there were the option to choose the color, or even just a dark theme, then it would be more accessible. As it is, I can’t use this app yet. 😞.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Good features, performance issuesI like the functionality available on the mobile app, however it often freezes a lot and then a screen with “return to doc list” error appears.Version: 1.0.21
✓ Google account onlyWe couldn’t test Coda at all, as it seems only Google accounts are supported. Those who are outside the Google ecosystem can’t even catch a glimpse of the app. Strange..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Mobile needs a lot of workThis a long way from being mobile ready, at this point it’s mostly user friendly for desktop. I don’t know if this is a high priority, but with the new iOS 13 I-pad I can’t see why any app developer would make an app that’s mainly for Desktop use. Mobile is becoming more and more the future. People just don’t want to stay constricted to a desktop..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Not there yetIt is VERY slow to load/render on almost every screen (and I’m on a gigabit internet connection). It also crashes every time I try to edit a document. The web app works ok, but this mobile app is just unusable..Version: 1.0.23
✓ No search?I’m a long time coda user and am happily paying for its features. I love the desktop search capability, but for the life of me can’t find it on the app. Instead, I get a friendly “show 30 more” button. Not acceptable when you have lots of records as I do (that’s why I pay for the service). Please fix this!.Version: 1.0.18
✓ Never worksI LOVE Coda in a browser, but the app has never worked for me. Just shows me error messages and page not founds. Contacted support, but only suggested help articles on their support page that didn’t help. Definitely don’t rely on using Coda on the iPhone..Version: 1.0.16
✓ My rating of the app does not reflect my rating of the CODA serviceCoda is amazing. The idea for the app to turn docs into “mini apps” is absolutely a fantastic design implementation. However, there are significant issues that disrupt user joy. 1.) slowness of the app to load 2.) it says it works offline, but because it works so slowly, I don’t trust that it works offline Slack’s app had this problem in the early days as well. The background app refresh often cause drafts to disappear and the app would reload causing you to lose your place. Incredibly frustrating because on mobile, you are constantly switching from one app to the next in order to get the information into its appropriate place. The only feature this coda app needs is to load instantly to the last place you Had the app open. Get rid of that stressful loading circle. Omg. If it works offline, then everything about this loading circle tells me that it doesn’t. I’ve never opened the app and seen the ring around less than 4 times. That means I’m literally counting to four. It’s 2020. Kill me. Developers— please find pride in getting your screen changes to happen in less than 200ms. Also the “going back to home” interaction. Takes a stressfully long amount of time to switch between coda docs. That being said — I love the service. You are legends. Keep it up!.Version: 1.0.14
✓ Looks a whole lot better than it functionsBarely feels like a prototype. Slow, glitchy, not worth your time..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Love CodaI love the interface. But compared to Notion, this app is not available offline, which I hate. Please make it available offline and add a dark mode. I understand that this is new and its only version 1.0 of the app, but I am quite sure offline mode is supposed to be standard on all notes app (I know this is a doc app, but it can be used either way)..Version: 1.0
✓ Not a text editor.I thought Coda was a text editor for creating websites. But it’s not. What’s going on?.Version: 1.0.2
✓ No thanksThose smiling Coda users in the introductory video mightn’t be smiling if they realised their data was being shared with unknown third parties. From the so-called privacy policy: “As described above in this Policy, we collect, share, and may permit third parties to collect information about your use of our Service over time” And a Google login, yuk..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Google NO!I downloaded this to see what it offers compared to a similar application I’ve been using. I didn’t get past square one. It requires logging in, which is not uncommon anymore. But your only choice is logging in with a Google account. I don’t do Google if I can avoid it. Buh bye..Version: 1.0.6
✓ We Found A ProblemI’m new to Coda and really excited about its potential. But... mobile is everything to me. If the mobile app doesn’t work then I am not able to use this platform. At least half the time I try to open my document I get the “We Found a Problem” error, the a white screen, then I have to close the app altogether and hope this error doesn’t repeat. This makes Coda unusable to me. I hope it gets corrected because I would love to use this..Version: 1.0.16
✓ Not very User FriendlyThe concept behind Coda is great and it works very well in Chrome but this app can’t deliver the on-the-go experience. It’s not very usable, with lagging interface and actions and it doesn’t react very well to touch commands. You are better off using specialized app to achieve desired goal..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Needs a google accountGuys. When will I be able to sign in with me email address?.Version: 1.0.7
✓ ??? Not sure whyWhy do I need to sign in with my Google account? Why can’t I just make an account with Coda? Do you sync with my Google account to store the coda docs in my Google Drive? This app sounds wonderful, but with the information available here I’m not at all convinced you need me to sign in with my Google Account. Also, I saw on your website that you wanted feedback for a potential pricing structure. Whatever you do, please please please make it a one time purchase! I don’t care how small it is, I will never buy a subscription service because it’s like putting you ideas and work in storage and you have to keep paying to keep it..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Sign in with apple?There's no option to sign in with apple Please fix this.Version: 1.0.16
✓ Google signup ?? Instantly Deleted!Coda is a very interesting and compelling app concept — so much that I immediately downloaded it. After installing it, I realized a Google account was required to use it — seriously?? Instant delete. It’s 2019. Everyone knows Google is a Faustian bargain. Any developer that forces Google on their customers is a developer that cannot be trusted. Too bad. Great concept + flawed ethics = product and company to avoid..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Very BuggyI am a huge coda fan, but their mobile app drives me crazy. It is constantly crashing (or rather, going back to the docs Home Screen) with an error message that says “Coda encountered a problem.” This happens to me literally every time I use the mobile app. Coda developers, please spend less time on feature dev and more on bug fixing and improving the app stability!.Version: 1.0.21
✓ Gmail login brokenI cannot at all log in from my iPad via coda.io - which makes the app completely useless!.Version: 1.0.8
✓ LimitedI’m on an iPad Pro, and I can’t edit tabs, make a blank document, or apply filters to a table. It’s just frustrating when its such a powerful website, but it’s a crippled app, so I might as well just use notepad.Version: 1.0.8
✓ BummerI LOVE Coda. I think it is a super powerful app and was stoked to ditch some other similar apps but when I moved to my iPad Pro as my main computing device I discovered the iOS app is just not up to par with the desktop environment/experience. Unfortunately until the iOS experience catches up to speed I am going to migrate back to another similar app..Version: 1.0.9
✓ This app is a jokePerformance is so poor, regularly reloads when I click a navigation link, everything is so slow to load. This app is useless..Version: 1.0.36
✓ Poor UXClicking on a dropdown list opens the keyboard which then drags the screen down and I have to close the keyboard and scroll up every to just to use the select list which also sometimes closes as this happens. I take it no one from Coda uses the mobile version?!.Version: 1.0.44
✓ For a unicorn company how can it be so bad?For larger docs the app is literally unusable, I can’t even open documents without app crashing..Version: 1.0.36
✓ When potential is ruined by bad TOSCannot be seriously used to transfer any real knowledge or thought into because of blatant access and sharing of data with third parties. Shame. Great app though. Only unusable...Version: 1.0.36
✓ Needs full desktop version on iPad ProDevelopers, please consider creating a way for the iPad Pro to access the full desktop version for editing. Many people like myself who have the latest iPad Pro no longer use their desktop computer because it does everything (except this) that we need! Eventually everything is going to be mobile in the tech world, so you might as well start creating a software that no longer requires desktop. I love Coda besides this one thing. I will definitely update my review to 5 stars once this has changed!.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Bad UI changesReally not happy with the latest all white UI changes. It no longer feels like your docs are apps but just pages in the whole app. Please bing back the old orange top bar and make the back button smaller. Not happy at all..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Great idea, could be implemented betterI have just started using Coda and I love the idea. Is full functionality being developed for the iPad Pro? Right now it looks like creating a custom doc can only be done on a laptop or desktop computer. The I)ad Pro would be incredible to create docs on, much easier than a traditional computer and you could view it right on the device after making it! If this can be done, I would enjoy Coda a lot more..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Clunky, very clunkyGreat features but there are a lot of times I’ll have to re-login, or I’ve been working on a doc that loses my info, edits aren’t live so if a collaborator and I work on a document at the same time we can wipe out each other’s work. The apps are all really slow..Version: 1.0.13
✓ EntrapmentI’ve used Coda since theire beta format more than two years ago. I was told when they started making payment plans that I could keep my docs and not have to pay. Now they are saying my docs are read only because of file size. That info was never offered in the past. They’re literally spreadsheets. Not happening..Version: 1.0.17
✓ I LOVE Coda, but the Mobile / iPad apps need workI’m as big of a Coda fan as you can find but the fact that it runs so poorly on mobile and iPad makes it really hard to use for personal use when it comes to things like task lists, collaborative shopping lists, and anything really once it comes to using tables. When I’m on my desktop, the functionality is a breeze, but the entire workflow feels crippled via the apps. I still recommend Coda to anyone, but I’m disappointed in the Mobile experience..Version: 1.0.26
✓ Looks like it should workEvery time I try to edit a field, the app freezes up. When I try to go to the next entry in the table using the blue arrow keys that sometimes appear, the app freezes up. When I tried it on my iPad, I tried to add color to a font and could only affect the first word. I could not select multiple words and have the color apply to all of them. It is ok to view a table, just don’t expect to be able to edit it..Version: 1.0.23
