What Users Really Think About Coda

Mobile app is essentially a broken viewer with 1-2 year old unaddressed bugs, causing desktop-loving users to switch platforms entirely

"This app is honestly a big reason I turned my company away from coda and to notion."

"I'll probably switch to another platform because th"

Cannot press the "got it" button to continue to actually use the app after signing in with Apple. Literally can't use it.

I love Coda for web, but the iPad app has become completely unusable for me in the last 6-12 months. I keep hoping there will be an update to fix it, but when I log in, it cannot load my documents.

Can’t load any data, even for small docs it struggles
