Coda Reviews: 4.7/5 — Highly Rated

Easy integration with multiple systems. Salesforce is our CRM and avoiding multientry was key. We can do things that even Salesforce doesn't allow us to do. I tried multiple solutions before choosing, and coda was the most flexible one.

Truly, not a lot. It is not dummies proof to create new cool docs at first, but people will learn fast by playing with it. Some stuff requires some formulas that are not easy for everyone.

Coda helped me to build an inventory software for a concept that is very unique. It also allows us to display Salesforce data in a mobile friendly view. Allows more collaboration.

I love that CODA is customizable and that I could creat a vision for what I wanted my doc to look like and I was able to use all of the tools to make it happen easily

Because CODA is really powerful, sometimes it can be tough to figure out how to write a specific formula or make a button work and the help tools don't always solve the problem.

It allows my team to manage our progress on projects and plan for upcoming work sprints and keep track of what we have completed. We also use coda for our annual planning exercise

Being admit to formulate and automate tasks.

Steep learning curve makes it difficult to handover doc adjustments.

Byilding simple apps to track daily tasks, analyse databases, manage marketing.

Coda bridges the gap between words and numbers by combining documents and spreadsheets, which is very cool. Coda goes on to implement the spreadsheet as a database, with all the advantages that that brings. Add in a powerful formula language and a pinch of web publishing, and you have everything you need to manage all your dynamic, structured documentation requirements.

The formula language is not intuitive (and somewhat different to the Excel philosophy). The learning curve is somewhat steep but well worthwhile. I missed the ability to document tables, columns and formulas in situ, which would facilitate transparency.

Coda gives me hybrid, collaborative docs, allowing me to mix text and numbers with advanced formulas and automations to create wonderfully valuable applications. I love the no-nonsense approach to formatting. Text is large or small, serif or san serif. Colour highlighting is limited etc. etc. This allows me to focus on the job at hand and coda to deliver an excellent responsive experience across devices.

Remarkably easy to use, but also very powerful. The tables and integrations with other apps make this app a game-changer for me. Every part of the app is very well thought out, and it's surprisingly easy to discover new things it can do just by using it normally. Every point of contact with this app, from the interface and features to documentation, support, and its community, is truly a pleasant experience. It's already an excellent product, but they continually and frequently improve performance and add new features. Even the pricing model is well thought out, making it accessible to any business, no matter the size.

Two-way cross-doc would be an improvement.

I'm using Coda to quickly and easily bring together data from multiple other apps. I'm able to keep track of the status of projects across multiple apps and report on consolidated data. So much easier and more pleasant to use than Google Sheets for this.

The Coda.io platform allows me to combine databases, spreadsheets, docs, & presentations onto 1 surface without writing code. I have tried others but always return to Coda. Key features that I like include: linked tables that serve as fully functioning databases, the ability to refer to data in my tables on the text canvas, the collapsible feature for text, and the overall ability to consolidate multiple disparate apps into one Coda doc canvas.

Learning Coda.io's formula syntax requires a slight learning curve. However, it is well worth it as the formula language is what prevents you from having to write code. Also, if you have experience with spreadsheets, over time, you will find that Coda's formula language is more intuitive and easier to build with than traditional spreadsheet formulas.

Problems I am solving with Coda: During the pandemic, I used Coda to manage my three kids' learning content for at home learning. This allowed me not to have to log in to three different apps to help my kids with school. I also use Coda for the following: project management, task management, notes, recipes, work reports, and paying bills. These are just a few of the ways I use Coda.

How easy it is to create really powerful docs

Formatting/layouts is still under development.

I have put Coda to a variety of uses. Everybody first does a type of GTD implmentation. Me too. I use it as a personal Information manager, and it covers all areas - health, financial, social, family tree and to do list. Very little remains in spreadsheets, and if it does, the files are referenced from Coda. This means that everything is easy to find, from a single search menu. I no longer need to search through folders and folders to find spreadsheets. For corporate use I have built a tool that allows for the collation of new requirements for software design. It includes a central repository for each requirement, and an action list, with various views: per person, per requirement, per team, per due date.

Great engagement of Codans and actively listening to the community

Not yet 100% ready for the European market, like the date format.

Quality, compliance, standards and knowledge bases are the most common use cases.

Coda is like a mini application. I love that I can design and build something that can engage and encourage people to add their feedback and input without feeling overwhelmed. Creating interaction points for the team is very intentional.

The least helpful point about Coda is that it's not so easy to share or invite people to Coda. With Airtable, it's easy to set up an invite link that can be set for certain type of access. It would be great to have something like that so people can choose what email address to join Coda with instead of me asking people which email address to use.

We're using Coda to create a space for managing meetings and projects. We've found that Coda is phenomenal for creating a simple, intentional space to collaborate. It's helpful to create views that can create focus.

Able to organize all your documents and superpower your documents

Project management features are missing in my opinion

Personal organization for all my projects and planning out business ideas
