Notion app for iOS: Open in Mobile App button doesn't work with some browsers

iOS 13.4.1
Notion app for iOS (version 1.4.14)
Date: 04/20/20

Description:

Here's a minor problem that I noticed today with the Notion app for iOS.

There's a couple different areas of the app which allow the user to send out links to things like Workspaces.

When these links are opened using a mobile web browser on an iOS device, the user will see an option to "Open in Mobile App" - which opens the Notion app if it is installed on the user's device.

This is what the button looks like, when accessed via links:

With the Notion app installed on my iOS device, this link works with Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

This link does NOT work for me with other browsers such as the DuckDuckGo, Cake, and Opera.

I am guessing that you need to install a confirmation pop-up for these browsers?

Here's a video of what I am seeing:


Steps to Reproduce:

1. With Notion installed on your iOS device copy a link like: https://www.notion.so/6ca1af04756d4bc09847165e3943a2a8
2. Open the link using either the DuckDuckGo, Cake or Opera browsers
3. Click on the "Open in Mobile App" link

Result: The "Open in Mobile App" link doesn't work with the DuckDuckGo, Cake or Opera browsers

Expected: The "Open in Mobile App" link should work with the DuckDuckGo, Cake or Opera browsers

Notion app for iOS: Non-working Go Back option

UPDATE - FIXED:



iOS 13.4
Notion app for iOS (version 1.4.11)
Date: 04/04/20

Description:

Here's a minor user experience complaint/suggestion for the Notion app.

I just read about the app, and downloaded the iOS app to try it out. When someone first launches the Notion app, they'll arrive at a screen that looks like this:

On this screen, if the user selects the "continue with email" option, the user is taken to a screen where there's a large "< Go Back" option. The only problem is that tapping on this "Go Back" option does nothing. It doesn't work...



Nothing drives me more nuts with iOS apps than non-working pieces of the UI!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Notion app for iOS
2. From the "Welcome to Notion!" screen, click on "continue with email"
3. Click on the "Go Back" option in the upper left

Result: There is a non-working "Go Back" option during the account creation process with the iOS app

Expected: There should not be a non-working "Go Back" option during account with the Notion iOS app
