Coda

Update: upon further investigation this app only works fully in the Chrome browser. Hopefully that will change in the future. I’ve updated my rating from 2 stars to 4. ———- There are a lot of good reviews here. I will offer a realistic one. This app simply does not work good. It is iPhone only - no iPad version. Additionally, there is no “+” button on the screen to add a table or any other elements, as the tutorials claim there to be. There is only a text format bar when you start typing. Can’t do much with that and basically makes this app useless. That “+” button simply isn’t there. Maybe that is a paid feature, but they’re website says everything is free. The website itself is also not easy to use on an iPad. Touching elements doesn’t always work and the site header disappears sometimes when I am typing. Rating this 2 stars because it looks nice, but shouldn’t even be that high. Even on the website there are screenshots of apps like the Project Tacker and there is no sidebar on the iPad like there is on the screenshots they show on the website.

When I first learned how to use spreadsheet formulas, I thought it was magic. I’d hack a spreadsheet or a google doc for almost everything in life and work (trip planning, project tracking, notes... the list goes on). Now I use Coda for everything AND I DON’T EVEN NEED TO HACK IT. I made a CRM for my apartment search when I moved to Seattle. I planned a trip to Iceland with my mom so we could share our itinerary, expenses, reservations, and emergency info all in one place. I moved my family recipe database from a huge Drive folder to a single Coda doc with cute icons for every section. On a project tracker with my team at work, I made my own view for my tasks that still updates the main tracker when I change a status. Now with the app, I can pull up my recipes on my phone, use buttons to make status updates when I’m not at my desk, or get reminders from my habit tracker doc as push notifications. 🙏🏼 All I can say is YAS.

I’ve been a beta user of Coda for nearly a year now. It has elevated almost every aspect of my team’s operations. Every workflow, every process, every project my team owns is now running on Coda. I can’t say enough about the power that Coda puts at your fingertips. Being able to take a blank sheet and build a near fully functional application-like document in the span of a day is revolutionary. I have almost zero technical experience. With the things I’ve been able to build with Coda, I could have you fooled. Also, the team at Coda are extremely helpful. You really get the feeling that they care about you and that they want to solve problems right along with you. I’m so excited for the launch of Coda 1.0 today!

Ever since I got a taste of the Coda web app, I could not put it down and I almost ditched Google Word and Google Sheet, but they had the advantage of having mobile apps. Coda is the easiest, most beautiful, and smart doc-creating piece of technology I have ever used and quitely, I think everyone should at least try once in their life. It's probably the most innovative tool I've have come across that was created in the last couple of years. It's so much so, that now that THERE'S AN APP that I can't even think of any other app right now that has been more life-changing than this one. THANK YOU CODA GODS FOR BRINGING THIS BABY TO LIFE AND NOW TO MY PHONE.

This software has become the operative system for how we run our company since we were 5. Now we are 12 and one of the reasons why I’m so excited about Coda is it’s flexible design since it will be a great fit even when we are 1000. We are doing so much with Coda, from setting goals, to tracking user feedback and linking it to product features, to onboarding new clients. The last releases (Packs, Layouts, Automation, iPhone App) have put this product way ahead of all other tools I know of in this space.
