Notch reviews

I love how easily the setup was and the options and templates!

I was originally buying this more out of supporting founders of my home country as I did not really see any use for myself ... But this really changed quickly as this is such a awesome and very useful app! I love all the smart thinking and creativity the Notch.so put in here and the continuous development and how it is evolving!

Thank you Notch.so Team! Vielen Dank und macht weiter so! Ihr seid die Besten!

I technically have a tech stack that can do all the things that Notch is designed for. However this experience is alot more pleasant and smooth. This document generator is what Notion pretends to be but is specific and focused.

The Good

-Low learning curve for both myself and my clients
-Loaded with elements like type heading type, 1 click team member bios, tasks, timelines, offers, tables, signatures.....file and video embeddings. This is absolutely feature packed.
-Some branding elements
-Client chat feature with tagging
-Audit trail including interactions with insights (such as time in document)

Opportunities
-Full branding control and the ability to manage multiple brands from one account. I run multiple small businesses and have little need for larger user headcounts. I would rather be able to distribute under multiple brands.
-Templates are ok but I would love to see template blocks. This would allow me to quickly create customized specific agreements with preset blocks where I only have to update the variable
-Speaking of variables--they don't exist as far as I can tell. That should be a relatively easy addition where I should be able to easily add a client contact with some information and it automatically maps to the client data
-Lightweight CRM for clients. This would make the variables function a reality. CRM can literally just be Business Name, Authorized Signer/Rep, Email, Phone and address.

Overall I questioned if I should keep this tool as I don't really need it.....but I'm keeping it.

Its so fluid and intuitive to use that it feels like punishment to use my other existing tool set. Great job so far!

Hey, I just wanted to leave a quick review. I’m a German user and have been searching for a long time for a tool that even comes close to the quality of Notch. I LOVE this tool! If I could, I’d give the developers 10,000 tacos. Everything works flawlessly, it looks incredibly professional, and it’s super easy and intuitive to use. An absolute must-buy!

Thank you so much for this outstanding work!

I've used Notch so far for the management of a rental property, and I like what it brings to the table !

I've been able to easily build up the contract for my renter, and for the first one I didn't use the upload document feature, but I'll give a try for the next one because it seems pretty easy to use and I think it will add up a lot for the user experience on the renters side.

Being able to see it in a all in one platform is great, and the signature process is quick and easy too.

I'm issuing rental payment proofs directly from the platform and its easy peasy !

I'm also building up a platform for my side hustle contractors, the end-user side is clean and easy to use.

Great deal.

Copy Paste still doesn't work, and the buggy editor forces me to refund.

looked very nice at the beginning. but its very complex to use and most features are still missing. i tried to ask but never got an answer.

Pros:
- Clean UI and UX
Cons
- Feature is very limited
- Too focus on "agency" orientation

I am a commercial real estate broker, so when I buy software and use it, it has to reflect a level of professionalism. This barely gets the job done.

1) The Agreements in the template look like they were written by someone in High School, and most likely not someone in the United States. Certainly not a US attorney. In my opinion, none of the Templates are usable.
2) There is zero tutorial on how to use this software as you go through it. Who cares right? We have Youtube for that! Yeah - zero tutorial videos on Youtube. One AppSumo reviewer maybe has a little help but that's it... and it's not super simple to understand the system.
3) Ever use software where the typing/editing is clunky? That's Notch. If you've created a new bullet point with words and you want to delete it, a lot of times it won't delete the bullet point and you find yourself backspacing the words in the item before it. It's clunky.
4) Notch's main component is document signing, right? Well be prepared for a very rigid document process that literally allows you to change nothing about the signature block. And when you see Notch's signature block, you may feel like a European third grader created it. It only offers First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and there's no way to change it. When dealing with other businesses, I often need Company name and Title, and custom fields to show up... this is a very bad limitation in my opinion, especially for a signature signing app - customers want to feel confident in what they are signing, and this is terrible. Sorry, but true.
5) Customer Service is non-evident. There's no phone (I didn't expect it), there's no chat (did expect), the help database really has nothing except a few users questions, and the customer service email is hidden (greyed out on a grey page) at the bottom of the contact us form. I used the contact form and AppSumo questions page - but I guess my question wasn't important and they stopped answering questions on App Sumo after the sale ended. Moreover, whatever automated system they use doesn't check if you have a question waiting before asking for a 5-taco review.

I have a lot more to say but I think you get the point.

I am not trying to hurt Notch sales, but I really get the feeling that they priced this as a great invention and maybe not well thought out software - and I don't like that. Bottom line is it's not worth $400 at the highest tier, which I got... Compared to other platforms, $400 doesn't seem like a good deal when I have to wait possibly a year for them to get their act together.

I am going to keep working with it for another week but most likely end up asking for a refund.

Let me start with what is missing:
- Contact book to save contacts
- Variables that are connected to the contact book
- Uploading your own signature

If this gets implemented, it will be the best contract tool out there. It would make it possible to create automatisations with make.com and scale the process with templates.

What is good:
- Super intuitive design
- Great UX
- Does what is needed

This is the first contract tool that is better than PandaDoc and I looked at several others. I would buy it again.

Great product and fast communication with the creator

copy pasting a cover letter into the canvas pastes it as a single block of unformatted text. All the new lines are presented as that weird thing that happens when you press SHIFT+ENTER, rather than ENTER. This is super annoying because the majority of the workflow getting online with this app is pasting things in here from other documents that we normally send as individual documents. If you're going to call yourself the Notion of contracts, please try to have the same attention to detail.

I got the product and return the very 1st day. I tried to upload a document that I created as I would do in Docusign. I struggled to place signatures and date fields on the document that I created and uploaded. Whereas in Docusign it is a breeze. Not worth a try and false advertisement that it is a Docusign replacement.
