Motion: Apple gift to community
Overall it’s really great Softwares that completely compliments Final Cut Pro . I created many ad films using the software for various media houses like Zee , MSTV , Doordarshan etc
PROSMotion is really very advanced tool that is used for VFX, character animation, compositing, Text animation etc . The best part of motion is optical frame regeneration technic which helps you to regenerate new frames rather than interpolation, when you restrict the video to longer duration
CONSCamera tracking is really difficult to go with the software I hope they will work on it. Motion is now becoming end of the line product
Reasons for switching to Motion
This is directly intigreted with Final Cut Pro and delivered quality output in very less time

Motion: Your personal assistant for appointment and event management.
As an IT intern at my university, I had the opportunity to work with Motion as part of the division's initiatives to enhance its scheduling procedures. I found Motion to be a very powerful tool that helped me better organize my schedule throughout the time I used the program. The app was easy to use, with clear navigation and a broad feature set that allowed me to modify my calendar to suit my particular needs. All things considered, Motion far beyond my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and user-friendly calendar management solution.
PROSMotion is an effective calendar management program that offers users a wealth of tools and features to assist them in managing their hectic schedules. Users can simply book meetings, manage their appointments, and keep track of significant events all in one spot using Motion. Motion's straightforward interface and user-friendly design make it simple to operate, and its robust functionality enables users to tailor their calendars to their individual requirements. Motion is the ideal tool to keep you organized and on top of your calendar, whether you're a busy professional or a student trying to keep track of your tasks.
CONSOne potential drawback of Motion is its pricing structure, which may be a bit steep for some users. While the software offers a wide range of features and tools, the cost of a subscription may be prohibitive for those on a tight budget. Additionally, some users may find the interface to be a bit overwhelming at first, particularly if they are not familiar with calendar management software. However, with a bit of practice and familiarization, most users should be able to navigate the software with ease.
Reasons for switching to Motion
While there are many calendar management tools available on the market today, Motion stands out for its powerful functionality, user-friendly design, and wide range of customization options. Unlike some of its competitors, Motion is specifically designed to help users manage their busy schedules more efficiently, providing a wide range of tools and features to help them stay on top of their appointments, meetings, and events. Additionally, Motion's integration with other software and applications makes it a versatile tool for professionals in a wide range of industries, from healthcare to education to finance.

Get Something Else
Overall I would say go get Reclaim because seriously it can't be worse than Motion and since I've used motion they've released new features to make it better and easier.
PROSI liked what I thought it did at the time.
CONSI thought the bugs would get fixed and features developed. The things I hate the most about Motion is that it doesn't connect to Asana. When creating a project you can't connect projects to do one after the other. I hate that it doesn't assign things correctly unless you force it to. I hate how many workarounds are needed to make this thing work. It's a giant pain in the ...
Reason for choosing Motion
It was a stupid mistake but I thought it would answer my pretty basic needs but it doesn't.

The to-do list to end all to-do lists
Right now, I use motion on my own at the office and I have been impressed with how much more in control of my schedule I feel. Setting work hours for scheduling creates boundaries and targets for me to meet each day so I am not working late into the night.
PROSI like that it prioritizes my to-do list for me. Easily reshuffles tasks and events based on unexpected fire drills at work. Calendar syncing allows for awareness of what I have going on and what I should be working on to stay on top of things.
CONSThe UI for inputting tasks still feels clunky at times. There is no way to sort or reorder projects within a workspace, for example (although you can filter). I wish there was a better way to track progress on tasks other than just completing chunks of a task or manually changing the time to completion. Sometimes tasks take me longer than I anticipate, so being able to adapt to that schedule wise would be helpful.
Reasons for switching to Motion
I wanted something that would help me prioritize tasks in addition to tracking them.

Best software for calendar and task management
It helped me reduce the number of pieces of software I am using for personal task management and project management and a calendar scheduling tool as it does all of it in one!
PROSLove how easy it is to put tasks in my calendar and how it helps me plan my day. Keeps me more organized.
CONSI look forward to the team building even more project management collaboration features as the project manager is still relatively new.
Reasons for switching to Motion
Because these were all separate tools and Motion does each of these things better than the individual tools.

Fantastic task management with auto-scheduling built in
We've been using Microsoft ToDo and Microsoft Project for our project management for the longest time, however the "single view", "everything on one page" list of tasks has been an eye opener.
PROSAs someone who is Autistic and ADHD, having the ability to have all of my tasks in a single pane and having them automatically scheduled in my calendar based on priority and deadline has been fantastic.
CONSWe'd really like to be able to share Motion projects externally, even just read only, or at least have an export to PDF option. We are unable to share task lists with customers but we are currently investigating an option for this using the API.

Motion an Awesome Tool for Work and School
Best management tool ever
PROS-The AI Assistant that helps me set time blocks throughout my day to do my tasks-The different calendars to help me label appointments, meetings, and events-How easy yet thorough it is to establish tasks to be scheduled in.
CONS-Doesn't sync with iCal, my primary calendar-Not sure what to do with bookings just yet-When you create a task for a project you can create subtasks, but they dont appear as tasks on the main weekly calendar, I'd like to see the sub-tasks.

Wheels-in-Motion
Motion helps me get the most out of my (work) day, so that I am laser focussed and productive.
PROSMotion has made it easier than ever for me to streamline, and automate my task flow. I work in a fast paced start up environment where things are constantly changing and incoming briefs change the priorities constantly. With Motion, I'm able to effectively view my capacity which is allowing me to:- Report up; effectively communicate capacity, workload and priorities- Maintain a better work life balance; by structuring tasks to the hard "container" of my work hours to ensure I am not at risk of burnout, plus giving myself micro breaks throughout the day after a series of meetings
CONSIt would be awesome to connect with others and collaborate on certain tasks, or send a live link to projects I work on where others are not yet Motion users. Other: It's costly, but worth it if you maintain your end of the bargain and update the dashboard often.

Great Schedule App
I've heard the benefits of time blocking your schedule many times, but never took the time to put into practice. This app makes it very easy to do so, and it has essentially kept me from having so many lists of things to do. The app keeps track of what needs to be done and schedules it accordingly. I wish I had found this years ago. In my job I am someone who often gets pulled away from the task at hand. This app makes it easy to regroup and prioritize what needs to be done and what can be put off until tomorrow. It also makes you take notice when you keep pushing off that annoying task that you dread or that is really hard and motivates you to just do it and get it done. It also prevents you from dilly dallying when you know you only have so much time set aside to get something done. Lastly, when it seems the the to-do list is just never ending, it makes things feel more manageable by helping you lay out what you will do one single day, making things seem more achievable.
CONSNot too many negatives. Sometimes it is a little slow to readjust the schedule when you make changes, but it usually gets it done within about 10 - 25 seconds.

PROSThe auto schedule feature is the best thing about Motion. It ensures that I’m not forgetting tasks around all of my meetings.
CONSI’d like there to be a bulk upload feature for tasks. Sometimes it’s easier to create in a spreadsheet than reproduce the same tasks for various clients over and over again.

A useful tool that is too expensive and can be replaced by free alternatives
Motion allowed me to quickly add tasks and meetings with a convenient set of options. However, Apple Calendar can do a similar job for free and I reverted to my good old Apple Calendar.
PROSI like how you can see your next tasks on the landing page. You can drag an item on the calendar, pretty much like Apple Calendar, which makes it very easy to create a new event. Just give it a name and you're good to go. You can go ahead and customize your task easily, choosing a priority and a deadline for it. A nice feature that Motion has is the ability to split your task into chunks, and give it a minimum chunk duration. When adding a flexible meeting, you can specify the type of meeting (Zoom, Google Meet, Phone number, Location), it is not unique to this app, but is a must-have feature for such app. All your tasks, past and current, are easily accessible via the Task menu. From there, it is easy to reorganize / reassign the tasks.
CONSI found it slower on Safari than on Chrome. When adding two tasks or a task and a meeting together, there is no reaction from Motion when I would expect a warning that two items happen at the same time... Sometimes prioritized tasks is a bit confusing. I've had issue with some prioritized tasks didn't show up in my calendar, but showed up in 'My Tasks". It may have been a bug.
Reasons for switching to Motion
I wanted a more developed tool.

The best scheduling application available but the cost is outrageous!
There is no doubt about it, Motion is an excellent application that will actually save you a considerable amount of time. Additionally, being told what to do (within set parameters) has really helped my efforts to get things done. Providing I note a task in Motion together with a due date, I can forget about it until it's time to work. The scheduling feature is also very well put together and I will use it for all external appointments.
PROSI love the ability to quickly add a task, approximate duration and deadline within 10 seconds. I don't need to worry about clashing schedules or not having enough time during the day. I also really like the look of the application and found the introduction videos to be very helpful in navigating the app for the first time.
CONSI wish Motion didn't have to rely on a third-party calendar (Google or Outlook). Support tickets take 2 business days to get a response. For the price you would expect 24/7 assistance and a dedicated calendar.
Reason for choosing Motion
Trusted functionality.

Great Task Scheduler & Calendar App
I love being able to put in a variety of tasks on different projects - work, personal projects, home organization, etc - and watching the AI organize my day / week for me according to my own priorities! It's amazingly easy to use.
CONSThe issues I have with Motion are minimal - I am looking for a few features to be added, like easier color coding on the calendar events, the ability to change the busy/free part of events that I'm invited to by others, being able to easily check off tasks on the project tab, a quick undo if I mark a task as completed by accident, and a better system / notifications when a recurring task can't be scheduled.
Reasons for switching to Motion
I LOVED the idea of an app that blocks out my day automatically with my tasks, given parameters that I put in.

I should have given in sooner
Couldn't be better. It was exactly what I was looking for and it pays for itself.
PROSI've been getting Motion Ads for 2 years and it always intrigued me. I just never bought in before, but I'm glad I did eventually.It was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't figure out a way to juggle all of the things I need to do while keeping them on my calendar at the same time. I live by my calendar so just that part alone is huge.It makes a huge daunting task list look visually possible to do. It is the closest you can get to the equivalent of an assistant organizing your calendar for you.
CONSI wish you could choose which calendar a task goes to instead of just having a default calendar for your tasks. You can do this with events, but I don't see how to do this with tasks.

It has definitely made me more productive and less stressed, but it is a journey to learn to trust that 'Motion' knows best. when you give in to it, it really does deliver what it promises, but I also manage it on a daily basis as priorities shift, but it gives me confidence that nothing will be forgotten or missed.

I also like the calendar functionality that allows you to send various options of availability to people when trying to book a meeting.

Terrible product. Even worse service
Very poor. Gave up on the platform after a month and tried to cancel and get a refund which was declined. OK, fair enough. But, then 11 months later they took the renewal and ignored every single follow-up email I made. This behavior means I am leaving my first 1-star software review.
PROSI wouldn't say I liked anything about this software, particularly if I compare it to other similar platforms. There is nothing superior about it.
CONSThe interface. The UX. Everything is click-intensive and unintuitive. Equally bad, their support team is unresponsive.
