What do you like best about Station?

Station is probably one of the platforms I use the most, this simple-looking application has allowed me to switch easily between various tools such as e-mail and task management tools all in one window. Furthermore, there are no costs unlike similar apps like Shift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Station?

There are very little things to actually dislike about this great software, if I could offer some creative criticism would be to perhaps see an option where we could witch between tabs, for example a tab for "work apps" and a tab for "personal apps". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Station:

If you are looking for an application that keeps you focused and allows you to switch between your faviourite applications all in one place, then Station is the platform to go to, plus it's free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Station solving and how is that benefiting you?

Station Overview

What is Station?

Station helps you find key information scattered across hundreds of apps thanks to a unified search nested in your browser. Whenever you need to access or share any document, task, and information, Station instantly resurfaces the most relevant results intelligently as you go about your work. No more switching through apps, tabs, or asking your co-workers. Station makes information actionable with Power-ups: check your team's latest edits and comments in Google Drive or join your next call instantly without opening your Calendar. You can customize Station to your workflow with tons of other views like pins, frequently visited pages, and more. We're currently working on collaborative features to help teams automatically organize all the knowledge they share across cloud services (like Google Drive), knowledge bases (Notion or Airtable), task managers, and more. Request access to our Beta and be among the first to test it.

What do you like best about Station?

What I like the most about station is that you can have all those apps that you use daily for productivity, monitoring, communication or simply have everything organized and even click away between one app and another Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Station?

I do not like that some keyboard commands from the platforms themselves are mixed with the station's own shortcuts, causing you to jump from apps or things like that when I want to perform an action within slack or within the calendar and suddenly I realize that I am activating a shortcut of my station and not of my app. besides that every day it tells me that I have to update WhatsApp web which I have open from station Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Station:

I recommend using station as it will help you to have everything a little more organized and will make your workflow much more fluid and easy when visiting things like Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Jira, Figma, and other apps that are in your "application store" so that you can add them to your station space and customize it to your liking so that it adapts more and more to you and your day-to-day needs. very easy to use and intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Station solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to have everything in one place and not have a thousand tabs in chrome or overloading the mac OS Dock full of different things that in the end slow down the way I switch from one app to another or even when I need to see the email from my personal google account and also the email from my business account that doing it from the browser is something very tedious and complex. here I have it just one click away Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Station?

Much like Shift, this app allows me to move between key platforms like email, Slack, calendar, etc., through one easy-to-use window, which means I don't have to move back and forth between a million tabs or separate windows. Best of all, it does essentially everything that Shift does, but there's no subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Station?

I wish I could customize the width of the sidebar to make the icons a little bit larger, but this is only a small request at this point in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Station:

If you were like me and looking for an alternative to Shift, don't wait another second. Give Station a try to see if you like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Station solving and how is that benefiting you?

I save time because I don't have to fumble around looking for different tabs or windows to access my most important apps like email or instant messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Station?

Station is a recently introduced internet browser. It offers a single place for all of the web applications of the clients so help busy people to work efficiently. It automatically groups pages required by the clients. Their workspace is cleaner than ever; finding what they need is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Station?

Busy clients use to work on it; they open their accounts, but privacy is not maintained correctly, nor it gives options to manage and operate their minds easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Station is a good way for you get all your apps into a single platform. You can easily switch between your apps as needed, plus you get notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some glitches for certain sites like mailchimp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how it clears the clutter and calms the chaos of all the apps I use. Makes things really clean and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Station?

It can be glitchy and crash or the page won’t load. Minor bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Station solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don’t use so much brain power flipping back and forth between apps, trying to find them on my browser. I think it also has made my computer run faster because it frees up memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Station?

Where do I even begin? I have multiple emails, multiple Slack channels, a Skype account, online accounting, linkedin, dropbox, calendar, google drive... and so many more ALL in one place in an easily clickable app workspace. I don't have to have all of these apps open at the same time, and I get desktop notifications for each one in real time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Station?

The only thing that I dislike about my Station is that when a single app updates it sometimes causes some bugginess with the Station App. This has only happened a few times though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Station:

One of the greatest app downloads in my last year of freelancing. Great notifications, "focus mode" when you need it, and above all, ALL of my most highly utilized apps and functions all in one single app. It does use quite a lot of CPU power, so I tend to keep it open only when necessary on my laptop, but on my home workstation it is ALWAYS open. Absolutely one of my favorite things ever. They are also open to new integrations if you have other apps that you frequently use. Just submit a request for your app! Love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Station solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm saving bandwidth on my CPU by not having all of these collaboration apps open at once. No app-switching, no tab-switching, just everything right where I need it. Also has a "focus" mode for ALL of my apps and notifications, which keeps me heads-down busy when I need to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Station?

Easy addition of apps and having all apps on one screen and very accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Station?

Lack of ability to add your own URL's. This would be helpful for sites that are internal only. Also a weird thing with Okta it shows as one of the built in apps but doesn't have the plugin installed and doesn't recognize it as being installed if used in a browser. This makes this app pretty much useless to anyone but the administrator as it doesn't auto sign you into anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Station:

Be sure to check out the app list before installing. The lack of custom URL's as of this writing may make other products look more enticing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Station solving and how is that benefiting you?

Consolidation of multiple windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
