Keeps You Organized...Focused

I easily get overwhelmed when my task list gets huge. We are in the midst of flood recovery and there is a lot to do. Sometime one task has to be complete before the next can begin. This app keeps it organized and flowing. I can easily reorder tasks if priorities change or add new ones when they arise.
It’s also helpful if you work a lot like I do. Sometime you think you will continue a household project tomorrow and somehow can’t seem to get back to it for a month (year). The app helps keep your original plan intact and lets you pick up where you left off.

Still the best

I’ve been using a different outliner app for a while because I’ve been sort of forced to. Recently I missed this one so much I switched back, it felt so good to use it again. Efficient display of information and can quickly edit and move things. Love it.

This IS the outliner app you’re looking for

If I created a task list of every feature I wanted in an outline app, every box would be checked!

Having a desktop solution is wonderful as I’m often in front of my PC at home or at work when I think of items or changes to add to my lists.

So easy to use, so useful

Syncs like a dream, have been using for many years, and found nothing that comes close to its simplicity, ease of use, and sophistication.

Hands down the app stores most effective outliner

Since the update (I’m guessing) text in an outline (row) has a tendency to overlap.

Any hopes of a dark mode surfacing? Thanks for having the best outliner available. I work in tech support and have owned Outliner from its inception. The online version is extremely helpful to me in my work as well as the pocket version.

Without it I’m the average tech with it I’m head and shoulders above the rest of the team “organization wise at least”. My supervisors can’t figure out how I can juggle so many task so efficiently. I own Omniplan, OmniOutliner, etc. etc. etc. but all I’ve ever needed was this app.

You really should consider a fresh coat of paint on it (Box integration would be helpful) and charge a more appropriate price. Thanks for all the years of great service as you have helped me in my numerous endeavors while assisting in increased job opportunities and wealth.

Good solid functional outliner

I’ve used this product for a long time. It’s my go to app to organize complex stuff where I want to be able to drill down or step back for an overview.
I really enjoy seamless syncing between devices and a web app. It just works.
Fabulous product for whatever I paid for it so long ago.

Superb (with one request)

This is a very well thought through solution that makes creating multi-level outlines super easy. It’s a pleasure to use.

My one request is for hyperlink support - making links in the outline or notes tappable will extend the app’s usefulness even more.

The Outliner I use Every Day!

I just pulled some notes from this app from a trip six years ago, and that reminded me to give this program a long-overdue great review. It’s wonderful to have information and lists so readily available.

I use this Outliner for do-lists, shopping lists, as a short-hand diary, and for project planning. I take notes at conferences; having all those notes/logs in one place is a great asset for my work. Easily exported with OPML if needed.

The beauty of this app is its simplicity and reliability. The one bad review was probably user error. This program has never, ever crashed on me. I use it on an iPad and an iPhone, and sync to the cloud.

There are so many costly, overblown outliners on the market. But for daily use, Simplicity Rules!

Elegant & Focused! But Eats Up Files

First the good news, then the bad.
Yes I’ve use just about every outliner app and program out there over the years. Fancy $60 versions plus their $30 sucker Pro version upgrades.

But congrats to this Outliner app developer for a refreshing ease-of-use and logical organization of data features.
Simply elegant.

Congrats For giving us a quick learning curve so we can put this app to work right away. Thanks for timely updates & not over thinking or cluttering with bloated features. Thx for preserving and carefully extending the elegance of your app.

Improvements? Maybe a few Suggs on that later. For now busy putting this great app thru its paces helping me org some issues.
Bottom Line: Earns 5-Stars!

- Now The Bad, REALLY BAD:
Update: NOT a stable app. Worked great until opening the app one day only to find my most important file simply disappeared. No warning. Just out of the blue gone. Can’t trust Outliner. Tec Supp offered no explanation.
Earns TWO STARS...that may be generous.

Easy to use, reliable

One of my most used apps. It’s great for frequently referenced lists, quick to-do lists, and checklists that I reuse often. Syncing through Dropbox reliably keeps my information current among my many devices.
