Best outline app available
I have used this app for a number of years and it is the best, easiest to use app available for creating outlines. I use it daily for tracking home tasks, grocery lists and general to-do lists, as well as using it at work to track my project work. It makes it easy to create and use small lists, but it is particular fast and effective for large lists, eg some of my lists have 2500+ items with up to 5 levels of sublists. The app has gradually improved over the years by adding a variety user-requested features. It has been well-maintained, and upgrades and bugs fixes are provided quickly unlike many iOS apps. I can fully recommend this app to anyone who wants to creates lists and outlines of any size on Apple devices.

Been using for years. Thee best list keeper
This app is simple and keeps on trucking. Simply the best, no bs, list manager out there with easy import export and website access, making your lists available anywhere.
This app is so well designed for making checklists and outlines
Update: 2017: This is still an app I use every day and still appreciate it after all these years. I hope the developer will add a tip jar feature to encourage further improvements. Outliner remains the best and easiest to use checklist and outlining app available. The only improvement I can think of is to enable automatic sorting of outlines by date modified, so the ones I change show up at the top.
I have used it for a few years now and still find it indispensable whenever I need to make a checklist, especially a complex one with subtasks or one which needs to be used daily (I can easily just tap "Uncheck all" and start in again). The website synching makes it easy to create a new outline's items on a computer and then have it show up on my device..

Excellent!
This app is best outliner I found year ago and still there is no better one.
Sub-group sections are easy to create and their root has summarization functionality - based on how many sub-groups are finished.
Bravo to develper!

Loved Outlined on IPad so much
I enjoyed the intuitive simple nature of making lists with dependencies on my iPad that I bought it for my iPhone also. Now both are in sync everywhere I go.
Useful
On the whole, useful for my research.
But cannot move items freely (have to copy-cut-paste!). Cannot use different colours to highlight different sections. Import and export will lose all the title/subtitle format.

Doesn't work
The app shuts down and doesn't save anything. This app does not do what it says it would do. It's not fair that we have to pay for these apps before we have a chance to see that they don't work. There must be a way for us to get our money back. This app does not deserve one star. I worked on it all day and I can't get it to save anything. I set up several outlines and none of them saved. The app unexpectedly shuts down and when you turned it back on the outline is gone along with all the work it took to create it.
Do not waste your money on this app.

still the best
I've tried many other productivity apps, keep on coming back to the one. Simply the best, most flexible tool on my iPhone and iPad, and with a seamless sync that put other apps to shame.
A very flexible tool - highly recommended
Below is my review from a few versions ago. Still true. I will add that more recently I deleted an outline by accident and emailed the developer. They restored it to my account after 15 minutes. Amazing support for a small iPhone app.
Old review:
This is the kind of app that helps transform your iPhone from an enjoyable distraction into a credible productivity tool. Now that you can sync your outlines to Dropbox and edit them natively on your computer, there really is nothing competitive with this on the App Store.
With the new release Outliner has made the short migration from my iPhone home screen to my dock. It's one of the most useful and flexible apps around. Great value for the price and highly recommended.

Highly Recommended
This is an excellent application, well designed, intuitive and very stable. Great for planning and creating lists. CarbonFin have been very responsive to my feedback and feature requests and give the impression they are committed to improving what is already a very good product. Love the new zoom feature, really makes a difference if you have lots of outlines but want to focus!
