This is a really great and useful product
This is one of the most useful productivity tools I use. I can easily construct lists on the desktop application (free) and sync it with my iPad and iPhone, I use it for work checklists, packing lists for work and home, shopping lists, trip lists, basically anything where I might want to use the list again later. The advantage over pen and paper is that I can keep on refining the lists without having to rewrite them and clear all the check boxes with a click. I've used other list makers but the process of creating and reordering items was more complicated then it should be. My only complaint is the text looks a little ugly but this is indispensable application for me for work and home and one of my favourite apps

Literally keeping me from loosing my marbles!
With a mind like a rock tumbler this app is letting me put my marbles somewhere safe (and quiet) and let's me play with them later. Simple yet flexible with many features to explore.
Great outliner for both iPhone and web
A great outliner! I'm using it to outline and refine technology and writing projects, and it's really helping me drill down into each project! It's great. 5 star app without a doubt, and the web-based outliner to which the iPhone app synchronizes is great as well. I use the iPhone app daily, and the web-based one is always open in my browser.
I will say, though, that not being able to try it out for free before purchasing prevented me from picking this up a few months ago. The price is high as far as iPhone applications are concerned, and although it's worth every penny, is probably a barrier to many people. I think if there was a version that was free, or 99 cents, that maybe had a few limitations (perhaps no sync to the web, or limitations on the number of nodes you could create) would go a long way towards people adopting this as their outliner of choice. People want to try things before they buy!
Also, a demo or video of the web-based outliner would be great as well, perhaps demoing basic usage, some imports/exports, etc. Just to show people that they're buying a great iPhone app with a great web-based option as well.
In summary: Great app!

Awesome!
Awesome! Just what I ever wanted in GTD app.
Very good outliner
Very good outliner, simple to use but quite powerful. I'd like a few improvements, though, personally;
• A more iPhone-like icon - it looks out of place and none-too-attractive currently
• Ability to set defaults for new outlines (text size etc)
• Ability to select an item and make a new outline out of it (that is, 'move/copy to a new outline')
• Ability to colour-code outlines!
But as I said, brilliant app currently, looking forward to future improvements.

Fantastic
I don't need to repeat what's already been stated. This is one of the best outliner/list apps in the store. The free online account that allows cloud syncing and list editing from any browser are winning features! Overshadows SplashNotes, which requires you to fork out another 9.95 for desktop software!

Best outliner
Can I echo the points made by Geordie1974 below, but add that the online app takes this to an even higher level:
No desktop needed - not tied to any particular computer because you can do all functions in a web browser. Good for copying and pasting large amount of data or I used it to import large outlines from Bonsai & Shadowplan (from Palm).
The syncing is impeccable - fast and very reliable. Never had any data loss.
Developers have been quick to respond to customers, for example, reverting to the old icon and reinstating one-line previews.
Excellent stuff.

Just what I needed!
First, let me say that I love this app. I often have multifaceted and complex tasks to accomplish for my clients, often requiring not only the outlining of the steps of those tasks but also of the things I need to learn, review or brainstorm to accomplish those tasks. I find myself relying more and more on my iPhone rather than lugging around my laptop. The ability to do nested outlines, and print them and/or get them into another program (e.g., I use NoteTaker on my Macs, which can read/write OPML generated by Outline) was an important need for my iPhone and Outliner has filled that need. Sure there are a few tweaks to the interface that might improve input efficiency somewhat, but the app is very stable as is and I would not want to harm that stability. This incarnation of the app has made it the most used application for my business needs on my iPhone.

Very useful and well thought out
Smart design! The web syncing feature is one-touch simple and very reassuring.
Sync is very good, pretty tight actually; Input could be faster
I'm a student and outlining is how i take notes. I use OmniOutliner outline software which came with my MacBook, and I must say that the sync with Outliner is the real deal. I didn't even know OmniOutliner could have notes on each bullet point, and I've been using it for 3 years!
My only concern is the speed at which I can make notes, I'm not a fan of waiting 0.5 seconds to open a new screen in the program to start writing text, I'd suggest a quick entry method, that allows users to input text right on the outline without having to open a new window/prompt.
PS I also tried ZeptoLiner, but it cannot export OPML, which means your heirarchy that you spent 10 minutes perfecting will not be exported in the outlining software, at least not in OmniOutliner.
and FYI CarbonFin is referring to Carbon Fins as in the fins on a surfboard, so my guess is that these bomb developers surf as well, can't go wrong with CEOs that surf, forreal. THANKS AGAIN!
