### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-25, version 2.8.2*

This is the best, no Cost Outliner. I know I’ve been using it for years. It was one of the first and is still one of the best.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2026-07-18, version 2.8.2*

App is intuitive, easy to use, and best of all, the new "swipe" keyboard, which I love, works in this app on my iPad Pro like it works on all the other iPads. If only my other apps worked this way!

### 4/5 — 生活のツール

*2026-07-17*

生活の全てに活かせるツールです。画像が取り込めないのが残念。

### 1/5 — Four years of notes vanished

*2026-07-01, version 2.8.2*

I have paid pro account and when I refreshed a loading note, everything disappeared

### 5/5 — So far: perfect

*2026-06-25, version 2.8.2*

Will have to update this six months in, bu so far it is exactly what I was looking for. The ability to easily make sub projects and organize the tasks that way is sublime.

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2026-06-22*

Je regrette que l’export ne soit pas possible d’ une liste des fichiers d’un dossier

### 4/5 — On the whole, a major improvement!

*2026-06-21, version 2.8.2*

The new version is a great step forward. I just wish it it converted to Word because the opml is not practical for me. You got a winner!

### 3/5 — We’ll see

*2026-06-05, version 2.8.2*

App’s handy on the iPhone, we’ll see about on the iPad
,

### 2/5 — Cloud Nine

*2026-05-20*

App doesn’t respond quickly when pressing - seems to have a lag effect

### 5/5 — オフラインのアウトラインとしてGood

*2026-05-17*

Evernoteとの同期できる機能が秀逸！
