Won’t login via WorkFlowy

Iphone & Ipad: App repeatedly opens a Safari Captcha page (with no images or functionality) every time I try to log in with existing (or even new) email address. Appears to be permanently broken. Is this app defunct?

Sehr hilfreich zum direkten Arbeiten wie auch zum Exportieren

Die App erlaubt das formatierte Exportieren (Markdown) und mit eine sehr hilfreichen Ergänzung der Tastatur die Bearbeitung, wie beispielsweise das verschieben von Absätzen. Sie lässt sich hervorragend anpassen – auch ästhetisch: das starke Gelb kann vollständig verändert werden, auch die Größe der Buttons.
Auf diese Weise braucht man auch so schnell nicht das teure Abo von Work-Flowy.

Most Powerful Workflowy App Right Now

Update October 2019: It's even better than before and a LOT clearer how to use the shortcuts. Please keep going: this + Workflowy is a very powerful combination!

-------

This app is a Workflowy client. It's definitely NOT made by the creators of Workflowy, which is why it provides so many options and it ain't pretty (but that's configurable too). However, it works, it's powerful, and it supports an external keyboard very nicely (including EMACs keystrokes! Sweet) and a read-only mode so you can look over your WF without altering stuff.

Right now this is the ONLY good Workflowy client out there and it's very useful, especially on iPad with a bluetooth keyboard. It's pretty useful on iPhone too.

Hoping WF will release their own client someday, but until then, this one (including the in-app purchase) is quite awesome. Thanks for making this.

Workflowy impact on HandyFlowy?

I love and use HandyFlowy as an interface to Workflowy on iOS because of the added functionality of the editing toolbar, which the main Workflowy app omits.

However it seems a recent modification to Workflowy has impacted on this and stops it showing. I wanted to check the developer is even aware of this and if there are plans to address this?

good attempt, but misses the point

user experience is pretty clunky, and the following is no more than my humble opinion, but this goes against the whole point of workflowy- that it's a super straightforward outlining app, and very effect because of that simplicity (rather than despite it)

Worst App Ever - Pathetic

This app does not “select all” the same way the rest of the world does. “Select All” in this app means selecting an entire LINE or bullet point of text only. I’ve lost many hours of work - it will take me days to retype everything.

In other words: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO EXPORT OR COPY AN ENTIRE DOCUMENT AT ONCE. I’ve wasted hours trying every different option. The program talks about linking to Evernote- but that is not any kind of simple option.

Just an awful program. It reminds of of bad, defective ransomware in the way it won’t let go of my data - but also doesn’t give me any option to retrieve my work.

If I’m somehow wrong here. Please just send me my data and I’ll gladly retract, or pay or whatever. I’m so very sorry I downloaded this piece of yuck.

Spectacular.

This guy can code!

Excellent outliner & brain extension

I can't imagine using WorkFlowy without HandyFlowy which makes WorkFlowy an absolute pleasure to use on my iPhone. The latest version even supports the iPhone X. I highly recommend it, and the in-app upgrade is well worth the price.

Worth the purchase for a heavy Workflowy user

If you’re using an iPad Pro with a Smart (or other Keyboard) - spend the few dollars. You get keyboard shortcuts, delete bullets, duplicate lists, export text, ability to change font size and other customization options. It’s a bit ugly, and not quite as powerful as using Workflowy on a personal computer, but Workflowy’s own app (as of Feb 2018) offers none of those features, which makes it totally unappealing for iPad + keyboard use.

I use it, but bugs and minimal documentation hurt.

For instance, search feature stopped working: there's a long pause with a spinner, but then it shows whole outline with nothing selected. Needs support-- I can't find any way other than here to attempt to contact creator.

Good but needs work. Better than web

This is nice but it REALLY needs support fo an ipad with Smart Cover keyboard. When you select a place to type everything shifts up for the virtual keyboard, but there is no VK with the Smart Keyboard!

LE client mobile pour WorkFlowy.

Update: Edition problématique/impossible depuis la màj du 12/06/2017: bug de la sélection tactile. A corriger d'urgence. Heureusement que l'app Workflowy existe quand même…

Jusque là: tout ce qui manquait à l'app WorkFlowy, inaboutie sur iOS.

Ads or limited functionality but not both

App is solid, ugly but solid. Problem is either have extra features for an IAP or have ads you can remove with an IAP. It's hard to determine if the extra features are worth the price while that intrusive terrible banner ad is there.

Its s good app

Although its a good app, Memoflowy from the same developer is really similar to this and I simply dont understand why features of both app cant be combined in one app. The developer charges 5.99 for each app. I checked the developers other apps and it seems like he likes to make 2 VERY similar app and sells them seperately. Go check it out. Its weird

Very non intuitive

Was painful to try to use. Prefer the safari desktop site when I need to use extended functionally. Just click on the send page icon and request desktop site.

Makes workflowy usable on iOS

I actually uninstalled the workflowy app and was looking for another todo list to store ideas on the go to later update on the desktop/web version of the app because the iOS app was awful and often didn't show me the latest items.
Handyflowy has made it possible to just stick to one tool as I can now use workflowy on ios properly!
Great app!

Bluetooth Cursor Navigation Missing

One of the enticing features of this alternative WorkFlowy platform is the supposed support for bluetooth keyboard cursor navigation. Unfortunately, I am still unable to use my up and down arrows to navigate in between bullets. If this feature is added, the review is immediately edited to 5 stars and I purchase the Pro version out of appreciation!

Way better than the Workflowy version

This is a client for Workflowy. This client is better than the original Workflowy client in terms of its interface and usability. Good job.

Very useful

Adds very useful functionality if you're a WorkFlowy useful, including a customisable keyboard row which you can include navigation options, mark this complete, create notes and so on. Also includes bookmarking. None of this is especially pretty or well explained but the functionality is excellent.

Please keep going

This app is a bit buggy, but has great potential to make Workflowy great on the iPad. Please fix the bugs (lag, sometimes getting stuck)and make the settings more simple and user friendly (bit convoluted right now). This can be a great app!
