Deleted the App Today
It seems that Outline has gone the way of so many other apps—make users subscribe and pay for more and more features of their product, otherwise you are stuck with a subpar product and an awful experience. I honestly tried to use the app today because I am searching for a note-taking product to use. I spent an hour entering notes, only to discover that to use a feature I wanted and needed, I had to pay for a subscription. I don’t need a subscription for the features I want. I don’t want AI, I just want a full-features note-taking app as is, not a product that behind paywalls their most needed features. Sorry, the app is deleted and I have moved on.

Perfect
Outline provides the perfect space to organise and experiment with various projects and musings that are still some way from completion. I have found it very useful for my otherwise wayward academic work (PhD). Highly recommend for students of all stripes and at all stages of learning
Outline Replace OneNote
I really liked OneNote. Two catastrophic fails for me are the difficulty of exporting and moving Notebooks and being chained to Onedrive. I have a lot of Notebooks and was going to have to buy more space. So, I switched to Outline. It has worked very well but is ‘buggy’. Just today I’ve had to close the app twice to clear a problem. The first problem was just reorganizing pages. The second problem was it just locked up and I could no longer navigate.
Though I lack some confidence in Outline because of this bugginess, I am still going to use it and hope the developers improve it.

Great app, but ONE BIG CAVEAT!
This app does almost everything I need. I can’t believe that as old as this app is, it does NOT support different fonts, and even when you copy/paste, it doesn’t always keep the same font/style you pasted. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! I don’t care what the developer says. There is a review on here that is SEVEN years old that addresses this, and the devs STILL haven’t seen fit to add font and style support. Shame on them! 2026.04.06 update: I have been trying for over an hour to sync data from iPhone to desktop. I THINK I am about to get it done, but no way it should be this complicated! Take that star-rating down to 1/2 star!

Good
I am switching from Onenote to Outline as I prefer the iOS system to windows. This was a good switch, there are older reviews that are pretty negative but I am enjoying the app. I would find it would be better if it was a little more kept up and updated. I do see that every few weeks to month theres a new update. I do have issues with the app freezing in the middle of my work. It also has issues synching. I would like some improvements to the features. Overall it’s a great app. I am going to keep testing it for the next month and subscribe if I decide to stick to it.
