### 1/5 — 생산성앱이 가로모드가 없는게 말이되나요?

*2025-08-06, version 6.11*

유료사용중인데, 이런 기본기능도 안될줄 몰랐어요
아이패드 가로모드 지원해주세요

### 1/5 — 😡😡😡

*2025-05-19, version 6.10*

i buy the year plan but there is no corresponding function .I sent an email asking for help but no one responded

### 3/5 — Help!?

*2025-04-16*

I enjoy this app and the features it has. I paid for the subscription, and went to make a new list along with using the customization. Whenever I do it tells me to “upgrade” when I click on it- it says I’m already subscribed. I have restarted my phone- also deleted the app off my phone & redownloaded it. Nothing has worked so I’m pretty disappointed. I have already reached out to the customer service- have not heard anything back. Will update when/if things get resolved.

### 4/5 — Simplicity = Elegance

*2025-02-15, version 6.10*

Love this app. I use it daily. Color palettes and sharing feature are awesome. One thing I’d love to see is a thicker strike through line. It’s so thin it’s barely visible against the type. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Be careful

*2024-08-01, version 6.9.2*

I obtained a lifetime subscription to this app. Then I had to delete it. When I went back in after resetting the password they wanted me to purchase again. No way deleting it as I am not going to get the subscription more than once.

Update -07/14/24  App developers got with me and said they planned to fix problem. This was shortly after first revie. They promised to fix problem. They never did.

### 3/5 — A good outlining app, but needs landscape mode

*2024-07-28*

A great outlining app on the iphone. But the app feels next to useless on the iPad as there’s no landscape mode. 

The developers have stopped improving it. Which is a shame because I think it could be the best outlining app out there. It’s so easy to jot down bullets and ideas quickly.

### 4/5 — This APP is amazing. Only ONE issue.

*2024-07-01*

I absolutely LOVE this app. But an issue I’ve been having is that when you get into the “be thorough section”, the app doesn’t allow you to scroll freely through whatever you write in there.  It also doesn’t let you easily go back and edit what you've written. This is the ONLY issue with this app.  Otherwise, it’s FLAWLESS and everything I’ve been looking for to organize my business.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-05-04*

I just downloaded the app yesterday and it works quite well so far. The colours and layout of the app are beautiful and satisfying. However, I hope there could be other functions such as to write notes for tasks and more subtasks under existing subtasks.

### 3/5 — No widgets

*2024-01-11, version 6.9*

I’ll change this to 5 star if widgets feature are added

### 4/5 — thanks for great app but contact me ;)

*2023-12-04, version 6.9*

great app 
i’d just like to see more updates that include new features. maybe it would be easier to convince my coworkers (film industry) to use it as a planer for the movie pre production and on set tool to have everyone one on the same page (progress of work)

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.11 — 2025-06-26

Now with AI. Of course.  
We added Jumpstart, an AI-powered way to auto-generate your project outline from a single prompt. Because even your to-do list app has to have AI now. It’s actually kind of helpful. Sorry.  
Just tap “+”, choose Jumpstart, type what your project’s about, and boom — instant outline. You can still start from scratch, if you're feeling old-school.
