What I struggle with on the app version is that the arrow to flip through photos doesn’t work and zooming in to pictures is really difficult. It would be great if you could work on this. Also, I know you probably have been working on this or trying to since you’re always coming out with new functionality, but notifications would be life changing. I could literally keep everything on Workflowy without having to schedule reminders on Google Calendar or whatever else. ### 4/5 — Calendar *2026-07-27, version 4.3.2607221521* The calendar has no parameters: week and quarter ### 2/5 — Just bullet points? *2026-06-30, version 4.3.2606251429* Maybe I’m missing something, but when I make a new node and hit the plus, it creates a bullet point. Nothing I do changes that fact. If the app only allows for bulleted lists and has a calendar that I’m not even sure what the purpose is for within the app, it’s probably not deep enough to be useful to you. Again, I’m probably using it wrong, but UI and UX are a thing. ### 5/5 — Thought storage *2026-03-22, version 4.3.2603121258* If you like to strategically layer thoughts together it is great. I highly recommend using a GTD starting format which you adapt to your own taste and style. I’ve loaded all sorts of nested boards, business models for tracking thoughts and more. I use it to share notes from meetings, create linked action plans, store up photos… There is a charge for the pro, but I consider the ability to store all my thoughts a force multiplier equivalent to using AI! ### 5/5 — Better and better *2026-03-20, version 4.3.2603121258* Started using Workflowy to track ideas and lists a long time ago. It keeps getting better. Now I use it for planning, writing and productivity. After years it’s still the most used app on both phone and computer. ### 5/5 — Amazing progress in 2026 - new features *2026-03-13, version 4.3.2603121258* Workflowy is seriously getting stuff done lately. I am impressed with the features pumping out regularly. A reason I stopped using it was that it didn’t have daily notes or a great task management feature set but that is changing! Kudos to the team! The just added email integration and I’m over the moon. ### 5/5 — Changed my Life - Overstatement? *2026-03-10, version 4.3.2603031841* A few times every hour of my waking hours, I use the app to keep track of my priorities and various projects. After work, it’s a shopping list, Netflix queue, and chronicle of funny things my kids say. I’ve been using this minimal tool for almost a decade now. ### 5/5 — Simply *2026-03-06, version 4.3.2603031841* Smart! ### 3/5 — 非常に便利だがIPADのキーボード操作だけ一点改善 *2026-03-01, version 4.3.2602240101* IPADでキーボード操作の際にキーポインタがきえてわざわざ、タッチパネルの操作が必要な時がある。キーボード階層の移動の際に起こる。キーボード操作のみでキーポインタが画面に復活すると私の評価は上がる。 ### 5/5 — I use EVERYDAY for more than 6 years now *2026-02-25, version 4.3.2602190938* Wiz ### 5/5 — The Only App that Stuck *2026-02-21, version 4.3.2602190938* I have been using Workflowy since 2022, and it has changed the way I live. I organize my life with it and have never needed another planner/notes app. The web version is better but the app works great as well! ### 5/5 — A Wonderful App *2026-02-14, version 4.3.2602121021* This app is amazing, a new user, but is so much easier to use than any regular note app. The controls are very easy to use, and makes making to dos fun. It makes me excited to plan out my day, and is amazing for all ages. Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — 最高 *2026-02-08, version 4.3.2601291424* アウトライナーはシンプルで何でも、どんな分野にでも応用がきいて使いやすい。絶対なくならないで欲しい ### 5/5 — My second brain. *2026-02-07, version 4.3.2601291424* Pure and simple. ### 5/5 — 希望能在App store直接付費 *2026-02-04, version 4.3.2601291424* 希望能在App store直接付費訂閱版，不用去網頁填信用卡資料 ### 5/5 — Outline & connect concepts *2026-02-02, version 4.3.2601291424* Let’s you create and link (or hyperlink) information in infinite ways that exactly match how you do it in your brain. ### 4/5 — La meilleur application de prise de note et gestion tâches / projets *2026-02-02, version 4.3.2601291424* Application super puissante, simple de premier abord mais bourré de features, et qui est vraiment pensé no-nonsense. Du coup on ne perd pas son temps à administrer l’application en elle même comme on peu avoir sur notion, ou obidian qui deviennent vite de gros consommateurs de temps. Seul bémols, l’application IPad est juste simplement nul. Impossible de passer du mode édition texte, à déplacement des bullets sans fermer et réouvrir l’application. Please dear Workflowy team, fix the iPad app. It is in the current state not properly useable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was better, now not good *2026-03-27, version 4.3.2603231806* App still broken. Зачем вообще решили обнлять добавлять кучу функций и менять привычный годам ux? Качал как легкий блокнот, но последние два года обновления превратили в нерабочий неудобный продукт. Очень жаль... лучше бы делали новую апу. ### 1/5 — Unable to click into bullets with latest version on mobile iOS *2026-02-28, version 4.3.2602240101* Been using Workflowy for 10 years. The latest update broke the most basic feature. ### 1/5 — Bloated, awkward, clumsy *2026-02-13, version 4.3.2602101001* Used to be five stars, now just one maybe two stars sad to say. No longer has the ability to color code text, bold text, etc, effectively and efficiently. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Previously good *2026-01-20, version 4.3.2601150914* I used to like this app but unfortunately all I get is the loading screen and it keeps trying to load. So I give up using it ### 1/5 — Was better, now not good *2025-11-20, version 4.3.2511181301* Раньше было лучше, сейчас на телефоне пользоваться невозможно, куча ненужных опций стало, переносы стали ужасно багованным лагом) жаль. Очень много лет пользовал ### 1/5 — Exactly as described.... by other reviewers. *2025-10-19, version 4.3.2510161206* As with most users of an iPad, I obtained this app in order to allow me to take notes etc in a world where internet is somewhat patchy. This app proves exactly why apps that require online (website) log-ins are completely useless to anybody who is not in range 100% of the time. Point in case, I made notes regarding a simple matter for a client - looked great, figured it take it with to get their views. No internet made me look like the clown I am for trusting in this app. Thanks guys, but no thanks. Id rather pay an honest provider $40 for something that actually works when I need it to. ### 1/5 — AI all over it *2025-08-23, version 4.3.2508200617* Used to love Workflowy until they just enabled AI one day. No announcement, no REQUEST FOR PERMISSION, they just did it. Totally inconsiderate of its client base!! Switched to Dynalist and Purelist, both are much smaller and I feel way better knowing my data isn't going into the AI machine. ### 1/5 — Usage data access means they take all what you type. *2025-08-13, version 4.3.2508061542* Any app with unknown developers writing usage data and cross app access are scammers and can sell take away what all you type. Stay away from such scamming apps. May be some developers are good and genuine but 90% will steal your info and what you type. Not safe to use. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-07-29, version 4.3.2507241400* It will not allow me to sign up as it does not accept the "click all the images containing a bus". I've done this about 8 times and I can't get on. I assure you, I do not normally have trouble with these checkpoints. ### 1/5 — Gave up after too many captcha *2025-06-28, version 4.1.2506251432* Must have probably been asked to check images 6-8 times between before and after signup. Maybe tone it down. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Workflowy is awesome *2026-08-20, version 4.3.2608181120* I run my life through Workflowy it’s amazing ### 5/5 — Infinite Joy *2026-08-05, version 4.3.2608041311* I could write a poem about how delightful it is using infinite indents with infinite searchability. I’m looking forward to learning more about this app. 10/10 recommend! ### 5/5 — Amazing organization tool *2026-07-20, version 4.3.2607151451* I recommend this to everyone I know! The one tool I’ve used daily for years. ### 5/5 — Unique and Well Designed *2026-07-15, version 4.3.2607080959* Workflowy just clicks with my brain. It just makes sense, I don't know how else to explain it. Runs smoothly, looks nice, customizable. 5/5, no notes. ### 5/5 — Simply Brilliant *2026-05-13, version 4.3.2605071037* Utilise a simple, well considered structure and Workflowy can run your life. The simpler the better! ### 5/5 — very useful *2026-05-06, version 4.3.2604301122* i like this app ### 5/5 — Best free notes app *2026-04-26, version 4.3.2604231210* I’ve been using Workflowy for over a decade for my to-do lists, goals lists, shopping lists, and all of my list needs. I love how easy it is to use, how it syncs across various devices, and how the free version is ad-free. It keeps me organized! ### 5/5 — Amazing, Simple, Clean *2026-04-20, version 4.3.2604161354* I love it because it is so Simple and organized. It’s the only thing I use for all my task management ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-04-12, version 4.3.2604061734* I’ve used many outliners over the years, but Workflowy is simply brilliant in how well it works across both mobile and desktop. Highly recommended for organising your life, breaking down a project, keeping notes, or anything really - it is very well thought out and very flexible. ### 5/5 — Best note app ever *2026-04-05, version 4.3.2603311056* I’ve been using this platform to organize my notes and thoughts for over a decade at this point. It’s so clean and easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
