Outliner for iPad

Great app, nothing bad really. Implement background sync, or if not background then at least automatic sync... I give 5 star anyway, but if sync is automated, I'll also force everyone i know to buy it! ;)

Fungerar riktigt bra, är enkel och man kan synka mot iPhonen (om man köper appen dit). Går att dela projekt med andra. Kanonbra verktyg, något jag har på mina möten samt för mina todo's - iom att jag har den på iPhonen med så har jag alltid med mig mina noteringar och saker att göra. VÄRT PENGARNA!

Jag har testat många outliners, både på PC och iPad. Denna är i absoluta toppskiktet!

I have used this app for many years. I love it! I use it for packing lists, grocery lists, errands, brainstorming notes. I can export a list to my mind mapping app easily. It has easily moved to various new iPads over the years, with all data intact. Thank you so much for this app.

NEW CAVEAT: There is a setting to make font smaller, but not one to make it larger or even largest. Nowadays my vision won't let me work without a bigger font. Developers need to give more thought to accessibility. -- ORIGINAL REVIEW (5 STARS): OmniOutliner is prettier and offers columns, this outliner lets me get real work done fast. It's easy to make and rearrange an outline, and it works with both email and the developer's free online syncing service. Easy to get data in and out with OPML. I actually use OmniOutliner, too, but for specific purposes involving highly formatted documents I create on my Mac. For serious thinking and outlining on the go, whether on my iPad or iPod, this is what I prefer to use, because it gets out of my way and lets me work. Also let's me organize my outlines with tags, which I can treat like folders. Wishes? Dropbox support would be nice. UPDATE: The addition of Dropbox support has been very helpful. Unfortunately, one must opt for Dropbox support on a file-by-file basis, and the syncing is not automatic. Still, it's pretty easy.

My favorite feature is that it keeps copies in synch, so the shared checklists are always up to date on whatever devices they live on. A nice to have feature would be to mark a task as in progress but not yet complete. The workaround is just to leave the task open and use notes for progress. One can also micromanage by splitting the task down into two or more sub tasks. Another nice to have would be counts of how many tasks are in the outline, just informationally.

This is the longest running app I’ve had. It’s so simple and it’s become a part of the way I think. I have other outliner apps and they simply get in the way. Yes they have lots of other bells and whistles but nothing comes close to the simplicity and straightforward way this app works. Completely recommend this to anyone, and the web interface is icing on the cake. Great stuff.

Been using and relying on this app for years. The web based Outliner Online is super helpful and a nice bonus.

Carbonfin outliner is head and shoulders the best outliner is the world. It is extremely flexible, a new list or adding an entry to an-9#ting liebteyto a couple of intuitive clicks. The layout on the iPad is especially handy. The powerful season function will jet you manage even long,complex lists easily. This is really a gem!!

I have only had outliner for a few days but am already impressed. I have the app on my iPad, iPhone and am also using the free carbonfin.com web interface. So this means I can be on both desktop and devices updating my outlines. And I can easily sync my outlines. As a backup I can save my outline to Dropbox — the Dropbox feature is built into the app — a folder is automatically set up in Dropbox for this purpose. And I can also save an outline in plain text if I want to. Importantly, the outline elements are dragable on my devices and can be moved up and down on the web interface . And all of this is very simple to do. Very intuitive. Easy to learn. The developers clearly know what they are doing and must be fans of outline programs — because they have created a superb app. ....Rowby.
