OmniFocus 4

The Watch app is frustrating to use, it doesn’t sync properly. Other than that, OmniFocus is 👌🏼

This new version is a significant downgrade from 3. Until today, perspectives didn’t work on the Watch (showed things not in perspective), everything was bitter on the watch meaning by its less navigable on the go. They “fixed” that by unceremoniously removing watch complications in 4.2. Still doesn’t allow pinning custom perspectives on the watch, so every time I’m doing groceries, I have to first open the phone app before I can get the right perspective on the watch, and then what is even the point.

Unfortunately this version isn’t ready yet, it's littered with bugs hindering normal everyday usages. I’ll go back using the previous version and give this one another try after the next release. I would encourage other users to also express their concerns here and give an honest rating of the current state it's in. I’m looking forward to the moment I can change this to a 5 star review.

Crash / freeze with 3rd party keyboards, such as typewise. No response / solution from omnifocus for month

Frustrated with the OF4 version. Some things seem smarter, but other things have become less good or counter intuitive. Feels like a beta version. Was so happy with OF3… trying to return to that version now. For others: they have a 30 day money back guarantee. And their support system has been super kind and trying to be helpful.

WebDAV werkt helaas niet goed in de nieuwe versie. De oude versie werkt met dezelfde instellingen probleemloos. Ook andere apps werken prima via WebDAV. Ik heb het aangekaart bij de helpdesk maar daar konden ze mij helaas niet helpen. Jammer, ik heb er een beetje spijt van dat ik de pro licentie voor versie 4 heb gekocht.

Please go back to the older interface. I have used Omnifocus for many many years and just upgraded to Omnifocus 4. On a simple task with attached photos for an errand to a store became a nightmare to keep the task open and see the attachments. What used to be seamless and easy to track. This is now complicated as the task continues to close automatically when I'm looking at attachments. I couldn't have been more frustrated with the user experience on such a simple task. Please go back one version for your user interface as Omnifocus 4 Pro is way more difficult to use and clunky as a user. I can't imagine someone thought this was a better interface.

I keep coming back to Omnifocus. Apple reminders is great, but Omnifocus is still better for serious task management. I love the keyboard shortcut on Mac, love the Inbox concept. Just works great. Also, I almost switched to Notion but there is a big problem with Notion. Notion is great on desktop and web, but is absolutely terrible on mobile. OmniFocus works great on all platforms.

I’ve depended on OmniFocus since the first day it came out and was an early alpha and beta user on the desktop. I can’t imagine a life without this app. As an avid GTD user, this software is perfectly suited to bring me peace and achieve a mind that is “still like water”. I get the space and focus necessary for me to do my creative work and sleep well at night because of this wonderful app.
