Of all of the many apps I've tried lately, it was the most visually perfect. What I can't wrap my brain around is forcing me to login with my Google account & the need to be online. Then the fees for the pro version? It goes against the long-standing spirit of the shareware traditions that made computer life so much fun. Anyone could jump into the market to put their knowledge into a piece of software. If it was a good app, money could be made even at a modest fee. Subscription model? Bah.

5 stars except keyboard stopped appearing, so can't make any new notes. Before that, app was basically as good as it gets! I love how it allows me to mind map my ideas. Only thing that could make it better is if you could make your lists 3D, with some items being bullet points to multiple other things. To do that right now, you have to copy/paste the item, and then it's not clear that they're duplicates. But I don't know how you'd pull that off, and I don't NEED it, and I rarely think about it.

This is the mobile peice of a peerless outline software. But there are problems with the mobile version. Its synchronization is unreliable which means that information frequently gets lost or is out of date. Also some important features are missing in the mobile version. Still incredibly useful despite my frustrations. It's still my dailey driver for most of my work.

Great app, it serves me well as a larger nested lists platform. But it could be more convenient in terms of navigation and organisation. When you search a particular entry it shows you the proper hierarchy, but when you click back it takes you all the way back to the top of the list instead of staying there. Also, it could use more organisation functions like automatic alphabetizations and drag and drop for entire sections instead of only having the slow moving arrows up and down arrows "↑↓"
