You can do the same from your web browser. iOS app is not Native app, which means that it’s just an icon on your springboard that completely relies on network access in order to work. Cotton for example (which is only mobile for the time being, costs 4$, and offers more). For 40–60$ there is so much more that you can get out there. You will quickly find yourself paying 5$ for a second grade product. (Those who are into outlining and mind mapping know exactly what I mean.) 250-500 items limit is also a killer for an app of this type. ![]() And some of these are a complete deal breaker for the outlining app, like the lack of OPML import / export. It needs to do just one thing right and better than other already existing apps out there. This might seem like a big wish list, but the app doesn’t have to have all of these in order to be great. (this is announced as premium only feature, still not there yet) Offline access – so we don’t have to rely on internet in order for our system to work.Reminders – so we can setup alarms without finding the native app.Clipping and Multimedia integration – Ability for me to easily add content without asking me what it is ( Cotton Feature).Cross-app / social sharing – So I can export my work into other applications where I can continue what I’ve started without friction or letting me share with my email contacts or Twitter followers.More powerful import / export feature – OPML for outlines is an absolute must, especially if you want to use it with your mind mapping software.Powerful search – so I don’t have to waste time looking for the things that I need.Integration with iCal / Google Calendar – for those who rely on Google SMS texts as reminders.Here is the list of things that would greatly improve outlining application:w If you think of competing in this highly competitive market of Productivity applications, you need to re-innovate and defeat applications like Evernote, Omnifocus and Omni Outliner, or offer something that doesn’t already exist. I had to make a review about it, in order to give developer feedback. Previously I’ve stated that Workflowy didn’t have mobile apps, while that changed (for iOS. Ubiquity is even better once you save OPML files in the same Dropbox folder where you save your mind maps, so you can access them in 2 different views. This means that for the full year, you would pay 60$ or 40$ if you pre-paid the whole year.įor 40$ you could get OmniOutliner on your OSX, which is recognized the best outlining tool, with support for OPML. Considering that you get the basic features that should be included in the freemium model, I find this insanely expensive. Now this wouldn’t be the problem, if the price was reasonable, but monthly fee is 5$ a month. When I am brainstorming I can add 250 items in one session, let alone one month. Considering that this is the outliner, I tend to go crazy with adding items. Since the product got out of the beta phase, you are limited to 250 items per month. ![]() ![]() It has minimalistic design and layout, but features are timid and limited. This app was fairly long on the market since the time I initially did this review, and the recent comment about import/export functionallity made me do a refresh of this article. Great marketing tactic, reach out to people through influencers, but not so great when it abuses the trust of the people. She was thrilled about the software, and “who is using it”. She said you should write about this, therefore I am. I just finished completing some non writing tasks on my computer and decided to take on the chellenge. Update number 2: Wanna see what apps does Alpha Efficiency crew uses? Check our post: Digital Anatomy of The Alpha Efficient.īrankica from Blog Like A Star, recommended me to check out the new productivity web app. Alpha Efficiency endorses quality reliable (offline) tools for task management such as OmniFocus and Evernote. Read a review from someone who actually uses Outliners (and that wouldn’t be me). While I still don’t endorse it as a good outliner, considering it’s free, it’s not as bad as I showcased it in this review. Update: These were my opinions about Workflowy prior to some of it’s updates.
