This app is so well designed for making checklists and outlines

Update: 2017: This is still an app I use every day and still appreciate it after all these years. I hope the developer will add a tip jar feature to encourage further improvements. Outliner remains the best and easiest to use checklist and outlining app available. The only improvement I can think of is to enable automatic sorting of outlines by date modified, so the ones I change show up at the top.

I have used it for a few years now and still find it indispensable whenever I need to make a checklist, especially a complex one with subtasks or one which needs to be used daily (I can easily just tap "Uncheck all" and start in again). The website synching makes it easy to create a new outline's items on a computer and then have it show up on my device..

Best outline app available

I have used this app for a number of years and it is the best, easiest to use app available for creating outlines. I use it daily for tracking home tasks, grocery lists and general to-do lists, as well as using it at work to track my project work. It makes it easy to create and use small lists, but it is particular fast and effective for large lists, eg some of my lists have 2500+ items with up to 5 levels of sublists. The app has gradually improved over the years by adding a variety user-requested features. It has been well-maintained, and upgrades and bugs fixes are provided quickly unlike many iOS apps. I can fully recommend this app to anyone who wants to creates lists and outlines of any size on Apple devices.

Super Multi Use App

I have used this app, and relied on it, for many years. I just count on it so much, it’s a part of life for me. It keeps my lists, checklists for when I have to travel, outlines for classes I teach, etc. Super features for me: Easy movement of whole outline blocks, simple to do and without the complicating logistics of other programs The ability to access outlines from ipad, iphone and the web. Easy export Just puts from my knothole. Thanks a ton for keeping this going.

I wrote this review several years ago and my opinion hasn’t changed a bit!!
