Cloud Outliner - Nested Lists 4+

Good outliner

A good outliner that allows for hierarchy folders and files that can be expanded or retracted - There are very few apps that will do this. Also the Sync is flawless all the time and I have only had one time in 3-4 months that I moved around a lot of folders and had a crash that lost the changes; but beyond that it has been very reliable. There are other good apps outliner like Notebooks where you can also have many levels of nested file structure but where the sync is not instant and completely unreliable so what good are they. This app is stable and can be counted on and accessed from any device.
It is missing a couple key ingredients (there is no perfect app available) such as the ability to print. I copy and paste into notability and print fro there and it retains the structure but not the formatting. It also does not have the ability to attach files so it cant be used for information storage and retrieval. I use Notability for that too but it does not have a file hierarchy beyond a folder with underlings and no further hierarchy(much like Evernotes same major restriction) It would also be great to be able to use it more for tasks if it had tagging (context) and alerts.
For a reliable Outliner with and expandable and retractable file structure and unlimited hierarchy levels structure, it may be the best option available today

Good tool with major limits

I am a huge outliner fan and this is one of the better ones. One of the major confusions was that I still have the older version on my ipad and phone. The newer version should have taken the place of the old one. Also, the syncing between devices is not flawless. Sometimes it works and sometimes, it just doesn't. I also think that with some minor enhancements are necessary to make the app more flexible. These are some suggestions for features that would make this a 5 star app. -Ability to move outlines into files or out of files. It would be very helpful to have a strike through feature when items are checked off as done in that mode. It may sound minor to some, but it is visually very helpful in getting things done. I hope that these suggestions encourage updating to make this evolve from a good app to an indispensable great one.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your suggestion.

Excellent outliner system (Mac and iOS) for great price

There are some outliners out there which charge an excessive amount of money. Sure, they have some nice additional features, but it’s annoying to see many developers keep milking the cash cow with new paid versions, and even the much hated subscription model. This Cloud Outliner system has both iOS and Mac versions, and if you buy both of them, it’s only a fraction of what others might charge. The iCloud sync is flawless. You can even see it sync in front you. Just don’t immediately edit any outline that you open, to give it a chance to sync changes from your other devices. The ONLY thing I would want from this app is to customize the keyboard shortcuts. I’m very used to the shortcuts from the THINGS time management app, and so it’s a bit tricky to switch to this app’s keystrokes to move items up and down, etc. I hope more people buy and support this developer so this outliner can keep getting better, and giving great value for your money.
