Ratings and Reviews
Big improvement
After spending (a lot) more time with v4 , I’m raising my rating. Both iOS versions are actually a big improvement over v3, with lots of useful layout options now. The changes are pretty drastic, so be prepared to put in some time. But it’s definitely worth persisting. I’m not as happy with v4 Mac yet - but hopefully that will get better.
So far so good
I've used OF3 for a few years, going between Todoist and OmniFocus. The update to version 4 compelled me to give it another try.
I find that OmniFocus works better with my way of working, where everything goes into the inbox quickly before being processed "in batch" (whenever I get ~5 minutes of free time). The updated way of tagging and the small UI updates are welcome.
The killer features for me are the "review" tab and the custom perspectives. Being able to customize the frequency of review and have a "work" and "non-work" mode is phenomenal.
From my way of working, OF4 provides only small updates vs. OF3, but the ability to pay once makes it very cost effective. The upgrade makes the review and inbox processing process much easier on the iPhone/iPad, so overall it's a win.
Buggy and missing Shortcuts Support
Long-time OmniFocus user here, since OF2 days.
Firstly, this release is very buggy. For example, when assigning items in the inbox to projects, tags, etc, it misreads the taps. So whenever I tap Project, it opens the Repeat editor.
Secondly it is missing a specific action in Shortcuts: “New Inbox Item”. In OF3 if you pressed this it would take you directly to a New Inbox item inspector sheet. But in OF4 you can only “Add Item” and leave the project blank if you want to add it to the Inbox. This seems like a pretty glaring omission for an app that is centered around quickly writing things down into the inbox GTD-style and then processing them later. What’s worse is that the lockscreen widget retains the OF3 functionality, so why can’t we have it again in Siri Shortcuts?
I am disappointed the OmniFocus community waited years for this.
