Outline: Notes for OneNote 4+

Great App only missing 2 things for me to make it Awesome

This app is great, it really is. It will replace your OneNote app and give you back the power to save your notes where ever you want, webdav, icloud, dropbox, etc. Really great to have this instead of syncing everything to the cloud I can save the notes locally if I wish or to the network server at the office. The only two things I have an issue with is that you cannot set a custom font and size when you start a note, i have to manually change the font size, bold everytime, you also cant pick the type of font you want to use. Come on that should have been an option from the begining. The other one is that I cannot mark a note as a favorite so it shows up like in most used section or favorites section.

Other than the things I mentioned this app is really good and if you dont want to use the cloud and want more control of your data but like OneNote this is the app for you. Check it out, on their website they give you a free 14 day trial at least you can try it and decide if you want it. I tried for a few days and bought it.

Great App For Genealogy Research

I have used this app on and off over many years, typically going back to OneNote however. The one thing that I have never liked about these types of apps is printing them to a PDF or to printer. There are no “margins” to know if what you have put onto the screen page will flow over a “right margin”.
I loaded up Outline again to see what improvements have been made and discovered that pretty much what you see on the screen page is what prints to paper or PDF as one page without having right margin overflow issues. That is a huge deal for me when keeping genealogy research logs. OneNote still does not do this, so I have multiple extra print pages where the information flowed too far off the right invisible screen margin.
The other issue that I like about Outline is that my files are local and sync’d on iCloud, rather that just dealing with a shortcut to OneDrive that OneNote uses.
Other than these two things, this app does much of what OneNote does like linking to other pages and such.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback!

Great Notebook Style with Huge Limitations

Of all the notebook-taking apps I've seen, this one has the best layout and is pretty solid; however, if you're looking for styling options you'll need to look elsewhere. Font options are non-existent, you can't style ordered lists, there isn't a dark theme for the pages themselves, and in general the editor is bare bones. I've checked online for options and I keep seeing the developer promising new features that never seem to come.

Given the other merits of the software I'm willing to stick with it, but the developers really need to get the ball rolling. This has the potential of being the best on the market and, with a little more effort, could easily achieve it. If the menu looked feature rich like Word, or something similar, we'd be cooking with gas. I hope the developers will be more quickly responsive to user demands.
