Ratings and Reviews
Rating: 4.5/5 based on 8+ reviews

5 ★ Outliner is really two apps in one: an outlining tool (which is how I use it) and a task manager. It is a great tool for planning (e.g., creating work breakdown structures), writing (e g., outlining articles and presentations), etc. I wish there was a smoother way to transition from an outline to the finished plan or document but there is value in keeping it simple.
5 ★ Still simple and the best
5 ★ This is an excellant app. I use it for everything. It is so much more than just a todo list. The only thing I dislike about it is the inability to save and open each individual outline without the awkward hassle of importing and exporting. Some of my outline are extensive. I would gladly pay more for that option. Expand your vision and make this more than a checklist. Incorporate the save and open feature and you will have a superb app. Great work so far.
4 ★ I was never able to create useful outlines until outline programs/apps became available. Finally, I was able to restructure hierarchies without tearing up each draft. They are very useful in capturing unstructured ideas, and then forming them into logical structures. My favorite was, and continues to be, ECCO PRO, a discontinued Windows program. Unfortunately, no one has reverse engineered ECCO PRO to run on Android devices, such as my cell phone. This "Outliner" is the best Android substitute I could find. I often reccomend it to others.
5 ★ I really love this Outliner, I use it all the time, it is so useful to me, especially as I can still use my Bonsai PC app to update my outlines, and synch to all my devices. There is only one other feature that, for me, would be really useful, which is the ability to hide completed items. I know it's possible to delete them, but I would prefer not to do that as I often duplicate an old outline as a starting point for a new one. UPDATE: Thanks for the quick response - perfect solution, thanks!
5 ★ out of all the organization apps, this is by far the MOST Effective!!!! i am an artist with ADHD and all the other apps with these bells and wistles just get everything more complicated. This is the only app i found that makes sense and has a purposeful flow . not to mention what ive been dting to find; color coordinator. not onky that, but UNLIMITED amount of colors! For an unlimited amount of lists and sublists!!! FINIALLY!!!!! Finially found THE BEST ORGANIZATION APP HAMDS DOWN!!!
4 ★ I actually like this pretty well, despite a couple of gui annoyances. but the export function lacks a filesystem browsing option and I suspect will not save to the sd card. I agree with Gerald Clark an individual outline save option (esp. to sd card) would be a huge improvement. Not everyone wants everything sync'ed to the cloud. Developer is very responsive, gave me some work-arounds, so increasing to 4 stars. Hopefully hell implement the file chooser for export soon.
5 ★ Thank you so very much developer for such an amazing app. It's very helpful and is one of the best in play store. I just have two requests: 1:Can you please have an option to choose the default 'insert time and date' format? Like 12 hours format for time and dd/mm/yyyy format for date? 2: It'd be great if this app have some themes, or atleast a 'dark mode'. I am hoping for these features in an upcoming update. I shall be grateful. Edit: Ok, thank you so much for informing and help. I'm grateful
5 ★ UPDATE: This app is awesome. Developer was very quick to respond to my email re: question below. The answer is that currently, to auto-sort alphabetically, simply create a header task, then make your list of items in a subtree/subtasks. From there you will be able to auto-alphabetize the list : ) If you want to sync tasks with Gtasks, don't create more than 1 subtree though, because Google is phasing out support of more than 1 subtree deep. Sounds like developer is working on ability to auto-alphabetize main task list in future updates. I've upgraded my rating from 4 to 5 stars : ) Original remark: How to sort Main Tree? I really like the functionality of this app! However, can not figure out how to automatically sort the main tree of just one specific list (I've only seen how to sort a sublist). Anyone have some thoughts on this?
5 ★ Been using the tool on and off for a while, and it's been an easy pleasant experience. I just imported my Memory Journeys, from a Treepad hjt file. Perfect ; no glitches. One feature that isn't necessary, but would be nice, is a random mode. So e.g. RapidInfo KnowledgeBase has a semi-random quiz mode. And Personal Brain has a feature that selects nodes at random. Admittedly, I'm not sure how it would look, in a directional Tree Structure, other than random navigation of nodes. Thanks.
5 ★ Great tool to manage and co-ordinate projects for me. I bought the Pro upgrade after using it for a few months. I use it to keep track of a To Do list of projects in an Outline format with sub-tasks. I haven't got sharing between my tablet and phone figured out, I believe that will raise the bar. 2 isuggestions for mprovements that might assist me, an in process indicator perhaps with a progress indicator, and time estimate and summary.
3 ★ WARNING: this app does not sync with itself. In other words, even if you have both the free and pro key versions installed on two devices, the app still will not automatically share files between the devices. Your apparently have to use third party services to share files, jumping through several minutes worth of clicking in the process. Also, when I tried to import a shared outline file from Google docs, the app would only recognize locally shared files, not anything shared in Google Drive.
5 ★ I Have been using outliner for a few years now. It is by far irreplaceable and I have test driven a few outliners. The power and simplicity are unbeatable. A must tool.
5 ★ Great product. Essential to managing my life. Have used Pro version for several years. And Freddy is very responsive to issues.
5 ★ IMHO this app is SOLID. I've tried a large number of outliners and always ended up frustrated. This one hits all the bases and home plate too. If you rely on outlines, this is your app.
