It’s a measure of WorkFlowy’s minimalism that introducing bold and italics constitutes big news and comes with an air of regret from the developers… :)
Personally I didn’t miss it, but I can see that it might be useful to those who actually use it as a writing tool (there is an option to export the outline as formatted text).

When I tried to launch WorkFlowy on my iPod Touch 4th gen. (iOS 6.1.6) today, it gave me an error message:
“Connection to WorkFlowy failed. You may be offline.”
I was offline; however, the iOS app supposed to work offline and it always has in the past. Has anyone else come across this problem?

Thanks, Dr,. Andrus. I just downloaded it and tried it out a bit. It’s still very rudimentary. You can indent and outdent items but I can’t see any way to re-order items, which is a big problem for an outliner. The layout is attractive so I hope the developers will add functionality: re-ordering items, perhaps some simple formatting options, and exporting for a start.

I played with it a little more and you CAN move items around with a long-press on the item. You can also add in-line notes under an item. It does appear that you can only have a single outline with the app, unless overlooked that, too.
