“Grapevine” is another new outliner recently released for Android you may want to take a look at. (Full disclosure: I’m the developer.) It does not yet have a Windows counterpart for sync, but has a broad feature set including the ability to import Bonsai outlines (exported in CSV format) and SplashNotes outlines (in native format) and will also export in CSV format. The other Android outliners I’ve tried to use are very tedious when entering a lot of data because each entry is added through a separate “add element” dialog transaction. Grapevine has a continuous entry mode (much like Bonsai) that lets you keep typing line after line until you’re finished. Gestures are used to control indentation and deletion. External keyboards are supported, including the use of tab and shift-tab to indent and unindent.

I would much appreciate any feedback. I created this because I came to depend on Bonsai professionally and haven’t seen a decent replacement since I had to abandon the Palm and PocketPC platforms. I know desktop sync is a high priority.

Thanks for sharing. Have you tried it? How does the usability compare with Bonsai (ease and speed of use)? What I’m wondering about if it is more fiddly to use or is it good for quick outlining.
