So, if I’m reading this correctly, syncing requires paying for a monthly subscription on top of paying for the application. That also means the ability to sync is tied to whether or not the developer stays in business.
That alone is enough for me to take a pass on this one.
Though, I did play with a bit and even as a stand-alone desktop app, I’m underwhelmed. Why do I need to go to a separate “link” tab in order to click (actually double-click) on the links? Every other app of this type lets you just click on the link in the “document view” or whatever you want to call it.
It’s also waay too mouse-driven for my liking. I can’t seem to find a way to create links other than clicking the icon and using the pop-up Window? At this point, using double brackets to link is ingrained in me and while it’s a small thing, I really don’t like the extra step. More and more, I’m finding it’s the small things that factor into my decision to keep using or not use an app.

Yes, fair point, guv; I agree that it makes little sense not to automatically link subtasks, for example (although they’re shown in the “Info” pane for an individual item, as are parents); treating subtasks/subnotes as separate from links as such is a bit odd.
However, the developer is nice and responsive, so could perhaps be persuaded…
