I see. I missed that. But they don’t mention a “per user” fee in their pricing policies, which is unusual for an app that is pushing collaboration. Also, I don’t see anything in the app that appears to facilitate sharing and collaboration. I may just not have drilled into it far enough.

3.5 years ago they briefly offered a premium lifetime subscription for $59 through StackSocial. In 2017 they were better known and regarded, but I remembered saying here that that deal sounded like they were in desperate need of cash flow. For whatever reason, soon after their profile dropped considerably and it is rarely discussed alongside other task managers these days.
As for not supporting Outlook etc, they threw in their lot as a Google- and Gmail-only product many years ago.

Looking at their blog, it seems that they their strategy of betting everything on Google/Gmail backfired when changes to Google broke the hooks they used to integrate with Gmail. They later came up with a new way of doing so, but how long till that breaks as well? I always worry about apps that are dependent on the goodwill of another company that doesn’t really care about their existence.
I tried using it for writing after it was mentioned here, but I did not find it intuitive at all - especially not coming from Workflowy/Dynalist/Roam style outliners. Although I would like better integration with tasks than I have in Roam, neither this nor NotePlan seems right for me. Instead, I’m working with some Roam plugins (built on Roam42) to make the tasks functionality more robust.

I too am not excited by the Google integration, although I do use Gmail for personal correspondence. A look at the Moo.do change log indicates that they are making updates every few days. In December they added Outlook mail support (still doesn’t help me, but is a promising new direction). I certainly don’t see a moribund app. Whether their choices will help create more buzz about Moo.do remains to be seen.

One thing Moo.do is really lacking is decent documentation. I especially wish they would provide video tutorials with use cases. I suspect that would go a long way toward helping potential users see how many great features the app has.
