I have a lot of checklists in my workflow. An outliner list of faculty applying for promotion (heading of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor. The children of those headings are the fa...

I'm not sure why it is perceived as being light on features. I think that reading through the user manual, as you have, should give a nice overview of what it can do. It has way more features than I n...

Notetaker 4 is back up on the App Store now that a surprise bug has been removed.

Ahhhh......
The betas were all basically crash-free unless one was doing something pretty special. This one apparently crashed on startup! They should have a fix very soon.

For some reason, Notetaker appears to have been removed from the Mac App store. Searching for it by name doesn't bring it up, and clicking on the link from Aquaminds tells you that it is not availabl...

I was bemused a few years ago when the newest update for Pages had fewer features, including some features that I needed, features that had me using Pages instead of Word or Nisus Pro. The removal of ...

I tried moving my workflow to a high-end iPad with Brydge keyboard and Apple Pencil. My productivity plunged, and I spent way too much time cursing at my failed attempts to navigate with a touch scree...

I wish that it had a few more 1980s features, like allowing me to control the item numbering the way Grandview did. Omnioutliner does allow tweaking of the numbering style, but the way it does it driv...

I’m pleased with it as it does the job of maintaining my myriad lists of names, steps, emails, web addresses, and tasks in one place and searchable. I don’t think it was over-hyped or prom...

It isn't markedly different for my typical usage. I think the world has probably passed me by as well.

Oops! Version 4 was so long in coming, I skipped a version!

Notetaker 5 is now available in the Apps store.
Back to Workflowy from Dynalist

I'll give Workflowy a try. I agree with the frustrations with Omni Outliner. I spend more time trying to remove the formatting that seems to accumulate.

Ae the advantages of the paid version of WorkFlowy sufficient justification to upgrade?
I used Cornell spiral notebooks throughout college and grad school, but they weren't named that back then. They just were "really wide margin" sheets, with no box at the bottom of the page.

As far as I know, they are only working on Notetaker and Noteshare. I cannot seem to warm up to iPad outliners, from anyone. Ultimately, I think people who want to do outlining or list-making on an iP...

I went back and forth between CPN and Notetaker. CPN was "cuter" and more colorful, but found Notetaker better suited to my workflow.

Everything has functioned perfectly, though I don't use some of the features (recording sound, etc.). I did think they would have it ready to go in about January, but they continue to find little bugs...

Looks promising. I’ll bite.
Demise of NoteMap

It seemed to be marketed as software for attorneys rather than a general audience. I'm not an attorney, but know that they like some types of outliner software (like Circus Ponies Notebook).
Fast Software, the Best Software

What I so disliked about Windows taking over is that I no longer had supported apps in MS DOS. I used the blazingly fast XyWrite IV for word processing, MaxThink and GrandView for outlining, Symantec'...

I still get regular updates to the beta. I found a small cosmetic flaw months ago, which they corrected. The betas that I am getting come with a list (usually only a few items) that correct issues if ...
I gave up on Ayoa. I don't want to pay a subscription to something that is so unintuitive, clumsy, and partially functional. Having a calendar that doesn't sync with Apple calendar was a big mistake. ...
Version 6 is out of beta and is available for download. I very much like the interface of this program. I'm using it where I used to use Evernote (notetaking for voiceover sessions).
reMarkable Paper Tablet

The screen is better for writing than is the iPad glass screen. But if you buy a paperlike plastic covering for the iPad, they are about the same for writing.
