OmniOutliner 3 for Positive User Reviews
✓ Very nice, but with a very important caveatI’m giving OmniOutliner five stars because, if you’re brand new to outliners, this I’m sure is a fine app, and their phone support is excellent. However, be advised that if you have been using another outliner, for example Carbon Fin’s, OmniOutliner will not open your existent .ompl outlines. Tantalizingly, you can copy the .ompl files to OmniOutliner, where they will momentarily display, but then be grayed out. Blame Apple’s iOS file handling for this, I’m told. Pity..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Love itLove the app. Thanks for the fix. Life just got better..Version: 3.2
✓ It is such a great outlinerI have used OmniOutliner Pro on the Mac since the early days of OS X. I’ve been using OmniOutliner Pro on my iPad for a few years. I think sometimes people overlook OmniOutliner because it has been around for quite a while now. However it is IMHO the best outliner for the iPad as well as the Mac. The ability to have multiple columns of various types brings enormous power and flexibility. It is just such a great idea and nobody else does it. Occasionally I try out alternatives but they never seem to be as good as OmniOutliner Pro. I use this app for so many things, lists for packing stuff for bicycle trips is one example. I have a column for identifying the bag on the bicycle the thing goes into. I’m in the middle of a really big writing project now and I’m using OmniOutliner Pro on my Mac and iPad for it and it is working out very well..Version: 3.8
✓ Use it every day…Omni Group apps seem to be a bit of a Marmite choice on the App Store. I use them every day and couldn’t work as I do with out them. OmniOutliner is probably my favourite. I use it for to-do’s, job sheets, long listings of all the files in my external HD’s. Call sheets for jobs, project plans. What I like is the ability to tightly control every aspect of the look and layout, love having alternate line colours, nesting and the flexibility. Try doing that in just about anything else. Yes, upgrades, especially to the Pro versions can be expensive but not that long ago any pro-spec software would have cost a lot of money. You get what you pay for and the support is second to none..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Excellent supportFrom time to time I have seen criticism of the Omni Support Humans. This has not been my experience; I have needed them two or three times over the past few years and each time they responded quickly and effectively. They resolved the issues I raised and I could not have asked for more..Version: 3.7
✓ Where I go to think, plan, organize and writeI never was into outlining before OmniOutliner. In fact, I didn’t even know such software existed, nor how much I would enjoy and benefit from it. The ability to move around my thoughts and notes in a hierarchical way not just helps me organize them, but actually improves the way I can think about them. I was never one for the classroom, but OmniOutliner singlehandedly has made me feel I could be a better student if I ever went back for more graduate studies. Beyond that I love the style settings, the support for extra columns, the ability to record inline, and even the mathematical spreadsheet-like capabilities (which are in a way even better than spreadsheets since you can organize the calculations hierarchically!). This is also a great developer to support. (I have no affiliation with them.) I also personally love OmniFocus and have both it and OmniOutliner on all my Apple devices - in fact, they are the only two pieces of software I have my Mac automatically start when I log in..Version: 3.8
✓ EncryptionFile level encryption is welcomed. I am not sure why they do t just use an elevated day protection class API and provide app level encryption but nonetheless it is a welcomed feature. I wish they would provide app level encryption for Omni focus..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Great UpdateSignificant update to a trusted tool..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Great appOne of my favorite apps. However - I wish it’s backup functioned more like OmniFocus. Whenever you make a change to a note, it re-uploads the entire note instead of the section you changed. Which isn’t awesome if you workflow uses big files. Other than that, couldn’t recommend more..Version: 3.0.1
✓ The best outliner out thereOutliners are a rare breed these days, but OmniOutliner is the best one out there..Version: 3.4.2
✓ AwesomeWould be even better if with apple keyboard in split app mode, tapping on the other app and then back resumed the keyboard editing position (rather than resigning the keyboard)..Version: 3.9.1
✓ Amazing app on iPad ProThey have really nailed it with their keyboard shortcuts - you can navigate completely from the keyboard, I would love to see this come to OmniFocus..Version: 3.3.3
✓ A great app but...Today I paid for the Pro version of this app because after trying many of the other outliner apps out, Omnioutliner is the most powerful. However, this is by far the most expensive app I’ve ever paid for, and I am disappointed at how infrequently it seems to be updated, as well as noticing there a number of (small) bugs. I am really hoping that my investment in this product pays off, and that the Omnioutliner team will release frequent updates that address bugs and add new features..Version: 3.7
✓ Great app just got betterI use outliner constantly for everything from writing to planning to a todo list. It’s great software. But this update only increases the power by bring it up to parity with the Mac OS app on features like filters and more. And yet the team implemented these things in an interface that fits iOS perfectly. Great app with great implementation..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Very Exciting App— esp. for the ProThis is a magnificent accomplishment. Kudos to the developers ! I’m a text maniac, and have always had a fetish for outliners, the more elaborate the better— and this one is quite so. Drawing from my experience with the great DOS classics, such as Grandview and Lotus Agenda, but having sidled over to the IPad platform, I didn’t honestly expect to avoid lowering my standards. But SURPRISE ! For “style people” there is the very extensive customization possible. For “text and data people”, there’s the elegant addition of columns, as well as a prolific search and filter set of options, providing many interesting views of your outline. In fact it’s so good that its one big flaw, from my perspective is that it does not do a full text search on all of its files, say from two years ago, unless you load them in separately. My current workaround is to export every outline I create, over to the app called Outliner, which DOES search all its files. This means keeping two copies of each file, one for each app, but it does the job without too much fuss. My WISHLIST for OmniOutline includes building in this capability into their program, so it becomes standalone as a very serious text management application.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Work-changing.Found and downloaded this app to help when I got stuck with a large project. It had just ballooned to a point where there was a mess of information and it was hard to keep track of, let alone actually making it into something useful and understandable that I could present. This app (esp the actual full Mac version) completely refreshed my entire approach to writing and working. In one work session I was able to accomplish what usually would take me 5. And it’s all because of the simple way you can “zoom in” on details when you need to work on them — and then close them to get a macro view of my work. From now on I’m going to do all my projects this way. Also, you should market this to law students - this app is so good it could probably help them make sense of legal writing (sections, subsections, clauses, subclauses).Version: 3.4
✓ Powerful and Indispensable if You Understand ItI am a longtime OmniOutliner (OO) user on both macOS and iOS, but I'm keenly aware that it is increasingly difficult to justify relatively expensive software to many users. The Omnigroup is one of a handful of developers who have taken both macOS and iOS platforms seriously, but new features typically lag in their iOS version. iOS has become my primary platform for the last two years and OO3 brings the iOS version up to date and with key features that I think make it more compelling for serious users. OO3 is now a free app download with two optional in-app purchases. The basic free version will allow anyone to view outlines, but not edit them; this is great for sharing outlines with those who are convinced they have no need for outlines. The "Essentials" upgrade supports editing with all of the features many would want to create outlines. The "Pro" upgrade adds the full feature set, which allows the user to create and navigate large text databases, along with better control for formatting and sharing, along with other features. I think the real challenge with this app is to understand what to use it for. It's not a replacement for word processors, nor for spreadsheets, although it can do many similar things. If there were more substantive examples of advanced OO3 use, I think it is likely more people would understand its value. One unfortunate trend with the Omnigroup has been to skimp on documentation, which now exists only in web form, making it difficult to search meaningfully, and which only presents features with few examples. If you aren't interested in figuring out how to use the advanced features, I doubt the price will make it worth it. So, I would give this five stars for those who can see the possibilities and are willing to dig in and learn it, but reluctantly only three stars for others. Regardless of which version you get, this is some of the most thoughtfully designed and expertly implemented iOS software I have worked with..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Easily organize your ideasGreat app if you need to categorize your thoughts, brainstorming sessions, and ideas. Take everything from feeling overwhelmed to easily evaluating and reviewing outlines. Can also be used to manage tasks and projects..Version: 3.3.3
✓ PricyBest outliner ever..Version: 3.7
✓ Essential for anyone working in a creative fieldOmniOutliner has revolutionized my workflow. One could think that an outliner is just for writers, and that Microsoft Word can also do outlining. But OmniOutliner is much more. I use it to write down my ideas, organize them, make them into projects, outline things to write, keep track of information in projects (since OmniOutliner can store many types of information) and much more. Before OmniOutliner I tried many different tools, and nothing really worked. OmniOutliner has made my work much more efficient. And with OmniOutliner 3, many useful tools from Mac has come to iOS. And then Omni writes very elegant programs that fully use the UI of iOS and and Mac. Definitely worth the somewhat high price..Version: 3.0.1
✓ What I did not expect...I downloaded this only because of the free trial and an idle hour. I already had a cheaper alternative, but I am too curious about apps for my own good. I was determined that at best I might, just possibly, buy the standard version, if it was *really* good. Then I tried the pro features for several days, and I am going to have to buy the full version. I did not expect that. Then I found something I needed that was not easy to do (long story, but connects to quite a specific usage scenario). I sent an email to support expecting to be added to a long list of possible future features. I got perhaps the most helpful response I have had to an app support request, providing me with a way to achieve what I needed right now. I did not expect that either. I have spent a few days deleting apps, trying to get rid of all the pretty things that once caught my eye and almost worked and to define a core workspace for the foreseeable future. This app is now, unexpectedly, a part of that core set. It does just what I need. Thanks to the developers for making it, and for the excellent support!.Version: 3.1
✓ How to reinstall successfullyVery good App. If you buy a new iPhone or restore a backup, if the App cannot restore it will stop working after 15 days, loading a trial version. Save the files, delete the App and reinstall it from iTunes. It will rework..Version: 3.6
✓ Six StarsThis app is amazing and awesome. It got me through graduate school and continues to propel my day-to-day work by helping me organize and track my planning. I wish it were updated more; Omni seems to be on the slow burn with this app, as it hasn’t been firing up the carts in the app store. It’s a shame. I get it. If Omni were to release an OmniOutliner 4 Professional with a monthly subscription, I’d jump on it..Version: 3.10
✓ Awesome app...This app is great! But, a star off for some really obvious bugs (that should’ve been caught in testing) and after all this time, still not offering some of the basic formatting options you find in the Mac version. That said, this app can do a ton... so it’s well worth a look..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Doesn’t hurt to try..You can’t go wrong with trying out both versions, before deciding if its worth your money or not, for your personal uses. Essentials is good for those that don’t need anything over complicated, fancy, and don’t care for extra customizations. Just need a basic outliner, and that’s all I thought I’d need until I tried out Pro, and couldn’t go without all the extra tools that made OmniOutliner so much more worth it to me. I’ve never gotten so far and finished an outline with my stories in a long time, until I got OmniOutliner. It makes the process much more easier and convenient do and move ideas/events and such around, or add extra long in depth descriptions, or add additional ideas to events and things that you want to remember, but at the same time, can hide it so it doesn’t disrupt the overall view and flow of the outline that you have. Not only do I use it to outline and organize my stories, and ideas, but recently, I find that it works well to use to make an organized timeline of events as well with the use of columns that the Pro version allows. Other timeline makers didn’t really fit what I wanted/needed (not even Aeon Timeline, that I got a refund for), but Omni surprisingly does the job well enough for me. I don’t know why I didn’t think to try using it for that as well..Version: 3.3.4
✓ Mariembourg kartingDear Terry I am deeply saddened about your behavior.Version: 3.10
✓ OmniOutliner 3Great product. The gold standard of outliners!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Great updateI use this app everyday and was very happy to support the its continued development by upgrading. Subtle changes ones that make the app more useful and useable..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Very useful idea organizerI’ve used Omni Outliner on the Mac for 14 years and it is unique in its ability to help me to see my ideas and organize them. This iOS version allows me to look at and modify my lesson outlines right in my pocket..Version: 3.6
✓ Logical information organzierWe’re using this to create/store information on a hierarchical or branch-like manner. It makes it logical to organise data. Yes, there’s other tools we use like Noto/OneNote, etc. However OmniOutliner is specifically excellent for organising data in structured manner..Version: 3.10
✓ Just focus on its own is amazingThis is so worth it. I love outlining. And I also love working in a clean, uncluttered, distraction-free zone. And this is exactly what the focus feature gives me. So I can just zoom in on one point and break it down / build it up. Also the whole layout is easier and sleeker now..Version: 3.0.1
✓ OmniOutliner is the Best!After trying many outlining apps, this the one for me! Appreciate the free trial and the ability to purchase for a one-time fee. (Pro version) has many templates you can use for outlines, lists, and more. You can save in various formats, including to Apple Notes app (keeps its level formatting). UI is relatively simple to learn; moving items and formatting helps you get organized. Also love the abilities to drag and drop text, add photos and url’s! Thanks, Omni Group, for an efficient and professional outline app!.Version: 3.1
