This is free, but it isn’t as simple as Dropbox or even iCloud. To me the main drawback is that they encourage you to use their proprietary sync-service, OmniSync. It’s when you want to make use of the columns that it starts to feel a bit clunky, though I’m not sure there’s a way around that on a device like the iPad.

Building a simple outline on the iPad is pretty standard. I haven’t experienced any crashes, but my outlines are not big, sprawling things. I can’t say that I use it extensively, but I do use it. I have OmniOutliner installed on both my MacBooks and on my iPad Air. Apparently its files can also be accessed by desktop outliners via Dropbox as OPML. It doesn’t have a desktop app, but it syncs with a web app ( ) that you can access via a browser (and download the files as OPML). > How is it for simple outlining on the theįor simple outlining on iOS you could try CarbonFin ( ).

What are people’s experiences with it on this forum? How is sync? How is it for simple outlining on the the iPad or iPhone?Īccording to the reviews for the OS X version of Omni Outliner it is very crash prone, so it doesn’t sound like spending all that money would solve the crashing problems I’m facing with Cloud Outliner. I see they just released a new version, but it is very expensive and there are quite a lot of negative reviews for such a costly program. A few years ago I looked at it again but didn’t buy it at the time because there was no sync solution. I used OmniOutliner years ago (before there was an app store) and found it very clunky with lots of non-outliner features (it seemed more like a spreadsheet program).
