Description

OmniOutliner 3 for iOS brings structured writing to a wider audience with the introduction of OmniOutliner Essentials and adds highly anticipated features to OmniOutliner Pro. Try out both for free! FREE TRIAL With the free two week trial, you can try all of the features of Essentials and Pro. After the trial, you can continue to use OmniOutliner to view documents for free. ESSENTIALS EDITION FEATURES (Available via In-App Purchase) - Dark Mode: OmniOutliner’s UI automatically adjusts to correspond to the display mode of iOS. - File Browser: OmniOutliner now uses Apple’s file browser giving you more flexibility with where you store your documents and how they sync. - Multiple Windows: Increase your productivity on iPadOS by working with two documents at the same time. - Drag and Drop: Text can be dragged to documents. Rows can be dragged between documents or to other apps. - Keyword Filtering: Filter the outline by a keyword via the new Filter icon in the toolbar. - Simplified Inspector: Access simple document and text styling options via the redesigned Essentials Inspector. - Improved Outline View: Row handles and Status Checkboxes now follow the row indentation level. - Recent Documents: View recently edited documents all in one place, regardless of whether they're saved locally or synced via another service like OmniPresence or iCloud. - Templates: Choose a template or apply a theme to an existing document using OmniOutliner's new Template Picker. - Printing: Documents can now be printed via the new Print option in the Share menu. - PDF: Send a PDF copy of your document using the new PDF format option. - New File Format: OmniOutliner 3 for iOS adopts the new .ooutline format introduced by OmniOutliner 5 for Mac: a flat (zipped) file that is more compatible with third-party cloud sync platforms. - OPML Mode: When editing OPML files, features not supported by the file format are hidden or disabled. - Pro Document Compatibility: Documents containing Pro features are fully viewable in Essentials, along with an option to import a copy that removes all Pro content. PRO EDITION FEATURES (Available via In-App Purchase) OmniOutliner Pro 3 includes all of Essentials’ great new features, everything from OmniOutliner 2, plus all this: - Omni Automation: Cross-platform scripting with JavaScript. - Focusing: A Section List has been added to give you an overview and focus on certain areas. - Status Bar: When focused or filtered, a status bar appears to remind you that content is hidden and provide easy access to your full outline. - Drag and Drop: In addition to text, images and other files can be dragged to documents. - Filters: Create and save keyword filters. If you're syncing with OmniOutliner 5 Pro for Mac, you can also apply advanced filters created in the Mac edition of OmniOutliner. - Optimized Inspector: The Contents and Text Style Inspectors now open in a unified view on smaller iOS devices and as a unified sidebar on larger iOS devices, allowing for improved access to inspector contents. When space is available, the Inspector sidebar now persists on the screen, making it easier to make multiple changes to your document. - Outline Column: The outline column can now be placed anywhere in a multi-column document. - Excel & Powerpoint Export - Password Encryption: Add a password to your documents to secure them with AES-256 encryption. - New File Format: While .ooutline files are zipped by default, package files are still available for scenarios where that makes more sense, like for version control.

    Forcing customers to buy an account for each of their devices is outrageous and shows how this company feels about the consumer. Omni wants to gouge its customers, I wish I had known this before buying the desktop version I would have bought something else !

    Bugs don’t get fixed. Support is minimal. The user interface is horrible. The major advantage is integration between iOS and macOS, however it gets confused about which version is current.

    This 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.

  • Avoid for now

    Although the Mac app is a solid outliner that I highly recommend, I would avoid the iOS version for now. It is very buggy, and the sync function is weak. On the bug side, even though I paid for the pro subscription, the text of your outline bleeds off the screen, so that you’re forced to endlessly scroll horizontally to read your outline. This is a known bug that Omni needs to fix before the software becomes truly usable. Sync is also messed up and constantly forces you to choose from duplicate versions after you use both the iOS and Mac versions, even though you’re only using the iOS version to view your outline, not edit it. Very frustrating and not consistent with Omni’s usual high quality of product. For sure don’t waste your $50 on a pro subscription until the app is updated to address the bugs. I’ve removed the iOS version from my devices. Instead, I cut and paste my outlines into a Craft note and access them there. (BTW, Craft is a solid outliner with 80% of OmniOutliner’s functionality if you don’t need the most powerful though flawed outline ecosystem.) Sorry to be critical, Omni developers, because I love the Mac app, but the iOS version really disappointed me.

    Would 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).

  • Where I go to think, plan, organize and write

    I 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.

  • Very good - almost

    Very useful and I would buy it again. Would give it five stars except one important feature it is missing apparently, is that there is no feature in the app itself to take or access photos directly. You need to take a picture in the other photo app on your phone and then copy paste into this app.

  • Why do I have to create an account?

    By SBCpp
    I have subscriptions to several Mac and iOS apps that I bought on the App Store, all of which have a free trial period before I was charged the subscription fee. While no other app asked me to create an account, OmniOutliner would not me go past the launch page without first creating an account with Omni or just use the free “viewer” (like I need it if I never used Outliner). One of the reasons most off use buy apps ONLY form Apple’s App Stores is that we do not want to create accounts for every app we purchase. I hope the OmniGroup follow the example of other developers and let users try and purchase an use this app without having to create a separate account with Omni, especially since now it appears that we can sync with iCloud instead of Omni’s own sync server.

  • Expensive and buggy

    By Cookie Markster
    Don’t become dependent on this app. For the last few years I’ve dished out money for each upgrade which was supposedly optimized for the latest iOS and hardware. But each new version has gotten buggier and more unstable. My usage is very simple: public speaking outlines. No fancy stuff. Nevertheless, the most basic functions of the app are frustratingly slow and unintuitive. Several bugs come to the fore during split screen mode. Additional bugs exist in frequently used UI elements, requiring a lot of patience. It’s like the developers don’t actually test the app in the real world. Unfortunately, there is nothing close to this app that I’ve found yet. So I’m dependent on it.

  • Powerful, but weak user support

    Premium app with a premium price tag. Interesting JavaScript-based automation support on MacOS and iOS. Alas, the user forums are essentially dead, and it’s difficult (impossible) to get a response on their Slack channel or even Twitter.
