Outline

Outline has completely transformed my note-taking experience. As a student, I rely heavily on well-organized and accessible notes, and this app has exceeded my expectations. The seamless compatibility with OneNote is a huge advantage, allowing me to access and edit my notes across all my devices. I highly recommend it for anyone!

I would love to use the app, but every time I start it I get the message "Outline quit unexpectedly"

I like this application. I moved to this from CircusPonies notebook and I like the organization tools for this better. I also do appreciate the fact that the support team seems quite supportive so that when an issue occurs, I am not left in a lurch.

Not clear if there is a rev difference here vs Appstore purchase. Maybe that’s it & I’m being too cautious & cynical abt the cryptic & meager latest offer. OneNote is one of the best things MS has done. Outline is a better implementation, imo.

Outline has gotten very good & its always been prettier than MS OneNote. (Aside: OneNote is barely on par with the Windows release version that came out with Windows 7, from what I’ve seen. OneNote however, FREE & probably contributed to the demise of CP Notebook. OneNote wants you to use it instead of EverNote, which is different than what Outline does, with its local storage).

Outline has a method to port the new defunct Circus Ponies Notebook notes finally working crisply. I don't ever find myself using it as much as I ought, but Outline is nicely done. They’ve carried purchasers for a couple of years now.

Outline used to be a OneNote reader only. They have delivered exquisitely for anyone who bought at that time, relying on blind promises for improvement.

If you use OneNote on a PC, you can’t go wrong with Outline on the Mac.
Outline Upgrade just hit the street of 3.15.x.

As well as a questionable offer:
A “New Version Onboarding Price” good for 12 hrs only to the tune of $8 for iPad/iPhone version & $35 for the Mac Desktop version via AppStore. What precisely does that mean once removed from AD-Speak? The price here is $39.

This is strange wording, nearly indecipherable - instead of saying “hey look, we expect to release a fabulous version 4 soon & its going to cost you, so buy now at $5 discount."

They make a fine product, but they could do better to tell me what it is they are selling over on the Appstore.

Oddly in unison, the comment dropbox does not work in Appstore, to inquire.

In the Preference Window I uncheck the box asking if I want to share anonymous usage data but after restarting the application the box remains checked.
Mac version 3.14.2
Is this intentional?

Solid and tons of updates this year!

First impression is very positive - great app ;)

Great alternative to OneNote AND it lets you save notebooks locally (unlike OneNote). Even if Microsoft adds local notebooks I'll stay with Outline for other features beyond OneNote. I think its well worth the $40

Isn't the huge difference between Outline and OneNote is that you own your data with Outline ... and OneNote *has* to live on Microsoft's One Drive ....? I personally don't care if OneNote is free if Microsoft is also free to comb my notes for data to sell to advertisers ...

I guess this app is for users who really, really need OneNote compatibility. Other than that I cannot understand the price of this app – Growly Notes does so much more for 5$ that it's really no comparison.

I started a reply to Dolphinboy2u, but accidentally sent it off before I was finished. As I started to say, Outline 2.0 does what it claims to do, which is to allow you to open and edit OneNote notes, but it does not have half the power of OneNote. For instance, you can't create a table, there's no good way to capture information from outside the app, tags are limited to the ones bundled with the app, to name a few things. So don't get this expecting OneNote for Mac. But if you use OneNote heavily and want to be able to view and edit the text in your OneNote files, this app will do the trick.

I'm interested in Outline, now that it can edit files and not just read them. However,... No trial version for a $40 program, and only available through the Mac App Store? That's a tough sell.

Features are scant in version 1. It was a OneNote viewer only. With a much prettier interface than OneNote. They just released Outline 2 (Dec 2013). Which has an edit function. This vastly changes its usefulness. I cannot verify this, because Outline no longer launches after upgrading to version 2 via the App Store. Hope they will solve the issue promptly.
