I like Outline because everything in it is so well thought out that it is very convenient to use.

All work notes and projects, household chores, plans, travel essays, and just thoughts about everything fit into this app. Worth its money.

My fav note app for Mac

Outline's the real deal! It's like a digital junk drawer where you pile up everything. The new search is a game-changer – finds stuff faster than a caffeine hit. Editing tools? Easy peasy note surgery. Synchronization? Flawless. I'll be waiting for the dark theme.

This application is my daily companion to make simple and quick notes during meetings. I find the app easier to use than MS OneNote. Keep up the good work

Converted from a PC where I used OneNote all the time. OneNote for MAC is a joke in that they only allow for storage on Microsofts cloud. This is a perfect replacement and you can transfer files between the two programs easily.

I was a long-term OneNote user until I discovered Outline. It opens OneNote files like a boss, and doesnt require a OneDrive account. It is seriously fast opening up and syncing. No crashers to date (way better than OneNote in this respect) Key missing feature is font support.

One of the most useful applications! With this app, you can always have One Note notes on hand from your work computer. And you can drop some text or a picture on your computer from your iPad.
