Apl 2018 The app now has full screen view in landscape making it officially the best outliner in the App Store There are apps that make fancier outlines but frankly on the iPad fussing with formatting is just annoying Plus they use proprietary formats This app uses OPML which with Dropbox sync makes it easy to transfer usable data between all platforms This plus the ability to fold text hiding points you re not working on makes it a great way to get serious writing done on the iPad Feb 2016 I ve had Outliner since iPad 1 and it s still the best OPML app in the store And still desperately needs 1 full screen landscape mode and 2 ability to select Dropbox folder for sync Neither of these are hard Older This is a really good app It does outlining just outlining really well Which is why it is so frustrating that after 5 years the developers still haven t released a version adapted to the IPAD What you get is two iPhone screens sitting next to each other crowding the space and making it harder to actually write Carbonfin put in full screen landscape mode in the next version Please Old review Function wise this is the best outliner in the store Although it doesn t have the fancy formatting of omnioutliner it also doesn t require their proprietary format And Dropbox sync means I can avoid Carbonfin s sync services too that s good Problem as it s been since the beginning this app in landscape remains two iPhone screens glued together Full screen mode in landscape would be easier to use with large outlines better looking and would prevent me from unwanted touches on the list of outlines Please please give us full screen mode in landscape as I ve been asking for three years now All other apps do it so I know you can too                     The best jg6464
I like the app very much I use it for my things to do list with a different outline for different categories I switched from Toodledo for my to do lists because with Outliner I m able to manually sort the items I m only giving three stars because the support for the product stinks I ve contacted them many times with product enhancement ideas and never even receive an acknowledgement let alone a meaningful reply This has happened many times I haven t seen an upgrade come through for a very long time also Is the product still being supported UPDATE Recently the developer has stated that he hasn t thought about this app for a long time but he may get back to it sometime This is becoming an issue Apple apps are becoming orphan children as quickly as new apps get designed It makes you think twice about putting a lot of meaningful data into an app that may not be supported in a little while When an app is abandoned by its designer it doesn t even load up on your iPad after an iOS upgrade I ve had apps disappear never to be seen again because they are no longer listed in the App Store             app great support stinks felderguy
I ve tried dozens of outlining and mind mapping apps but always return to Outliner It just works Keep up the good work guys This is one of the single most useful apps in my toolkit                     Been Using it for Years John Cartan
This is a truly wonderful and very useful and usable app Compared to it many other apps for note taking seem gimmicky Some are cool I ll admit but Outliner is pure Classic in its focus on creating no fuss outlines to give both great flexibility AND maximum control The latest version is even more constructively powerful by its ability to focus in on any suboutline you may be working with removing the surrounding clutter until you re ready to rejoin it Great search And by the way Outliner is also considerably enhanced by the new Icons feature of IOS8 The icons add flair to your outline and even better you can search on the icon For example whenever I create an item that has to do with music I now insert a musical note Then later I can quickly search all the iitems that have musical notes This is quicker and more intuitive than formal tagging svhemes Terrific App all around                     This App gets better and better Close to perfect Zignfrew
CarbonFin s Outliner is still my favorite outliner on the iPad It is by far the easiest to use and works just like the outliners on my Macs twenty or thirty years ago Except that it is MUCH more fun to use with the iPad s touchscreen I can outline articles or newsletters or simply jot down ideas much more quickly here in Outliner than in just about any other app on my iPad Being in outline format where you can simply tap the triangles to hide or show child items or whole sections you can quickly find related items and put your new idea in context Or not I ve always loved outliners since my first Mac using ThinkTank and Acta and More Pencil and paper could never match a computer too much scribbling erasing and filling in margins I never got into the habit of cutting the paper into thin strips or using index cards which were too expensive anyway and better used as flash cards Once affordable home computers appeared outlining on pieces of paper was instantly obsolete Thanks Steve and Steve And thanks to Dave Winer for his early easy to use outliners You can write almost anything with Outliner I ve written articles where I outlined each paragraph Each sentence was a different item and sometimes even each phrase so that I could rearrange them until I achieved the impact I wanted I m sure that people have written books with it I ve tried but I never had the endurance nor the typing speed For people like me Outliner is better suited to writing poetry or lyrics or short stories And it should be great for constructing jokes I use the iPhone version for grocery lists and to jot down or even dictate ideas Maybe I should try dictating a novel in Outliner on my iPad That would be doable Apple has a great dictation feature using Siri Might even be fun When does NaNoWriMo start Why wait                     My favorite outliner jimcgreevy
I ve tried several of the bigger outline apps out there and this one remains my favorite My favorite features instant syncing iPhone iPad apps a full featured web app for times when I need web access outline sharing hiding archived lists My wife and I mainly use it for sharing lists of todos when we have trips or events we need to plan together The thing has never crashed and the syncing has been flawless                     Elegant and powerful syncing and sharing js66
Facilitates navigating from the high level concepts to the gritty details and back I ve used this tool for years to compose speeches develop programs plan meetings prepare debates design experiments outline book manuscripts and more This is easily one of my top five must have tools                     Thought navigator refiner amg69
I use both the iPad and iPhone Carbonfin apps The new auto sync feature is excellent Syncing between the iPad and iPhone via Dropbox makes having my outlines with me all the time easy and backing up the outlines on my Mac is simple via Dropbox The app continues to get many useful enhancements It is a basic outliner uncluttered with bloated and distracting features Highly recommended                     my most used app clydeBassetHound
I ve been using carbon fin for a few years It s is the most versatile and flexible apps I ve ever used So many apps are all bells and whistles and some are way too complicated I ve used them all Pone of the best                     This is the best most under rated app in the store Nesie100
This I precisely the outliner that I was looking for It allows me to create a hierarchical list of items where I can indent them into sub lists Reorganizing the list is as easy as dragging an item It also has check boxes which is great to show if I have completed an item This is simple elegant and priced right                     Very Nice GuyLock
I have used outliner for 4 years daily It is the best way to plan organize and execute ideas to do lists projects Very intuitive working style PC version is not as easy to use as ios but I don t use it much Nice to have Wish list Automatic sync without having to do it manually Print an outline section or item directly without having to copy and past to notes                     Excellent Lehooks1
What distinguishes this sweet little program is that it works flawlessly across platforms web iPhone and iPad and at no extra charge In this aspect it represents what every mobile piece of software should be but what only a handful are This is the real deal and a bargain at the price Update this program has sadly fallen very much behind the best in class in the past year It takes too many steps to organize etc Competitors such as taskpaper in which you can rearrange outlines w drag and drop and syncs directly via Dropbox on iOS have left this once gem of a program in the dust                 A model program Matsutake69
I needed something to transfer my ithoughtshd mindmaps into a linear form for presentations Import export is perfect Simple and easy Not weighted down with needless features                     Quick and easy Logsdon1
Full featured and fairly easy to use although it relies on the menu bar a lot Unfortunately the font is too small for the iPad Mini There s a switch for an even smaller font which is nuts but it really needs a full selection of fonts and sizes Even simple plus and minus buttons for text size would work Also changes selected in dialogs don t update until you close the dialog It does everything you could want but it desperately needs a user experience UX overhaul         Font too small Webvex
I m something of an outline fanatic and this app is awesome It s a perfect blend of functionality and ease of use One feature I love is you can collapse all the sub items under a heading move the heading in the outline and it takes all the subitems with it one swipe handles it all                     Excellent SumRandumbDude
I have three outliner apps but this one is tops for ease of use I get it and the controls for moving items are great Thanks for the new update                     Wonderful iron bridge
I ve been using Carbonfin for several years while completing four years of graduate study When I start my final papers or independent projects Carbonfin is the first app I open The syncing over Dropbox is flawless and it s best feature I have this app on my iPad and iPhone and a stand alone outliner on my Mac so I m able add ideas whenever they come build my arguments and work in whatever setting I find myself If you are in any line of work where outlining your thoughts is crucial or necessary you must get this app                     Simply wonderful lukemperez
Great product perfect for sketching ideas on the iPad I m beginning to use it for a lot of my creative thinking because Outliner is so quick and simple to use Also it has the right amount of sleek power without too many bells and whistles Half of me thinks that columns would be a good addition or at least one extra column but the other half thinks that notes actually perform that function and wouldn t want to detract from such a rock solid app The whole point of an outliner is that it should be simple and fast enough to let you concentrate on getting your thoughts out and Outliner does I use the notes for fleshing out the one line entries en hide the notes when changing the order of the items I m currently using it to edit small films I watch the films make one line entries in Outliner then can rearrange these lines into some sort of watchable order That s why Outliner s simplicity is so powerful new entries are so fast it stops me messing about with content and let s me concentrate on ideas The OPML export is genius too as I can reimport into desktop programs I tend to keep files on Dropbox and export when I ve finished Thanks for putting the hours into this it s just as it should be                     Fast and simple works well ritemart
THE BEST APP SIMPLE USEFUL SYNCING EXCELLENT I usually dont write review but this app does so much for me and it is so convenient that I was compel to write a review This is worth more than 5 stars I work in clinic I put all my notes in this app online And they are in my iPad and iPhone instantly Notes Many info that I want immediate access are here Reminders Meetings Projects Things need to get done With completion status bar It does not have a lot of eye candy graphic it is very simple to use And work seamlessly And putting info on web site and sync it instantly is a blessing You can save to Dropbox But your info store on this app web site anyway Great app worth every penny Developer promise PDF export And that will really make it complete                     The best app for note or tasks and project jeelkesh
I ve been looking for something that enables me manage tasks and have the total flexibility to move them into any order and any hierarchy I choose This App does that While it seems a little more than some lower performing Apps the price includes free access to their online sync capability and online editing Yes the iPhone and iPad versions are separate but identical apps so you pay for each but its worth it I did not give it 5 starts simply because I am a tough judge and I have extreme expectations I still want to see some additional task functionality added without over complications that the addition of these items normally create                 Impressed and it isn t expensive Titch-Neil
Solid App Like the online access too Great for sharing tasks with my programmers Wish it had a Gantt function but I pay 200 for that desktop application and this is only 4 99 Pretty good deal for all this utility I ll recommend it and use it                 Very helpful Heavy Geo
This app replaces the little notebook I used to carry everywhere Can make todo lists with sub items in a tiered outline style Keeps track off progress Also handy for jotting down little things to remember in a variety of categories and outlining projects Nothing fancy but easy to set up however you want and very easy to learn and use                     Simple and Easy 3CrazySamurai
It works Very basic Saves to Dropbox Worst part is the iPhone version is a separate 4 99 app Ripoff to use it on two devices             So so John the artist
This is quite a good app right now It could be better see below but the features are there a Outliner a 5 Almost perfect Love the notes This makes follow up of actions and progress very convenient I love the fact that an entry can be just text or a task Extremely powerful b Text Editing a 4 Very basic Would love that the numbering system will be exported It is far more easier to refer to actions by a number rather than by the full title c Exporting 3 Only exports files attachments A full HTML text export will be more than useful d Sync 5 Dropbox sync works perfectly e File system 3 Very rudimentary The work around is to export the Outline as a mail and save the mail in an other application that offers file management features f Task Management 4 No real task management feature assignee due date g Conclusions and suggestions An App with a lot of potential Deserves the 4 but not yet the 5 May I suggest CarbonFin work with other companies to INTEGRATE their products together then offering a full feature product that can be a real hit amongst the professionnal community For instance but I do not pretend to make CarbonFin strategy I use a lot Notebooks because of their text editing their powerful mail system and the real file management system But Notebooks is missing an Outliner badly nd also a more powerful task management system Combining the two products will lead to a fantastic product Congratulations guys this is a an App with plenty of potential                 Good start Epecq
Just barely functional Text select cut paste and insert easily confuse editor resulting in wrong cursor location Most operations occur via icons so natural gestures ANY gestures don t work This means your hand is flying around the screen which is slow and often covers your outline It is hard to rearrange items as you have to cut and paste see above re bugs Many other outliners with more functionality for less     Primitive buggy OpticalDweeb
OmniOutliner is prettier and offers columns this outliner lets me get real work done fast It s easy to make and rearrange an outline and it works with both email and the developer s free online syncing service Easy to get data in and out with OPML I actually use OmniOutliner too but for specific purposes involving highly formatted documents I create on my Mac For serious thinking and outlining on the go whether on my iPad or iPod this is what I prefer to use because it gets out of my way and lets me work Also let s me organize my outlines with tags which I can treat like folders Wishes Dropbox support would be nice UPDATE The addition of Dropbox support has been very helpful Unfortunately one must opt for Dropbox support on a file by file basis and the syncing is not automatic Still it s pretty easy                 Great outliner Mark Stoneman
This app is easy and doesn t have any frills that get in the way Cons Only outputs in opml and it doesn t interoperate well with other programs that use the format It would be great if it could import and export to word processor formats I would like to see Word doc Powerpoint ppt odf and the like I will probably get the iPhone version for my iTouch in the hopes they interoperate well A tad expensive since they have to be purchased separately                     Simple Great AhhhhChu
I worked for an hour and I attempted to sync I received a message that authentication failed Then instead of taking me to the screen to try my password the entire outline disappeared from my iPad it s gone Grief     Lost everything Seth Kahan
If you want a basic checklist outliner that s well implemented and will sync between your iPad and iPhone Carbonfin s Outliner fits the bill However I can t help but feel that it could use a bit more metadata capabilities For example tagging individual items or giving them start due completed dates It wouldn t need to be anything as over the top as OmniOutliner s column layout In any case this works well enough for tracking projects and subtasks                 Solid basic outliner davidbrit2
This app doesn t have a lot of frills but for the price it s a very solid outliner and it s implemented very well Does the job cleanly looks good and works PDF export would be great but it seems to be an issue for many outlining apps                     On the simple side but great NoWayJoseHND
As a Special Ed Teacher I use it for generating checklists for evaluating my students in many skill areas Very convenient to be able to switch between a student s various evaluations while doing an observation and keep ongoing monitoring among several students                     Great for checklists Cojoy
Bought this hoping to use it to construct outlines and transfer same to Word via Dropbox for further development Text transfers but ALL outlining hierarchy is lost causing much do over If you want a captive to iPad app or intend to buy the very expensive OmniOutliner go ahead and get this It s good for only iPad use as far as I m concerned         Forget it for Word use Wervtynuimr
Since early in my education and all through my career I have been using outlining as an organizational tool This Outliner had me productive within minutes of downloading this APP Truly a useful APP and very pleased with the functionality and results oriented deployment Bernard                     One of the most helpful APPS I have downloaded 1911hand
CarbonFin Outliner is on my list of must have iPad apps And now CarbonFin Outliner has Dropbox integration so syncing outline lists etc between iPhone iPad and computer is fast and foolproof Just be sure your computer s outliner program can handle opml files most do                     Now with Dropbox Integration webzilla.
Dropbox support is most welcome just waiting for the option to choose font and type sizes This is still my most used and most useful app Keep up the great work                     Keeps getting better Mowbot
Love carbon but would really like the option to choose a color theme I really prefer the grey                 Color themes kramecce
Simple but comprehensive interface Elegant and easy to use Nice overview of features to get going quickly I tried all the iPad outliners and for me this one is the best including the expensive one Pleasing esthetically with no goofy glitz Great app It s the one I was looking for                     Best Outliner CJinCI
This is a fantastic outliner without a lot of bells and whistles It does what it should do perfectly No need for the massive weird feature set on other outliners what is some of that stuff even for this is a perfectly simple perfect outliner                     Excellent simple workmanlike outliner for the price marigoldsandviolets
I ve looked at a lot of outline to do apps and this is by far the most elegant and easy to use example I have found If there was a way to sync it to cloud it would be perfect                 Excellent app J Becka
This may be a bit long but please read on It may save you a lot of time and trouble I really have tried ALL of the outline apps for the iPad save for one omnioutline because it was way to much money and the reviews were not good enough to blow 20 on the app just to try it but if I had it would have been the most expensive app I have ever owned I digress Sorry I just got SO cheesed off at the other outline apps Over promising and Under delivering on their claims of the greatness This is the closest I ve found to a true layout and numbering system for an outline app AND IT HAS UNDO Undo was missing from the others save one that would let you step back once unless you did something else then no dice If you think undo is no big deal Wait until you lose a tree of information or an entire outline by hitting an errant keystroke and you experience the stomach dropping realization that you can t get it back I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for an outlining app It s easy to learn it had a nice tutorial layout easy to use it actually does what you expect when you try to use it the online outline and syncing aspect was a breeze and the price was right I wish I had started with this one because it cost plenty to try the rest only to end up with the best one for my purposes for not a lot of money It s simple and true to the outline concept Good job on this one dev Thanks                 I ve tried them all This is my winner Jays job
I use a lot your app but I need color or bold text please GOD bless you                 The best but add color or bold Chhoficial
Been using for outlining a novel It works so well Once you learn how the controls work it s easy I would rather have iCloud or Dropbox to sync to but you can sync to dev s server Haven t encountered any problems Would highly recommend for writers like myself Great job dev                     Outstanding Ghayth00
I am an outline nut going back 30 yrs to PC Outline Grandview ECCO Pro and I love this app It s not a do everything app but for personal project planning it hits the sweet spot Having it on my iPhone iPad and Windows web makes it ubiquitous which is really the most important feature for a productivity app I do project planning at my PC tweak and update projects with my iPad in my easy chair in the evenings and then have my project lists with me in the car out in the yard or in the shop on my iPhone Tap synch and all platforms are seamlessly synced The notes feature is great also Could not be more pleased                     Excellent iPad iPhone Desktop versions Rustythevibeguy
Finally an app for both iPad and iPhone that does exactly what you expect without getting bogged down in presentation issues Omnioutliner or brainstorming glitz MagicalPad It has brought peace to my outlining soul                     Deeply satisfying Diego_Mondi
Too simple for me if I could add images I would have been using this since the first time I saw it Without image support it s too basic to be very useful in my life I keep checking to see if it has been advanced but alas not yet Giving up             Simple stable Business Joe
Great app the online access is fantastic But I d really like to be add a picture in the notes                 Almost perfect needs ability to add photos Charles10016
I first downloaded Sorted which is a good app but I needed something with a little more structure Outliner is so easy to use and was exactly what it was looking for I mainly needed a way to create a list and a series of sublists This was one of the only apps that could do that The addition of tagging filtering intuitive navigation and ordering and setting deadlines and checking off exiting todos made this a must buy Feedback One thing I d like to see is a labeling system like Gmail has to easily identify priority or grouping sighing a list Thanks                     Love this app The Lonely Winner

It this app had a reminder it would be a solid 5 star effort Its great to be able to organize entire ideas into a hierarchy of stated goals strategies and general notes For my part if I have an idea that goes in as the main unindented topic for this group Then the related ideas info goals are organized easily returntab into the several indent levels and any notes I might want to add are easily added to each level The notes can easily be seen as a partial view in the noted line In short as a gathering place for putting ideas together this is your app              A very useful app with handy features

What distinguishes this sweet little program is that it works flawlessly across platforms web iPhone and iPad and at no extra charge In this aspect it represents what every mobile piece of software should be but what only a handful are This is the real deal and a bargain at the price Update this program has sadly fallen very much behind the best in class in the past year It takes too many steps to organize etc Competitors such as taskpaper in which you can rearrange outlines wdrag and drop and syncs directly via Dropbox on iOS have left this once gem of a program in the dust              A model program
This is a fantastic outliner without a lot of bells and whistles It does what it should do perfectly No need for the massive weird feature set on other outliners what is some of that stuff even forthis is a perfectly simple perfect outliner                 Excellent simple workmanlike outliner for the price
Since early in my education and all through my career I have been using outlining as an organizational tool This Outliner had me productive within minutes of downloading this APP Truly a useful APP and very pleased with the functionality and results oriented deployment Bernard                 One of the most helpful APPS I have downloaded
Great product perfect for sketching ideas on the iPad Im beginning to use it for a lot of my creative thinking because Outliner is so quick and simple to use Also it has the right amount of sleek power without too many bells and whistles Half of me thinks that columns would be a good addition or at least one extra column but the other half thinks that notes actually perform that function and wouldnt want to detract from such a rock solid app The whole point of an outliner is that it should be simple and fast enough to let you concentrate on getting your thoughts out and Outliner does I use the notes for fleshing out the one line entries en hide the notes when changing the order of the items Im currently using it to edit small films I watch the films make one line entries in Outliner then can rearrange these lines into some sort of watchable order Thats why Outliners simplicity is so powerful new entries are so fast it stops me messing about with content and lets me concentrate on ideas The OPML export is genius too as I can reimport into desktop programs I tend to keep files on Dropbox and export when Ive finished Thanks for putting the hours into this its just as it should be                 Fast and simple works well
Ive looked at a lot of outline to do apps and this is by far the most elegant and easy to use example I have found If there was a way to sync it to cloud it would be perfect              Excellent app
Just barely functional Text select cut paste and insert easily confuse editor resulting in wrong cursor location Most operations occur via icons so natural gestures ANY gestures dont work This means your hand is flying around the screen which is slow and often covers your outline It is hard to rearrange items as you have to cut and paste see above re bugs Many other outliners with more functionality for less     Primitive buggy
I have three outliner apps but this one is tops for ease of use I get it and the controls for moving items are great Thanks for the new update                 Wonderful
Love itif I could just export to Evernote I could replace all of my other note taking apps              Would be perfect with export to Evernote
CarbonFins Outliner is still my favorite outliner on the iPad It is by far the easiest to use and works just like the outliners on my Macs twenty or thirty years ago Except that it is MUCH more fun to use with the iPads touchscreen I can outline articles or newsletters or simply jot down ideas much more quickly here in Outliner than in just about any other app on my iPad Being in outline format where you can simply tap the triangles to hide or show child items or whole sections you can quickly find related items and put your new idea in context Or not Ive always loved outliners since my first Mac using ThinkTank and Acta and More Pencil and paper could never match a computer too much scribbling erasing and filling in margins I never got into the habit of cutting the paper into thin strips or using index cards which were too expensive anyway and better used as flash cards Once affordable home computers appeared outlining on pieces of paper was instantly obsolete Thanks Steve and Steve And thanks to Dave Winer for his early easytouse outliners You can write almost anything with Outliner Ive written articles where I outlined each paragraph Each sentence was a different item and sometimes even each phrase so that I could rearrange them until I achieved the impact I wanted Im sure that people have written books with it Ive tried but I never had the endurance nor the typing speed For people like me Outliner is better suited to writing poetry or lyrics or short stories And it should be great for constructing jokes I use the iPhone version for grocery lists and to jot down or even dictate ideas Maybe I should try dictating a novel in Outliner on my iPad That would be doable Apple has a great dictation feature using Siri Might even be fun When does NaNoWriMo start Why wait                 My favorite outliner
This app is easy and doesnt have any frills that get in the way Cons Only outputs in opml and it doesnt interoperate well with other programs that use the format It would be great if it could import and export to word processor formats I would like to see Word doc Powerpoint ppt odf and the like I will probably get the iPhone version for my iTouch in the hopes they interoperate well A tad expensive since they have to be purchased separately                 Simple Great
I use a lot your app but I need color or bold text please GOD bless you              The best but add color or bold
This may be a bit long but please read on It may save you a lot of time and trouble I really have tried ALL of the outline apps for the iPad save for one omnioutline because it was way to much money and the reviews were not good enough to blow 20 on the app just to try it but if I had it would have been the most expensive app I have ever owned I digress Sorry I just got SO cheesed off at the other outline apps Overpromising and Underdelivering on their claims of the greatness This is the closest Ive found to a true layout and numbering system for an outline app AND IT HAS UNDO Undo was missing from the others save one that would let you step back once unless you did something else then no dice If you think undo is no big deal Wait until you lose a tree of information or an entire outline by hitting an errant keystroke and you experience the stomach dropping realization that you cant get it back I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for an outlining app Its easy to learn it had a nice tutorial layout easy to use it actually does what you expect when you try to use it the online outline and syncing aspect was a breeze and the price was right I wish I had started with this one because it cost plenty to try the rest only to end up with the best one for my purposes for not a lot of money Its simple and true to the outline concept Good job on this one dev Thanks              Ive tried them all This is my winner
This is a truly wonderful and very useful and usable app Compared to it many other apps for notetaking seem gimmicky Some are cool Ill admit but Outliner is pure Classic in its focus on creating nofuss outlines to give both great flexibility AND maximum control The latest version is even more constructively powerful by its ability to focus in on any suboutline you may be working with removing the surrounding clutter until youre ready to rejoin it Great search And by the way Outliner is also considerably enhanced by the new Icons feature of IOS8 The icons add flair to your outline and even better you can search on the icon For example whenever I create an item that has to do with music I now insert a musical note Then later I can quickly search all the iitems that have musical notes This is quicker and more intuitive than formal tagging svhemes Terrific App all around                 This App gets better and better Close to perfect
Facilitates navigating from the high level concepts to the gritty details and back Ive used this tool for years to compose speeches develop programs plan meetings prepare debates design experiments outline book manuscripts and more This is easily one of my top five musthave tools                 Thought navigator refiner
Dropbox support is most welcome just waiting for the option to choose font and type sizes This is still my most used and most useful app Keep up the great work                 Keeps getting better
I am an outline nut going back 30 yrs to PCOutline Grandview ECCO Pro and I love this app Its not a doeverything app but for personal project planning it hits the sweet spot Having it on my iPhone iPad and Windows web makes it ubiquitous which is really the most important feature for a productivity app I do project planning at my PC tweak and update projects with my iPad in my easy chair in the evenings and then have my project lists with me in the car out in the yard or in the shop on my iPhone Tap synch and all platforms are seamlessly synced The notes feature is great also Could not be more pleased                 Excellent iPad iPhone Desktop versions
Love carbon but would really like the option to choose a color theme I really prefer the grey              Color themes
THE BEST APP SIMPLE USEFUL SYNCING EXCELLENT I usually dont write review but this app does so much for me and it is so convenient that I was compel to write a review This is worth more than 5 stars I work in clinic I put all my notes in this app online And they are in my iPad and iPhone instantly Notes Many info that I want immediate access are here Reminders Meetings Projects Things need to get done With completion status bar It does not have a lot of eye candy graphic it is very simple to use And work seamlessly And putting info on web site and sync it instantly is a blessing You can save to Dropbox But your info store on this app web site anyway Great app worth every penny Developer promise PDF export And that will really make it complete                 The best app for note or tasks and project
This is a really good app It does outlining just outlining really well Which is why it is so frustrating that after 4 years the developers still havent released a version adapted to the IPAD What you get is two iPhone screens sitting next to each other crowding the space and making it harder to actually write Carbonfin you brought in focus in this release Thats a nice adaptation to the small ipad screen So put in full screen landscape mode in the next version Please Old review Functionwise this is the best outliner in the store Although it doesnt have the fancy formatting of omnioutliner it also doesnt require their proprietary format And Dropbox sync means I can avoid Carbonfins sync services toothats good Problem as its been since the beginning this app in landscape remains two iPhone screens glued together Full screen mode in landscape would be easier to use with large outlines better looking and would prevent me from unwanted touches on the list of outlines Please please give us full screen mode in landscapeas Ive been asking for three years now All other apps do it so I know you can too           Needs full screen mode in landscape
This is quite a good app right now It could be better see below but the features are there a Outliner a 5 Almost perfect Love the notes This makes follow up of actions and progress very convenient I love the fact that an entry can be just text or a task Extremely powerful b Text Editing a 4 Very basic Would love that the numbering system will be exported It is far more easier to refer to actions by a number rather than by the full title c Exporting 3 Only exports files attachments A full HTML text export will be more than useful d Sync 5 Dropbox sync works perfectly e File system 3 Very rudimentary The work around is to export the Outline as a mail and save the mail in an other application that offers file management features f Task Management 4 No real task management feature assignee due date g Conclusions and suggestions An App with a lot of potential Deserves the 4 but not yet the 5 May I suggest CarbonFin work with other companies to INTEGRATE their products together then offering a full feature product that can be a real hit amongst the professionnal community For instance but I do not pretend to make CarbonFin strategy I use a lot Notebooks because of their text editing their powerful mail system and the real file management system But Notebooks is missing an Outliner badly nd also a more powerful task management system Combining the two products will lead to a fantastic product Congratulations guys this is a an App with plenty of potential              Good start
Bought this hoping to use it to construct outlines and transfer same to Word via Dropbox for further development Text transfers but ALL outlining hierarchy is lost causing much doover If you want a captive to iPad app or intend to buy the very expensive OmniOutliner go ahead and get this Its good for only iPad use as far as Im concerned        Forget it for Word use
