OmniOutliner 5 for Android

I want this to work, so bad. But instead of making me work efficiently, I am grinding my teeth and spending way more time trying to keep my outline and notes orderly instead of letting the program turn them into confusing jibberish. Try this out if you are a glutton for punishment and want to triple the amount of time it takes to do anything.

I've been trying to use Omnioutliner for a couple years. I love the idea of it. I certainly see the potential. However, if you want to hear a user cussing at his Android, come by when I'm trying to do somethign in this tool. It might be the least intuative piece of software I try to use. - Promoting and demoting- easy tab and shift tab, unelss it defaults for some reason to makeing every return a child. .and then I have search teh manual to figure out why. - Open a OPML Doc. and half the functionaliy is missing. Can not figure out how to update or save as the right file.. - Formating is clugey, have to figure you inspector or formatting window you want, It's a long list for me. Maybe I'm just not that saavy or have a block when it comes to this tool, .. here we are. The good news, and why it has three stars, when I do finally figure out how to make it work, it's great. Sadly that's about 1/2 the time

I downloaded the latest version of OmniOutliner to start my 14 day free trial with the intension to subscribe to Pro for Android and iOS. After I dowloaded the app, I clicked to launch it but to my surprise there are only 2 options available: 1) free viewer and 2) create an account to start the 14 day trial. Wait a minute, this is being sold on the App store and supposedly sync with iCloud Drive. Why do I HAVE to creat and account with the OmniGroup? NO! Thank you very much!

I have been using Omni Outliner for years. I keep and take notes, keep and present meeting minutes, and work on writing projects. The ability to drag and drop lines and rearrange the outline works so well for me. I also keep a book of short writings with each poem or short piece in the text area or outlining area under its title. I know the app is much more capable to do many more things than I've learned. I have found it indispensible for the way I work and the needs I have for a writing, organizing program.

This app has come a long way, but, really really simple things like selecting a column and standardizing typeface, font size, etc. don't work.
