Former Notability and Curio User

I don’t understand the criticisms of this app. At this point it seems to be working perfectly for me and I’m having no problems with the new version. Syncing is faster, a backup is stored in iCloud for data safety, and it has numerous levels of nested storage in notetooks. It looks good and works well. I really like it and have eliminated my use of Notability due to data losses in Notability that their tech support couldn’t help with.

Prior review below:

Outline has come along at the perfect time for me with the right mix of capabilities. I’ve used Curio extensively in the past and it is probably the most full-featured Swiss Army knife application available for the Mac. It seems it can do almost everything to some extent. However, it appears that Curio will never have an iPad app and I use my iPad extensively when teaching college classes and when peer-reviewing publications. For this Mac/iPad integration I had been using Notability until I recently discovered that the PDF parts of project reviews I had graded were simply no longer there for the past semester. My annotations were there, but the pdfs on which they were written were not. After much messing around with tech support they seemed to indicate that I must have been using an earlier Notabilty version, when I was always using the most recent version.

So I began checking around and came across Outline. It can’t do everything that Curio can do, but it does much, much more than Notability and the organization is also a great deal better. It uses iCloud and my sync always just seems to work. It has all sorts of capabilities to send info to Outline and to share info out. It’s been a gradual process, but now my workflow is centering around Outline as an organized notebook system.

Highly recommended. If you buy it, go through the User Guide to see how to implement all its capabilities with the Mac.
