User Rating:Finally an app that truly does away with the pen and paper system, Outline+ is one app that will satisfy your note taking needs.
Outline+ is targeted at students, and office workers alike. The main purpose of Outline+ is to enable users to take down notes efficiently, and the app does the job very well with tons of extra features. Some of these would include customization and formatting functions to make simplistic notes readable and pleasurable to the eyes. With plenty of easy to use styling tools in the app, Outline+ makes things even easier by doing away with complicated and hard to grasp functions.
Outline+ can also synchronize with Microsoft OneNote, whereby files can be read and edited through the app itself.
I also found the ability to share your notes with other devices through Dropbox very useful, as this meant that I could continue working on the same document on more than one device.
The default Notes app on iOS devices pales in comparison to Outline+ even though they basically serve the same purpose. With all these extra functionality, Outline+ is a nifty tool that everyone can appreciate.
The only downside however would be the steep price tag. At $14.99, I am not sure if many are willing to pay this much for such an app. As great an app this is, I am still rather put off by the price tag.
Quick Take
Value:High
Would I Buy Again:No
Learning Curve:N.A
Who Is It For:All users
What I Like:The array of formatting options
What I Don't Like:The price tag is too expensive
Final Statement:This is a really good app, but it still does not quite justify its price tag
