Dynalist 4+

I can barely type in my lists these days in the app on my iPhone 7. It’s like 6 second delay when I type a letter to it appearing on the screen and it is really annoying when trying to make a grocery list quickly. Hope y’all update the app, would pay for a subscription if you do more updates!

Is is perfect? No, but it *is* the best app I have tried (and I have tried them all) for organizing your writing. Dynalist in split screen with Ulysses or iA Writer is, without any real competition, the best writing experience on the iPad.

So, five stars. Not because there's nothing to improve, but because it's the best we've got, and if more people use it, maybe the developers will be able to spend time making this feel like an iOS app and a little less like a ported website. (Until then, the one bug which slowed me down at first has an easy fix : if you have it open with split screen and find the cursor getting captured by the OTHER app and not returning to Dynalist, use Command + Tab on your keyboard to switch back to the app.)

Dynalist Devs, thank you so much for making a truly useful app. If future versions felt a little less like a UI kit and a little more like Bear ... that would be wonderful, but take your time. This thing is worth getting right.

I tried all proclivity / note-taking apps but nothing came close to Dynalist. It’s not ideal, it has many problems and areas for improvement. Still, keeping in mind fast and reliable iOS app + fast desktop app + web clippers + iOS share extension + API + great outliner and features (like move item with a shortcut, quick full text search, global quick add shortcut, email to Dynalist, backlinks, etc), it’s my favorite productivity app. For me it works better than Roam Research, Obsidian, Notion, Evernote and other similar apps. Thank you dev team, you are great and please don’t abandon this beautiful product!

Now about features I miss:
- WYSIWYG editor. It’ll make backlinks, images, formatting prettier and will improve speed of working with Dynalist
- Sidebar or multiple windows for desktop app. Loved it in Roam. That really gives a boost to productivity
- Editable mind map view
- Kanban view (WorkFlowy )
- Ability to mirror blocks (WorkFlowy )
- Team collaboration and management. This one would be huge!
