Great for researchers to want ever-lasting and well organised notes

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

Dynalist is like a second mind to me. It takes webs of thoughts from my mind to the screen - in a way that its both accessible as a singular thoughts and as a web. It is very useful for me as a researcher who reads a lot, and needs to organise notes and comments from the texts I have read. Notes which I not only need in the near future, but that could be perhaps be useful for me 5-10 years later. Two features have changed my life: 1) the option to organise points in a collapsible format - only seeing what is important - and thus making it very easy to scan a long text months later with the headings you created alone. 2) The option to connect points and even sub-points from different files to each other. So when I am reading something today, I can be like - oh this is related to Point X I read in that document 3 weeks ago, and Dynalist lets me connect those thoughts - and add more and more. Finally I have a web of connected thoughts from different books - an article waiting to be written.

Cons:

The collaboration tools and sharing options could be much better. Also they don't allow image integration well which is a problem when I want to put images of tables in my notes.

Good for lists and quick notes

I couldn't use it as my full note taking software or for legal notes because it doesn't have the right features but I did keep check lists and used it as a sort of task management system.

Functionality

Pros:

Dynalist is very well structured! The finder is my favorite feature. Search results load as you type and are relevant. Dynalist is always fast and it's good for notes and lists. Lists can be changed to numbered or check lists instantly and each line can be dragged and dropped. The internal links actually keep their title, I hate when links take up an entire paragraph so that's great. Sync with Google calendar and manage to do lists.

Cons:

Dynalist is a little closer to the simple side than I wanted it to be. I wish there were built in spell and grammar check tools and I don't think the pro version is worth the paid subscription.

Functionality

Pros:

Dynalist is my go-to planning tool. The tool is one of the most elegant applications I have ever come across. It is so intuitive. And so useful! It allows me to organize ideas into chunks via bullet points and also allows these nested lists to go as deep as I want. I can reorder points on my list by copy-pasting it where I want with or without the nested lists. In addition, these bullets can be expanded and collapsed, which makes it possible for me to at times create huge documents around a specific idea without making the document look too overwhelming. The items in these lists are searchable and it is this feature that makes it most powerful. I can also highlight specific points via highlights, bold, italics, strikethroughs, etc. Everything is in the cloud and if you're a pro user like me, you can get daily backups of your work on dropbox and google drive. I use Dynalist for my personal as well as professional needs. I really love this tool!

Cons:

I don't think the tool has any cons as such. One minor issue I have faced (and I may be sounding hyper-critical here) is that if I want to upload a file, I know I have to drop the file into the workspace. The file gets uploaded and a link to the file is generated and is shown in a pop up. If I close that pop-up, I still don't know how to access that file. My workaround to that issue is to re-upload the file and use the new link from the pop up. Maybe there is a way to circumvent my approach, but since I didn't know how, I am listing it as a con (although it is not really a con).

Functionality

Pros:

Dynalist functions like a zoomable document that provides flexibility in organizing ideas. Its biggest strength is in letting me type and organize information around a subject that is complex. It has allowed me time and again to get my thoughts organized. I use this for all my important note taking including marking of important dates and planning activities around those. The tool has excellent search capabilities and retrieves items or files blazingly fast. The tool also has an iOs app which I use to retrieve my notes on the go.

Cons:

Not a lot to dislike about this tool, really! One minor gripe I have is that the team recently released a chrome extension that is supposed to clip snippets you come across online. This feature is still in its infancy stages as it does not allow you to append it to specific documents of your choice.

Simple and delivers what is expected

Very good! I have tried some similar ones before, but this is by far the best one.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

It is easy, we have only text ( for some kind of use this is enough -like to do notes). I like a lot the organization inside notes, subnores, folders. For the free version it delivers more than similar ones in Pro version

Cons:

Didnt find how to move several notes from one folder to the other. Not so easy to modify characters to bold or italic ( must put a sign to identify). It would have some APIs to open communication so the info could be stored there via other apps, emails etc. Besides that , it is a honest App and very useful daily

Reasons for switching to Dynalist

Limitations for monthly storage, Pro version too expensive

Best bullet style to-do app

My overall experience with Dynalist has been nothing but joy. I am not exaggerating when I say since I have started using Dynalist I am always happy when I write new to-do list or notes because I know that they will never get organized or messy. Dynalist's excellent system helps me to keep my notes organized all the time.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I have been using the bullet-style to-do apps as long as I can remember. I can surely say, without a doubt, Dynalist is the best one I have used so far. They have managed to merge both style and efficiency in one app. I have always kept my notes organized, however, ever since I have started to use Dynalist my productivity is on another level. I use it for all, I can take notes in university, I can keep a list and progress of my goals, I can even plan my next vacation.

Cons:

To be quite honest, it is very hard to find something wrong with Dynalist. However, I would like to have more colors or even custom color selection for highlighting special bullet points in a list. Though, I am almost certain developer team in Dynalist will implement this feature in no time.

Probably the best list management platform

Pros:

- Can be used for notes/lists/To-Dos, all at once - Sharing with other users - Export/Import

Cons:

Though sharing works, the way the sharing requests work, it's less evident that something was being shared until you check your email, instead of a share request right within the app itself.

Simple or Advanced and for everything

Easy to use. Very handy for planning and keeping information organized. I love the synchronization with Google Calendar, and I love all the features it has, and yet you can use it in a very simple version if you prefer. It's a product I use every day.

Pros:

I love that I can easily write my daily schedule and it automatically synchronizes with Google calendar. It's super easy to use (can you write a list?) but it can also be advanced if you want it to. I use it for my weekly/daily schedule, for important ULRs (to courses I'm following), for lists of ideas, todo lists, and more. It looks pretty, too. I love the simple user-interface.

Cons:

I don't like that if you add a checkbox to a list point, then you'll see both the point (dot) and the checkbox. I would love if it could be only the checkbox.

Dynalist

I LOVE this software. I use it for nearly everything. Journaling, notes, startups I'm following, ideas, Todo lists, etc. It's a fantastic service and the developers are so kind and care about their users. Workflowy was the first, but dynalist is by far the best. I'll be subscribing to pro as soon as I'm in a bit of a more stable financial situation, and I don't subscribe to anything! I'd like to mention too, that I'm not subscribing for more features. The free version offers anything you could possibly want from this software, I'm mostly subbing to support the devs. Great team, great software! Also it's accessable everywhere!!
