Awesome, @kcase!
Understanding that things can change, is there a consolidated view of roadmap items publicly announced? i.e. 2.4 and 2.5 for iPhone, 2.1 for Mac, 2.1 for iPad? It would be cool to better understand what’s on plan already to avoid feature requests, etc.
Thanks!

10 days and it hasn’t been approved yet?
For now I’m using “ForceGoodFit” on a jailbroken iphone 6 and it works perfectly, haven’t noticed any bugs and gets the proper resolution.
2.3.2 is out. Using on a 6+.
Am I missing something? I’m not sure I see any difference. I admit, I primarily use OF on my Mac and iPad. iPhone is more for reference due to OF limitations in the iPhone app. But I used it a few times before todays upgrade.
Can you post a change log?
I would be curious how many of those articles are based on speculation and actual use.
The 6+ is nice!!! I had high hopes of the 6+ replacing my iPad prior to getting it!!!
I won’t be getting rid of my iPad anytime soon!!! If anything, I’m thinking of returning the 6+. The size comes at a premium price, and I’m just not seeing that much advantage yet. Maybe things will improve if/when more developers support it as a small tablet instead of a large phone.
Ken Case did say in a post above that they are squashing bugs right now and will continue to do so in version 2.4. No interface changes yet. I’d rather have a stable OmniFocus first and then build on that. Maybe version 2.5 will have new UI changes?
I’m still holding on to the iPad as well.
Ken @kcase, any chances OF on iPhone 6 will have the key features of iPad version (hierarchical view, drag-n-drop, review, what else?)
I’m fine with extra charge for that. Looks like in iPhone-vs-iPad Mini dilemma, iPhone 6 will win for being accessible much more of the time than Mini–provided that it will give nearly equal functionality.
Crossing my fingers but it does look like good news with version 2.5
Here’s the quote that caught my attention:
[quote]But it is possible for a lot of things, and it’s certainly where we’ve been headed for the last several years. For example, the Forecast and Review started out on iPad, then Forecast made its way to iPhone and Mac, and now Review has made its way to Mac and is coming to iPhone. Perspectives started out on Mac, then made their way to iPhone and iPad in a limited way, and are now fully available on iPad and will soon be fully available on iPhone as well.

No ETA yet, but I still think this recent blog post will make folks reading this thread happy. For the TLDR crowd: all of our iPad apps will be coming to the iPhone, including OmniFocus. We haven’t figured out all of the details yet, but we are ready to start talking about the broad strokes.
Its sad that OF does’nt have a landscape view neither does it take advantage of 6+ screen size. Most of the popular todo apps have a 6+ optimized landscape mode. Please implement the enhancements.
could you share with us which ones have the 6 Plus landscape mode? I’d like to peek at them.
It’s just a matter of time. Omni already had a full slate of bug fixes and feature requests already.
2Do is one such app which has an ipad like layout in 6+.
Nothing more frustrating to not be able to get the most productivity out of my favorite productivity app that I’ve invested hundreds of dollars and years of use into. I’ve replaced my iPad mini with a 6+ and though there have been a lot of pros, OmniFocus has been a huge con in this transition.
Please support your power users and add the following features on iPhone 6+ so I can continue to support OmniFocus:
Thank you,
Tyler
Read my previous post as seen above.
These features are coming. Here is the original post from The Big Guy about this matter.
The 6 plus is a great device but I’m gonna stick to my iPad mini. The 6 plus was just too small to be working in programs like IThoughts, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. OmniFocus is staying on my iPad mini.
all of our iPad apps will be coming to the iPhone, including OmniFocus
Brian, is there any understanding on which of iPad OF features are very likely to become available on iPhone6 as well, and which are quite unlikely as of now?
Is there a more recent post updating on features for iPhone6(S) Plus, either already implemented or seriously considered for the near future?
Things have changed a lot in the year since your last post because we made OmniFocus for iOS a Universal app. There are no longer any differences in features based on which iOS device you’re running OmniFocus on—in particular, you can now create and edit perspectives and do a review on the iPhone (previously not possible).
We do show information differently depending on the device, including offering a sidebar in landscape on iPhone 6 Plus.
Thanks for a prompt reply, dave.
So what I am essentially asking is: is “sidebar in a landscape” the only difference between how OF2 works on iPhone 6 vs 6 Plus?
And a second thing, sort of my underlying reason for asking: do I understand correctly that on any iPhone, latest OF2 still shows hierarchy of (sub)tasks within a project as nested screens, one screen per level – rather than showing a full tree with indented sub-branches, as it works on iPad?
Yes, that is correct.
Dave, any strong reasoning against that–or it’s just a matter of priority (compared to other changes) and amount of “votes” from users asking for such a thing?
There are some technical limitations on what we can do based on rotation—we would have to adopt the same hierarchy view in both landscape and portrait. Other than that, it’s just a matter of balancing customer requests with what we feel is the best user experience for most people—just like everything else we do.
