I am over this outliner, I tell ya!!! There’s always a bug or some sort of issue. However my main issue with OmniOutliner is it’s downright terrible performance.

1. Bugs and issues
I recall the app having sorting problems… imagine having thousands of rows in deep level containers!!! The saved filters almost never work and when they do they eventually break; imagine classifying your document for all this time only to have your entire classification system disappear…ridiculous.
- Loading time madness
no need for explanation here…
- More Feature issues
Expanding rows in a larger projects will render your app unresponsive or make it impossible to scroll without long temporary freezes.
- The worst one of all
Every time I move to another application on my iMac and return to OmniOutliner I get the mac ballon spinning delay wheel thing; every single time. This drives me completely insane!!! Go to a web browser, do some research, come back to Omni and wait for color wheel to spin and spin and spin. Every time you leave this app and come back to it feels like needing to punch someone in the face.
This is a toy tool and needs to be presented as such. It cannot handle anything serious. Omni Group needs to stop developing new features and seriously consider focusing on fixing they already have. I’m deserting their product and never ever coming back. The frustration, the slow workflow and the amount of times they’ve corrupted my work…I’VE HAD IT!!
