I appreciate the help, but I donât think itâd work well. You shouldnât have to remember which environment youâre in (âoh Iâm on iPad Pro now, better use Cmd-Tabâ). And these are such common used shortcuts, we donât want users to feel like theyâre switching between Windows and Mac every time they switch between mobile and web.
I mean I think there ways to do it by working with the native layer, it just takes more time. In the meantime, weâd rather not have users getting used to an alternative only to change their habit again when we fix this.
Iâm also getting the âno document selectedâ error when I reopen the app after a while.
Or as I thought was happening: the app doesnât remember what document you last had open.
Happy to try some things too if you need. I love this app!
One extra detail. If I then try to manually open the last open document I was using, it wonât work. I have to select another of my documents first, then go back, and then select the one I was using.
The problem with one huge thread is that it is hard to know if something has already been posted or not. Apologies if this has already been covered, but I noticed some bugs with the menus:
So far the app looks somewhat decent for a non-native app, but I canât really see myself using any outlining app that doesnât have drag-and-drop organization. The âmove toâ menu just doesnât work the way I work. It seems to require that I remember the text of each section of the outline? Hopefully this will be fixed before the initial release?
I see. I had actually tried that, but it didnât work for me. Trying again I see that the problem is that the actual action is: tap and hold, wait for move item pop-up, then drag. The âwaitâ time is really too long so it seems like it isnât working. And sometimes it really isnât working. I have about 60% success getting this to work. (I can tell from the side that the bullet is being pressed because it gets a grey halo, but the pop-up never comes.)
Iâll test it some more and see under which cases itâs not working. It might have something to do with where you placed your finger in the first placeâŚ
Just for feedback, I find the âdragâ really difficult on an iPhone screen also! (App and web app both.). I usually donât bother, and wait until I go home to my desktop.
Iâm not sure how it can be fixed, but apps like âClearâ do this very well: you donât need to hit a bullet point, you can hit anywhere on the text. And sounds and 3D shading give you feedback that itâs all working.
Bug (?): I never have the Settings / Control / âUse bullet point to zoom inâ option checked. Yet Iâm always accidentally hitting the bullet point when I go to edit my text - or try to hit a checkbox - and Iâm constantly unwantedly zooming in.
Iâm honestly not a clutz, perhaps thereâs a different tapping style or calibration going on. But itâs something that makes using the app slow for me, as Iâm always tapping back to return back to the main document (and doing the same problem again and again before I can write or check anything).
(I think the bullets should really be able to be turned off as a zoom option to stop this.)
This happens on the web app too, so not sure if itâs a bug (or Iâm just not understanding if/what that setting does).
But in Clear does hitting the text start editing it right away? Or do you need to hit some special âEditâ button? This is a difference between Dynalist and many other todo list apps.
I guess we can make it that way in the Read Mode, but not in the default mode, as many people would press and hold the text to edit it.
@Erica Sorry if I post something here already posted in this long thread. My first practical test with IOS App was a shopping list with Checkboxes. This points wasnât optimal:
I could not check the boxes. Had to go over the Textmenu
When pressing enter after a checkbox a ânormalâ point without checkbox starts. Would be great if I press edit after a checkbox list a new checkbox list appears. This doesnât work in the OSX app neither.
After opening the file section it was hard for me to open a folder to see the inside documents. The little arrow is too small for my fingers
Iâd like to help test the IOS and Android beta apps. Iâm getting tired of flipping between Toodledo and Workflowy, and would like to switch, but mature mobile apps are critical.
I can test on primarily iPhone 6s, but also iPad Air, Nexus 7 and Nexus 5X.
