"Easy notetaking and organizing"
What do you like best about Workflowy?

I love the ease of creating, moving, and finding content in Workflowy. I also love the ability to easily share individual nodes or pages to summarize notes or action items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

I don't dislike anything, but there are a few features I wish were included:

1. A "collapse all" command to clean up everything.

2. A few more "pro" themes, similar to the number of dark themes that Obsidian has available.

3. The ability to forward an email to workflowy to create a task Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workflowy Keeps me On Track and is Simple to Use"
What do you like best about Workflowy?

It's free and extremely simple to use. I use it to plan out launches, keep my business projects running smoothly, and keep track of what I need to do on a daily and weekly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

Sometimes the interface is a bit clunky and moving items within a task is challenging. Otherwise, I love this tool for what it is...a simple, no-frills way to organize my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for note-taking, but other options may be slightly better."
What do you like best about Workflowy?

I love the very fast note-taking capabilities. The bullet list structure with sub-lists is incredibly useful for the way I take notes, and the ability to view a sub-list in a separate window is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

I would prefer to have more options for formatting, such as larger headings or other styling options to differentiate notes. You also only have one file that all notes are taken in, which may not be preferable for some people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazingly flexible"
What do you like best about Workflowy?

I like how amazingly flexible and powerful Workflowy is. I started using it just for its outlining capabilities – which are great. But the more I use Workflowy, the more I realize the many more things it can handle, and handle well. Fast, reliable, and just really well designed. Also, new features always seem to be judiciously chosen and well implemented – keeps getting better and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

The one thing Workflowy is missing for me is share-sheet functionality on iOS. That would be a really powerful addition because it would make it so much faster and easier to throw stuff into Workflowy from my phone and iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and absolutely genius innovation by combining note taking & hyperlinking"
What do you like best about Workflowy?

The fact that it has no excess frills or unnecessary features! This is so so so rare and I love it. There is no app anywhere like this that combines the tedious task of taking notes with the time consuming task of organizing and finding your way back to this or that particular piece of information without any distractions and without the complication of other apps--like One Note and Evernote which I like very much still but it's way more complicated and lengthy to navigate. Workflowy achieves this by its ingenious pairing of bullet pointing and hyperlinks. Simple absolutely genius. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

The fact that more people don't know about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workflowy review"
What do you like best about Workflowy?

I like the organization of tasks that I can have, a minimalist to-do list and which I can take my results with few clicks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

The biggest problem is that workflowy only remains as a to-do list, while there are other platforms that have greater integrations and great content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helped me organize my entire life and businesses"
What do you like best about Workflowy?

I'm a very creative and organized person. This causes a lot of issues for me when using typical productivity tools, as I end up wasting a lot of time on re-organizing my dashboards.

The simplicity and power of Workflowy allow me to make these re-organizations extremely fast, keeping me productive and creative at the same time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

There's no way to suggest improvements or new features.

I wish there was a way to easily contact and engage with the team (as a paying customer). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best to do list app for personal & professional use"
What do you like best about Workflowy?

I have been using WorkFlowy for past 1.5 Years and it has been really good experience as i am able to make notes and take MOM on it and share it with team members. Also, i have privileges if i want them to edit the notes or not. There are short cuts which can make work easy and they all are provided in the right side bar of the page. It can also be installed on system or can be opened in chrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

As such nothing much there to dislike. Because it's a very simple tool, there purpose is being filled by making it easy for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workflowy?

I wish there were colors, or that I could drop in emojis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workflowy?

Easy, cross-platform tool to quickly taking structural notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's as perfect as it is. I cannot mention any dislikes. Better export to word-processing would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
