Workflowy review: Take a Note Of It
Today we are all packed up with loads of work. At times it is almost like solving out a tricky puzzle. Few Apps are now ready to help you with their simple solutions. Workflowy is a note-making app which claims to make your work done in a smooth flow. Check out whether it can really help you out.
What is Workflowy
When things have to be done and we are at a loss on thinking what to do next, we tend to forget things. At the end of the day we are amidst the mess of not meeting deadlines because of not getting reminders on time regarding the upcoming deadlines.
But to keep you out of this embarrassment and the grudging consequences of being late, there are some solutions out in the market today that do this prompting job well. A To-Do List, which will control the flow of work you need to do badly. With a relevant name and boasting features Workflowy may knock your needs. 
The Key Features
The Shooting Bullets
To start working with Workflowy, you simply have to type on the screen. Once you enter a new text, it will turn into a bullet point. Now it is all easy to add more bullets, divide them into sub-bullets for those nested items, or simply as a note, which will appear just below an attached item with a slightly different font.Categorize
In the flow of completing tasks, you can mark those entries under different categories like Complete, Share, Duplicate and Export. Erase out those tasks which are either no more relevant or you have changed your mind on it by deleting that item. All these can be done by simply accessing a mini menu that appears by clicking on a bullet, or you can also do these through keyboard shortcuts. Click on a bullet which opens to the top level of the existing page, it will be similar as opening up folders and subfolders which we are habituated in most operating systems. There is a path indicated at the top which leads you back. 
How Workflowy Acts
If you want to test the app, create two primary sections to start off, for instance one can be 'Work' and the other 'Personal'. Then add texts to create the to-do-list under each section and then you are all set.The Smart Shortkeys
The keyboard shortcuts in this program are also integrated into the Web app which can be displayed in a sidebar at any time but that never creates any obstacle in the view. You can go marking your tasks as and when they get completed by keying Ctrl + Enter as an alternative shortcut for looking up at the menu options.Drag and Drop
There are options of dragging just anything right up or down whenever you are in the need of rearranging the order of tasks. That though may create a visual confusion at times, still it works fine in most cases.Enjoy the Freemium
Workflowy can be signed up for free, but the free version has some limitations in its features. It will allow only 500 lists or "items" in a month, you can make two choices for the typeface a generic serif and sans serif, but you won't get any option for background themes, nor would you get any connectivity with the other services.
Go Pro
The Pro accounts are backed up to the Dropbox option, allowing an unlimited number of lists, and also with a range of options listed under themes and typefaces. You get two kinds of pro accounts: one for the Individual which costs $4.99 per month or $49 per year and the other for the Organizations which they call 'Team' costing you $3.99 per month for every user, or $39 per year, with a minimum of two users. The Team accounts also come along with support for collaborative editing.Workflowy's Work Flow
The design of the Workflowy Web app is quite appealing and easy to use. It works at speed and responds quickly. Its simple yet elegant interface makes the new users feel attracted and they would love the app for its 'ready to use' get up . One of its primary intended purposes being to be able to create a to-do list or say working as a task-management app, it would also work well as judging what else has to be included if it adds features like due dates, reminders, and also a clear calendar view. Synchronization
The best thing of this app is that its work list synchronizes seamlessly with your home and work computers, as well as your iPhone and iPad.
Pros
It is a Sleek and simple list-creating app which works excellently during its implementation of the nested lists. It works fast, responds well and is Web-based. You can use it under the Freemium scheme to try it out.Cons
The only drawback that comes in the way of it becoming a complete app is that there are no Options like Deadlines, Due Dates Or Calendar Integration. There are also no offline capabilities as of now. You need to have the Pro account to access the Dropbox backup and password protection facilities.The Bottom Line
Workflowy, as a note making and reminder app is quite a handy and cute product. It is a Web-based app ideal for making quick nested lists. Combining both simplicity along with an interactive design, it has a number of possibilities for enhancing its usage which would provide the app a must-have label, if upgraded early. Till then, Workflowy can be said to be poised with only a basic set of functionalities.
