Timing of OmniOutliner 4
 

Derek - When will OmniOutliner 4 be available? If I purchase OO3 now, will I have to purchase a full version of OO4? Or pay for just an upgrade?

Thanks very much.

There will certainly be upgrade pricing. We'll release more information when the time comes.

Well ... OO 3 already has this ...

OO4 beta
 

Derek, thrilled to hear OO 4 for desktop and laptop machines are coming been waiting for years. Can I beta test, I was beta for OO 2 and 3. Really hope OO 4 will have feature that check mark removes from view.

Do you have eta for launch?

Please let me know

It's been three weeks since it was last asked: when is OO4 coming out? And when for the iPad?

Silence speaks volumes around this place. I'm guessing that OO4 is a low priority dollar wise due to the popularity of OF, OGS, and OG.

Software takes time. How much time can be hard to predict. Posting guesses takes time away from the projects we're working on, and has a downside if we guess wrong.

I promise you we're working hard to get everything out the door as quickly as we can without compromising quality and that we'll say more when we know more. And please don't assume that the order things ship in indicates priority - when you have five products on two OSes and three hardware platforms, there are a lot of factors in play.

And remember, because the App Store doesn't do pre-orders, they can't collect your money until they have something to ship, and so they've got motivation to deliver :-)

Thanks for responding. I don't expect a response to this but I just wanted to say that if you have a product that butters your bread, you obviously bring that product to the forefront and have it updated fairly often. This has not been the case for OmniOutliner.

I understand the multiple line of products on multiple operating systems. I appreciate you all bringing them to my iPad and iPhone as well. I should not assume, but to say that priorities such as best seller or most profitable are not involved when doing updates does not compute.

OF is a great example of this. I am sure it is a big seller and has a lot of people in that forum that are active. You are in business to make money and this makes the most sense but if Apple released the next big iDevice tomorrow as big or larger than the iPad and it required a rewrite for that OS because of UI and or other changes, OF would get done and OO would get pushed back. It is as simple as that.

That is the frustration us as OO users experience but we understand that is how business works. It can be frustrating at times from both ends. I would settle for a "September-ish" type expectation. On the flip side, a deadline or hard date is a looming weight you don't want to have over you. I just believe after nearly five years most in this forum are getting frustrated. Sorry to have aggravated.
