Super quick review. I love it. I think I would rather use this almost as much as the desktop app. Forecast is great, jump to the project (need to drop the dialog to confirm) very well done. No crashes thus far

I agree. After seeing some of the moaning about the UI upon installing it I was surprised how close to perfect it was, and how CAPABLE. Makes the iphone app look handicapped. Couldnt get the bookmarklet to work but otherwise 9.5/10. Inspiring, straight on my favourites on the dock.

Maybe I am missing something but it seems incredibly awkward when trying to indent items or add items to a list. And moving items around is no easy task either. Am I missing am easier step? Why is it so hard to make am outline under a project ?

That's a bit (a lot?) cumbersome. Use Contact Omni in the gear menu to submit your vote for drag-and-drop indenting.

In fact, I like the iPad UI (not just the looks, but the workflow) better than the OmniFocus for Mac UI.

Unfortunately, I don't like it, but maybe I am using it wrongly. It is slow, and most of the time, it displays too much at once. A "Focus" mode like in Appigo's Todo is missing where you can configure a view with the tasks that are due in the next 7 days or so. The forecast mode in Omnifocus is similar, but I would have to go through each day to see the items instead of everything at once ordered by day. This is just not practical for me. You display all projects and the next item while the next item is some project might be due in the next few months and leave out the tasks that might be due tomorrow if there is some other task before it. I rather want to have displayed the next view items that are due at once. And something else - why do you even waste my precious display space with empty project entries where there are no next actions. This is completely useless!

Overall, i'm very impressed with the look and feel of the app.
My only issue is with the handling of notes. While i see that it includes a brief preview of the note on the same line as a task, i also notice that if a task takes more than the single line there's no indication that there's a note attached. Perhaps a small note icon after the ellipses?
