Back to Workflowy from Dynalist

I used Workflowy for a few years and it was my goto app. I then switched to Dynalist for the last year and hardly use it at all. I’m now returning to Workflowy.

I think the main reason for my switch back is that dynalist on an iPad Pro is woeful. As this is my mobile tool it creates a lot of friction. I’ve also come to realise that I don’t use the wiki-links, or attach files much. The dates option is more problematic than useful as dated things usually need export, which is another major problem for me with Dynalist. I also found the line change from normal to edit mode extremely annoying when editing a lot of entries.

In the end I miss the simplicity of Workflowy. That’s why I used it so much. My calendar does diary, my files are in icloud. I just need a good plain text notebook.

Would appreciate any thoughts on others who have used both.
