Favored Android PIM App?
1/17/2020
Pimlical is a calendar on steroids. It's very powerful (Palm enthusiasts will recall DateBk6, the best calendar app ever made. It's the same developer).
However, I only use it to back up my Google Ca...

While describing the speed of WorkFlowy's development as 'snail's pace' would be unfair to snails, there have been a few improvements recently, though none of these are revolutionary:

I haven't tried Milanote, but after playing a bit with Plectica, I'm extremely impressed.

Dynalist Pro 50% off promotion
12/21/2019
The full price is double of the WorkFlowy Pro subscription.
But is it doubly as good as WorkFlowy?
I wish I could have both, and at $48 I would be willing, but paying $48 + $96 just feels too much.

There used to be a WorkFlowy Chrome app in the Chrome Web Store that would also work offline (as long as you had Chrome installed on your machine).
It looks like it's been discontinued but it is stil...

This might not be sophisticated enough for your needs, but I just realised that Google Tasks also show up as a Google Calendar, so in this sense it 'syncs.'
Apparently Dynalist Pro has some form of Google Cal sync, but I'm not sure if it's two-way and how well it works:

If you're after simplicity, how about Google Keep? A 'card' does have two levels of hierarchy, are easy to rearrange, and it's multi-platform and has auto-sync.
Otherwise WorkFlowy and Dynalist also ...
