User Reviews

Dynalist is loved as a simple, powerful outliner with strong cross-device syncing and fast performance. However, users repeatedly report stability issues (freezes, crashes), concerns about long-term support and updates, login problems, and mobile/UX gaps (non-native feel, missing features like mind maps). Data-large document performance and reliability also come up. Overall, it’s a trusted “second brain” for many, but reliability and active updates remain persistent drawbacks.

Pros

Simple and straightforward, yet powerful outline-based organization.
Excellent cross-device syncing between desktop and iOS.
Fast, lightweight, and responsive performance.
Rich outlining features: hierarchical/nested lists, folders, multiple documents, and easy item movement.
Trusted as a long-running, 'second brain' productivity tool with a clean design.

Cons

Stability and performance issues: freezes, crashes, white screen when typing, slow responsiveness on iOS.
Perceived abandonment / lack of ongoing updates and support for years.
Login/Auth friction or sign-in failures (third-party or direct) blocking access.
Not native on iOS and missing mobile features (mind map editing, WYSIWYG, etc.), plus occasional UX quirks like auto-hiding panels and slow search.
Data/storage concerns on large documents (memory issues, hangs, not built for heavy data) and unreliable saves.

App freezes and blinds me with a pure white screen when I initially try to enter text. Have to close out the app but sometimes it happens twice in a row. Very annoying. Loved this app before. This issue only happens with this app.
