OmniFocus on the iPad is my favourite iPad app. While I use the OS X version on my MBP for brain dumps, I tend to use the iPad version while I’m actually “getting things done” as the Forecast view reduces my focus on the tool and increases it on the tasks at hand.

Yes! Omnifocus has change the way i work and what I am wourth for my employeer! I have never had as many tasked sign to me, but i get them done, because omnifocus sorts and reminds me when i tell it to. When I can add several contexts, add estimated time and itegrate with omniplan it will be the biggest thing happening to productivity since the the invetion of project.
Also an email option without a omnifocus layout would help me out!
Its great!!!!! I love it:)

I tried a lot ToDo apps, online aps, win, mac apps… But omnifocus for iPad and its GUI is something from the future. It is the BEST designed app in the App store. Using OF for iPad is incredible experience! And for me it is the only app that helps me a lot with my task, and I am loving to use it every day! Please give me the same experience to my iPhone and Mac! Denis

I tried Omnigraffle for iPad, because I was looking for a tool to draws web applications sketches.
I’m not a professional designer. I’m not good in drawing. It is incredible how easy is working with Omnigraffle. I’ve designed everything, even icons. I used tablet pc since 2007, but the experience of drawing with Omnigraffle on the iPad is indescribable.

Omnifocus is invaluable because it’s on all of my devices. I didn’t get it for my Mac until the iPad release was imminent and am extremely happy with the implementation.

Omnigraffle is handy but hasn’t really made it into my iPad daily usage at work, but that’s just the nature of my job.

Yes it has. I now have a good control of all my projects and tasks with Omnifocus. I have it on my mac and iPad. I integrated it with my iCal and sync through iDisk. I am up to date on all my devices with that calender notification.

I downloaded the OmniPlan today for mac. I am waiting for your application for iPad for this, and also for a integration of Omnifocus and Omniplan.

I’m a first year law student, and a father of two. As such, my ability to manage my time and keep track of assignments is nonexistent. OmniFocus for the ipad maintains my executive functions so I can focus on getting the work done instead of when it’s due. Additionally, I use OmniGraffle as an extension of the desktop app to keep my contract and murder flow-charts close at hand.

I was skeptical about your products in terms of a cost to benefit ratio, having purchased expensive applications that promise the world but are too clumsy and difficult to use. You have created two elegant and simple applications that require only a minimal initial investment of time.

I would not be a competitive law student without your products and I will buy OmniOutline iPad day one.

I use the Omni apps extensively on my Mac, so it’s great that they are arriving on the iPad. Omni Outliner is my most-used app on the Mac, so I’m looking forward to the iPad version. I work as a turnaround CEO and I’m finding that I use the iPad for keeping my business life organised. I still tend to use the Mac for Omni Graffle and Omni Plan, as these benefit from the more granular user interface and keyboard. I hope that Omni Outliner iPad has cloud sync when it arrives - this is critical to a multi device environment - without this I tend to just use one device, which reduces that value. Keep up the great work! Giles

I manage aerospace projects, and Windows still rules that world. However, with the iPad came the need for professional software, and this is how I discovered, and fell in love with, the products from Omni. They just stand head and shoulders above other iPad productivity products.

At any time, I have multiple projects ongoing that I manage, with distinct teams per project. OmniFocus has made it far easier to ensure that the little to-do’s get done. I love the Forecase view, and the way I can enter tasks on my iPad and automatically have them on my iPhone too.

I also love OmniGraffle for iPad for drawing technical concepts, principles and ideas no matter where I am, and sharing these concepts with the teams. In my view, there are some obvious improvements that could be made to this product (notably taking advantage of multi-touch better, why can’t I touch two or more objects and get the option to connect, align, or equal the size of the boxes, or distribute evenly etc). But it is already an incredibly handy and useful program that I often prefer over Visio.

But I’ve been waiting for OmniPlan for iPad for a seemingly very long time.

I was using OmniGraffle Pro for so many years and very happy when the iPad App was released. It’s really awesome! I can edit OmniGraffle documents on my Desktop Mac and synchronize these files to my iPad. I can show it to my customers and edit while sitting in the train. It has changed the way I work dramatically. Hope that new features will be released.
