Pros
Pro Outline-style hierarchy with zoom
Any sublist can be viewed as a top-level list. This sounds simple but makes WorkFlowy extremely powerful. For example, the same line item "write my book" can simultaneously be a to-do in my task list and the container for my entire working document.
Pro Easy to overview and organize notes
All notes are part of a list, which makes it easy to organize everything. Nested lists allow for organizing notes into hierarchical categories of infinite depth. All lists can also be folded. Furthermore, WorkFlowy has tags and instant full-text search, which allows it to be a good Evernote alternative.
Pro Tasks can be added and manipulated quickly
WorkFlowy lets the user enter several tasks very quickly. This is especially useful for meeting minutes or a "brain dump" when you have to type fast. After typing in all your thoughts, it's very easy to then organize and sort multiple groups at once.
Cons
Con Pasted URLs are kept as-is
When you have to link to a website for instance, you can't attach the URL of the site to a word. Instead, you have to post the full URL. You can't have, for example, [Slant](http://slant.co) showing up as Slant: you instead have to post http://slant.co
. It's especially annoying if you have a long URL that takes up a lot of space in the document.
Con Offline desktop app requires Chrome
The offline desktop requires installing Google Chrome first before the WorkFlowy app can be installed. This is not good news for non-Chrome users, especially those who frequently use Firefox or Safari as their default browsers. The Chrome app also suffers memory leak and battery issues.
