Ratings and reviews

This used to be a 5-star app for me but it seems there was an update sometime in the last few weeks that slowed things down. It no longer appears as a simple pop-up with cursor ready to type, and with an option to send and close. Now there are 2-3x more taps to enter a simple note and get back to the app you were last using. Additionally, the app often takes 3-4 seconds to open on my 3-month old pixel 3a, whereas the previous version seemed to load in a fraction of a second. EDIT: Oh wow, thanks for the prompt reply, Louis! I didn't even realize the long-press on an app for launch options was an android feature. I think if you could make that more obvious from the main app, that would be helpful. The 'Quick Dialog' does indeed load very quickly, which is all I care about.

One of the best apps I've used. The system integration is superbly implemented, with the extremely convenient "add to inbox" action for text selections, and the "quick add" widget that works perfectly when invoked and gets out of the way afterwards. I actually use this app quite a bit more than Dynalist itself! Very highly recommended.

Dynalist is designed with a textual interface that is meant to use the keyboard for input. The Dynalist app makes it usable on mobile devices by adding buttons for the keyboard functions but certain things like drag and drop reordering of list items are difficult and require you to press and hold on a tiny bullet point. This is an area where Quick Dynalist excels. It allows for drag and drop reordering by pressing on the individual line item. It also adds the ability to view a list as a widget on the home screen. Quick Dynalist is lacking in it's inability to delete list items though, which is a major flaw. This can be worked around by converting lists to checklists, but it is not always the desired functionality. Also, checklist functionality is not available in the widget. One final note, it would be nice if the list widget allowed for a transparent background rather than a giant grey block so your desktop background could show through. Overall, a really nice app that adds missing functionality to Dynalist.
