With the exception of #'s 1, 6, 11 and 12 MLO should match up. Re #1, MLO has this Rapid Task Entry box which works decently well on the PC app (though could be much improved imo). On Android there's no analog except for some sort of widget but these also leave something to be desired. On iOS there's no choice but to fully launch the app and go on. It's perhaps faster than some other apps but it's far from as fast or efficient as apps I've used in the past. To much clicking and moving about.
#6 should be achievable (or some variation thereof) with some tweaking/customizing of the autoformat rules. It may take some doing to get right but you should be able to find a happy place. #11 MLO has stated to some extent what security or encryption they may use but nothing solid that I can point to. You'll have to take them at their word that the transport encryption they use is solid and well implemented. I don't believe there is any local encryption of the MLO file(s) #12 Spend an hour or too reading through this forum/board and see how many requests are open, long standing, repeats etc. Then note how often the devs feel compelled to respond. Then note which items the devs DO feel compelled to respond to. Responsiveness is NOT their middle name. So much so I've pretty much given up on reporting or asking for anything. It just feels like a waste of time. There is a User Voice community but that too is disheveled and an apparent waste of time as decent feature requests get lost in a barrage of ME TOO's to overarching requests like "iPad app!". There is no one curating the User Voice so it's just a free for all and useless imho. There is [apparently] a Jira bug tracker but that is not for the unwashed masses. You'll have to get selected to be a member of the beta team (which apparently requires quite a bit of involvement - 4+ hrs a week at last check) to have access. The rest of get to wait with baited breath. The devs do NOT share timelines, dev milestones, roadmaps/future plans nor anything else till it's released. Recently, in the face of MANY MANY requests they caved and produced a few screenshots of the coming 2.0 Android app. It looks just like the iOS 2.0 app and it took much much much too long to get that little bit out. If responsive dev is important to you this might be a deal breaker. It should've been to me but I rushed into my purchase and now I'll just live with it. With any luck this dev team will get with the 21st century at some point. Then again I'm no longer holding my breath. J.
