When you launch the app, you are greeted with a Getting Started notebook. Below it are three buttons to open a OneNote notebook from Dropbox or iTunes, create a new notebook, and access settings for the app. Tap to open a notebook, or long tap to access tabs to adjust its appearance, share it via Dropbox, export it to iTunes, or delete it. Outline+ supports OneNote; you can sync your notebooks via OneNote on your PC and those created in Outline+ via Dropbox, or you can transfer notebooks via iTunes when you sync your iPad with your PC.When you open a notebook to view or write a note, the sections of that notebook are represented by tabs along the top. Simply tap the + to create a new section. The various notes in a section run down the left side of the page. Tap the + button at the bottom of the notes column to add a new note. At the top of this column are buttons to view your favorite notes, view recent pages, and search.

Four buttons along a note's right edge let you view the note in full-screen, mark it as a favorite, insert an image, or snap a picture to insert.When writing, Outline+ uses the standard iPad keyboard, but a row of formatting options appears at the top of your page. You can hide this row or use it to create headings, format text, and create bulleted or numbered lists.
