Android moves pretty fast, and something that was last updated in 2013 is likely to not play well with a phone on Oreo (such as mine). I could be surprised, I suppose. I want as conflict-free a setup as possible, with good resolution of conflicts when they do occur. MobileOrg seems to be good at this, just from reading the manual. I'm not convinced that, say, Orgzly would be. The other is that there is a lack of support for encryption. It is not an absolute requirement for me, but is certainly very much a "nice to have". Storing unencrypted stuff on a server is not really ideal. (None of the other mobile clients save MobileOrg for iOS seem to have this feature either.) > For instance, I have recently started playing with org-dropbox [1] for > capturing notes from an Android device.
