Can't export my lists

Today I tried to download workflowy into my backups, and the list won't download.

First time I've ever had this problem.

I'm using a Chromebook with Workflowy Android app installed (not the web app, but the actual Android app from Play Store.)  Clicked on Export then when clicking on "download list" nothing happens.

I also use Workflowy app on an iPhone, and I realize the iOS app was updated to V.2 and the version on the Chromebook is the original. So not sure if that has something to do with it.

Thank you for your help.

Workflowy is amazing!

    Hi Amanda,

    Sorry for our delayed reply time to this issue. Are you still having trouble with this?

    We haven't yet built export functionality for iOS or Android apps. We do have that working for Desktop and Browser versions of WorkFlowy. Are you able to export successfully from those?

    If we can assist further, please write to help@workflowy.com

    I have this issue too. When will you be adding export functionality to the new app? It used to work in the old version of the app, right? Before you threw it out and started with a new version? 

    Without export functionality, the workflowy iOS app is pretty useless. I can't share or email my list or import them into my notes app to revise beyond the limitations of the app. Please fix this. I've been a workflowy customer for a long time but the product has gotten worse, not better.

    Sorry for your frustration, Justin. With such a small development team (3 people) we have to make hard choices on where to put our efforts. We very much want to bring back export to the mobile app (along with duplicate and share, other functions we also had in the previous version). It's on our lists and I'll update you when we get the bandwidth to tackle it. At the moment we are focused on visual improvements of the web version and collaboration/sharing enhancements.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Can you please add support for the Chromebook OS? I see this has been on WF's feature request board for at least 3 years. These Chromebooks are selling like hotcakes! And, aside from WF issue - I love my Pixelbook!

    We finally built Duplicate/Export/Share on Mobile!

    (Sorry, David, still need to fix up the Chromebooks! I'll keep you posted)
