This app is brilliant at what it does. It has a deceptively simple control interface which works well on the touch sensitive screen of the I-pad. Other products use extensive menus to give the same capabilities which unfortunately includes the PC version 9 of this product. This makes it incredibly easy to use.
You can create a symbol(idea /fact) simply by tapping on the location you want to put it. The symbol presents itself as selected and shows icons to add a note, show/hide connected symbols, drag a connector out which creates a new symbol automatically. That’s all you need to create mind maps. In addition for flowcharts you can change the appearance of the symbol from a library of shapes.
Where the I-pad version falls down is that when you choose auto arrange, although the symbols are tidied up and moved, their notes are not. In very large complex diagrams this can be very annoying as there can be a vast distance between the symbol and its note; it can be many screens. The answer is not to auto arrange diagrams, but come on developers - fix this!
The app has recently changed hands so I had to buy it again to get updates - what updates.
In spite of everything the I-pad version is well worth the price and I would recommend it although the jury is out on the pc version I recently bought.
