Leave a Review Muse
iPad at its most creative
I was about 75 cards into Muse before the light bulb went on: This is a game-changer! Finally, an app that views the iPad not as an iPhone or laptop, but as a unique tool for creative work. A board is a Tabula Rosa where you can place and move cards, drawings, other boards, etc. The interactions are visual and tactile using fingers, the pencil and the keyboard. It took me awhile to appreciate all of the design choices as I was coming from the usual Drafts/Bear/Roam/Notion/Notes world (yeah, finding the right notes app is a quest). Muse is truly different. Now, I use Muse for the creative stuff and Notes for more quotidian needs. I'm guessing that this is still early days for Muse and that it will add features like links in future releases. The subscription prices is much less than Roam's $180/year. Given the power of Muse, you could almost say it's a bargain.Show lessAndrew Anonymous
Useful
Got more out of this than the standard notes app. Needs search and more pencil tools. Otherwise greatJeeMDPhD
Game Changing App for Business and Life
The team at Muse have created an incredible product oriented toward creativity and organization. The app uniquely manages to combine a blank canvas with structural organization, in turn presenting an opportunity for unrestrained thought and productivity. Never before have I been more effective in terms of idea generation and project development than I have with Muse at my disposal. In addition, the founders behind Muse have been incredible to work with. Their ability to source feedback on the product (and most importantly, act upon it) has allowed them to take a game changing application and continually improve on it. With a dynamite product and a special team committed to improvement, Muse will only get better with time. I’ll be along for the journey, and am excited to see how this app will impact others in similar ways to what it has done for me.Show lessCGunn5
New look for notes etc
This app is so creative. A completely new way for organizing thoughts, notes, presentations... It is as if the iPad were designed with this app in mind. It is so fast and responsive. Highly recommenced...
Oh yes, there is room for improvement :). Straight lines, I love to be able to draw straight lines. Maybe even with arrowheads.
And maybe a monthly payment plan :)
Thanks for a new, creative way of working!Show lessMonty 3.1459
Spatial Notes and Organization FTW
Like many, the linear aspects of most note taking apps is fine for a bit, but doesn’t allow for enough depth once thoughts really start swirling. Having had a chance to use Muse for many months, I’m happy with the more spatial/layered flow to notes and content which makes it thru this app.
Downsides have been minor (syncing between multiple iPads, some layout issues which various updates have solved), the upsides have been more than solid.
This isn’t a collaborative notes app. Muse is much more geared for ideation and contemplation. To that end, it’s so focused that when it’s compared to others it seems to fall short. Yet, that that focus which makes it perfect for depth and space. Between the gestures, required Pencil aspect, and the light UI iterations, you don’t feel it’s expanding beyond your scope of use.
Muse might not be for everyone (a friend puts Notion on the opposite end, another Mural/Miro). But, for whom it clicks, Muse nails this quite well. Recommended for sure. But, do the trial first... it will help you focus on what you need best from a notes app.Show lessARJWright
Completes IPad workflow with direct outlet for creativity
Muse, completes the iPad workflow—it’s an open space that allows one to bring together, photos, drawing, sketching, and typed text into an awesome visualizer. It is so much fun to use and see ideas go directly from your brain to your iPad in a visual, shareable way.
My handwriting is terrible, so the text tool keeps things clean but there is just enough capabilities of the Apple Pencil to connect the dots from your head to the screen.Show lessJetryToniD
