Great app wish it had hover
Awesome app that runs way smooth and has tons of didn’t know you needed features like cutting pages from a pdf. The ability to copy and import text is also nice for keywords! Just wish it had a couple “drawing” type features like Apple Pencil hover preview of your stroke
A powerful canvas for ideas!
Ahmni is an incredible combination of note-taking, mind mapping, and an infinite canvas. The endless zoom makes it easy to organize ideas spatially, while Apple Pencil support feels natural and precise. I love being able to freely arrange handwritten notes, diagrams, and concepts without being restricted to a traditional page. The customization options, smooth performance, learning-focused features, and thoughtful design make it useful for both studying and serious research. It’s powerful without feeling bloated, and the more I use it, the more useful features I discover. Easily one of the best iPad apps I’ve found.

Worst app ever
so good!!
This app is really cool. It has lots of features and is good for almost anything. It’s also really good for infinite drawing,of course
If only laso was free
Bro just make it free
I have tried about 20 note taking apps and this is the best
Okay so what do you need a notetaking app to be? It needs to serve as your canvas as your mind map when you’re right it needs to not be lagging. It needs to have colours that are soothing to the eyes and easy of use is if you’re not distracting but most importantly and I’m I emphasise on this that it doesn’t lag and your palm taking is good. Your palm detection is good. I have literally tried every known app that is in the App Store for my five years as a pharmacy student and this I’m so glad that I’m trying this right now. It fits every criteria that I ever wanted and the infinite canvas is amazing literally you guys done an amazing job and amazing amazing amazing job good job and I’m I’m literally surprised that it’s you get so much as a free user.

I can’t select objects unless I pay
.
This is the best app ever
I love this app I can draw without paying I love this it’s the best app I have ever used
Crashing more often
Overall the product is good. Has great features most infinite canvas apps are lacking. This is truly an infinite broad but lately the app has been crashing multiple times while using which is very distracting to the work flow. However all of your work is saved automatically so you can just reopen but after 3 times in under 2 hours it’s annoying

Response from developer
Hey Reese, reach out to me on Discord or support@ahmni.app so I can investigate.
Simply Great
Just stumbled across this and thought I’d give it a go … really good app with some great calm supporting YT videos.
All too often apps get bloaty … Ahmni is not at all bloaty and has a really solid basic set of tools that work really well together. The infinite zoom works perfectly and combined with zoom options and bookmarks is almost perfect for catching, thinking and exploring
It would be nice to be able to paste markdown text blocks in a similar manner to pdfs and also some form of iPhone viewer would be good for referring to iPad sessions when out and about .. but really the app is great regardless .. so 5* and a subscription from me !

Still mapping away
One year anniversary for me, connected a second account. Happy to pay
Fav note taker
I love this apps and it’s amazing features it’s like it knew what I wanted in a note taking app. I’m currently in college and I have so much notes to take. I would use good notes before but I realized after so many countless pages I never would look back on my notes. The white board esk feature this app has- has made my note taking experience so much better! And I like how it writes very clean and precise. I can write and write and never get tired and I can look at previous notes easier as all I gotta do is zoom out. I just wish i had more access to every tool lol, unfortunately most tools are behind a paywall witch isn’t bad nor would mind paying I just need them to add more shapes and features for it to be worth my coins lolll

Love it. Possibly the best. Few more things to make it perfect.
Easily the best canvas app. Love the learning science integrations. Experience is smooth, beautiful and responsive. New LLM feature has real potential. It’s one of the hidden gems on iPad and I genuinely think it is massively underrated. IMO the minimal yearly subscription is worth every cent.
If you are serious about non-linear thinking, buy it.

That’s it. That’s the review. What follows is realistically a wishlist that would move this app from a 4.5/5 to an 11/10…
- Audio recording with stroke linking, and ideally AI transcription - like Goodnotes and Notability
- SVG export to enable elemental integration with PKMs (eg Excalidraw)
- Better linking and visualisation of files (eg Miro style embedding with visual thumbnails in file explorer and backlinking navigation). I am a huge fan of obsidian for similar reasons and would cry tears of joy for a thousand years if you integrated obsidian flavoured markdown integration for structured concept map generation. PKMs are severely lacking in good digitising tablet tools.
- Holy Grail (recognise this is insane to implement) but Gemini-live or GPT-realtime audio+screenshare support to enable live AI learning - with tool use (web, mcp, etc). Can’t really get better than that.

Smooth, responsive, and a joy to write with
I’ve tried a lot of note and mindmap apps, and this one stands out. The canvas is fast and fluid, zooming is buttery smooth, and it never stutters—even with big maps. Handwriting feels natural and precise, easily the best experience I’ve had in a writing app. Multi‑lasso edits, focus tools, and PDF support make it great for study and planning. If you value a clean workflow and reliable performance, this is the one.

The app is great
The app is great for notetaking & higheroder learning, but please kindly add shape tool to draw clear shapes.
Study System upgrade
This app gave me so much more utility than my previous note taking app concepts, it genuinely made me so much faster at learning.
Best(not just on ios but among all softwares)
Best mind map taking software and really easy to use too!
Best Infinite Canvas with huge potentials
Downloaded and used it, subscribed to Pro after a few days. Everything is working well, but I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars because I wish they had the feature of Audio Recording. I still have to use Goodnotes 6 for recording audio transcriptions of myself explaining the Mindmap so that I can view and listen concurrently for review as an auditory learner.

Love the app, would like shapes
This app is my second brain and I love its price point, the. Only thing I would like to see is a feature that has more shapes available than just circle. Otherwise amazing, and I’m writing this review in hopes it will reach the developers
Battery usage
Great app with nice ideas to develop, need to improve battery perform.
