User reviews

Nice idea - would be nice to have

Tried to test the app but keep going to making me pay for a “trial” since I don’t even know how it works it is hard to pay for it before I can see if it suits me. Uninstalled it unfortunately. If I’m doing something wrong and missing a test session let me know so I can try it again.

Excellent Brainstorming

This tool is like none other. It is entirely random, but really allows the user to think deeply on a given topic. Very creative, and helpful for creating new things. Technical need: found that it "lagged" when trying to hand write a lot of words. After 15 words it seemed like it slowed down. Will use this often. Those who criticize, likely don't understand the purpose of the app.

Note: about 35 years ago a similar concept software (for windows) sold for about $300 called, "Idea Fisher". It was made by the man who started Century 21 Reality -- he was convinced the collision of words created new ideas.

So wanted this to work, but missing basic features

I’ve been looking for an app to improve productivity and have mind mapping features. This ticked all the boxes for me and downloaded the free version to try.
Starting up is great to produce lists and categories of lists.
So far so good. I then tried to combine these in a free form view and started sketching. The problem is you cannot edit lists you have created or even edit your free form work to remove words or add in words you didn’t initially want.

So it appears you have to add everything in or start again.
Just not up to it yet I’m afraid.

Cant utilize the other forms of learning

Only the abc list works, not the others.

Interesting Concept!

Very interesting concept, with reference to some great thinkers (DaVinci, Raymond Lull) - onboarding is a little rough, and you have to click around a bit to find the various functions (not entirely intuitive, at first) — but once you get past that, the learning concepts (and explanations in the about pages) are very interesting, pushing you to build lists, categorize items, and associate various (seemingly unrelated) topics, a la Ramon/Ramondi Lull (circa 1308, Ars generalis ultima).

It’s a bit barebones / rough in its current iteration, but a cool concept and interesting application.
