It is exactly as they say

The app is boxes and arrows, no delete, no undo, no user guide, it is not self explanatory. Once I left a box I could not find a way to go back and add text, nor could I get rid of an accidental arrow or box, but I did manage to lose all of it with the swipe of a finger….twice. Not even worth the 99 cents.

Versatile and fast!

This is a great app. It lets you generate nodes quickly, make connections and align the nodes with absolutely the minimum fuss.
Best of all, the app lets you make real concept map assemblies. By this, I mean you can make feedback loops - such as {A to B to C to A} (conventional mind maps can't do this). Also, two 'parents' can have one 'child' (conventional mind maps can't do this, either). Or indeed, you can do genuine many to many maps, which is what I need for my Real World problem solving approaches.
And it dynamically moves the lines as you move the nodes (some conventional mind maps can do this). Kinda like having ideas on springs ...
This, then, after literally less than a minute's use, is my favourite app. I've been looking for this exact functionality for literally 12 years.
And it's 89p. I would pay £100, really. Awesome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Schlicht und einfach - einfach gut.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einem Tool, mit dem sich einfach Beziehungen/Relationen zwischen mehreren Elementen darstellen lassen. Anfangs versuchte ich Linien zu ziehen, indem ich eine Verbindungslinie mit dem Finger zog, wie ich anhand der "international verständlich Bedienungsanleitung" malernde muss man beide Elemente in entsprechender Reihenfolge anklicken.

Toll ist auch, wie einfach sich Verbindungslinien mit Doppelspitzen generieren lasse. Zudem ist die Arbeitsfläche unbegrenzt.

Die App bietet noch Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten zur Farbsetzung, Dicke von Linien etc. beschriftete Verbindungslinien, etc.

Resümee tolle App.

Does what it does ... PERFECTLY

I have a bunch of mind mapping tools. Most I never use because the interface is just too clunky, or the learning curve too steep. BOXES does just one thing, intuitively, perfectly. Tap, get a box. Double tap, add text. Drag boxes around. Tap box to box to draw an arrow. That's it. If you want a super fast mind mapping tool with no fuss, this is it. If you want color and whirling doodads, this is not your app. Only problem is this simplicity is a bit overpriced. Bring the price down, boys ...

Response from developer

Hi there, I am Jan from Philanthrosoft. I am the creator of B'nA. I always wanted to thank you for your review. It showed me, that I was on the right track in my attempt to make a very simple mind mapping or better mind graphing tool. And from what you said, I exactly hitted the point, I intended to. I hope you like the course the development of Bn'A took and of course would like to hear any further comments about it. I'm trying to keep the intended simplicity, even as functionality builds up. You still can use the tool exactly like in the beginning, when you commented on it. There is still a lot to come but it will take time, since I'm doing this as a sidekick project and have very limited time to spend on it. Maybe you still are interested an keep an eye on the updates. So, thanks for your review and I hope this reply will bring some of the joy to your day as did your comment back then did to mine. With kind regards J. G. Schute P.S. Apple only recently made it possible to answer on reviews, that's why you get a reply now. And following as an Easter egg, a promotion code for BnA, for you to give it away (Valid only till May 11th and not for sale): 3XNAWH64KRWE
