## What is Deer?

Deer is a structured note-taking app.

"Freely Reorder Notes"
Beyond basic functions, each line in the note can be freely dragged and moved using keyboard shortcuts. You can quickly adjust the order of text in your note.

“One-Click to Outline"
For clearer organization of your note, you can convert them to an outline with one click. Editing text in the outline provides a clearer view of the structure. Drag and drop is also supported in outline mode, but you drag an entire paragraph.

“One-Click to Mind Map"
If you find the outline mode still not clear enough, you can convert it to a mind map with one click. In this ultimate mode, the disorganized information in your note becomes crystal clear. This will help you organize newly learned knowledge points or complex theoretical concepts.

### 5/5 — Very, Very good and great value for money…

*2024-06-22, version 1.2.9*

This app has everything you could ask for for planning, brainstorming and other like types of activity. Great value for money, too.

Are you planning to bring this awesome tool up to date? If you are, it has SOOOOOOOO much brilliant potential with AI etc.

Thank you.

### 4/5 — 匯出功能沒有反應

*2024-01-12, version 1.2.9*

匯出pdf jpg等按了都沒反應

### 3/5 — Promising app but needs a little polishing

*2023-09-02*

I played with this app for a while.
I loved the idea of turning my mindmaps into an indented list.
The downside is there doesn't seem to be much instructions, perhaps the developer can show off their app a little more by having the instructions within the mindmap.
Also I struggled a little to navigate, the interface isn't entirely intuitive. I spent some time looking but couldn't find a checkbox for tasks being completed, which you would expect for a list / to do / mindmap app like this. Again, the developer could perhaps showcase some of this functionality within the app.
The current app version appears to be 2 years old, so perhaps this app is not actively supported / developed.

### 5/5 — awesome. really.

*2023-07-19*

not huge on reviews, but this warrants an exception.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2022-08-29, version 1.2.10*

Simple and easy to use

### 4/5 — Deer

*2022-08-06*

For me this is a program which is a true extension of the thought process. It becomes intuitive like breathing and combines cognitive, spatial, visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile and pre-cognitive processes of the mind. That being said, this is great for people on the spectrum whose minds move faster than computing algorithms.
Thank you

### 5/5 — Great app for visualizing goals and ideas!

*2022-05-24*

I use this app as a to do list for plans I have for the future! I love this app! I highly recommend it for people that think visually. I had a hard time understanding the app at first since I personally didn’t find the tutorial too intuitive but after playing with it for a few minutes, I got the hang of it. It’d be nice if the tree data structure could also be oriented from up to down instead of just left to right. It’s not a game breaker looking at the tree in a left to right orientation but it’d be nice if we get the choice of how to orient the tree. Other than these, I love using this app to organize my thoughts. Keep up the amazing work!

### 4/5 — 希望可以匯出pdf檔

*2021-07-12, version 1.2.2*

如題

### 4/5 — Has potential, please keep it simple

*2021-03-29*

This app has a lot of potential, please do not drown it with additional features the mind mapping / task features are what many of us want to work with . Some formating for the the text cells would be nice ie. lists and other standard features. Along with the ability to set character length on the nodes. It needs a few inteface tweaks in terms of deleting nodes with a swipe left at the root node would be nice but all in all it has a lot of potential.  This is the first review I have ever submitted on an app so again please dont ruin your fan base with to many bells and whistles the do one thing and do it well is the best advice this Sr. Business Analyst can offer.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your use and your valuable suggestions. We are now trying to add some text editing functions, and encountered difficulties, it may take a month to update, but please rest assured that we will continue to optimize it. After all the main functions are completed, we will add some personalized functions to meet different needs. It is really inconvenient to not be able to delete nodes in the list. We consider adding the function of sliding to delete from the right edge of the screen. We will work hard to develop more useful features to improve user efficiency.
