### 4/5 — 機能, ビジュアル共にいい!

*2026-02-03*

やりたいことは大体できる上, 難しい操作もないので重宝!!

ただ, アプリ起動するたびに, テキストタイプのノートの各行に改行が追加されていくバグが...

### 4/5 — Great for introverts

*2015-01-10, version 3.1.8*

Generally more visual self reflection of intelligence is needed  before it's presented to others and this program does it like so.  It flows like a 3D video game. It's not perfect but the program is better than all the other brainstorming/information management programs I've tried.  I believe something like this program will eventually swallow and digest the nutrients of many other programs.  It's my personal operating system.

### 3/5 — Requires old version of freemind...

*2014-12-30, version 3.1.8*

I saw this and thought how cool, I can work on a mind map on both iPad and computer, but when I transferred the headspace lite map to freemind it was an old file that had to be upgraded in freemind.

Will this updated file work in headspace? Without buying the full version I have no way of knowing. Please can you make this clear in the headspace application description to help me (and others) make the decision?

Thanks

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2014-01-27, version 3.1.8*

Very nicely done! The program is still a little raw but with a little practice is very nice. It could use an interactive tutorial at the beginning. Headspace is great for outlining and mind mapping.

### 4/5 — ぜひ、日本語版を！！！

*2012-01-11*

日本語版を切望します。
今は、とにかくいじってみてますが（笑）
使いこなしたいので、日本語の説明が読めるようにしてください。
お願いしますっ！！！

### 5/5 — Ace

*2011-09-19, version 1.9*

Easy, way to organise. And sexy looking on iPad.

### 5/5 — Lower the price of the FULL app please ! ! !

*2011-06-29, version 1.9*

Fantastic product for getting ideas out of your head and onto your screen. 
The interface is intuitive and unlike other inferior mind-mapping efforts has little or no learning curve for the users which an app like this is clearly aimed at.
I feel that In the hands of intelligent users this app is a clear winner and has uses way beyond what the developer envisaged.
But . . . If the price was lowered below the £1.50 mark then I feel it could well be a product that every self respecting person would have on their system as an essential piece of well used and well loved kit; this in turn would make more profit for the developers on a stack em high sell em low basis!
Please don't over develop the simplistic nature of this app though as that's where it's strengths are!!!

### 4/5 — Easy and precise

*2011-05-02, version 1.9*

I downloaded a bunch of other free mindmappers when I downloaded this one, and by now this app was the only one left standing; I'm ready to upgrade to the paid version, because I want to export the data. 
The bubbles don't go crazy as soon as you touch them, like others do, its easy to link ideas, and group them, plus the note feature lets you add detail but not overpower the general design of your  ideas. 

The only thing that's a bit tricky is getting the hang of the 3D effects and the way the map moves when you pinch it around, but its fun to play around with that, and you can always go back to a stablized view with one click. The layout also looks very polished.

### 3/5 — とっても凝ってる優良アプリ、なれど…

*2011-03-01*

Mind Map って言うの？ 要するに、体系的メモ帳
アプリ。諸々のメモの見出しタグを、3D空間内の
平面上に配置し、グループごとにまとめるなどしてビジュアル的に体系化できます。
しかも3Dなので、そうしてできた体系を拡大縮小したり、横や裏から眺めたりできます。

見出しタグのそれぞれは、色を自由につけることもできます。画面下、右から二番めのアイコンからColor（の色パネル）タップ、Color Paletteの適当なパネルをタップで色の調合モードになります。

で、色の調合法ですが、大きな円の外周上には各色の純色が、虹のグラデーション順に並んでいます。これらの純色は、円の中心に近づけば無彩色（白〜灰〜黒）に近づきます。そしてその無彩色の明るさを、画面下のスライダーで調整します。
なのでピンクを作りたければ、明るさスライダーを白に近い方に合わせておいて、円周上の赤のところから始めて円の中央に進めばいいし、紺色なら、明るさは黒に近くして、青や青紫から中央に進めばOKです。赤、橙、黄、緑、青、紫という、純色の
並び順さえつかんでしまえば、直感的に使えると思いますよ。

なおこの無料版では、メモの体系を一つしかSAVEできません。

とまぁ、ホントに色々できて、画もキレイと、実に使いでのあるアプリなのですが…
色々できるのが仇となって、かえって面倒なんですよね…メモの書き込みとその整理以上に、操作方法の把握に頭を使うハメになって、ちょっと本末転倒なカンジ。実用性よりビジュアル重視である故に、使い勝手はお世辞にもよいとは言えないでしょう。
実はDLして以来、ハシャいで使ったのは最初だけで、あとは放置してました…

英語アプリってのもあるんですけど、もうちょっと分かりやすくならないかなぁ…よほど慣れないと、自在には使いこなせず、ならフツーの手帳の方が手っ取り早いわと諦めた、アナロギアンの、冬。

### 4/5 — great mind map

*2011-02-19*

素晴らしい。美しい。
マインドマップってやったことなかったですが、これは頭の整理になります
iPhoneユーザーですが、これをiPadでやったら自分の頭が宇宙に感じるのではないでしょうか。
でも自分の思ったとおりの色にならない。。
コツがあるんですか？

### 3/5 — It's ok, but

*2011-01-11, version 1.8.7*

I like the interface, for the most part. The major missing piece for me is the ability to easily follow links. There should be a mode where selecting an item automatically shows it's links.

### 5/5 — おぉ。

*2011-01-08*

とりあえずカッコいい。
簡単すぐ書ける、、、とはいかないがこれはこれでいいと思う。

有料版との違いってなんなんですかね？英語わかんないからなぁ。

とりあえず無料でもいいアプリです。

### 5/5 — 흥미로운 앱이군요

*2011-01-05*

익숙해지려면 시간이 좀 필요하지만 유용한 앱이군요
다른 파일의 그룹을 복사해서 현재파일에서 붙이기는 안돼는건가요?

### 1/5 — Made me stressed

*2016-03-30, version 3.3.4*

Don't bother downloading. It's a total waste of time. The program makes no sense at all.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2012-12-26, version 3.1.2*

Navigation is counterintuitive. Zooming and rotating seems random like you have no control over it. It's far from being easy to use.

### 1/5 — なんでー!!!

*2012-04-20*

アップデートする前超よかったのにした途端使えなくなった!!!
急遽改善求む!!!!!

### 2/5 — So cool, so impractical

*2014-02-23, version 3.1.8*

No denying the esthetics and wonderful design of this app; it's a work of beauty. However, it's possibly the slowest way ever to create mind maps. After the gee-whiz factor wore off, I found it frustrating in the extreme. Will not be using again.

### 2/5 — Interesting concept but poor implementation

*2013-11-08, version 3.1.8*

The concept is interesting ... to map in 3-D. I find the implementation here however is too cumbersome.

- Glaring colors on a black background. Yes, this can be changed by the user to a point. Why is it this way in the first place? I want to see my content not eye-candy.
- Spinning arrows and panning arrows and side popouts and other event signs are in many cases more distracting than useful.
- Dialog boxes at ever corner. Even the preference settings do not tell you what they change without a toggle to a dialog box.
- Data input or change requires too many unintuitive taps. Why can't I just double tap on the background to add a new idea? Why can't I just touch a link to modify or delete it?

Fun though this app may be, and groundbreaking  though the idea may be, I could not do a mind map quickly enough without distractions and frustrations. I'll stay with a flat 2-D space for the real mind map work.

### 2/5 — Hahaha

*2013-03-24, version 3.1.2*

Hahahah..I changed the boxes shape and the app now won't start after it froze

### 2/5 — Sieht gut aus

*2012-02-02*

Aber mir ist's auch zu pfriemelig und im Gebrauch zu zeitaufwendig.

### 2/5 — Stürzt regelmäßig ab (FW 3.0.1)

*2009-10-07*

Das Programm macht auf den ersten Blick einen guten Eindruck - die Idee ist toll. Leider ist die Umsetzung noch nicht ausgereift. Mit FW 3.0.1 stürzt das Programm regelmäßig nach paar Minuten ab, bei verschiedenen Aktionen und verliert dabei die letzten Eingaben.

### 2/5 — Confusing....

*2009-10-05, version 0*

I tried it.... Got confused by it.... Tried some more.... Got more confused...  
     Like most people, I am so busy, some things slip by.  This might work well for some but not me. Evidently, it is just not easy enough for me....  :(

### 2/5 — Fix jittery problems

*2009-08-15, version 0*

The text bubbles have a habit of flittering on and off the screen and jumping to different spots on the screen (at the speed and frequency similiar to a strobe light).  

It seems that the purpose of this app is to allow a better-than-conventional way of organizing thoughts, one that is less inhibited by typical restrictions.  If it were not buggy, it could probably serve this purpose.  I see potential for this app, but the jumpiness should have been fixed before release.

### 5/5 — 挺有意思的

*2024-12-24*

不过停止更新了，还容易闪退，之前写的也都没有了

### 5/5 — Fun to play with

*2017-12-08*

Truly fantastic experience. Keep up the good work! Hoping to see new updates in future..

### 5/5 — Best

*2015-06-18, version 3.3.0*

This is the best note taking app there is! I prefer this one above all of the others. Its easy and intuitive. It makes things easier to visualize. I love the fact that i can create and move categories and items with just my finger tips. Great app, five stars.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-03-29, version 3.2.5*

What can I say? This app is brilliant. The developer should be nominated for an award. It does
everything you'd hope it would do and works like a charm. The paid version lets you import / export files from iTunes, or export as PDF with pages for Illustrator, or even just plain text. The developer has thought of everything, and executed it in style. I'm 100% in love with this app. Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Absolute best app ever purchased!

*2014-11-04, version 3.1.8*

The graphics and layouts are the only reason I bought this app! The way you can sort and file the graph boxes behind one another is honestly the best reason to have created such an app!
The design is the most gallant way to have the perfectly compact self created MindMap that can easily be piled from up to dozens of separate blocks down to just five or seven stacks! But remember, if you want to use all the features of this app, then I strongly insist that you purchase the full version of the app!

### 5/5 — 画期的ですね！(epock-making!)

*2014-03-28*

とってもかっこ良くって、使いやすいです。
(Very cool&easy to use.)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-12-20, version 3.1.2*

Great app love it.

### 5/5 — It's great

*2012-09-15, version 3.1.0*

The interface was interesting to get used to, but once I did it's fun.
I really like the '3D' concept and adding notes and web pages is useful. (Please make the full version .99 cents!)

### 5/5 — Beautiful UI, Reliable, Essential Functions! Get this app now!

*2011-12-27, version 1.9*

Amazing tool for writers (like me) as well as academics and really just about anybody. I use this app as a virtual checklist for writing. This has become my new go-to note taking app for outlining checklists!

The app incorporates key, powerful functions, avoiding the 'throw everything including the kitchen sink" approach to Headspace's design. Being able to collapse & expand and use the "nothing" button are outstanding! This is a true hidden gem in the App Store and a no-brainer when it comes to upgrading to the $4 Full Version. Kudos!

### 5/5 — いや〜

*2011-12-05*

驚いた…。慣れるまで難しいけど、マインドマップとして十分なアプリ。
to doとしてはどうなんだろ？
でもこんなアプリがあったなんて…驚いたな〜。
