## What is iBrainstorm?

Capturing and sharing your inner most creative genius has never been easier. Introducing the first multi-device collaboration tool from Universal Mind. From iPad to iPad with just a flick of the finger, iBrainstorm has set the bar and has redefined the very nature of collaboration.

Add a note, then drag and drop it anywhere on the iPad's screen to create any desired order or pattern. Assign colors to give additional meaning or priority. Provide clarity to your students or classmates through simple organization.

The iPad canvas also serves as a drawing board. Draw, erase or zoom in for tighter control. Everything is then captured for later. Show relationships between ideas or just capture your best stickman - it's easy.

Think it. Share it. Love it!

No space!

### 1/5 — This made me sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

*2020-10-21, version 3.0*

### 1/5 — this is dog poop

*2019-11-18, version 3.0*

My mom dont let me get it it stinks like you.

### 5/5 — The best brainstorming app

*2019-11-10, version 3.0*

This app is a life saver. Whenever outlines and mind map softwares end up overwhelming me more than helping me, I come to this app and in no time my ideas start taking shape. 

It’s a shame that the developer no longer seems to do any work on this app. It works well but it would be nice to have a new feature added every once in a while. I’d happily pay for it.

### 1/5 — What is going on ?!!!!!!!!!

*2017-11-29, version 3.0*

It won’t even let me into the app! Is there something Rong

### 1/5 — Hi

*2016-03-21, version 3.0*

Very dissipointed

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-02-22, version 3.0*

Great app for learning and for work

### 2/5 — Orphaned?

*2016-01-29, version 3.0*

A host of small issues. Here's an annoying one: Still works only in landscape mode. Really? After all this time, I can only imagine that this must be someone's abandoned project.

### 3/5 — Good app...

*2015-02-27, version 3.0*

Very helpful app. I think it will be one I will use often.  It is good but with a few additions, it could be great.  It is easy to figure out how to use but wish we could type outside of a sticky note.  I find the pencil feature is difficult and messy to use to write words.  Being able to type text would be much clearer.
It would also be helpful if the size and angle of the stickies could be changed.
One other feature I wish was available was the ability to copy an entire note.  I have a meal plan format set up and would love to able to just duplicate it for the next week and change the text.
Thanks for such a useful app!
