A , Simple and Effective

An exceedingly thoughtful, useful, and fascinating app

I have never gone out if my way to leave a review on something random like this, but this is a really special application if you’re the right type of user to appreciate it.

This sounds dramatic, but I believe many elements of the user experience design (cannot think of a better term for now) of LotsDots are subtlety unique, and innovative. This is a thoughtful project, with thoughtful design, and I believe the it’s author expects users to use and benefit from the tool in entirely different ways than their own. That is seriously cool.

Yes it’s expensive, but I encourage anyone who walks around with dangling threads between their ears and a spare $5 to try it out. Frankly put, LotsDots makes me more confident to reason and write about things that matter.

I found this app on HN, cheers.

Waste of time

I support new ideas and thats why I tried this. But I was very very disappointed. This product doers not have the basic stuff -- creating file system, renasming, creasting connections, finding help... or it's so dumb that I can't find it myself.

This app is not complete. I am surprised the Apple can approve them.

Hope the develops take a note. The application has some very nice mental model, but requires them to pay some attantion.
