outstanding concept but pitiful documentation
Even 11 years old and I’m still a huge fan of this and sadly the programmer is not contactable. i’m only writing this because I see that the subscription is not automatically renewed.I get the feeling this is an abandoned project now which is sad because it is really very cool it just needs some better terminology and vastly better documentation. If you Google hard enough you might find some Vimeo videos which are really bad showing you how to use it but otherwise be prepared to spend a lot of time with trial and error.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. Subscriptions have been removed. The app is now entirely free; no need to renew the subscription. You can contact me via the website (aepryus.com) or head to the discord server. From iOS you can find the discord server from the red dot menu: Help/Links/Discord; from macOS you can use the top menu: Links/Discord. I’ll be happy to answer any and all questions you may have; I look forward to hearing from you!
Mac app not at all clear
The web tutorial only really describes the iOS (iPad) app. The Mac version is different and if you follow the tutorial, bad things happen. Most notably it refers to "hit the '=' key" often but does not mean your physical mac keyboard. Hitting that bizzarely inserts two equal signs in the bubble.
I paid for a subscription but I can’t use the app
Subscription is paid but you wont let me use the app. Please return my money.
Great Potential, but a Very Poor Marketing Approach.
I have oovium classic on my iphone, but the paid version is too expensive, as well as too limited in accessibility to afford. I WISH there was a pay-once option, (not sure if I know enough to say this, but $30 a year from each user is quite excessive, and presumably why the app has only 17 reviews for the 4+ years it (the paid app) has been on the app store.)
If you made the app into a one-time purchase worth at least no more than $10, but ideally $3.99 or less, then you would have exponentially more purchasers that would (likely) result in well-over 20x your current earning rate. Then, if necessary, raise the purchase price for new buyers by maybe a dollar or two, once Oovium has gathered a wide-spread reputation, and earn even more. You could possibly obtain donation money as well from strongly-supportive clients.
The only applications that can somewhat-justifiably get away with $30+ yearly subscriptions, are name-brand tools like adobe photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.
However, the most painful thing to see is that Oovium is Apple-exclusive. No one is going to be able to save Oovium if someone creates an open-source donation-based alternative with wider cross-platform availability.

Disappointed
Crashes on launch on iPad. Used platform this to tell developers. Support via Reddit?
No recent updates, has lost functionality
This app hasn't been updated in a long time. It hasn't kept up to date with iOS changes and hence no longer works as advertised. For example links to Dropbox no longer work. A great pity because it was an excellent app.
Just amazing
👍 just amazing
Almost Great
I love the idea of this app. I could be extremely useful and even game changing. I just wish it would work with my Logitech keyboard. I wish it had a manual or a help file or even pop up labels for its icons. I wish it had a loop structure other than recursion. I wish it had graphing and graphics capabilities. Other than that it is so compelling I can't stop playing with it.

Really useful app
This app allows me to prototype engineering design genetic algorithm and genetic programming models before I launch into coding. Great for visually analyzing a single example output to debug the logic. Very useful and handy since my iPad mini is quick and available.
Oovium is ALIVE!!!
Guys,
This app is great. It has use possibilities that haven't even been realized yet. I gave it 4 stars instead 5 because of where it is now as opposed to its destination. This app is in its infancy stages and between its developer and the end users, this can grow to something universally useful for everyone.
I needed to utilize support recently and the response was excellent. The developer is also invested in its success. The company is small but diligent. I have been told by the developer that a new iteration of Oovium is being worked from the ground up and taking what is possible now and expanding its possibilities even more.
Keep the faith Oovites

Awesome app.
I've looked at lots if mind mapping apps out there and this one stands out. For those who want smart thinking apps that can do more than draw pretty lines get this.
Creative way to work with numbers
I work extensively with data migrations and business intelligence and this app helps me figure out what is going on.
My go-to calculator for investments and all scratch pad math as well.

Fascinating App!
I hope this app continues to get traction. Seems very solid as a work in progress. It is a useful productivity app that draws me in like a game app.
I support alternate thinking!
Being geekish and proactive I bought this to help keep it alive. I really enjoy all of it. I was surprised when I finally got a MAC so I could see it, that I would have to buy a $30 version. Perhaps you could have a sale?
A great math tool
In a short time, I have found this app to be a must-have math tool when I need to do spreadsheet-like calculations fast; when I need to program a quick formula to do repetitive calculations; when I need to save math doodling that I usually do on scrape paper, but can now do with this tool and retain the calculations to redo with new figures. It is a new way in doing certain things that I have done before with other programmable calculators and spreadsheets, but can now do using a creative concept where you control the the math tool to the way you think. It makes the old ways of doing math a little more fun in the process.

A game changer for...
modeling ideas; gets real close to merging the qualitative and quantitative discovery process, which of course is the dream machine of all time, like SAS accepting prose verbal input. So, you guys have introduced this new and cool app, time will tell how solid your long term plan is, and your commitment to it. Now comes the fun part.

Update.....
UPDATE killed everything. Crashes on first screen
boom...Gone.
This is an honest app. Does what it says. My wish list would start with allowing an "overlay" for lack of a better word, of logic and decision making flow chart style shapes. This could go one step further and link with logic operators to the number flow on the math layer. In my mind I can fill a filling cabinet with situations that could make use of that type of math and decision forecasting. Go for it folks bet you can't stop with just one...

Works like my brain
As a mind or concept mapping tool, Oovium is unsurpassed. Most other apps of this kind make you think like the app...Oovium allows me to make a map reflecting the way I think. For specific tasks the flexibility of this app makes it possible to approach diverse problems in the optimal manner, differently from one to the next. In combination with these attributes, the addition of mathematical elements have proven invaluable in modeling a mechanical system. I first map out the general structure of a machine, then I use the numerical functions to flesh out the model. In gear ratios for example, I can enter constant values and immediately see the effect of changing one or more variables in the system.

Great start
I love the possibilities of This app but I think they have a long way to go. It is not as intuitive as I would like but then again I have only had it for a week and I am still getting used to it. Some of the features are really brilliant so I am definitely going to stay with it and I look forward to it developing into a really brilliant app.

Something new
It's a wonderful idea and way of working.
It's not the solution to everything, but sometimes this presents itself as the easiest way to visualize a problem and easily let's you explore alternate solutions or iterations.
Documentation and examples could use some work - but that task never ends and this way you get more play time.
