### 5/5 — EOL July 1, 2026 ☹️

*2026-03-15*

Love Popplet! Sad to read that this awesome brainstorming flow chart app I've used for years is coming to an end. Looks like developers are focusing on school kids with their web based similar app SuperStructures IO. Wish them all the luck.

### 4/5 — Schlichtes Mind für wenig Geld

*2026-01-08*

Schlichtes Mindmap, das intuitiv zu bedienen ist. Die wichtigsten Funktionen ( Beschriften, 3 Schriftgrößen, Rahmenfarbe, verbinden) sind vorhanden. Schön, dass die Größe nicht eingeschränkt ist, man kann es verschieben und an der Seite oder unten weiterzeichnen. Exportieren als pdf funktioniert gut. Als JPG ist die Auflösung nicht so gut und die Überschrift fehlt. Natürlich bleiben noch Wünsche offen, wie etwa , dass man die Farbe, Platzierung und Größe der Überschrift frei wählen kann oder die Verbindungen auch einfärben kann.

### 3/5 — Popplet

*2023-07-18*

The lite version works better. When I invested in the actual Popplet, for some reason, when I saved a JPEG, it text was blurred, then, when I tried to make the text bigger, the whole box went bigger, and the text stayed small! Also I have to keep adjusting the sizes to keep the entire mind-map fit on my iPhone screen. It’s a great idea though easy to use and fast,  just needs these glitches fixing.

### 1/5 — -10 THIEVES! LIARS! Stole popplets

*2023-06-29*

When I first got this app they gave you 10 popplets online, then when they went to the subscription model, they stole away those previously free popplets. Trash developers!
