### 5/5 — Not simple and beautiful

*2016-07-13*

Rete is the best mind map and note app. The app is very beautiful. However, it is not simple. You can do so many things with it - shapes, colors, fonts, arrangement, etc. - that it couldn't possibly be simple.  Fortunately, the creators provide good documentation.
Another giant plus is that it is presented with an open source license and without ads.
