User reviews

Under developed!

It’s quite difficult to come to terms with. Things don’t happen as you would expect.
It crashed on a brand new iPad after 20 minutes. When that happens and I lose everything I’ve lost confidence.....the app gets binned! And that’s what I’ve done!

Waste of money

Excellent app

After a bad start which mirrored a previous, 5 year old review of this app crashing when I tried to name my first mind map, the problem disappeared when I removed spaces from the name

The UI is discreet and stays out of the way. Tapping a free area near the bottom brings up key options. This is easy to learn, uncluttered, flexible and attractive. May not be as full featured as others like mind node and ithoughts but this app - for me - is much more productive because of ease of use and the distraction-free workspace

Impressed enough that I bought the Mac version as well. The two versions work together seamlessly via iCloud. Recommended

DIASAPPOINTING

Does not do what it (seems to) claim to do.
No help function that is helpful.
Developers page is just some random thoughts written by the developer.
Freezes sometimes.
Very non-intuitive for me.

Too complicated and leggy

.

Crash Crash

Looks like a really good application, but it keeps crashing on my iPad. I don't know why.
