Visions is a fast, beautiful, and fun way to capture all your ideas and refine them by answering Y Combinator questions. These questions are from Y Combinator’s “How to Start a Startup” course at Stanford viewed by thousands of people. What is Y Combinator? Y Combinator is a startup accelerator based in Mountain View, CA. Forbes has found Y Combinator to be the most commercially successful startup accelerator in the world. Wired has called Y Combinator a "boot camp for startups" and "the most prestigious program for budding digital entrepreneurs.” **TIPS FROM Y COMBINATOR** “Keep a log all the things that seem to be missing and all the problems you encounter in life. Use a platform that allows you to easily add to the log on your phone. You want to be able to pull out your phone and jot something down quickly whenever you notice something missing or problematic. Turn off all of your other filters, including whether the thing that’s missing could be a startup idea. Also don’t worry about whether the problems you encounter are too trivial. The idea is to get this background process running, and get you in the habit of noticing more potential startup ideas.” Features: • Fast and easy way to capture ideas • Y Combinator questions to refine your ideas • Simple, effortless organization • Clean, distraction free writing experience • Easily export ideas as a file or text • Privacy with Touch ID and Passcode lock

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Startmapp holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Startmapp has 468 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Visions's written reviews are positive against 78% of Startmapp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
