Best mind-mapping app
I have been using this application for several years now and it keeps getting better. It is very easy to use and has many shortcuts. The cloud sync makes it even more useful. I just wish I could find a desktop version.
Lacks a Clean UI
I love this app on the iPad. I almost use it everyday. I bought the iPhone version thinking it was designed by the same person and unfortunately it's not.
While the functionally is great, the UI designer has carved real-estate on each corner of the screen leaving the user with very little room to think clearly and do a mind-map. I have emailed them about us and they've said it's in the works but several months have passed by with no change to the interface so I thought you guys should know the user experience is subpar.
Buy the iPad version and wait for them to change the interface.
