Productivity and Learning has never looked better
Mateyasx

This is a beautiful and easy to use app on the surface. Beneath the aesthetic surface is an extremely deep, feature rich, customizable mind mapping software. I love it. I purchased it on ios and Windows cause I love it so much. If I had a mac I would purchase it there as well.


Not a joke. A masterpiece.

I’ve built two business, sent two kids to college, moved three times and moved one business. All from within this app. Map your entire inner self here and let your actions flow out to your favorite task manager. FLATTEN anybody doubting your prowess when you pull out your entire position in one fluid map. ToketaWare has never let me down. So excited for them to push this to 3D! *hint hint*


Can this be fixed? HOPE SO!
Ikillplanes

Uh oh! iPhone updated this app today, and I lost the map I was working on! I have updated iThoughts dozens (100’s?) of times over the years, and haven’t lost any data before. Pls fix this so it doesn’t happen again. This is one of my all time fave apps—and I use it every day. Thanks!


The very best app there is
rshearermd

I have used ithoughts since it first appeared as a mind map option and finding it totally surpassed the others. It continues to do so and more importantly is that support actually replies and helps to solve a problem DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON OTHER OPTIONS


Great App
TType

Use it on Mac, iPhone, iPad, PC with touchscreen. (Wish the PC touchscreen worked as well as the iOS version.)


Phenomenal Product
Manalo2020

Great product and customer service. I had a question about the product and sent the creator an email. He responded within 5 minutes. Let’s go!!!!!


Powerful. Full featured. Dependable. Clarity using.

At the end of this review i share that I wish iThoughts did ‘sums.’ It does do sums. Years ago Tom Peters wrote a book called ‘In pursuit of T he Wow Factor.’ This app has it for me. As demanding a lot for my main app, I am many times saying “Wow” while using iThoughts. I’m back. Now that iThoughts uses iCloud, the sync is great & I have come back home to iThoughts. It just works & gives me the flexibility I need in a simple but full featured project useful app. The only wish is that it would do sums I do projects, several at one time. The app I use must have all the features listed above in the title to be helpful/supportive in my work (I also use this for journaling.). I have tried MANY mind mapping, databases, and advanced calendars. I have found that iThoughts is the one app I always come back to for one of the reasons listed above. The customer service is most supportive & timely.


难以形容
喵喵2648

最最最最致命的一点!!!为什么我调整二级标题的顺序后,三级及三级以下的主题顺序也自己变了??这是个bug还是智能排序??我无语了。。如果是智能排序的话,拜托添加一个可以取消这个功能的窗口。你只看到了主题的长短但是你看到了他们之间的逻辑关系没?。排在下方的兄弟主题是从上面整理得出来的啊!真的。。。我的逻辑全被打乱了,做了一周的思维导图相当于一份没有逻辑只有机械的文字堆砌的垃圾[微笑],气得肝疼。 还有一点,转出PDF的时候只希望是一个完整的导图,而上面的涂鸦和插入的图片希望可以不再单独显示,因为这是要提交的一份正式文件。 其次,在使用iOS涂鸦功能的时候常常断触,用的官网买的pencil,在其他手写软件上并没有出现这种情况。并且iOS涂鸦时没有禁止手写的功能,有点让人恼火。希望能够完善自带涂鸦功能的手写体验感,或者考虑以上建议。 不得不说,一定要夸一下主题样式可以修改的功能!并且可以选择同一级别的主题统一修改!这是在其他app体验不到的快乐。 最后一点,希望能有一个针对框定主题统一进行注释的功能。这对于汇总思路至关重要,因为有时候几类因素可以用两种方法划分,单独设一个主题添加就太繁琐复杂了。 以上是我的建议。希望开发人员能够予以考虑。谢谢!


My preferred mind mapping tool
Appman5605

Having tied a couple other apps, I find this one has the best and most intuitive UI. Plus iThoughts has a ton of feature.


Heck of a Value
Noisegui

I’ve been using this for years and remain very impressed with the quality of this app. Not only is it easy and intuitive to use, but the developer is consistently adding valuable features, improving the interface, fixing bugs, and otherwise making the program better and better all the time. It is truly one of the best apps available for mind mapping. None of the other apps are even close.
