iThoughts - Mind Map Reviews

Just the best

Calion

iThoughts is the all-singing, all-dancing mind-mapping software for iOS. It has a ton of awesome features, is in active development, and does just about anything you might want it to—and if it doesn't, the developer probably has it on his list of features to add. I've been using it for years, and have no major complaints. I especially love the easy syncing and compatibility with various desktop apps—including the excellent iThoughts app for Mac and PC. I'm not going to list the features I would like, because they're all under consideration by the developer—he'll get to them when he can. The one small gripe I have is with the interface. Don't get me wrong—the basic interface is just fine, attractive and functional. It's just that this thing has so many features, he's run out of places to put them. I feel like a better job could be done somehow, though I'm not quite sure how. Perhaps he should hire an interface expert—is Tog available?

Lousy Dropbox integration

Doesn’t work well with files. Lousy Dropbox integration. On iPad lives in its own world with own file system. Quite a disappointment. Lousy instructions. Impossible to figure out.

Import Export hit or miss

sayvilleguy

Concept Draw mindmap import export is hit or miss. Export to CDMM works but imports from CDMM simply does not. Contrary to iThoughts web site and info, no it does not automatically pull from clipboard on iOS device but even manually paste of a cdmz file yields a dumb screen saying “data”. User interface remains limited and cryptic. Disappointing that basics really haven’t been resolved for iPhone version.

Makes my life better

A great app, I use it for everything from remodeling the house to, building software, to kids school projects.

Well designed to get notes organized into usable form. Really like the inclusion of cursor control keys within the app! The export to XMind and markdown formats has allowed me to write in iThoughts and share with others.

Best in Class For Mindmapping

IThoughts .. in my opinion. I don't think there is another Mind mapping app that can achieve everything this one is capable of. For some it may be overwhelming and there are probably 3 others that I would recommend for simplicity, function and style. I don't need to list them because everyone knows the one's I am referring to. If you want one for IOS, your, iPad and Mac then this program although a touch more expensive ultimately offers the best bang for your buck. It can do anything, you just have play with it and read the directions to see how versatile it really is and can be.

Very good, potential to be Superb!

I have been using this app as my go to mind mapping tool, but there's only one reason I keep looking to see if anyone else can come up with that one outstanding feature that would make it perfect for the iPad Pro ... the ability to handwrite using Pencil instead of having to type the node contents. I made this suggestion to the developer over a year ago, nothing yet. The app that comes closest to providing this capability is IdeaBoost, but it lacks the mapping structure of mind maps. Someone else made a similar suggestion to the developers at SimpleMind and it appears they may be working on it. It's surprising no one has come up with this feature yet to leverage the iPad Pro with Pencil. MindManager had this capability available nearly 15 years ago on the Windows platform, way back when we called them Slates. Hope to see this feature soon, so I can rate it a superb 5++

The best iOS Mindmapping tool!

This is industrial use my mapping. I've been using this since 2011. The recent addition of the calendar reminder integration is a terrific addition to a very solid package. I love using this tool. And for ideas and encouragement, the developer is wonderful to work with.

Maybe It's Time to Move on

I've had this app since v.1 and been waiting around on a major update for a year now for v.4, but it seems like the developer has gotten lazy and doesn't want be innovative anymore. This update is disappointing and not worth the download.

Couldn't live without it

I've been using this app for years, and I use this app for everything; brainstorming, project planning, project management, roles and responsibilities charts. The ability to add resources and due dates to tasks is a huge benefit. Exporting to outline and PDF is easy and effective. Using maps created in iThoughts is a powerful communication tool to ensure that all stakeholders are on the same page, and understand the vision or plan moving forward.
