So happy it’s back – Instaviz Review

For my first iPad, Instaviz was the most important app I used. I could get thoughts out so quickly and the auto-arrangement meant it looked clean and clear. I would spend an hour with any topic and run dry on thoughts that I wanted to capture, then could provide the output to colleagues as a useful reference for productive conversation, and better designers than I could render the outlined thought into more appealing formats. I gave up hoping that Instaviz was going to be available to me again some years ago but I finally got a new iPad and tada! That it is! I have never understood why mind mapping top lists don’t include this product, so many tools have features but it is hard to get your thoughts out. Instaviz/Graphviz actually helps form the thoughts. Once you know the shape of the thoughts, you can worry about layout, and if it isn’t for public consumption I wager that the clean basic approach Instaviz gives us is a better use if time than trying to make something that looks sharper.
