Doesn’t save work consistently

I used to use this program over a decade ago, when it helped me. I was excited to use it again in my iPad and MacBook— and purchased both. After spending more than an hour trying to find what I thought I had saved and exported, seeing my work disappear into thin air a few times— after minimizing the window, and repeatedly having to reconstruct it, I became so frustrated that I wish I could get a refund. I am very happy with MindNode.

A pale imitation of the MacOS version

The basis of Inspiration goes back to the 80’s. This developer has come nowhere remotely close to what this app WAS much less should be. Features that were common before this company acquired this application were: Being able to arrange items in layers. (move to back) Grouping and Ungrouping Features needed: a way to create vector shapes bring in vector art The “clip art” in the galleries is also right out of the 80’s There has been no upgrade in the last year. This app had the greatest promise of being the standard for mind mapping and they have really dropped the ball.

Absolutely amazing

The only thing I wish it had would be some way to group the many maps that I’ve made into folders! There are numerous different categories of maps one can make to illustrate interconnected thoughts and relationships through this app. I would recommend any student and teachers alike to utilize this as a visual learning tool to freely connect the flow of ideas associated with leaning. An absolutely fantastic app for visual learners, brainstorming, and academics.

will syncing be available?

Sooner or later?

Suggestion

The backgrounds are limited.. It only lacks the ability to add backgrounds to the page from the studio or from another site..

Excellent app. Needs just one good thing...

I love this app. It is simple to use and has a ton of features that make this appropriate for all types of users. The one thing I wish you could do is modify your lines. The automatic lines are good for small projects but as the project the lines start to like like spaghetti. I'd love to be able to customize them. Otherwise I'm super stoked about this app.

What happened?

We love this app, but what happened to being able to export the text into a MS Word doc? It allowed our students to use the outline to start creating their sentences and paragraphs from the already created text! For student who struggle with writing either creatively or physically this is super important. It would work as well to throw the text into the Notes app, but not as a picture. Can that be added please.

Excellent iPad Version

I started using the original version of Inspiration more than 20 years ago. This new version is terrific. Highly recommended for mindmapping and organizing your thoughts.
