Headspace

Update: I held my breath after the flurry of iOS/iPadOS updates in recent weeks, concerned that I might lose access to favorite apps. And Headspace remains the most visually spectacular and functional (if not well-known) mindmappers ever created. Happily, it continues to deliver as a wonderful diagramming outliner/notetaker/brain storming tool! This app developer publishes frequent updates, both bug fixes and new features. Headspace remains my favorite mindmapper and, for that matter, it functions as a great visual outliner with its generous-sized popup note panels and easy-to-slide elements. Altogether, it's a pleasure to use so I use it often! PREVIOUS REVIEW: The most beautiful iPhone app is finally available for the iPad and as a universal app no less! iThoughtsHD is a fine mindmapper but Headspace is simply the most intuitive, easiest to use brainstorming application ever created for any platform. Don't believe it can be that great? Try it! You'll immediately discover that a three dimensional environment is the optimum way to display, stack and connect ideas. This developer has truly invented a "better mousetrap"! And now Headspace is a full resolution iPad for a fraction of the cost of most other mindmappers!

I find it easier to layout certain ideas in Headspace then using a standard mind map.

I bought the app based on a video by the developer. Pretty cool idea. Right now, the current version has a bug that causes the app to crash on creating a new group. You can contact the developer through the app, and I’ve reported the bug. Looking forward to an update. I like the idea, but I wish you could use the z-axis for something other than collapsing children. Perhaps place Groups at different "layers" in the z-axis, with perhaps the z-axis representing "time." Alternatively, multiple groups as "org charts" with links between individuals in different organizations appearing across the z-axis, while links (other than hierarchical wiring) between individuals within an organization appearing in the x-y plane. There aren’t a lot of apps that explore concept mapping or networks in a 3d environment. At least, not that I’ve found with a little bit of effort. This is fun to play around with, and does prompt some interesting thinking.

This is the only mind mapping app I use. Great for narrowing down the components of a project. I fear, though, that development has stopped on the app. There are bugs that need to be fixed, and I would also like to see the addition of other cloud options like OneDrive to use.

I came across this app while looking for a mind mapping app. Why this app isn't way more popular is beyond me! It's a showcase of not only an innovative and fun mind mapping app but an example for app developers. I've spent too much time staring at loading screens laggy apps that had not even half of the functionality that this app has. It's a 4MB app with huge customizability both in app and under settings. Sure it takes some getting used to, but there's an easy manual with visuals in the app itself. I really hope there is still developer support for this app. A truly stellar app!

Been using this app since the beginning. Works great on iOS7, and syncing via Dropbox and Bonjour work flawlessly between my iPad and iPhone. There are many cool mind mapping apps in the app store, but something about how Headspaces uses 3D space and color fx, makes the dry chore of keeping your ideas organized just so much more “fun” Would love and be happy to buy an OSX version to sync to. Please!!!

At first glance, I'm not sure what amazes me more -- the app itself or the fact that there are not already a vast ocean of glowing reviews. I am current long-time user of TheBrain, an advanced mindmapping tool, which I believe is the best in in world. I used TheBrain to plan and strategize a successful business, so I know it works. Headspace is the first app in the IOS world which I've seen take an innovative approach which has the potential to inspire new ways of connecting the dots in whatever field of endeavor you're in such as business, the arts, or even sports. The idea of building hierarchies with what are conventionally called nodes is a Head Space concept that I'll playing with a lot with. Best of luck to the developer.

Very enjoyable & easy to use, though a little buggy & prone to hanging/crashing once I've had it open for a while. But still a beautiful app to look at iCloud-based sync would be great, hopefully that is in the works!

After buying the full version I realized I needed a computer to transfer the work I had already worked on. But that's just apple. I'm using this app with Apple TV for business presentations. I'f there was a desktop version on osx that I could sync with I would pay soooo much money for it.

Using Ipad 3, latest iOS, crashes immediately upon entering text for first group! Useless. Please fix!
