iThoughts - Mind Map

Still works. Still great. Still love it after all these years.

I use Mindmanager but like to use this program on my iPhone. Unfortunately, the export feature to other programs does not work rendering it useless to me. It is suppose to be easy. Link a fold on my phone with my Dropbox folder and when the two folders sync, the Mindmanager format is suppose to be exported and stored in the cloud where I can retrieve it with my Mindmanager program but it doesn’t work. It just exports the iThoughts file even though I chose the Mindmanager extension to be exported. It use to work but no longer. Also, you are limited to using Dropbox only which further reduces its usefulness to me. Overall a good program but now of limited value to me.

You won't find a better product! I've been using it since original product came out years ago and still happy (even with having to pay for the newer version).

This is my favourite mind mapping software. The license is a one time purchase. It’s extremely functional and versatile. I use it for business, learning, systemizing and planning. I highly recommend it. I’ve written a blog about it. I also have the windows version, which is better.

Tonight, while late-night canoodling some thoughts, used iPad app first time without keyboard, and therefore more intimate. Amazing difference: thoughts are clearer, possibly because device is closer, and navigation much, much easier with touch. Pondering is highly facilitated. A bit of a revelation! Highly recommended…

I bought this less than a week ago. Love love how easy it is to pour your thoughts with it, move things around and see the big picture. BUT as soon as I make a copy of one of my mind maps and worked on it, it started crashing non-stop and losing all the modifications I made. I am disappointed, it is not a cheap app. Knowing all that I would not buy it again.

Back at school after years away and this app is making the transition manageable with balancing work and family and an injury that keeps me from taking notes by hand. Linking research articles, adding photos/pdf’s, reorganizing themes on the fly. Everything is organized and at your fingertips. Took awhile to get used to layouts/shortcuts but every minute well worth my investment. Only have it on iPad but with an external keyboard haven’t even felt the need to use a full computer. I carry my notes with me everywhere for impromptu studying while waiting for my kids, etc. Makes the most of every minute. If I could only choose one app ... this would be it. Seriously, try it.

I love this app. I am a neurology resident in my final year of training, which involves a ton of studying and notes. iThoughts has been perfect to arrange my notes in a way that I can organize a and remember. I think what sets it apart is that it’s not like other note-taking programs where all notes are the same format. In addition to the raw information input on iThoughts, you get a visual representation of “where” the information is to help trigger your memory. In this way, I find it akin to paper studying that computer based notes have never quite done for me before. I bought the iPad app several years ago, and just bought the iOS app recently. They’ve both been great. Too some time to get used to the commands / shortcuts to use within the bubbles and now works seamlessly. Would highly recommend — definitely to anyone in science based on my personal experience, but I’m sure the benefits would expand over many fields for studying, planning, organizing, etc. Thanks for making such a wonderful unique app!! :)

This is my very best mindmapping application on iOS and iPadOS. It is brilliantly designed, comes with a host of extremely relevant functionnalities, and works like a charm. It is regularly updated and grows gracefully. I’m impressed by its import and export capabilities. I’ve been using it for years as my main mindmapping application, and never regretted it. I do also use it on MacOS and Windows 10, and it works flawlessly. I’m still using other mindmapping applications, but this is the most important one for me. It is wonderful to creatively organize our thinking. To me, the affordances provided by this applications are worth a small fortune. Conrad Lavallee

I have used this app for at least 3 years and it is my go to for planning and follow up. Use it every day. So many features to increase productivity.
