iThoughts - Mind Map App Reviews

I have used this tool for several years for work and home. Regular upgrades provide new and useful features. On line help with examples opens the mind to full utilization of this powerful tool. I use ithoughts on my phone, mini and Mac Pro to manage projects, plan the year, brainstorm problems. You will not be disappointed with this ap. It just keeps getting better.

Recently my iPad did some updates. It downloaded everything except ithoughts. Instead it remained in "loading" for days. I have done a ton of work with the maps which are incredible and people love when I reveal them. But upon looking into it I have found that if I delete the app for any reason, all the maps are gone. That said, if I cant get it to finish on its own somehow, I lose all of my work. Ithoughts never built in a login/password and it doesnt sync across my devices. Now I read that they have an "archive " plan they suggest but that something I didnt know early on. Great product... That I paid for... But now I may lose everything. Put some of my money to work please and make this better.

...or not easily accessible. 1. Tags 2. Label branches. Overall, still overall best on iOS

Ive used this app for a few years now and have always loved it. I wanted to use it yesterday and couldnt find it on my iPad Air2 anywhere. I go to the App Store and see the download from the cloud icon. I go to download it and it starts then stops...no download....tried it several times. I had a couple years worth of maps in the app and Im guessing theyre all gone now....very frustrating!

I had been using iThoughtsHD for a number of years and found that it was one of the most advanced mindmapping tools on any platform. I have used both free and very expensive commercial mind mapping software on the PC but I would trade all of them for iThoughtsHD. There are multiple ways to transfer your old files but I found the open in functionality worked perfectly. The in built sketching tool is a nice little bonus to customize your maps. Also the cross platform syncing via Dropbox gives great flexibility

This app keeps getting better! Now supports any kind of organization, not just top-down outline maps. Imports and exports just about any format imaginable. And handoff and iCloud support makes it seamless to switch between iPad/phone and Mac versions. For me, thinking starts in iThoughts.

3/6/16 Update: I still love this app. Just got the update, always wanted some of the new features just never expected to ever have them. Thanks again for a great product that just keeps getting better!! I have been using this app for a long time. I still find new things I can do with it and the developer just keeps coming up with new features that I didnt realize I needed until he created them to say that Im pleased with this app is truly and understatement. It has become a go to program for almost everything I do to organize both my personal and professional life. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the developer. I own iPhone, iPad and Mac version and love them all.

This App is outstanding...I highly recommend it . It has all features that you may need. Update: I am following your blog...I was waiting for this excellent update.

This app on an iPad with a keyboard is as close to the ultimate free thinking / writing tool Ive ever used. It is a pleasure to use. Ive been using iThoughts for years. I upgraded to the latest version today so I could work on a planning project all day long. If the old version rocked, this one is Woodstock. Keyboard integration is getting really good. Great software. Thank you!

The developer has hidden so many features in this great tool of an app. I use it daily for so many things. It can be simple, or if you want to dive in and learn, it has very advanced features. Just great for mind mapping, project outlining etc.

This is crazy awesome. So easy to use and so powerful. Fast, intuitive and clean. The research future alone is worth every penny. I cannot tell you how organized this has gotten me. Add to that the ability to literally see my thoughts which makes me so much more creative and productive. Watch the how to videos on their website and youll be a pro in no time. Or skip the videos and just start brainstorming!!

It syncs slickly with any Dropbox folder you desire... or more than one. You can tell it to automatically sync not only its native file format but also a bunch of others. For example, I have it sync in both iThoughts and MS Word formats. Not only can I edit on my phone in IThoughts and have correct syncing happen with my iPad and my Mac, but my writing partner automatically has an updated copy of my outline in the format he prefers. Before I bought iThoughts for Mac, I set up XMind sync, and could edit using either XMind on the Mac or iThoughts on iOS and have changes show up seamlessly everywhere. Beyond that (which is huge) it’s as feature-rich a mind map app as can be found on mobile device or desktop. Definitely worth the price.

I use this for everything from personal brainstorming to meeting minutes. I switch between the Mac app and the iPad app constantly via ICloud. Markdown export is fab, especially when using Brett Terpstras Marked2 on the Mac. It just works. Buy it.
