Pros and cons of SimpleMind - Mind Mapping app for iPhone and iPad

SimpleMind - Mind Mapping app good for

Nice app, simple to use. Decent interface to define and modify maps

Easier mind mapping soft under IOS, specialy the last version. Some problems when you copy/cut a map if you export in text after (text loss). Price of PC version too high. Next version should provide the opportunity to create independant objects, choose an icon (given or own library) and give the choice of text following a line instead of writing it on a box by default.

Simple easy tool for structuring your ideas on the way. I read that it is available on the web too.

I use this app all the time to brainstorm story and plot ideas. Its a perfect tool, with just enough functionality to do the job, and dead easy to use.

Downloaded this a few days ago and have been using it frequently. Very simple to use, and efficient mind mapping software. Have shown it to some friends who were also impressed. This type of app is transformative: it raises an iPad to a new level of functionality for business and educational users. Not sure why this sort of app has taken so long to appear... I would have bought an iPad a lot sooner. While it isnt perfect, it is very well done. In the way of suggestions for improvement: 1.it would be nice if the user could select from various field shapes and fonts to provide visual emphasis; 2. permit changes in background color and 3. allow changes to colors of specific field boxes to override the automatic default selection provided by the software. Thanks and looking forward to future enhancements.

Very good program to use to store data. I use it to take lecture notes. Works good. Replaces 20 pages of notes into one page.

Some bad moments

I purchased the full app because of this integration and it does not work. Disappointing. Also, there is a previous version of the app in my desktop, that became grayed and cannot be deleted or updated.

Disgusting synchronization. Does not work with drop box- saves from iphone as a new file. Synchronizing by desktop both devices must be connected to the same wifi network.

I am truly pleased to be able to use such well designed well thought out software.
