Ratings and reviews

I love this app. I do all my teaching planning on it and with dates, checklists and progress bars on certain activities. I have one central page, which I link off to all the other mindmaps. So Drive comparability has been taken away, and I've had to move everything to Dropbox. Fine. I was hoping that I could finally edit different mindmaps on either my phone or my Chromebook and have them synchronize, but sadly it still does not work. instead of synchronizing one file it keeps making new copies.

As a neurospicy individual, this app has drastically helped me overcome my fear of my notes app and actually put my thoughts all in one place without getting lost. All of the features are extremely intuitive, and it is a pleasure to think of a feature you'd like, only to discover it already exists!

So far, I'm really enjoying it. I had no issues syncing to Google drive once I figured out the extra few steps. I haven't bought the PC version yet (which would get me using this more) as I'm in Canada and all the dollar conversions really add up. That aside, I tried about 8 other competitors - and this is the simplest and easiest to put in ideas so far. I'm also pretty happy there is no AI clutter in here. I don't want chatgpt clogging up my mind maps. I'm quite happy so far, thank you.
