I have yet to find a free mind map app that is even close to the best paid apps in quality and usability.
#MAGICALPAD IN APP PURCHASE FULL#
The apps I review are full commercial versions.Note that while I do not believe that the Mac version of Inspiration is a particularly good app, I think that the iPad implementation is among the very best. I will release separate ratings for iPad apps, but in general those programs that are especially good on the Mac tend to be especially good on the iPad.
#MAGICALPAD IN APP PURCHASE PC#
After 25 years of 40-80 hours of PC use per week, I switched to a real computer and use Macs exclusively. I do not use any of these programs on a PC. These ratings apply only to Mac software.I try not to let these interactions with nice people and arrogant people and people with crummy business models (and crummy customer support) and development geniuses color my ratings. I communicate with some of the app developers (as well as other independent reviewers) via email.The programs continuously change (most copy each new version of iMindMap after its release) and my ratings change fairly often.Learn why Buzan-style mind maps will perform far better than the “formatted outline” maps produced by many of the best selling programs before committing to one model or the other. In fact corporate outline formatting in “mind map” programs does not really produce true mind maps, but most corporate customers do not know the difference. Mine are particularly relevant for scientific, health, education, and personal use rather than corporate outline formatting. Your idea of what a great mind map app should be may differ from mine resulting in different ratings.This may or may not explain my greater willingness to differentiate sharply between the apps. Most other web sites that rank mind map apps carry advertising from at least several different producers of these programs while I do not.
