I downloaded Mindscope recently and I m hooked I keep finding more and more uses for it and have a ton of stuff on it already It s very easy to keep records make lists arrange ideas etc I decided to purchase all the features and I m glad I did Making charts graphs and calendars for various uses is a piece of cake with the grid backgrounds Mind mapping brainstorming and keeping track of anything is what Mindscope does It can really help you get organized in your thinking and in your life The ability to have endless subfolders is very cool and allows me to not get lost in the details and keep my mind on the big picture I really appreciate all the work the developer has put into this app and how useful has become in my life I started using it for work every day and it is proving to be quite helpful It s also fun to use Give it try You ll be glad you did To the developer 1 Thank you Super job 2 Please keep updating this app 3 Suggestions It would be great if I could change the color of each entry Having different colors for each entry would add a lot to the already great visual aid Mindscope is rich text formatting would be nice too Adding pictures would be a great addition and make Mindscope even more useful Increasing the size of the page workspace would also be wonderful infinite zoom Again thank you I m really looking forward to more updates God bless                     Simple Easy Useful Awesome suggestions Reviewergrr

Free to download but must purchase to unlock     Must pay to use basic functions Eman27

I m using an iPhone SE iOS 11 whenever I open the app is just closes itself         Crashes when I open it Haxordude487

Update to the update V1 5 comes along and rocks my world again I LOVE this app Apple please buy it Check it out and especially check it out if you have a Bluetooth keyboard You can navigate the entire app with the keyboard and it feels wonderful to use Again I don t have a relationship with this developer and I am soooo grateful for his work If you love information management you must have this app on your iPad Update OK to add to my review below the developer is amazingly responsive This update has two specific features I asked for a few days ago What a turnaround time I love this app This is EXACTLY what I ve been hoping for How in all that is holy did this just pop up on my radar I love outliners as that s how my brain works but they re only somewhat visual Every item has the same appearance even though two items may have the same parent child relationship but have a dramatic difference in importance to me This creates noise that s not easy to filter out unless I curate what s in the outline but I need to collect all types of information regardless of importance The differences in context importance creates a need for a way to visually draw out thoughts on a canvas without losing the hierarchy and ability to drill down into sub levels You ve done this brilliantly Workflowy is an example of an amazing outliner but suffers from the issue I refer to above Evernote Simplenote etc are great but there is no structured way to make a visual relationship This app reminds me of Tinderbox which is close to what I need but not a mobile app Also TheBrain which is awesome on the desktop but also suffers from no offline support If I could get search I will dump my entire life in here I so need to send your mother flowers for having you                     Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Super Critic

Arrows and lines should be basic functionality     You have to pay 8 to get arrows and lines larryw09

A larger canvas would make it much easier to use while in split view                 Great with one request SpikeBill

This latest and greatest update was worth the wait All the issues now resolved Mindscope is better than ever Love this app I also use Scapple and Tinderbox and this ranks in that group of mind tools for me GreatJob                     Fantastic mind mapping and notes tool ever Akos11

I like it Very clean If you could create well formed OPML output with this it would make a great tool for creating Tinderbox content Unfortunately currently your OPML is not well formed Hope you can fix that                 Tinderbox from Eastgate ios version Prenez

Love the abstract quality of this Also easy to use Great start please continue to update                     Great Start KJ1978

Got updated with BT support plus some other fancy things No complaints here anymore                     Bluetooth Keyboard Support KillerBananaer

I will try to keep short as it s a first review after a precursory glance on the app Incl this app my iPhone 6 has 1 145 apps installed with 2GB roughly free this tends to slows my apps down considerably and also causes them to quit or hang Not so with Mindscope Great sign So beyond the speed of entry and reliability what else for a mindmapping app to recommend that makes it stand out in a sea of many others with similar features more or less For me it was the ability to use or flow through mind mapping in a more intuitive and faster process It s kind of interesting because even though I enjoy the conventionality of bubbles around nodes etc this basically does away with it and leaves the nodes more free form and maneuverable It s fun to use and reminded me of another fav app that now is sadly no longer available iMandalArt In such a fashion it gets you to step through the nodes with a trail up top on the page so you can navigate and while that probably speeds up the entire app Vs having so many elements on a page to keep displaying it also is a cleaner and more logical way to use mind maps IMHO One other feature that is unique and a reason to get this app is the ability to take your map and export as a bulleted list This isn t offered on most apps and I d been looking for such an option for a while now on the iOS scene This allows you to free form mind map but then still be able to set up a todo style list that is a little easier to work off should you for e g be brainstorming for a project mindmap and then executing bullet list on that note NOTE TO DEV I was able to successfully export the provided map as a bulleted list on email as tested option but somehow this wasn t able to execute on native app notes which I found strange as notes app does allow rich text display I haven t tried other options I had like Evernote or other text based processor etc but for now will copy off email draft if needed Therefore 1 please explain fix bulleted list export for native iOS notes as I think it s a significantly used app for most esp with its useful updates etc 2 please consider upcoming features to include linking to native iOS calendar reminders and thereby providing ability to schedule alarms tasks Granted not easy and not best use case for app but as I see it a logical extension of an app I d be using to pen down thoughts plans etc In SUMMARY So this is already long enough and really it all came down to the basics for me to review it positively as it s speed and reliability for me it does have plenty more options to check out so go for it you really won t regret it provided you know what it does and what it does not                     SPEEDY RELIABLE GET FULL VERSION NO REGRETS -MZK-

This app is simple to use but helps me keep track of complicated projects The in app purchases are absolutely worth the money                     Exactly what I was hoping for Julsida

I like this app a lot It is simple and to the point The idea of touching a node to open a new screen is different from other mind mapping apps and challenges me to see my concept in a somewhat different way                     ToThePoint Upsidedown8

Best mind mapping and organizational app out there at least for me The developer is working on adding notifications which I m super stoked about Keep it up                     SOLID APP ychonker

I ve been using Scapple on my PC for note taking and was looking for an iOS version and found this instead Great for organising and nesting ideas Super easy to use Does exactly what I want I sprang for the full version At a whopping 5 it s totally worth it                     Exactly what I needed shydacat

Mindscope is an intriguing and usable app for brainstorming note taking and visual thinking A nice implementation of blending mind mapper outliner and notepad It reminds me of the great early PC application Axon Idea Processor Please provide us with some updates and new features to make this app even better and more usable                     A Nice Implementation wfwjg

On the outside this looks like my Scapple that I love so much I have a new iPad This doesn t work with my keyboard and it keeps pushing me to a new page when I want to edit Frustrating I m done     Not what I was hoping for TH.MiniLover

This is a great organization app but sorely lacks any sync functionality like Dropbox which will probably drive many potential users away             No Sync cuharv

I can t stop using this app Great combination of note taking mind mapping list making and brainstorming Folks familiar with the dump and sort method of design thinking or creative problem solving will intuitively understand how to use Mindscope in their workflow Great job on the interaction design It s a pleasure to move things around drag and drop zoom out redo and don t get me started on the click and drag capability for selecting multiple items Thanks so much for building this I ll update the review after I purchase the extra features                     Do your brain a favor and download this app Michael Duah, Value Detective

Downloaded today can t add any entries I try both double tapping and long press A text box appears for about 0 2 sec and then disappears before I can type anything     Doesn t work Rhdcibhe

I ve had Mediascope for a few days now and I find it to be an excellent text based mindmap app It has a clear design that makes it easy to start doing useful work I m sure its users will come up with many uses I use it to create a mindmap of to dos that I want to keep track of but am not yet ready to put them in my calendar with a date and a time It s easy to create and move my items around the mindmap as I do my planning just by touching them and moving them to where I want I like that I can export via OPML a data standard recognized by many outliners and other mindmap apps Mediascope is welcome addition to my life guidance system In future updates I d like to suggest two possibilities the ability to assign individual colors to any word or letter in the mindmap Second to be able to export any individual mindmap element into iCal I recommend Mediascope to anyone wanting to organize information in a visual manner Excellent app UPDATE I ve now been using Mindscope for about ten months And still find it to be a very useful part of my planning process It is unbelievably fluid to revise extend and combine them About a week ago I migrated all my mindmaps off of my old iPad and on to my new iPad Pro I emailed each separate mindmap to myself downloaded and imported all 22 mindmaps into the new installation It was cumbersome but it worked Perhaps the developer will provide a more elegant migration method in a future upgrade At this point my biggest concern is that the developer hasn t updated the app in a year I hope this isn t the first step on the road to obsolescence However the big picture is that Mindscope is an excellent mindmapping program that I use almost every day                     Fluid clear and effective Rbwyatt

Lack of external keyboard support is a total deal breaker for me I have the new iPad Pro Pencil and Smart keyboard I have to disconnect from the keyboard to use the app As such I have no plans to use the app until this is fixed I would like to see better integration with the Apple pencil as well honestly I haven t tried this because of the keyboard issue If you are not using the Smart keyboard with the iPad pro or pencil the app seems really good which is why I at least gave it 3 stars             No IOS 9 keyboard support Jamdalu

I just found this treasure and can t wait to enter all of my plot bunnies 2do s and notes for work Hoping for continued updates like inserting images as mentioned plus storage backup or exporting and handwriting instead of having to type such as noteshelf or notability too much Happy to pay extra Love this app so far it is very well thought out and executed                     Fantastic tool farwyn;)

Has the visual organization features of both Tinderbox and Scapple Entries become containers for other entries Beautifully designed with no window dressing All the visual options and animations signal information Cross linking to common containers is really valuable Hoping for iCloud or Dropbox synching                     Tinderbox meets Scapple on the iPad FreeCell

This is an amazing app it is clear and simple yet powerful Get this app                     Great App nkabram

I really like the direction this app is going I m looking forward to more This is mind mapping the way I like it                     Terrific start ChrisWRXSTI

Extremely useful tool for creatives I like that you can drill down into ideas to develop them and mind map at any level too Looking forward to adding photos and would like to have the ability to use different fonts too                     Simple Beauty Frogzen

Perfect way to brainstorm and organize I like it                     Simple and nice Traditional Outline

I don t write reviews Had to on this app Best Note List Mind Map App ever 10 Stars                     Best App Ever GeoWright1947

Valuable functionality requires an upgrade which would be fine if I could Enterprise iPad users such as I however often have in app upgrade capability locked off Initial purchase is enabled by my employer but in app is not So a pro version is a more flexible approach to tiered functionality In the meantime I m unable to pay for that which I happily would                     Frustrating in app only upgrades Yooj 22

So far I like the program It is helping me organize my thoughts for exams I wish I could insert images however next version perhaps                 Good way to organize info for exams Traveler28

Free form fluid and easy to use Quick to learn Clean and non fussy interface creates an enjoyable experience Looking forward to the upcoming features Will you please consider iphone and web based apps for syncing across platforms Was glad o pay 5 to help fund development                     Intuitive Clean and Easy Interface Kitman1

This nifty app is part of my main tools now after a couple of weeks I am using it I love its flexibility and ease of use It has still some user unfriendliness in its touch interface design I activate links unwillingly a bit too often However I can live with it The pros outweights by far this rough edge                     It works my way Perdamun

This is an amazing potentially game changer app I ve owned most mapping apps out there out there but as other users have noted they tend to focus too much on style over substance This gets you focused on the board immediately in front and no more no less With a few more tweaks and the upcoming iPhone sync I can see this completely taking over even more established services like Workflowy Keep up the good work                     Great kard32

Very cool Easy to use and organize thinking notes ideas and much more Custom grids add an extra dimension for helping visually with the distinct areas of your layout and wide range of uses Colors and lines are another plus Very usable and looking to become my main app Can t wait for an iPhone app hopefully with cloud sync                     Love the simplicity and elegance sharpening

I ve been looking for a program that would cover more of my needs for pre writing my books and have found nearly everything in Mindscope Combination mindpapper outliner and organized filing system Mindscope allows me to flesh out characters play with character choice and consequence outline chapters and so much more I love it The only things I d wish for as an improvement would be the ability to add pictures The ability to change font and font color beyond monochromatic and a version that would sync with Windows No complaints though I m grateful for the amazing app I ve got                     Nearly Perfect Fit Raine G.
