Review on IOctopus by Charles Collier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Mind mapping is a simple and effective method of organizing ideas.

I am happy with the outcome. I was skeptical about having a mind map online. But I was surprised how easy it is to use and navigate. It is nice to have a way to collaborate on the project without having to share my desktop. I like that it's possible to create multiple maps in parallel. The fact that they can be shared between people and view them on the go is great too. And the fact that the file itself is stored safely in the cloud, makes it even better. You can easily add comments and draw attention to certain parts of the mindmap. For example, I added notes to a section of the document and sent it to another person. I can save a link to the map. That makes it convenient when collaborating with colleagues. I think it's a great tool to structure information before starting writing. I love the tool!

Pros
  • It's a web-based service, so you don't have to download anything and it runs in your browser.
  • You can use this as many times as you want.
Cons
  • The process is very slow when saving or exporting.
  • The UI is not as intuitive as other software packages.
