Review on MindMaster by Donnie Boss

Revainrating 1 out of 5

MindMapper is a free mind mapping program that allows users to create mind maps.

This tool is pretty neat! It does exactly what it says it does. I'm just not sure why they call it MindMapper when it looks and acts much more like MS Office. MindMap is a great name because it gives me a mental image of what this software does. MindMapper however is a little confusing and difficult to navigate. I am able to create a mindmap but it doesn't seem to allow me to edit any of the maps. Once I save the map, it closes and won't open again unless I reinstall the software. I'm unable to add shapes or arrows to the map. I cannot select text within the map, but if I copy it, I can paste it anywhere. If I highlight something in the document, I cannot change its properties (like color) or move it. So, in essence, I have a bunch of shapes with a background color and a few words that are stuck together. That's about it. I would recommend this product for someone who is looking for a mind mapping tool, but is looking for a little more power than Microsoft offers.
