This is sort of a cute app, but VERY half-baked. Certainly not worth $3.99. * The graphics are terrible. The lines shimmer and flicker on both the iphone and the ipad 2. It would give me a headache to look at this app for more than about 3 minutes * The user interface is clunky. The Big Idea is 3 dimensions and all of the gestures are devoted to somewhat pointlessly moving nodes in 3 dimensions. However, the basic task of getting information into slots is very 1990s -- you do everything through a menu. There are no gestures for entering or changing nodes or rearranging them because all the screen gestures are taken up by moving the nodes around in three dimensions. So don't imagine that you can grab a node and move it. You click it, click menu, click copy, click done, click the other node, click paste, select child option, click done, That gets really clunky after a node or two. * And what do your three dimensions get you? You can flip a set of nodes completely around so that you are looking at their backs. BUT, you can't edit the back. So flipping the nodes around is completely pointless. All in all this is a One Big Idea app which is poorly done in the basics (entering text, moving nodes) and which doesn't exploit the Big Idea for all its worth.

Beautiful interface that is intuitive enough, though perhaps weak or unintuitive in a few areas, such as dragging and dropping tasks from one container to another. Also it seems to lack style templates that automatically applies styles at different levels, so even though you can apply beautiful styles to each task or container, you have to manually apply reformatting to each time you create one (there is a copy feature but that seems unintuitive). I was going to give the app 4 stars, but just as I was getting the hang of the application and getting some data put in, the application crashed and (apparently) lost 30 minutes of work. There is a Save As feature but no Save button. Given that, I am giving up on this application, but if you choose to keep using, please make periodic exports of your work. Among competitors, Idea Sketch is workable but feature limited, mostly too weak for my needs. iThoughts has great user ratings but is more expensive than Headspace. But an application that loses work isn't worth cost effective at any price.

I like what this app is trying to do...to allow one to make outlines of sorts in "space." The colors and ideas are great. However, I actually find it unpleasant to try to use. The use of the accelerometer in this situation seems to make it more difficfult to use rather than help. The lists move erractically around the screen, and this movement is a problem. It also takes a lot of fingers to get things done, and if I lie down in bed to look at things the orientation gets all screwy. I think the feel that works better for me is the excellent scheme used by the mahjong game Moonlight. It is elegant, simple, and stable on the screen. I find myself fighting this program to be able to see my content. It's too much work and not very user-friendly in that sense. I did restart the iPhone to make sure it was not a memory problem and it wasn't. This app has great potential...if nothing else I'd like the option to turn off the use of the accelerometer. Even better would be a scheme that doesn't require three fingers for simple moves and doesn't use the accelerometer. On yes, when the app does shift around on the screen from side to side, it is in the opposite direction than I expected. It doesn't line up easily.
