Oovium Mind Mapper

I was looking for a small app for mind mapping and found this little gem after reading reviews of various options The Ovium Mind Mapper has the most positive reviews So I spent the 499 USD and started using it Initially it was a bit confusing But finally just by trial and error I got the hang of it To create the basic blocks you use the tool on the top right corner to set the color and the shape of the blocks After you create these blocks to move them around you need to use anchoring that is keep touching any blockcomponent with your left finger and you use your right finger to move any block around When you want to edit the color or the shape you need to use the anchoring again This time you keep your left finger touch one block then using your right finger you can touch a block that you want to edit A menu will appear where you have the option to change the shape color or to delete the block The color will change after you release your left finger It is a bit tricky but I really like it Then to set the relationship touch any block and a menu appear on the lower right corner You can toggle from input to output of the block that you selected Then you touch all the input blocks and the lines will appear with an animated directional dot I wish they just simply put a directional arrow Then toggle to the output and touch any blocks that would be the output and lines will connect them with an animated directional dots The only thing that I have not figure out is how to print or to save it as a PDF file that then I can send it and insert it into a slide deck I highly recommend this small application Thanks for creating one Please add the missing printing and the export functionality                 Very nice mind mapping software with a novel flexible excellent user interface

I like this mindmap app more than any other Ive tried so far but what really excites me is the potential it shows Any additional improvements will only make it better The addition of documentation would be very valuable but I assume that its on the way The app is very fluid to use and very flexible I cant say that it is overwhelmingly intuitive but one run through the builtin tutorial and I had all the basics down Between the tutorial the additional help menu info including the piece about anchoring and a little bit of trial and error Im an Oovium MindMapper wizard Two features Id like to see are the ability to export as a PDF and to be able to pinch and zoom for an overall picture of my map The Dropbox integration however makes up for the lack of PDF functions And its super easy to drag the screen around to see whatever area of the map I need to see The only thing that still baffles me is the function of the farright button in the top right menu              Good already great potential

I love everything about this app except that it doesnt have a pass code lock If the developers added this feature I would gladly change to a 5 star              Good but needs one thing

The interface is clean and well thought out You can select a grouping of boxes simply by drawing a circle around them this allows making grouped changes of box color and shape In a snap I also strongly desire some form of pinchzoom even if it would restrict making changes during altview state The screen size limitation of the iPhone makes pinchzoomalt view a must I give it 4 stars Give us zoom features in an upcoming update and you earned 5 stars              I agree with Mamaduckie

Works really well in a class for visually mapping text elements concepts and social systems Displays with VGA The look is smart and engaging Some aspects have a learning curve it took me a little while to figure out that Gallery saves the map to your Photos for example Also the support option took me to a very elaborate user forum required me to register and then informed me I was not authorized to post Oh well Still a great app a lot smarter than the average                 Great for educators

I can now visualize just how scary my thoughts are                 Very slick
