iThoughtsX is an Awesome Application!

I have used this software for years. I love it.

Initially, I was merely intrigued by the term “mind mapping.” So I started digging around, and I found that there were several choices of mindmapping software available. The notion of organizing my thoughts with a visual component intrigued me. I decided to give it a try.

iThoughts was available for both my Macbook Pro and for my iOS devices. Also, it was visually appealing and was sold in the Apple App Store. So iThoughtsX (then without the “X”) got the nod.

This software is awesome. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve, but not much. Soon I was using this colorful app to brainstorm ideas. The visual element made brainstorming fun and created a permanent record of my ideas. It even helped me to generate ideas more freely and to see connections between ideas that wouldn’t have been obvious otherwise. I’m convinced that adding the visual element is not only attractive and fun, but that it actually facilitates and improves the results of the brainstorming process.

I am very glad that I chose iThoughts in particular. A little pricy, yes, but well worth it, and on sale by 20% at the App Store as of this date. Craig Scott, the designer of this app, never stops working on and improving it. He’s also very open to fielding questions and comments from users and listening to ideas on how to improve the software.

Craig gives you a trial period to check out iThoughtsX, so if you decide that mindmapping or this particular app is not for you, simply return it for a refund.

By the way, if you prefer to work on an iOS device, the corresponding iThoughts app is only $9.99.
