Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

EZ2 Journal reviews

I like this app, easy to use, do not need to go online, which is great and is password protected, just remember to back all the way out of the app for the password to work, if I hit home in the journal, then it doesn't use the password to get back in. The one issue I have is I tend to write lengthy journals, but when I go to review my past journals, I cannot read the entire journal, not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a limited amount of lines that I can journal. If I try to modify an earlier journal, I still cannot get to the end of what I had written. Love to know what I am doing wrong. I'm hoping everything I input is still there, if not, rating would lose a couple stars.

I like that you begin with a blank page, so you can write what ever you want. I also like when I save what I wrote the date and time is automatically added.

This is the app I've been looking for. I can journal offline with no ridiculous, arm-length list of info-mining permissions! I can go off line and add entries any time I like, and no one is monitoring my network sockets or GPS locations or taking control of my camera or accessing my contacts list. Not even a Facebook option! Finally an app I WANT! Now, why only four stars? Because folders would make it perfect, and as of now there are no compartmentalisation options. If I could create pockets or folders for, say, schooling, personal, devotional, etc., This app would be perfect.

ThinkSpace reviews

For those of you familiar with the cult favorite Tinderbox app on the Mac, this application comes the closest I’ve seen to replicating Tinderbox’s map experience. It’s not there yet — long form text can’t yet be associated with the nodes on the map. There’s no tagging outside of color. No nesting of nodes. But, it has a super simple, clean, mapping UI. Keep an eye on this one.

This is my very first review. I just spent 2 hours searching for an alternative app to draw mind maps because the one that I used is now charging a super high subscription fee. I guess the developer sacrifice efficiency for flexibility. You can organize the map in any way you want. Therefore, the cards are not automatically aligned, and you cannot create a sibling card by just press return which is a feature of other mind mapping apps. I think I can live with this small shortcoming for now. I do hope that a desktop version can be developed. I am not used to do extensive work on iPad.

- Sylvia on the road

I have been using the iOS version of Thinkspace on my iPad for a while and love it. It fills the mind-mapping app niche in a way that no other app does, so I was pleasantly suprised to see the macOS version in the App Store. The macOS 1.0.0 version seems to be a direct port of the iOS app, and the differences in the desktop versus mobile UIs are apparent. For example, zooming in and out on iOS is a simple pinch gesture that relies on the iOS touch interface. I have not found a way to zoom on the macOS version, since I do not have a multi-touch HID device such as a trackpad on my iMac. I hope to see a mouse/keyboard/menu-based way to zoom in the next update.
