Most popular feedback for StretchPaper

This app is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I need to draw mind maps for med school, but I’m always limited by the canvas size on all the other note-taking and drawing apps. I really wanted infinite space to flesh out my ideas and just get words on paper without limits and this neat, simple little app lets me do that. I was also pleasantly surprised by the pen flow! Most expensive note-taking and drawing apps don’t have pen flow as smooth as Stretchpaper does, which is impressive given its low price. Three bucks? My daily latte costs more and does way less, delicious as it may be. Thanks to the developers for making a great app!

About StretchPaper

Stretchpaper is a novel method to sketch diagrams, take notes, and display your creative abilities. With an endless canvas, there is never a shortage of space. Stretchpaper is entertaining and practical. You can modify vectors, define your own pens, export your drawings as pictures or mega-pdfs, and more. Works well on the iPad, but the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil make it much better!

Most popular feedback for MindMeister

it is very easy and flexible. It allows changes in the herarchies that can be done very easily. The use of keyboard to create new connections and herarchies is very useful. You can also add ideas, icons or highlight with colors the ideas. It has a free version that can be used with no time limit. The canvas is infinite so it allows very big diagrams.

StretchPaper reviews

Love this app! Use it when I’m planning out stuff in my business. One drawback for me has been when the file becomes too large it takes a long time to load. Running an iPad Pro so the device shouldn’t be the issue. Still use it, just try not to let the it get too big.

This seemed like a great app purchase, but unfortunately the app itself is a exercise in frustration. While an infinitely scalable sketch pad is an amazing concept— one I desperately need for my iPad Pro— this app misses the mark in several ways. First, it ditches the intuitive control and ease of the Apple Pencil for its own drawing UI and response curve. Second, the scaling is maddeningly frustrating as line thickness is impossible to keep consistent as one must invariably zoom when scrolling around the document. (A Zoom Lock feature would seem like a no brainer) What is more, settings such as line thickness and color are basically random as to whether they will stay applied one you select them. I often found myself switching without warning from a blue line to a green line and back without any logical reason. Third, the individual controls lack harmonious integration with Apple simplicity; while other apps allow for a simple tap on/tap off of individual tools, this app leaves a tools always on unless you specifically select a different tool (and even then that no guarantee the switch will take). Add to all this the lack of an easily accessible user guide, a lack of a straight edge (seriously?) and a steep learning curve I cannot in god conscience recommend this app to anyone. A frustrating waste of $3.

App is amazing. It is straight forward and easy to use. Love the infinite canvas as that is what i was looking for. I found a few other apps that have infinite canvas but they all lack ease of use and simple tasks that are imperative for taking notes. So far great app. SIDE NOTE: I am having an issue with a bug. For some strange reason sometimes the notes shift slightly and what was once fully highlighted in a certain color or pointed to with a line for a label tends to be offset. So in other words something is causing notes/coloring/labels to shift just slightly. This can be annoying and can cause issues especially with labeling and highlighting. Can the developer take a look? From what I can tell, it happens when i reopen notes after some time. I do move the screen a lot using my fingers but apparently haven’t been able to pinpoint it. Please do check this out.

MindMeister

Pros
I had a boss who liked to use mind mapping software but I never understood why until I tried it with MindMeister
MindMeister makes it so easy to create great looking mind maps as well as diagrams
There are many tools available but the mindmaps by MindMeister seems to be the perfect fit
The concept of mindmaps with connections make the task easy and effective
Really easy to get the hang of
I love the ability to add notes and attachments in my maps
I use mind map to manage my web projects for years
And MindMeister is a great tool for me to manage my projects and fulfill my "co-work" needs."
Cons
My students sometimes have problems retireving maps - especially if they have started a map and only worked on it for a few minutes
The only annoying detail i've come across so far is that formatting is lost when undoing a move, which i'm sure is fixable in future updates
The only thing I do not like is the way connections between separate ideas are drawn: those green lines look hideous and are pretty inconvenient to use
When I was invoiced another 12-months, I requested a refund advising that I had forgot to cancel they refused
As a small business we are now out of pocket for something we aren't going to use."
