Good App - Great Technical Support

This app is worth the $8. I like that it exports out to so many different Mind Mapping Software extentions and PDF. Some great features that would be nice is the ability to link project files to other project files. Also a true export function would be preferred that you could send in your own e-mail or sync to a computer, as another user pointed out, I would not be comfortable exporting anything that may be confidential, but for general brainstorming it works great.Had an issue recently where could not send my files to myself, due to having a "/" in the project name, spent a couple of days corresponding with Tenero on the problem, but it sounds like it has been resolved. If this app allowed me to export locally to sync or out of my personal e-mail, I would have given this app 5 for 5 stars, but otherwise it is a nice app.

I have been using iBlueSky since its early days on the iPhone. Works great on the newest iPad Pro as well. Went to seek support and the website won’t open and can’t find any option for next steps. Andrew are you still working on this project or open to getting it to a developer who would?

Not as elegant, but progress!

Latest Update: finally some enhancements arrive and credit is deserved by the developers. However, the simple elegance of the original version of iBlueSky is not replicated in the new features. Were the new features developed by a different person? For example, too many steps to get to a note. Also, on a crowded map it is difficult to tell which node the "T" (indicating text for the note) refers to. Other mind mapping programs handle the note function more effectively. I raised my overall grade to four stars, and hope the developers continue the improvements, and maintain the elegance of their original concept throughout all of iBlueSky's features!Original review: I use mind mapping extensively and (until now) had not found a substitute for my Moleskine journal at times when laptop use was inconvenient. The world changed when I found iBlueSky! Easy to use and manipulate branches, my spare moments have become productive! I create mini-maps and then email them to myself for inclusion into my larger X-Mind maps on my laptop. iBlueSky is an impressive program I recommend highly. I have purchased iThoughts as well, but found it more difficult to use... too much time spent in the mechanics of the program as compared with input creativity.... Go with iBlueSky, it's worked very well for me.

Incredible for self-therapy, too.

I use this program all the time. Not just for projects, but for introspection, too. When I have a gnawing doubt, or am conflicted over a choice... you know how it goes.It's wonderful and elegant, and they send you tutorials. How can you lose?It's also a paradigm shift. No more outlines, for example. It also just "feels" right - the bubbles look a lot like the neurons in your head; so that makes sense.I haven't had it for long but I'm already starting to rely on it more and more. No telling what uses I'll get out of it.Kind of like when clocks first showed up. At first they were just tinker toys. But - believe it or not - there's a direct connection between clocks and the industrial revolution. Tinkering with those toys started giving us a lot of ideas...

- Fix for a crash when importing projects - Links between branches are now exported/imported correctly
