I have bought it but not worked with it for long yet. My instant snap judgement: It looks like the best mind mapping functionality on iPhone so far, but a slightly cumbersome user interface - that's a common reaction most people have to new software :-) It's occasionally unresponsive to gestures, I found. I downloaded a FreeMind map (124 nodes) to it and it handled it surprisingly well. It has the nodes in place all the time, but keeps redrawing the edges. This is a shame because it's slow to draw them as I scroll around the map. Some of the lines crossed behind nodes, but it was usable. The download process is a novel approach, and it works. BTW I got caught out by the name at one point. There's another app with almost the same name (iThought) in the iTunes store. Vic Thanks for the tip about iThoughts.

I think it's an improvement on iBlueSky in terms of usage too.
