Pros and cons of Popplet app for iPhone and iPad

Popplet app good for

I like Mindmapping and tried many tools, but Popplet is my favorite. Great look & feel, all functions available with one click and not overloaded. I have only 2 wishes: Please enable real sync between iPad and Web & give us some features for handwriting in popple with different pen sizes. Thank you for this innovative app.
Thanks for this great app. Whatever idea I have in mind, with this app Im so quick in creating graphs!! This app is rely amazing.
Easy to use and with a surprising number of features. This is the closest app Ive found that brings mind mapping into the digital realm. Fast, easy, ability to import images AND add text within the same cell, simple pencil tool lets you draw your own images within the program, colour coded cells and an intuitive way to join cells as well as resize them. I look forward to new features being added. Popplet is on the right track.
This is a fantastic brainstorming and mind-mapping tool. Its highly usable, and quick to enter and work with notes. The developers are very responsive, and focussed on making this best-in-class. Highly recommended!
If you need to brainstorm or organize any ideas for any kind of project this app is for you. Very easy to navigate and move around in. And a very good bargain for the price. Easily worth 9.99$. Love it! Cant wait to see what new features they come up with.
As an engineer, who uses visio for engineering planning/brainstorming diagrams, I found Popplets interface user friendly, and enhances productivity. If only, they can add import, export options into other formats, that would make it my application of choice!

Some bad moments

L app é carina, intuitiva e ... scarna! Solo poppet quadrati/rettangolari. Solo linee di unione, non si possono neanche creare frecce. E naturalmente niente linee curve. L export in jpg ha una risoluzione ridicola, inutilizzabile in altri ambiti!! Tre app is nice and easy. Too much simple though. Only straight lines are created, you cant use arrows, or curved lines. Only rectangular poppets... Export in jpg results in a super low resolution image , unusable elsewhere...
Popplet is a brilliant idea that came from a not so smart people: They dont respond their customers demands, that want to pay more for more Popplets.
This app was wonderful when it was first introduced, but has grown more useless with time. I have lost multiple projects and I am thoroughly discussed with it! I am about to remove it from my apps (sadly) because every time I try to use it my experience ends in disappointment. Too bad, this was a great app and idea that was ruined by neglect and false promises from a third rate developer. It is obvious the developer has dropped support and further development. This purchase was a huge ripoff! It cost me countless hours of lost work and I should have known better to put my stock in this amateur tool! Buyer beware!!!! This is a huge waste of money and time! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF TRASH!!!!!
You should integrate with Dropbox. It makes easyer to share and safe to store and backup our work. The app has potential, but Im concerned about puting important things on it. Export as image or pdf is not enough. I can lose everything with the iPad. Its fun to play, but useless for serious job.
Hope to see this fixed soon-- too small for my eyes on the new IPad retina display.
Still great potential! But dont hold your breath! I WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE PAID VERSION! I really thought this had what I was looking for! It did for 2 steps: Opening > creating the 1st Popplet! The way theyve coded it (par example: selecting/ editing/... Manipulating text, the poplets themselves{!}). Makes for a very stuttered interaction in most every direction you try to drive this app, resulting in an unfortunate, untenable experience that fosters DISTRACTION. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT IT CRASHES (again)... THATS WHEN YOULL SUDDENLY FIND YOURSELF PRESSING ITS ICON, HOLDING... DELETE, and realising a sense of SATISFACTION IN THE ONE THING Popplet DOES WELL... LEAVING YOUR IPAD!
