AYOA - Mind Mapping

authentic rating

AYOA (formerly iMindMap, formerly DropTask) has a tangled history: it started as a mind map tool by Tony Buzan, then task management was added, and now both coexist. The mobile client lags far behind the web version: some features are unavailable, Apple Pencil performs poorly, and new users often hit a white screen on first launch.

About the rating

1,032 ratings, storeAvg 4.62, textAvg 3.76, pct5 53%. Moderate gap. Mixed reviews with specifics: white screen on launch, a limited iOS client compared to the web version, weak Apple Pencil support. A credible picture.

Strengths

What users love

  • A visually organic map in the signature iMindMap style: branches are curved and hand-drawn rather than straight lines. The map looks like a real mind map
  • Not a flowchart.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • The mobile client is a stripped-down copy of the web version. Menus and features available in the browser are missing in the app
  • And users discover this only after buying a subscription.

Who it is for

Users who value the organic visual style of classic iMindMap and are comfortable working primarily through the web version.
