I have been looking for something to replace the tons of paper notebooks that I was generating for work and personally. I started with the Apple iPad pro first gen. I did everything I was looking to do my I learned that I needed the friction of the paper as writing on glass was just not satisfying form me. I sold my IPad and purchased a reMarkable. This just does one thing (takes notes) but it does it really well. But I had to wait for 6 months for the newest model V2. I could not wait so after massive research I was getting a lot of good news about the 2020 IPad pro, I was also seeing a lot of good reviews about paperlike. I all my research I could not find anyone reviewing this thinks that was over 35 years old. I needed someone that is using the IPad as a professional. Then on a Sunday morning, I can across one of your videos. I am now subscribed. what a breath of fresh air. I have been looking for reviews that relate to a professional and not a college kid. Note-taking, planning and task management, as well as this mind mapping video, have been great!! THANKS!!!

[@zulhilminajmi8560]

I had a 10th gen iPad kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.

[@ben.morris]

Incredibe!! Please create a whole series on Miro. This app is a must for remote teams. Thank you Tom!

[@podratic]

This mind mapping tool is mind-blowing. The ability to add video is truly amazing!

[@teachershahira9233]

As someone who has been trying for years to incorporate Tony Buzan’s mindmapping skills into digital note-taking, this app, found through your video, is the answer to my needs. Four years late, but a sincerely big THANK YOU and please keep ip the good work! Subbed :)

I just begin my journey with pencil on iPad and was looking exactly for such functionality! Thank you for sharing, I had MIRO on my old mindmap list but from iPad/Pencil perspective there is different set of expecations!

[@marninanorys611]

You know what? I just realized from watching this a second time that you not only sold me on this app, but you also sold me on the iPad pro with pencil. I was shopping for tablets last night and I realize now this was the last video I watched before biting the bullet and ordering a new device from Apple.

[@esmepretorius6547]

This is indeed exactly what I’ve been looking for 8 years. Thank you so much.

[@ingmarbm]

I just started using this for a start-up, partially because of your recommendation and description of it, and I must say it's really nice to collaborate on and it's so incredibly flexible. Extremely nice tool. Bravo to the makers! And especially nice to work on with a pencil.

[@myra9385]

Toll, jetzt bin ich innerhalb von 8 Minuten schockverliebt in eine neue App! Wie genial ist das denn bitte?! Ich muss das unbedingt für meine Unterrichtsvorbereitung testen!

[@paperlessmovement]

Haha, danke Meli! Freut mich, dass dir gefällt. Solltest du tiefer in Miro für Creative Research und Mind Mapping einsteigen wollen, dann habe ich hier einen Kurs für dich der wird dich umhauen was alles mit Miro möglich ist :D www.paperlessmovement.com/join-inner-circle/#courses

[@Valleedbrume]

I think you found the perfect Mind Mapping Application.The subscription model is the only turn off that I see.

[@hishamsaab2169]

found this by chance, been looking for an app like this for a long time, thank you so much for sharing

[@katerinapowick9730]

Thank you so much! My mind is slightly on the Aspie/ ADHD side of things and mind-mapping helps me tremendously! This is exactly what I have been looking for!

[@HenrikVGroth]

Thank God i have also tried a lot of software that was not so intuitive, i got lost in learning. This is a mindblowing revelation for me. thank you 💫

[@markforrest881]

2 years late to the party…Thank You! Just what I was looking for.

[@mena94x3]

Can you do these same things on Nebo or Notability? If not, what can this do that they can’t, or vice-versa? By the way, which do you prefer, Nebo or Notability?

[@peterxyz3541]

AGREE!!! I have not found a Mind Map tool that felt right. I’ll try this one! Thanks

[@mirzasohailhussain]

Wow exactly i was looking for this kind of app. Thank u so much !!! I purchased many different apps but they were good for graphics designing but not for mind mapping… thank u

[@apollosroberts9254]

I had to subscribe, your an awesome teacher,I learnt so much on the first pass. Watched 3 videos already and now I'm excited to accomplish after seeing your productivity revelations, thank you.nebo ,miro here I come

[@paperlessmovement]

Awesome! Welcome to the Paperless Movement!

[@Penwiggle]

This is perfect! I’ve downloaded it and am being productive in less than 10 minutes.

[@SamPandiangan]

Thank you very much for sharing this. I indeed have been searching for mind mapping app for the last 3 years and have spent hundreds bucks for one time purchase and subscription to my regrets and frustration. 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@pascal0868]

Monthly subscription. No purchasing option. No thanks.

[@dodger1x]

Pascal 0 it´s free... it does have a paid subscription but it´s not needed

[@alexanderfriedrich3700]

The really good stuff is never free and needs to be further developed continually by industry experts, it simply wound work out if its free or with an onetime fee :) I am glad to pay for a great service like miro!

[@soulbreeda]

@@alexanderfriedrich3700 Good point

[@henrikasteberg1218]

Miro is a fantastic tool and great for cooperation! I did my bachelor project at a design firm where they used Miro and I have been using it myself since then :)

[@paperlessmovement]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@douglasc920]

Great review Tom. I’ve been hunting for which is best and my search is over. Thank you

[@Patrick76399]

Why do we have to group the handwriting with the sticky note for it to stay on top? The point of writing on top is for it to stay on top so why doesn’t the app automatically group it?

[@wh0tube]

Thanks so much for the in-depth review🙏 I’ve just bought a pencil 2 and been so disappointed in not finding a mind mapping software that can do what I assumed was the obvious use case! Why can’t you hand write in the box and have it convert to text? Why can’t they use the Scribble function? Don’t make me go write my own app! 😁

[@tbird4811]

Thank you. You short circuited a search and try rabbit hole I was dreading. I think this is going to work very well for my purposes.

[@VichoBandido]

Thanks for the video.The tool looks great, particularly for its flexibility of design and layout, rearranging blocks and including such wide array of item types. The tool looks much more geared toward process mapping and infographics design rather than mind mapping. Why? well, let's see: Arguably the tool does help graphically represent ideas and concepts, but in my opinion, it missed a crucial point of mind mapping - quick and seamless capture/input of information during brainstorming. I still use Freemind for this very reason - ideas can be captured and rearranged extremely quickly, which helps think as you build the map. It took you several seconds to add a the first few boxes to the screen and then you had to put the pen down and type the text in. Also the sticky note needing to be grouped with the inking text.... these are key shortcomings. I'd like to see the following behaviour. I handwrite an idea on the page - text or drawing - and the machine puts bubble around automagically. I write a second idea and the same thing happens, either connecting ideas automagically or I connected the ideas with a stroke of the pen. that's it.... if they can add this behaviour then it would be the ultimate mind mapping tool. Actually there are other (interpret my handwriting into typed text, and quick disconnection of blocks would both be high on the backlog).

[@paperlessmovement]

This would be great if this would become available! Maybe we can do something like this withe the iPadOS 14 update 👍

[@chinarut]

wow - thx 4 sharing this find! I get my iPad pro tmrw & just watching u work w the pencil w this app makes me really happy I followed my gut & ordered a pencil :) I got introduced to Mindjet back in 2004, dabbled w Freemind, liked how XMind had a stable port to Linux and now you've opened up *a lot* of possibilities w sticky notes because I am a huge Business Model Canvas fan & now really curious what it's going to be like to facilitate these w the pencil! and for completeness, TheBrain has technically stuck around the longest & curious if they have invested in an iPadOS app as I found their focus has been on the desktop for 2 decades now!

[@malcolmgoodwin2135]

I use MindGenius and love the ability to export a mind map to office 365 eg word, PowerPoint . Does this software have this capability? How is export handled? Can it import different mindmap ?

[@broquitos]

Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@wwbim]

To me, MIRO is like Whimsical, more of a flowchart tool with some mind map capability. They do a lot on multimedia support and freely movable parts. They can't compare with mind map tools like MindMaster/XMind/MindMeister. Especially the formatting & organization, and the ability to one click reorganize to a different type of mind map (which I like a lot but others may not). I think they have a totally different work style to suit different types of people. I will stick to MindMaster as its map format are very well organized, also cross-platform and has a desktop version, many map types & existing templates, free plan more usable, also has a perpetual plan, and with desktop version templates you can actually use many paid map types with just free plan.

For functionality of "reorganization" you need to follow some mindmapping rules based on which this functionality works. For me when I create its limitation. I agree that there are different type of brains, personality and thats why there are at least few good apps but for different people 👍🏼

[@romselfleming1607]

Thanks for an excellent overview. Had already downloaded the app based on the review on another channel. They spent over 15 minutes on it, but didn’t manage to pack into the Apple Pencil highlights like the smart shapes/figures... I guess they looked more at the PC/Mac features, but this just made it another mind-mapping tool (which I still wanted to try out). The features you highlighted in your short overview, however, clearly showed what differentiates this software from the existing ones. Nice work 👍!!

[@paperlessmovement]

Thanks a lot for your great feedback! Happy to help 😃👍

[@newelleastland3638]

Fantastic app, Tom! Looking forward to seeing your follow-up videos!

[@John_Doer]

You sir just made my day !! It’s great to take notes in a organized way. It is way better than taking notes in a conventional methods. Thank you

[@paperlessmovement]

John Doe you are very welcome John!

[@tsheriff1ify]

Great and I totally agree that this is the best

[@morpheusspirit6609]

Absolutely brilliant! I also like mindmaps and this is definitely the best I’ve seen. Very creative and intuitive. Thank you.

[@JoeHolt303]

Thanks! I’m going to get it. However, MindJet is hard to beat for general idea mind mapping. I want both.

[@PlantBasedPietro]

AWESEOME!!!! Thank you for introducing this product to me!!! :)

[@paperlessmovement]

You are very welcome Peter!

[@WhoMovesYou]

This is great! Like many others who have commented, I've been searching for something that is robust like this. I've been using lucid charts, but haven't been in love with it so I'm excited to try this out.

[@adriennejones2992]

Have you ever reviewed Margin Notes 3 or Liquid Text? I'd be curious on your opinion.

[@SamPandiangan]

Liquid Text only work when you open a PDF file and make some comments, etc., but not for mind mapping.

[@adriennejones2992]

Sam Pandiangan I’m using making maps based on a topic I’m reading so for me it fits.

[@d.l.02.44]

Indeed you found it. Thank you! i was 1 minute away from spending money on another one...thanks for sharing

[@paperlessmovement]

Thanks, you are very welcome! If you want to learn more on how I use it for creative research, you should have a look at my Miro course! pplmvm.com/MiroCourse

[@Richardedame]

I use Miro, and it's a great app I haven't found anything better in terms of cross-platform compatibility, it's true. There are a few things still missing for me. Since my mind maps tend to be quite large, I really want to be able to collapse and expand connection trees. The other thing I'd like to have changed is for their built-in mind-map notes to be able to be modified or replaced with other objects, while still acting like a standard node where pressing tab will automatically generate a child node, etc. The reverse should also be true, where any object can be made to behave the way a node or root mind-map object does. These improvements would speed up map making greatly. It currently feels like their built-in mind-map tool, which is quite capable, is nonetheless just a third-party app that's been pressed into service onto Miro rather than something which is properly integrated with the rest of the software. I hope they keep working on that side of things.

[@paperlessmovement]

Agree! Let's hope for the best (better) :)

[@MrDidaxi]

Thanks! Looking forward to viewing the extensive video!

[@shingcityhk]

Yes! Totally agree with you that miro is currently the best mind mapping tools using pen. (there's a real mindmap template in miro!) Yet, it lacks gestures like Add New Node & Add New Sibling; and it did not allow digital ink in the node (keyboard typing slow down the process a lot!); and it cannot drag a whole node to another tree location! All these features could be used under Mindjet's MindManager Windows XP Tablet Editions years ago! I'm still waiting for the perfect mind mapping tools for iPad :-(

[@paperlessmovement]

Thanks for bringing those points into consideration 👍

[@donschueler]

Not sure if this was an update or not but you can double tap to start a major node, tap plus signs to add sub nodes and scribble works with text fields

[@jamessenade3181]

[@markedwards3]

Is Miro compatible with MindManager (formerly MindJet) on a PC. I have been looking for a iPad solution for some time to take notes on my iPad quickly whilst having a meeting and sometimes I may want to import into MindManager. This looks very promising.

[@guaje]

This is great! I've been looking for a decent multiplatform app that not only supports apple pencil, but s-pen too. As you were showing the smart drawing feature I was testing it in my Galaxy Note and it works just as well as in my iPad. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to keep learning from you.

[@paperlessmovement]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience using Miro on the Galaxy! You would be a great addition in the Paperless Movement community 😁👍

[@Herfinnur]

Ok, I‘m in!!! I see a couple of MiDi controllers there, so a question: would you or have you done something on using these tools in music making? I‘m a music maker myself, but I am all creative and with little natural ability for organisation, even if I try really hard. It’s dragging me down and I very rarely manage to „ship“ anything I do. I have found way too little help or information on how to go about using productivity tools, where the advice in my case makes my music sound boring. Any tips or you showing how you work would be greatly appreciated.

[@shivayshakti6575]

Thanks, does it have handwriting recognition?

[@rogalaphotography]

This is so AWESOME!!!! I didn't want to subscribe to something I would only be using sparingly! I wouldn't been willing to pay out right for the app but you found a mind mapping tool for FREE! Thank you for doing this video!!!!

[@MargrietBossink]

Hi, when I am in a brainstorming mode, I want to add ideas quickly. This looks great but is to slow for me. Do you have other tips?

[@paperlessmovement]

Even after all these years, I still believe Miro is the best tool for brainstorming. But are you really getting the most out of it, like using keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow? I’ve also created a Miro course that could help you get up to speed even faster. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4S3aIyCnLSjkK8 However, depending on your specific needs, other tools might suit you better. For instance, Heptabase could be a great alternative for certain use cases. To give you the best advice, it would help to know more about your unique 'brainstorming mode.' If you’d like to explore this further, I invite you to join us in the Paperless Movement Membership. Paco and I dive deep into these topics with our community and would love to help you find the perfect fit for your workflow. more info here: paperlessmovement.com/join

Thanks for video. One question: ''iPad Pro 11 & İpad Pro12.9” ? I use mind maps when doing business. Which do you think would be more useful? 12.9 wider. I can see mind maps more easily. but on the other hand, would it be as big and uncomfortable as a laptop in my hand? I wasn't sure. I haven't received it yet. Can you give an urgent opinion on this matter?

bloody hell ! i am laughing here... watching this.. as i am totally sharing the same enthusiasm and excitement you give us, here. hehehe.. this app seems to be brilliant... i'm gonna install it, right now. I too, have been looking for such an app for years.. And... you know.... i got Noteshelf 2 -> my 'daily-driver'/go-to app (the reason i got the iPad in the 1st place!) after watching your videos. So.. thank you, Tom , honestly ! You do a really good job with this channel of yours. cheers from Portugal PS: Do you still use Liquid Text .. or did you drop it for this one ? Oh... btw.. In order to better organize one's notes.. i was thinking of seriously focusing on bridging Noteshelf 2 with Evernote. Would you recommend a different approach. I'm not thinking of getting into the paid Evernote version.. Thanks again !

[@paperlessmovement]

I am using Miro on a daily basis for so many things now! I never used Liquid Text personally but do use Noteshelf. Link to Evernote works, and it helps to get your notes to place where other notes live if Evernote is your single source of truth. As I am using Notion too, this isn’t the case for me.

[@ejorgeherrero]

Thanks, great and wonderful app, will be “best choice 2020!!!

Hello Tom, what do you think about mind node app?

[@jonrrobinson]

Probably a silly question... so this will only work with the Apple Pencil? No other stylus, like the crayon?

[@gerrykapanka]

Thank you for discovering this new mind mapping app. I don’t claim to be nearly as informed on my mapping as you obviously are. But it is a very intriguing tool for collecting processing and collating lots of data. I look forward to more of your training videos on this app. I also would be interested in a video on how to use mind mapping in general techniques and skills that make mind mapping more effective. Thanks again and I look forward to more of your videos.
