I like IOctopus because for me, as a teacher, it is important to visually arrange the educational material when preparing for training sessions. I had a desire to use IOctopus because mental maps turn out to be beautiful with pictures and connections. The decisive factor when choosing IOctopus is ease of use, interesting ready-made design templates, the ability to add comments, notes, turn a branch into a task, and much more. Working in IOctopus is very convenient and pleasant, thanks to the...

I found iOctopus a couple of days ago while studying for an exam and I am currently using the free version. I like the clean interface, the quick and easy way to add branches, and the design options the developers offer. But I haven’t yet fully figured out how to modify the connections between different branches.

I Octopus has come simple functions, and it's enough for newcomers like me to get used it and use it. I like it for how easy it is to set mind-maps up, and to make it easy to read. Although I'd like to criticize that the head like to stick and turn into branches of other heads too easily. Perhaps I can get used to it and find a solution later on.

Comments and Reviews
I do a review of mindmap services every 2-3 years. There are many services, some are free, but ugly. Some is beautiful, but paid. There are some very functional and not so functional, web, Win, mac and cross-platform... I know them all. (Mostly)
And I regularly made a new reserch, because I could not stop at any one. It's not it for me, that's not it... There are services that completely suit me in terms of functionality and at the same time are free and unlimited. But damn, their aesthetic component annoys me. Or the fonts are small, or the colors are weird...
To draw maps, I used mostly Mindomo. I have five accounts there, each with three (necessary to me) maps. And three more services in which there are maps that I sometimes need. Mindmeister, Mind42 and Bubbl.us
And so, I need to put everything in one pile. And over the last 3 days, I've re-viewed everything I could reach. I found a couple of good free ones, a couple of new paid, but, no sensations. And suddenly. Wow! Octopus!
Honestly, iOctopus is the greatest! Among all that I have seen, he is the undisputed winner in aesthetics and quite an equal competitor in functionality. There is no cross-platform yet, but in 2023, this is also promised. Although the web-version is quite a cross-platform. So remember. iOctopus.
Here, for example, color combinations are very cool, so it's always nice to look at them. And it's not like you're going through 100 theme to find one suitable — there are only 10 but they're all super-cool!
And a lot of small, pleasant chips, for example, you can change the thickness of the lines, there is no such thing anywhere. Or, when changing the color theme, not only the map view changes, but also the interface design. Or... however, I will not spoiler.))
They are best! )
Thank you very much for the feedback!

Working in IOctopus is very convenient and pleasant, thanks to the friendly interface of the program. As a result of using IOctopus, I created mental maps for the course "Fundamentals of Database Design", created mental maps - a plan for the day, I plan to create a mental map based on the book "Systems Thinking" The difference between IOctopus mental maps is a minimal, simple, maximally functional interface. I recommend all teachers to subscribe to IOctopus.

IOctopus is a super fun tool that I use for organizing the data of so many accounts I have. Before it, I was lost in my notebooks and cards, now I have colored branches that classify my digital accounts and I find everything easily!
IOctopus has been a game-changer for me. The features and functionality it offers are impressive, and it has made the process of creating mind maps so much easier and more enjoyable. Here are a few reasons why I love this tool: Easy to use: Even if you've never done mind mapping before, it makes it a breeze to get started. The interface is intuitive, and you can create your first mind map in minutes. Customizable templates: The tool offers a wide range of mind map templates that you can use to visualize your ideas, plan projects, brainstorm new concepts, and more. The templates are not only functional but also visually appealing, making your mind maps engaging and easy to understand. Flexible and fun: you have the ability to customize your mind maps to meet your specific needs. You can add text, links, images, and even attach documents to your maps This flexibility allows you to create mind maps that grow with your ideas and can be accessed from anywhere at any time. Great for collaboration: If you're working on a project with a team, it makes it easy to collaborate and share your mind maps. You can invite others to edit and contribute to your maps in real time, making it a great tool for group work and brainstorming sessions. I highly recommend it!
