WriteMapper 2: Mind Map (iPad)

WriteMapper is the tool for journaling, blogging, or drafting your next novel. Cleanly displays your outline. Visual elements have imbedded text fields to capture narrative, images, and links. Exports fully formatted (narrative and/or images) documents in the hierarchical form of your map. Free 7 day trial has full capabilities available. Also provides a tutorial and reference manual. Low learning curve, no cost demo, no paywall = no risk. I enjoyed playing with it, but as I am not a writer, it wasn’t what I needed. Since I can see where it would be a great tool for creatives to capture a linear process, I wanted to write a review to describe its abilities.

Hi, this has been a great app so far. Before, what I really liked about it and found helpful was being able to export the mind map to a “Full Document Preview” and being able to then edit the text of all the content/nodes. This was helpful because in the actual map, I can’t see the full text contained in each node. I use this format to read through and edit my thoughts, and being able to do that in the Full Document Preview was important for me. But this seems to have been taken away in this version. I would like to see this feature being reinstated, and it would also be nice to have an option to display all of the text contained in the nodes in the mind map (before exporting it). Thank you.

This is a real nice and simple app. I am surprised it doesn’t have more downloads and reviews. It is simple to use and very beneficial to the writer. It exports in many different formats and also give a nice preview of the entire document.
