My Second Brain

This software is a league above all the rest. I capture thoughts, files and documents in an easy and effortless way using this system. Then I create links to aid memory in all areas of my life-work and leisure. The new AI feature is brilliant. Congratulations to Harlan Hugh and the Brain Technologies team!

A mobile brain .. a long time in the making

By far the best mobile release of this platform. As the intro says this is the original digital brain having been around for decades, great on the desktop but for which the mobile companion as been a very poor cousin …. Up until now that is!
Amazing functionality available, generally stable and pretty quick. Sync with desktop is solid and sharing info from other apps etc is much improved and less clunky.
I hold off on one star purely due to some UI tweaks that I feel are needed to better optimise for small mobile screens but rate of tuning/enhancement at present is high so I don’t think it will be long before another star is added.
Overall, Impressed I am!

Developer Response ,

Thank-you we’re aiming to make mobile a first-class experience. We do have more improvements in the pipeline of course but please: The UI tweaks you feel are needed, let us know.

V10 Excellent

The latest version of the app brings iPad and even iPhone usability much closer to the excellent desktop software. The “brain box” function now operates across platforms as well as the brains themselves so you can capture something on your phone and, if you don’t want to incorporate it in your brain there and then, it will be sitting there for you on either the iPad or desktop. Excellent software I now run my work and personal life with.
