An in-depth TheBrain app-praisal !

Hello all,

This is definitely a great review!

Further, I have just done the same experience with OneNote / TheBrain like Stephen Zeoli:
“I recently tried to move from an info management centered on TheBrain to one centered around OneNote, but couldn’t do it. OneNote, for all its great features, just was not as useful to me as TheBrain—mostly because of the way in which TheBrain makes information easy to find and relate. Of course, one thing that is easy to do is to link any thought to a section or a page in OneNote and vice versa, so the two make a nice system. “

I moved to OneNote in March this year and I am moving back to TheBrain right now. As Stephen writes, TheBrain makes it easier then OneNote for me to add, relate and find information. It is quicker in finding information and the information looked for is not “so far away” like in OneNote. Another stumbling block in OneNote for me is its reminder system as it is linked to Outlook. I do not use Outlook, neither at work and neither at home. TheBrain provides a simple and integrated calendar with a reminder system and you can sync the calender with your Google calendar for example.

TheBrain is not a MindMapping tool for me. When I have to outline a presentation, a speech or a text then I use a MindMap app or the outline mode in Word.
