My feeling as well. This new app is painfully slow. A bullet journal is quicker.

Well, I’m about at the end of my trial version of Ayoa, and the company hasn’t returned any of my inquiries about (1) why I cannot use my DropTask subscription for Ayoa, and (2) why I cannot upgrade to Ayoa. My trial of Ayoa ends Monday, and I won’t have time then to move everything to another task manager *Things, ToDoist, and OmniFocus are overkill for my daily routine mixed with unexpected tasks (fires to put out). My small projects work better on SheetPlanner. For all the rest, I’m afraid that it is going to be Apple’s Reminders.

Good choice – the next version of Reminders promises to be pretty dang powerful.
But I can also recommend NotePlan!

I finally got a reply from Ayoa. The fellow showed me a string of emails that were sent to me but never reached my inbox for reasons unknown. The good news is that they do seem to have a support staff in place. The bad news is that I cannot seem to upgrade, and they don’t seem to know why. I can use my existing DropTask subscription until it runs out in September. Thereafter, I will have the option to upgrade to the version with MindMaps and chat capabilities in it. Until then, I have a crippled version. I don’t know what the upgrade pricing will be (I cannot get to that part of their website as I still cannot access upgrade information…that link on the website is still blocked for me). I’ve consumed nearly a work week trying to get Ayoa up and running, and hoped to use it with my department chairs. By the time they try the 7-day trial version, mine will have run out.
One of the best reasons for using a bullet journal is that it never blocks you or gives you error messages, and it cannot be deleted and replaced by a system you cannot utilize fully. Ayoa needs to be donation-ware until they resolve the issues blocking existing users of the now defunct DropTask.
One other bit of good news. Existing users of iMindMap 11 can still use it without it being erased and replaced by Ayoa. I have hundreds and hundreds of iMindmap files that I can still use, but with the replacement of iMindMap with Ayoa, I don’t know if I will be able to access them in future years.

I updated to latest imindmap version 11.0.5, and the program still working.
