This is an extraordinary app, which is unbelievably well thought through and functional. It actually works in a way that is both simple and intuitive enough but also has extraordinary depth and detail. I use it every day and can’t praise it highly enough.

From a former Apple employee, I love this app to the moon and back.

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 had held off 1* as there were a lot of rough edges and although there are still things that need a little work the pace of change over the last few weeks and genuinely meaningful improvements mean it would be unfair not to go 4* -> 5* as I am sure all is going to iron out and the team are clearly working hard and communicate well re feedback. Overall, Impressed I still am!

① Bug fix request: Problem with input location when editing notes in Japanese This is a problem that occurs when using The Brain app in both of iPhone and iPad. When editing notes in Thoughts with the Japanese input, there is a bug where the text is not inserted in the intended location through the step of "Convert input" in a unique system of Japanese language. This bug does not occur when inputting on the Windows version of The Brain app. Now I'm using copy & paste the total text of Japanese from the other memo app, but it's very stressful. Please fix the bug when editing notes in Thoughts with Japanese inputting. ② Additional function request: When adding Thoughts in the iPad version, please add a way to input using only the keyboard. I think the current system, which allows you to specify relationships by the direction of your flick when adding Thoughts, is well designed, but I don't think it's very efficient because I must leave my fingers from keyboard and touch the screen when doing so. I would like to see a modification that allows to continuously input elements using only the keyboard when an external keyboard is connected to the iPad, such as "adding children with the Tab key and being able to edit item names and notes". The Brain is well designed system to store and combine ideas, it should be used full potentials in iOS devices.

For notes, links but above all for knowledge base and brain, it is a terrific apps. I use it in particular to learn several languages, Chinese, Spanish, interleaving characters via their keys (Chinese) and sentences

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! Chris Collcutt
