Pros and cons

The software is very easy to use and has a pleasant interface, and the form of online collaboration is very simple. 3D learning is fantastic, it is worth taking a chance.
This is innovative, specially designed software that does the job. What I like mainly is the fact that the software has improved a lot, the graphics are just excellent, especially on PC.
Absolutely brilliant - a best in the world for collaborative interactive multi-lingual visual thinking in 3D.
Integration with Android can be a problem, it has some flaws. In addition, the learning videos are small, it could have more tutorial content.
Lately it does not work well on Android, the application closes by itself during use.
Managing the pallet is not intuitive. Pasting an image from the clipboard directly to a thort is a glaringly missing feature.

Collaboration was never so easy!

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

The multiple features that the tool offers that drive innovation as well as revenue growth within the organization. The 3D modelling is top class and allows multiple stakeholders to get involved.

Cons

The pricing is a little on the higher side. Also, the platform does become buggy at times due to certain server issues.

Thanks for reviewing Thortspace.

What can you do with Thortspace?

Reviewed 4 years ago

The software is easy to use, engaging, and looks good when shared in social media. The appearance of spheres on social media is a key factor that drives my use of Thortspace. The Thortspace team is responsive, and many ideas are shared by the user community.

Pros

It is a visually engaging software. I have experimented with many tools over the years, and use Thortspace for the following reasons: 1) the distinctive look of connected spheres, 2) how spheres look when shared on Facebook, Twitter etc., 3) support for multiple ways of categorizing same information, 4) selecting and organizing information into journeys for users. Unlike users who fill the sphere...

Cons

While I do not need bi-directional links for all uses, there are situations when I would have liked to have that functionality. I would like to be able to specify colors using codes rather than just selecting from a set of pre-defined colors. Finally, being able to edit thorts in web browser would be very useful in some applications that I would like to develop.

Vendor response

Thank you very much for reviewing Thortspace mindmap mind mapping software. That is very helpful and kind of you.

The 3D Mind Mapping Giant

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

1. It's intuitive and easy to use. 2. Leaning mind mapping has never been that easy. 3. It's available in almost all platforms (including Android) 4. Gives free trials

Cons

There isn't anything particular I don't like about this software but I think the UI could have been improved and there should be more stress on letting the user learn how to use the application. It's sometimes too complicated to grasp what's happening.

Vendor response

Ok. Thanks.

Thortspace Multi Uses

Reviewed 4 years ago

I started using Thortspace as I was looking for a mindmapping tool to use personally and in my work with children. It is a platform full of wonderful surprises.

Pros

Thortspace is a great multi purpose platform. I have discovered lots of creative ways to use it including : creating space in my mind and feeling less overwhelmed by writing ideas in the thorts, typing in simple family menu plans created by my children, thus reducing family stress! dictating ideas for stories when out and about which allows for wider and deeper thinking working collaboratively...

Cons

It takes time to get used to. Fluency develops with practice. It is best to begin with simple ideas and then build on the skills to create visually interesting and thortful arrays and stories. There are short and simple training videos to assist

Vendor response

Thank you very much for reviewing Thortspace ! :-)

An excellent mind map's tool

Reviewed 3 years ago

In my company helps me train new employees in the marketing sector, allows me to build a 3D mapping of all the study modules I must teach, is very easy to use and helps understand complex projects to see a general mapping of these.

Pros

Thortspace is an excellent mind map's tool. It has large buttons and the cursor, allows you to easily arm and position the spheres. It is far superior to other mind mapping software. I like to be able to zoom in when I want the structural view to the global view to see the whole image and be able to study it better before any modification.

Cons

There's nothing I don't like, it's a very useful and intuitive software.

Thank you.

Amazing projects with thortspace..

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

When i have met first time with thortspace, i was in shock. I had never seen a software like this in order to think about a complicated issue. When i was using i started to find some good solutions and then i saw that it is much more than solving a problem. Can be created everything. I love to see everthing that i think in thortspace spheres. It is like my mind is on the screen. And also it is possible to use on mobile.

Cons

I love thortspace. Till now it is already more than one year i am using it and i have never get a problem.

An awesome presentation tool.

Reviewed 4 years ago

It solve the problem of communicating that we have global reach in an informal network. I haven't found another tool that allows people to see the details of any franchise and still be able to see the global picture. That is possible by rotating and zooming.

Pros

The three dimensional appearing interface. The ability to draw connections between spheres and to create spheres with edges touching to group. I really like the structural view to get close in and the global view to see the whole picture.

Cons

The fact that it still doesn't run Chrome.I have to depend on members of my team to create the TS. That is not a real disadvantage as we work as a team with different specialties. My focus is bus development.

Mindmapping but different

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

I've used various versions of mind mapping before but Thortspace certainly is in a league of it's own. The interface initially feels a bit funny, specifically the large buttons and cursor, but then you kind of get hooked into creating new spheres and all. It certainly feels easier than your average Mindmapping tool. If you don't mind not linking to your co-workers, it's free! I can see how team collaboration would become really powerful this way.

Cons

The interface can feel a little dated and clunky It would be great if the actions bit was integrated with some common tools such as Asana or Slack. This would be incredibly powerful if the software could assist in fact finding based on the comments one puts in (not actually a lack but just a great future addition)

Vendor response

This is a tremendously helpful review from someone who has obviously "been around, you know" and yet managed to keep an open mind in respect of new possibilities of what software could be or what software could become in the future. Every day we are working to make Thortspace simpler, less annoying, more robust and more complete. Thank you very much for your encouragement with that.

Cartoonish, but Poignant

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall the workflow creates organic structures that aid in understanding complex topics and provide context to attach details to in subjectively relevant locations that contribute to knowledge retention. It creates the most organic-looking results among mind-mapping tools that I've considered. Being required to break down content so atomically forces the user to distill information to its essential...

Pros

Thortspace is the only mind-mapping software available with any 3D capabilities. It's really 2 1/2 D, mapping everything on spheres instead of flat pages. But spheres can be chained together in 3D to create clouds of related topics. Sacrifices were made to enable the paradigm. All content must be broken down into sub-tweet-sized "thorts", shown as text-laiden bubbles. Thorts are then categorized...

Cons

The user interface was designed by the psychology department, not the usual software engineering folk. Controls are all present and functional, but not where a sane user would expect to find them, nor is everything entirely labeled sensibly. "Search" for example really acts more like "File", switching among and managing your inventory of spheres. It all makes sense if you're willing to adopt a certain level of psychosis. The image handling features need some streamlining, but they are functional if you're willing to wrestle them. Specifically Thortspace imports image files into its available catalog, and then allows thorts to be painted from its image pallet. Managing the pallet is not intuitive. Pasting an image from the clipboard directly to a thort is a glaringly missing feature.

Vendor response

Thank you very much for reviewing Thortspace so thoroughly and both honestly and charitably. We are working hard every day to make Thortspace better, and the encouragement of reviews like this make that task much more compelling.

3D Mind Mapping Makes “Thinking” Easy

Reviewed 3 years ago

I use Thortspace in my daily life to organize and visualize my thoughts, to do lists, and more. This allows me to manage what would otherwise be an overwhelming amount of information in my head, especially as someone who struggles with ADHD.

Pros

As someone that is easily distracted and racing, sporadic thoughts- mind mapping is a huge lifesaver when organizing thoughts and to do lists. Between work, school, and home life- being able to map and visualize (especially in “3D”) my thoughts makes managing everything seem much less daunting.

Cons

The user interface is somewhat older looking and could use a facelift. On the mobile app, it can be somewhat overwhelming learning how to use the features and figuring out where to find where the features are in the app when first starting with the app.

Vendor response

Thank you for your very thorough, balanced and fair review.

Brainstorming turned visual

Reviewed 3 years ago

I really enjoy using Thortspace. It has been a great way to organize thoughts and brainstorm

Pros

While I find the UI to be a bit dated, I loved the ability to be able to put my thoughts and line of thinking into a graphical interface. I have been using the tool for hobbies and other personal items; however, I may be brining it to some collaborative teams at my office.

Cons

The user interface is very usable, but I do not find it to be intuitive or overly visually appealing. The functionality and flexibility of the product far outweighs this “con”, for me.
