It is perfect for anyone who likes to see their thoughts laid out in a visual way. Really easy to use and I love the colour options.
I found Milanote a really great way to layout my thoughts and then easily organise them into a process or categories. It is also a great way to then share your thought process with colleagues and have them add their own ideas.
The limit on cards with the free version was frustrating when I was first trying it out, but that has really been my only con for it.

I loved Milanote for being able to brainstorm my ideas in an organized manner. Using board system to put my ideas and organize them at the current stages. The templates are very helpful to get a head start at any brainstorming project especially for startups, photography ideas, mood boards, and design.
I wish I could custom adjust the size of the boards and arrange the content in a table format or side to side.

I really love Milanote. You can easily map what's on your head to the board!
I love it can helps us easily to distribute task such as content structure plan or strategy. You can simply drag and drop the card you want and put the content both text and image or even a checklist there. Really love it!
Since I only use the free account, unfortunately it limits you at certain amount of card you created on your account.

I was looking for something to stimulate and organize my thoughts around a new direction for my business. Milanote has been the perfect solution for me in this regard
Milanote is easy to use. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of images and the ability to link boards. In addition, Milanote provides templates that cater for various aspects of your business. You have the choice to either start with a blank canvas or use one of the helpful templates they provide. It’s been easy to use.
The fact that it is only online could have been a con because sometimes I need to work offline. However, they do allow export in various formats so that equalized it for me. I can look at and use my board even when I am offline.

My overall experience with the application was good overall, but hard to justify the price.
The most useful aspect of the application is the ability to create whiteboards and moodboards to provide a general sense of how the project should look or feel like. The UI was very pleasant to use and look at.
However, the same functionality can be achieved through other means for free. Thus it is hard to justify paying for the functionality.

Lay out notes and boards visually and connect them to each other any way you like. You can add text or graphics. Plan out the month in calendar view. Create mindmaps.
Relatively easy to go through the 100 cards on the free plan, but you add extra cards when your friends sign up with your link. Worth considering the paid plans.

Super lean, lightweight, fast and easy to use. Lets me collect my thoughts and organize from full chaos to structure in minutes.
The software is a bit buggy sometimes and has limited critical functionality and probably needs more templates for certain activities.

The organized structure helps with plotting a book.
Moving things is very hard when I do it on my ipad.
