Goalscape Reviews

Smooth, simple, versatile, portable, quick to get into. Nice help guides and videos to show you how to do things.

As you add more and more sub goals, they get smaller and smaller on the main model. The navigating round and trying to remember which tiny sector is what, can be tricky - especially if you manage to put Goalscape down for a week! You can double click over a minute sector, but if that is the wrong one, then you need to click back out and click in on another one. Maybe a hover over and zoom feature similar to photo galleries when online shopping.

Thanks for the great review! To see the goal names more easily you can Collapse some outer levels and use that in conjunction with the 'Center On' feature you described. You can use the Web App (https://goalscape.app) for Free for 14 days: create as many goalscapes as you like and share them with anyone. When your trial expires you can still read your goalscapes (View Only mode). Or to maintain full use after your trial expires, upgrade to a Goalscape subscription for just $99.00 per year or $9.90 per month.

With Goalscape as a central platform for target and project management, we map our complete target and project management. The intuitive usability of Goalscape made it very easy for my team to get started. All teams in our company have been working with Goalscape for 2 years. We use it to map our agile management method OKR (Objective & Key Results). What we like most about Goalscape is that we can keep track of the statuses and documentation in a complex project landscape and still map all the detail structures compactly.

At the moment we don't miss anything in Goalscape

Hi Jens Thanks very much for the marvellous review! We are very pleased that Goalscape's visual format helps you and your team to maintain clarity in the complexity, see the status in every area and quickly idetify any 'hot spots' that need urgent attention. Keep achieving great goals! Richard

I can see my whole workload in one picture, see the main work-packages and take more advantages in meetings as I can take notes related to each project.

It would be great to have an easy consolidation of the projects/blocks.

Hello Claudio Many thanks for your review! We are pleased that you like Goalscape's visual overview of the goal structure that underpins your work plans – and that you can update your goalscape on the fly during meetings (taking notes, moving goals and adding new ones). We are indeed planning to enhance the Home screen and may include a folder system. All the best Richard

-- Goalscape has incredible customer support and the staff will go above and beyond the call of duty to help you. -- Goalscape is already an incredibly powerful tool for determining priorities, budgeting time or money, or just for brainstorming when you need a visual aid to help you think about the things in your life. -- Goalscape can be useful to many people for personal projects as well as to...

-- Goalscape does not have the features I mentioned and it may take time for all the improvement to be implemented -- Goalscape relies on Adobe Air and Flash as a way to be cross-platform and the is at the mercy of Adobe's mistakes. HOWEVER, they ARE working on developing self contained apps for Mac OS X, Windows and possibly other formats. So keep an eye out for those improvements.

Thanks a lot for those kind words! We do our best...

Goalscape gives opportunity to manage in visual way. We can create diagram of structural data with elements like: - importance - progress - responsible - tags - dates. We can add : - notes - attachments. We can see data as scape diagram and as matching goal list or as a table. To create visual "tags", Goalscape has option to add colours to scapes and color dots to filter them later. It's possible to export diagram as: - PDF - docx - xlsx - goal map vector - goal map bitmap - csv data - MS Project - MindManager We can import: - Goalscape csv - MS Project XML - MindManager.

It's easy to start to use this software. Not to many options and great to manage in visual way. It's easy to create scapes as creative work or import input data to manage it later. I love import/export with MindManager as power-user - it's great to be able to present information in many formats without creating them from "zero".

Thanks for the marvellous review. Goalscape is indeed the ideal way to define all your goals and set your priorities *visually*. And seeing your progress shading advance across the goal map really reinforces your motivation! Some people even take a screenshot every week and scroll through them like a flipbook. Keep achieving great goals!

I like how it lets you collect and organise information in a very visual manner and easy to access interface

The inexistent possibility of adding media and accessing it anywhere and that its not phone accesible

Hello Pablo Thanks for the great review! We are delighted that you like Goalscape's visual format and find it easy to use. In the Web App (https://goalscape.app) you can embed images and videos directly into the Notes and Comments fields. To attach files in other formats, we recommend uploading them to a third party filesharing facility like One Drive, share it with your collaborators and insert a link to it in the Notes or Comments. That way everyone always sees the latest version of that attachment (you do not need to upload a new copy every time something changes). You are right: although the Web App works well on iPads and Android tablets, it is not yet fully optimized for phones and smaller screens – you will be pleased to know we are working on that! Best Richard

Naturally applied to manage the capture/monitor the attainment of goals. Easy to use. Native desktop, and mobile versions/operation as well as the web/SaaS.

- Unorthodox user interface - (after very short use operation is understandable/functional).

Thanks for the great feedback! Goalscape's unique multi-level pie chart 'goal map' UI is certainly a unique! We are glad you quickly found it easy to use. There are some useful articles (with How-To videos) to explain the major functionality. The web application (https://goalscape.app) is the ideal solution for teams working on shared projects. It provides some cool collaboration features like Goal Comment (per-goal IM with inline attachments and email notification options). The web app works well on tablets, though it is not yet optimized for phones and smaller screens.

Visually represents goals Accountability built in through tagging, dates, comments and other features

Would appreciate more training on it but the tool is intuitive

Hi Lucas Thanks for the excellent review! We are delighted that you and all your coaches are getting such great benefits from using Goalscape. We would be very happy to arrange training for you and your team – please feel free to book 2 (or 3) consecutive sessions here: https://calendly.com/goalscape/20min. Keep achieving great goals!

The circle shaped graphical UI works well for my brain. As items/tasks/sub-goals are added, they take up space in the circle, as new pie slices. The size of these slices represent how much focus/importance you allow for each of your specific tasks at any given time. And since the area of a circle is limited, it emphasizes that fact that there are only so many hours in a day. So... as you increase the size of one pie shape in this goal management system, it means that one or more of the other pie shapes must get smaller, and therefore must receive less attention at that point in time. For me, this is very intuitive and it allows me to always have access to a 30 thousand foot big picture view.

That it logs me out regularly. It would be nice to have a setting control that allows me to "stay" logged in.

What I like the most is that it helps me to organize all the ideas around a topic or a project. I can write the ideas and goals within a short, middle or long reach (even the most idealistic ones!! wishes). This in an organized way and with multiple ways to relate them with other topics.

I know it could be more friendly, I don't exactly know how.

Hello Carlos, thank you so much for your review. We are glad that Goalscape helps you to Organize your ideas and that it helps you to keep an overview. To make it more friendly, we will integrate a lighter day mode. We also want to add visual celebrations when goals are completed. You can send us any additional ideas you may have - we are always keen to learn from our customers. Just click the Chat bubble at the foot of the screen in the Web App (https://goalscape.app) or on every page of our website (https://goalscape.com). All the best, Marcus

Man bekommt eine sehr gute visuelle Übersicht über anstehende und erledigte Aufgaben – selbst bei komplexen Projekten.Da die Anwendung super-einfach ist, gibt es bei der Kollaboration keine Hemmschwellen bei anderen Anwendern

Es ist nicht nachzuvollziehen, wer im Team welche Änderungen vorgenommen hat. Auch gibt es keine Benachrichtigungen, wenn sich etwas verändert hat.Dateien werden zwar angezeigt, aber nur als Dokument. Fotos beispielsweise haben lediglich einen Dateinamen aber kein Thumb o.ä.Für die Kollaboration benötigen Netzwerkpartner ein eigenes, kostenpflichtiges Account. Das ist z.B. bei Basecamp besser.

Thanks for the great review! We are glad you like Goalscape. You will be pleased to know that the latest upgrade allows you to paste images directly into the Notes, and attach files in any format (with pdf Preview). And yes, a change tracker would be a useful addition (especially for business use on shared Goalscape projects). Anyone who needs to be able to update a shared goalscape has to have a paid subscription; we are though considering a free 'Commenter' role. Keep enjoying the journey!
