Cayra for Windows

Absolutely Great!. Better than iMindmap because items can better be combined in categories and moved about. Very easy to use and user/friendly. Absolutely needs a MAC version and preferably a way to put it into a demo e.q. powerpoint or any better presenter.

It would be good if it didn't crash all the time.. Using the latest .NET 3.5 fully up to date with all the Microsoft fixes on both a laptop running Windows XP 32 bit and on a desktop machine running Windows 7, 64 bit Cayra simply crashes when started. If I downgrade the .NET platform to 3.0 then it runs unreliably.This could have been very good software, if only it was reliable.During the two periods of about 5 minutes when I did get it running it showed itself to be potentially extremely good. It has some new and innovative concepts and would be very usefull if only it didn't crash. Pros: No central node!Map centres itself on the node you have selected.Very colourful and expressive display. Cons: Crashes all the time.

I Think Too Fast. Very Very easy to use, quick to learn simplistic and easy to organize.For someone like me, Who owns a website and graphic design company, is a musician, a blogger, a college student and a fiance thoughts and stuff get really mixed up in my head. I use this program to organize my website projects especially (I have it open at design consultations with clients) and write down my thoughts while I am having the meetings.Great Design too! Pros: Simplistic and Attractive DesignColor Coded OrganizationNot Overly Complex (Drag and Drop Methodology)Fast, Small Installation Lovely Options for Categorization, Visual and TextualRemembers previously typed input and offers Auto-Complete Cons: Sometimes it slows down and lags when project webs get biggerLacks ability to attach files and email messages to nodesLacks ability to sync with contacts and calendarsNote Area in Node Properties needs more formatting options like anchor links
