Initial impressions.
Significant improvements appear from Version 9 to Version 10 that justify purchase.

I've been a fan of software called Inspiration for a long time. Because this software visualizes the ideas that pop into my head. I will continue to make full use of this software.

I had multiple questions over several emails. All were answered clearly and promptly.

It is easy to learn and use and it helps visual learners succeed.

If you see problems in infographics rather than verbal expression this is your "stenographers" concept tool that can write your mindblimps into a chapter format.

I have been using Inspiration since an early version--and other outliners even before windows. I am now an author and do all my initial creation in outlines. I have been using v.7.6 and moving all my v9 outlines to that via a retired old computer that has Inspiration 8 install and still working. I use it for all kinds of text lists that don't need a spreadsheet format or math.

I hope it comes back and will allow export to some form of standardized data format so I don't get cut off if orphaned again.

Clear product vision that allows teams to harness their creativity

I have been using Inspiration for many years for business and personal reasons. It is the best, most intuitive tool out there for flow charting processes and thinking. I am sure I have not scratched all the nuances that exist in this program, but it does not take a course of study to discover them. Just try....it is easy.

Instant assistance and support for tutors.

Great product does exactly what it states. Love the ability to take mind maps into bullet points. Ease of purchase and support given was great with replies through emails.

Easy to use. Intuitive. Perfect for creatives with a million ideas. Useful across a variety of situations for work and personal. Perfect for visual thinkers and for decluttering managing brain clutter.

I have used Inspiration for years. I have developed family trees for numerous ancestors. Inspiration is excellent for that. You should aim some advertising toward people using Ancestry or Family Tree

fantastic easy to use and great content, personally i used inspire for buying books for my course and personal use. The range of products is amazing, and it has a little something for everyone.

I am not sure which is the more helpful entity - the product or the team that make sure it all works properly. This is a marvelous product [the program] which is quite helpful to me - and those whom I treat with TBI or LD recovery.
The program works well - I use it regularly -

Reeza Awoodun is a wonderful representative for Inspiration Mind Maps. He's extremely knowledgeable, patient, capable and has excellent etiquette and interpersonal skills.

I thank inspiration for having him on your team.

Inspiration is one of my all time favorite mind mapping applications and is so easy to use! With the new feature set it is even more powerful! Great for students who struggle with ideation and writing!

I cannot imagine writing without the Imagination program. I taught writing for 30 years, and I use this program constantly in both writing and just to brainstorm sometimes. I have used Imagination both as a teacher with students, and now as a writer — it is invaluable. One of the features I love the most is I can shoot out random thoughts, and then slowly organize them until I'm ready to see an outline. Then with one button it transfers to a Word document.

I use mind mapping to sort out my ideas. Inspiration software is the best one for me because it is so flexible. I have written 4 books on dyslexia using Inspiration mind maps in so many different ways: as diagrams with symbols; as mind maps with arms; to show flow diagrams. The flexibility allows me to show
relationships clearly. I use colour coding to indicate groups of ideas. I use many of the symbols provided and I import some of my own. Sometimes, I export an Inspiration diagram into another piece of software and I'm in awe of the way the Inspiration mind map is constructed and can be used. I've been using the software for several decades; from time to time, I try others, but I always come back to Inspriation. A huge thank you to Inspiration for its impact in so many parts of my life.

Intuitive and can hit the ground running with watching the short help videos. Very applicable to getting thoughts down and organized. Has helped me in the multifaceted work I do across several grade levels and educational goal!
