SketchWow is loved by Small Business, Enterprise, I/T, Educators, Marketers, Designers, Creators, Agencies, Coaches/Consultants and non-creative types.
Helps me manage my projects, especially the creative projects. It's flexible and fun to use.
I did purchase it one month at a time, but that was annoying.
The visual appearance is beautiful and feels like bullet journaling, and the ability to adjust the boards to any length or width is a fantastic feature.
I can't think of anything I strongly dislike about the software. There are very occasional bugs with the Chrome browser extension, but restarting Chrome usually fixes this.
I absolutely love Milanote and the ease of use for the tool. It's my go-to for client presentations and I love that boards can be downloaded into a PDF or word doc for easy sharing.
Milanote falls short in some functionalities, such as lacking edit history tracking and restricting content on mobile app for TikTok and Instagram posting.
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 purchased a yearly subscription and after 6 months I realized I only used it for about 40 days. So purchasing a yearly subscription for 80 days of use is a waste of money.
Customization is super flexible too—tons of fonts, icons, and export options - I love the ability to export animated GIFs. And the fact that it's a one-time payment for lifetime access.
Most of my initial complaints have already been fixed with the updates.
Quality and variety of images is quite good and getting better all the time. I like the variety of customization tools.

I like the hand drawn style of designs that you can create as they look different to other popular design tools like Canva. It helps to make my offer stand out visually and looks super custom.
I have no idea if either are technically possible.
Bought it on a whim as it was such a good price and it’s been amazing. Have used it in presentations where it got great feedback as well as diagrams and informatics.
There are not enough templates out there but that keeps growing with the updates, so no real cons as far as Im concerned.
Speaker 1: Hi, my name's Megan. I'm a freelance copywriter and blogger. I'm reviewing Milanote, and my review for Milanote is four stars. And for more reviews like this, click below. I began using Milanote when it was in beta stage, and before that I had not really used any similar programs. The closest things that I've used would be some mind mapping apps just through Play Store on my phone, and maybe Evernote for note-taking and saving links and things like that. But Milanote is quite unique. It's more of a mind mapping note-taking software, I guess. So, yeah, I don't think there's any other software that's exactly like it. I chose to start using Milanote because, like I said, it was in the beta stage, and I like to try a new software. But yeah, I just liked the idea of the visual layout of the mind mapping style of collecting information and saving links and images and notes and everything. Yeah. So, I started to just see what it was like, and, yeah, I thought it was pretty good. The onboarding was really quite simple. It's easy to use. You just click the button if you want to add an image or a link or a note or a list. There's a side bar that's got the buttons that you can click to add new things to your boards. You can create new boards and add things to your boards. And, yeah, I found it really easy to use, which is one of the things I like about it. If anyone's considering using Milanote, I recommend giving it a try, definitely. I think they have a free plan. I'm not sure what the limits are because I think I got special limits because I started using it so early on. But definitely give it a try because it's quite unique, and it allows you to do quite a lot of things on there. And just the visual layout can be really helpful for some people. If you're planning like a website design or even just planning content for your website, it can be really useful to store the information there and have it all laid out so that you can see it. They also now have templates that you can use to help you plan out different things. They've come a long way since they started in beta, so I'd definitely recommend that if you're thinking of giving it a try, give it a go.
