Megan B
Freelance copywriter
4.0

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.

Grant M
Financial Adviser
4.0

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Grant, I run Inspired Financial Planners, I give Jamboard a four out of five. Before I started using Jamboard, I basically just used either Paint or Microsoft Word, or more than that, it was probably just my Surface Pro whiteboard app. I chose Jamboard because it's really customizable and really easy. I already used the Google Suite in its entirety, so being able to just use something that's already part of that, just made a whole lot of sense. Considering Jamboard is already part of the Google Suite, it's really easy to set up. It's basically just a whiteboard with all your drag and drop features. It's not complicated at all. If you're familiar with anything Google and you're able to share things like a Google Doc or a Google Sheet, it's all basically the same kind of format. Jamboard is great if you need it to integrate with your other Google products like Google Docs, Google Sheets. If you want to take something from your whiteboard and put it in and be able to basically have it linked, really, really good for that. If you need something that's really simple and easy to use in terms of dragging and dropping to create a visual with your whiteboard, Jamboard can be really good. The only thing is, it is not overly customizable, and your drag and drop, you really have to get it in the right spot. There's nothing kind of aligning stuff, which means it can be a little finicky to be able to use, but in terms of being able to share with other Google users or integrate with the other Google products, it's really good on that side.
