### "Extremely powerful visual brainstorming tool"

August 19, 2019

5.0

Surprisingly fun visual tool for brainstorming. I'd love to be able to afford it.

Pros

Milanote is an easy to use and very powerful tool for those who work through problems and projects visually and spatially. Although the purpose of the various tools is obvious, the onboarding was perfect. It's fun to use! You could fool around for hours experimenting. The templates are helpful. I like being able to layer boards on top of boards. This is much more than a moodboard or scrapbook app. Very intelligently implemented.

Cons

The free plan is very limited and I'm not sure you can prove the tool's value to use with only 100 elements allowed. But 10 bucks a month per user for unlimited elements and storage isn't a bad price.

### "One of the most useful and flexible tools in my design/planning toolbox"

October 17, 2017

5.0

Pros

The best thing about Milanote is the amazing team behind this software who listen to their users and actively develop features that users want.

Cons

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.

### "Digital Post-its"

August 31, 2021

4.0

Pros

I really enjoyed how you can organise your thoughts and projects into small sections and move things around as needed.

Cons

It's lacking some features that similar software tends to have, but some people might find that a plus.

### "Love at First Try"

February 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

Seriously, this one is a gem!! Great job guys! Finally an app I wanted to use everyday. I use it to manage all my work, from pitch to finished product. You literally can do EVERYTHING there, no need to jump from app to app.

Cons

Maybe the card limitation for the free user plan :(

### "Fantastic way for me to organize my crazy ideas. "

October 18, 2017

5.0

Ability to organize my thoughts and projects.

Pros

I love the basics of a movable board. It is most like my brain so I like to fill up images and colors to help brainstorm. The web clipper has been a huge improvement too and allowed me to read more articles.

Cons

Least I like the zoom option and sizing options. I fill boards a lot and would like to zoom out more easily, or have there be a way to make articles smaller on my board. I think of Adobe illustrator and how often I zoom in and out to see where I am at.

### "The Best Platform for Planning"

December 25, 2020

4.0

Milanote has made it possible for me to create reusable templates that I can apply countless times to different projects. And, it's helped me break down UX and UI to the smallest detail without losing focus or causing any confusion.

Pros

Milanote is a beautiful combination of UX and UI planning, and more. I've been able to use it for everything from website IA, moodboards, and portfolio design to resume-building and creative briefs. It's highly versatile. If you've ever used Trello, its Column and Note functions will feel pretty familiar. Another helpful feature is the ability to nest projects within each other. I.e., if you have a single project that has 10 parts, and each part has its own set of tasks, you can create a single column as the top-level board for the overall project. Then, you can create boards for each of the 10 parts, but have them all live within the top-level board. So, it becomes one self-contained column with everything related to that single project, and you can click into any of the 10 parts as needed. It's fantastic!

Cons

The only thing I would add to Milanote would be to have the ability to snap objects into place as you move them. The screen is set up with dots, sort of like a grid. This helps you line up items somewhat, but they're not always perfectly aligned with each other (they can end up slightly off from one another as you slide them around the screen).

### "Milanote Review"

October 29, 2023

4.0

My overall experience with the application was good overall, but hard to justify the price.

Pros

The most useful aspect of the application is the ability to create whiteboards and moodboards to provide a general sense of how the project should look or feel like. The UI was very pleasant to use and look at.

Cons

However, the same functionality can be achieved through other means for free. Thus it is hard to justify paying for the functionality.

### "Collaborating Creatively"

December 10, 2019

5.0

I have been using Milanote for a little over a year now and believe it has increased my productivity and allowed our team to contribute in a more well rounded way. The templates are a great starting point, especially if you are stuck somewhere on a project.

Pros

I love the preset templates that Milanote offers and the real-time collaboration it supports. For any step along the creative process, I can integrate Milanote to share progress with my team. I like that when I project is finished, I can export all the boards used and archive them offline, locally on my computer.

Cons

I wish there was more space to work with on the free version, so that I could experience taking a project from start to complete without having to purchase

### "Userfriendly, convinient, excellent customer service."

April 17, 2018

5.0

Easy to use, user friendly, great customer service.

Pros

I like how this is a virtual pin board of ideas. It is convinient because you log in quickly and post your ideas and your team mates see it instantly. They can even move your idea around to a different category. It's way better than a physical board because of how quick and easy it is to use. It's a user friendly interface. I like how I can use the Chat service anytime I have a question, and their team is always willing to assist us if we need it.

Cons

We mainly use it to manage our projects and as an idea sharring platform. Not sure what else to use it for. Great Idea though!

Pros

Super lean, lightweight, fast and easy to use. Lets me collect my thoughts and organize from full chaos to structure in minutes.

The software is a bit buggy sometimes and has limited critical functionality and probably needs more templates for certain activities.

### "Next level brainstorming"

October 18, 2017

4.0

Being able to carry all your ideas with you and not having to look trough stacks upon stacks of sketch paper.

Pros

It's a brilliant yet dead simple idea and they've kept that simplicity, so you can purely focus on your creations. You forget that you're using an app. It's just you and your idea.

Cons

Milanote is not very functional on smartphones just yet. Trying to type a note from your smartphone will constantly result in disappearing words.

### "Note-taking and tasks lists for the visual person"

December 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

Lay out notes and boards visually and connect them to each other any way you like. You can add text or graphics. Plan out the month in calendar view. Create mindmaps.

Cons

Relatively easy to go through the 100 cards on the free plan, but you add extra cards when your friends sign up with your link. Worth considering the paid plans.
