Idea Sketch 2015.403.428.4130
Thus, Windows Phone users can benefit from an application like Idea Sketch that brings mind mapping onto mobile devices and provides a good set of features users can experiment with freely for a period of 14 days, after which a purchase will be required.
Tidy looks with a practical and fun to use layout
The appearance of this utility is very clean and it brings a set of nice graphics for you to enjoy while using it. The fluent feel when moving around the GUI and handling the various elements of design you insert in your projects is consistent throughout the app.
The functions and commands are kept at hand, easy to reach and put to work. The mild color scheme for the ideas and outlines you create are ideal for this application and allow for a relatively varied customization of each diagram.
Organize thoughts and constructs in a friendly manner
For each folder you create from the main screen it is possible to add several ideas and these can be, in turn, personalized as you see fit, using the available shapes, colors and links.
For instance, you can add a central idea and place it in the middle of the workspace, to have it at the core of the map and then draw the necessary relationships with other elements you insert next.
By tapping any of the shapes in the main view and then selecting a different component you will link them by drawing a connection.
Detailed idea personalization options
The color scheme for each idea can be modified at any given moment and from the same screen you will be able to perform other customizations that will come into effect as son as you exit that area.
Thus, you have the possibility to choose the line arrow and style that best fits the project you are currently working on. Also, the typeface in use when adding text inside the mind map elements can be changed, as there are a few different fonts waiting to be selected form the same editing section.
Adding maps you created with the desktop version of Idea Sketch is possible thanks to the integration with OneDrive, but exporting the content created with the mobile edition is, unfortunately, not possible.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The simple and easy to use front-end ensures a pleasant experience and the only thing missing is a set of customization options for the interface. |
Function7
There are quite a few interesting tools users can benefit from, but the lack of an export feature and some extra shapes, colors and text options makes it lose a bit. |
Security10
The app poses no threats as it is not at all intrusive and doesn't need to access any sensitive areas of the system. |
Battery7
The generally moderate power consumption will pass the upper limit on certain occasions, especially when accessing the OneDrive account to transfer form there supported files. |
Price9
A relatively rare app, this tool has a very good value and the evaluation period is long enough to let anyone decide whether it is worth paying for the full version. |
Compatibility8
Idea Sketch is prepared to function well on any Windows Phone 8 and higher handset, without other special requirements. |
