Milanote Just Works!

Milanote is a great software that allows for quick and easy iteration of ideas using their built-in flexible tools to mindmap, organize, and sketch out almost any idea you could have!

PROS

Milanote is a very versatile solution to ideation and whiteboarding that does a great job. It is perfect for online moodboards, storyboarding, documentation, and mindmaping.

CONS

I wish rather than having a card limit for all boards there was a board limit and a card limit per board. As is, the software doesn't have enough PAID features to make the paid version worth it, and the free version is lacking enough to use it as anything other than an idea board. I still prefer Jira or Trello for project management, and PureRef for my moodboards (even though that doesn't allow for collaboration and isn't online).

Reason for choosing Milanote

Please refer to the "Why did you make the switch" for a detailed answer!

Reasons for switching to Milanote

I made the switch only for projects that require collaboration of the moodboard. Otherwise I typically share files on Google Drive, do project management on Trello, sketch ideas out in Photoshop, and use PureRef for my own personal reference boards. Milanote is a great solution for ideation and collaboration, but those other softwares are individually better at their given tasks. Milanote SHOULD add more tools for better project and task management, making it more clear and less of a secondary feature, and should also overhaul its file sharing side of things as I described previously in this review. Another feature that would definitely put Milanote on the map and blow the competition out of the water would be integration with set folders on a person's PC and utilize version control when a file is changed. This would likely require a Milanote APP download onto a person's computer, but this added tool would be a game changer for sure!

I have a love/hate relationship with MIlanote!!!

Milanote needs rethink it's membership program. There needs to be something that attracts customers back on a weekly basis. And in the current freemium service, there is a reason to go back and use Milanote once your 100 boards are used up. I believe Milanote should give users 5-10 free boards every month. I believe this will get people to use the program more often, more comfortable using the program, and collaborate with their people, eventually purchasing like I did.

PROS

Milanote is fun and easy to use. I really like this tool a lot. Whenever I need to storyboard an idea, I go to Milanote.

CONS

The free boards and subscriptions don't make any sense. Milanote gives 100 free boards. That's wonderful!!! However, once you use up the 100 boards, your only option is to purchase a monthly subscription regardless if you use one new board or 1000 new boards. I only use Milanote in seasons, meaning I use it for 20 days each quarter. 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. I did purchase it one month at a time, but that was annoying.

Milanote's Evolutionary Journey ✈️

Collaboration, streaming work flow, better project management, this software is a must for any business, 5*****'s.

PROS

It has so many features, post graphic previews, pdf document sharing, brainstorming sessions, video content, website development, project management, team management, and last but not least, a great tool at a great price.

CONS

When this software came along, I was fairly disappointed, I compared it to the likes of cling. Since its evolutionary journey has progressed, the company have listened to feedback of its users. That initially was the big hang up. Not listening. It had so much potential, just didn't tap into what the customer saw and wanted. Now however, things are very different, and its a pleasure to work with.

Reasons for switching to Milanote

A better system of tools to complete and streamline projects.
