| "I wrote my assignment in record time!" |
| Your programme is so easy to use. I wrote my last assignment in record time, and I didn't leave anything out! I used to use the Dylan Thomas method - hundreds of bits of paper with ideas, quotes, points, etc on them; now it's all virtual. |

| "Today NovaMind is one of my favorite applications" |

| "The best Mind Mapping software I've used on either a PC or a Mac" |
| Congratulations on a fantastic application, NovaMind has to be the best mind mapping software I've used on either a PC or a Mac and I've been through most of them over the last few years. |

| "This is a must have" |
| Well - I do not want to duplicate the - true - statements in the other testimonials, just one thing should tell it all: NovaMind set a personal record for me. That is: first shareware ever purchased within 1 hour after downloading the trial version. After moving from Win XP back to Mac OS (after moving in the opposite direction 5 years ago) the only application I was really missing was Mind Manager and for a while I was afraid I would have to live with outlining tools such as OmniOutliner or Notebook (which are both very good products I do recommend if outlining is what you want to do). But outlining tools do not offer the amount of assistance and visual clarity in developing complex concepts, while being an enormous time saver in being a development, presentation and marketing tool at the same time. Honestly, I have been involved in several large-scale international consulting projects and the difference between showing decision makers an outline (or presentation) and allowing them to actually "feel" how much effort and thought went into creating "their" solution by presenting a Mind Map is enormous and priceless. NovaMind offers exactly that while even being easier to use than the Windows counter part. Add to that the reasonable pricing and (compared to many other current Mac OS X apps) broad import/export capabilities... (cannot even think of words to describe my happiness finding out how well the Mind Manager import works having more than 1700 of them at hand) this is a must have. Love it. |

| "Phenomenal Support!" |
| Wow! What incredible customer support, that was less than an hour. Now that I've been using NovaMind for about an hour, I must say, it is one of the most elegant interfaces that I have seen. The automatic collapsing and expanding of the inspector palette is wonderful. Keep up the great work, and phenomenal support. |

| "This is really a fun toy, yet the productivity boost I cannot begin to estimate" |
| Something that is often overlooked by software companies is the cost in time it takes to become productive with new software. I was able after looking at just a few examples and a few minutes of trial and error to produce useful maps in NovaMind. It grows on you really fast considering that I'm new to the concept. After literally playing for about an hour I invited some associates to come see, and was able to interpret for them their ideas. They could easily see just how complex their work was and how easily things could now be sorted and tracked. I'm building what will be my super desktop. Since I discovered linking, I can launch: my morning news browsing, background music, current documents and applications including nested mind-maps. This is really a fun toy, yet the productivity boost I cannot begin to estimate. And I did look at others before spending my money. As I said before, the most important thing to me is my time. I did not have to take a course to use it, and more important I did not have to teach any one how to read it. No frustration, I'm really having FUN, unburdening my mind, and getting work done. |

| "I just couldn't be without it" |
| Many thanks for your quick response to my query of yesterday. I tried what you told me to do and it worked perfectly first time. I work in Dublin Institiute of Technology and I use nova mind to give students class notes where they have literacy difficulties. I also use it in my digital imaging classes and so at this stage I just couldn't be without it. Thanks again |

| "Get it, well worth the money" |
| I've been using NovaMind for about 8 months now. It's simply a great tool with more versatile uses than you'd think. Once you get it and start using it you just naturally come up with more ways to use it. Great at mind mapping, brainstorming, notetaking. I highly recommend it. I use it for business, but no college or high school student should be without it. |

| "My class had a great time" |
| I have used NovaMind in school and my class had a great time brainstorming for our Enterprise Project! We then set up our "Broadcasting Company" and by the end of the lesson they had all their ideas mapped out and they felt positive about starting their business venture! |

| "The developers have really outdone themselves" |
| I have just been playing with the HTML export features in this new version and the developers have really outdone themselves. Awesome update - this app just keeps getting better |

| "You're simply doing a great job" |
| I have been using Nova-Mind since the early stages of the program. I just want to send my complements on your continuous support and development. You're simply doing a great job and I find myself using this application more and more. I am loving it. Thanks. All the best. |

| "As a professional movie director and screenwriter..." |
| I just wanted to congratulate you on starting to address the need for a truly structured screenwriting program. I am a professional movie director and screenwriter, and recently wrote the movie SYLVIA, starring Gwynneth Paltrow. As a long-standing and very disillusioned user of other screenwriting applications, I am delighted to see the way NovaMind is going. I already structure all of my scripts in NovaMind and am enormously looking forward to using the app to do much more of the work on my next script. |

| "NovaMind is an astonishing creation" |
| NovaMind is an astonishing creation. It defies the way you think about a software application. Its abilities to let you layout and isolate individual facets and steps of complex concepts, processes, plans and projects, to any level of sophistication -- while at the same time, allowing you to maintain a clear and coherent work or thought-flow, is unsurpassable in any software I've ever bought or tried (and there have been many).
NovaMind is an indispensable tool for anyone with an eye for detail and a passion to create something great. If you want to visualize and layout your next great moneymaking or world-changing idea... or just have access to the best brainstorming, visualization, planning tool you can find... look no further than NovaMind. Yes, it's true, I'm a big fan. In fact, Novamind is one of my favorite software apps of all time. And that is saying a lot! I love this app, because it lets you think... without your trying to figure out "how to think" while using it, which usually happens at some point with most tools of its kind. NovaMind is nothing but a joy to use. I can see the developers love what they do... it shows. |

| Experienced software tester impressed with NovaMind user experience |
| I've bought from lots of Mac software companies since 1986, and was even flown to Seattle as an advanced beta tester for Adobe InDesign, but I have never found anything that compares with the outstanding customer experience your company provides. Feedback is easy to give, it is responded to, and ideas are actually incorporated into new releases. Promises of new releases are kept. Promises of letting us know about updates are kept. Core features that worked, but could be better, are (like the way branches are moved and reattached - I'm giddy just trying it now). Really useful features are added. The Controlled Layout option is an essential speed enhancer when I am really collecting thoughts quickly - no more messing around with "Auto Arrange" just so I don't have things overlapping. And, with all the changes, there are no feelings of "why on earth did they change the key command for ...." which are so typical of other updates. Room for improvement? Sure. Currently satisfied customer? Absolutely. Bravo, ladies and gentlemen. You set the standard. |

| NovaMind helps liberate creativity |
| This is absolutely the best software on the planet. I use it all the time and it has helped liberate some creativity after years labouring under the yoke of Microsoft Word. Keep it up, perfection isn't far away... |

| Medical student improves comprehension and memorization using NovaMind |
| As a first year medical student, no program has been more helpful for understanding and memorizing vast amounts of information than NovaMind. With its ability to directly import files from OmniOutliner, I can break down and visualize a tough concept in a matter of minutes. Mind maps also make re-learning for final exams (and board exams) easy and fast. |

| NovaMind is AWESOME. I just discovered NovaMind and I must confess a love for it. I can really see myself using it to run my business, think out ideas and use it as a note taking utility... all I can say is bravo. Keep up the good work! You're making an excellent product. |

| "Brilliant software" |
| I just found this recently after reading ATPM's coverage of mind-mapping tools. I liked the look of it and gave it a try - and quickly ended up buying it. The software is easy to use, but packs a lot of power too. It is worth following the tutorial on the NovaMind website and taking a look at some of the examples to get an idea of just what you can do with it. |

| "Totally Great 2" |
| I too am developing a film project and have completely fallen in love with NovaMind. It has been a tremendous tool for creating both the film's treatment and Keynote presentation. I was excited to see the Screenwriting Module added with version 2.x. Though I've used Final Draft for years, ever since OS X arrived I've been yearning for someone to write a native/cocoa application for screenwriting and to have it utilize the Services feature of OS X. From my perspective, having the screenwriting integrated with a mind mapping application will just be fantastic! In its initial version the Screenwriting Module has got the basics, and I'm hopeful that it will mature into a Final Draft competitor. |

| "NovaMind Provides Excellent Value For Money" |
| Novamind is an excellent graphical tool and works wonderfully simply in a way that almost hides its complexity and wealth of features. As for prices, it provides excellent value for money. Furthermore, this is a product under active continuous development and improvement. I have no regrets buying this software and I freely and readily recommend it. |
