I love this product

I love this product. I have been using it for like 10 years in business. The super simple and intuitive interface, along with the graphical and text outlining are perfect for developing requirements documents, test plans, briefing to staff.

I have used it to present to Fortune 500 companies and they always say. Wow, that is so easy to understand.. How did you do it?

I have been using Inspiration for years (and years). It is by far the easiest, least expensive while fully-featured, mind-mapping software available. I am so glad that it continues to be available.

I’m a writer and this is one of the best brainstorming softwares around, and not just for writers. A fellow writer saw me using it for 30 seconds and and in less than two minutes had gone on line and purchased a copy for herself.

Love the program, upgrade was disruptive

I'm not sure of all the aspects of the upgrade, but I wish you would have set it up so that older files could still be accessed. I no longer have access to 10 years worth of previous materials that I've created using I-9. I love your program overall. I do remember the image library formerly having many more images than it currently does, but I know I can build up my own.
I also appreciate quick response from your support people. I'm still having an issue when going to print, but hoping that gets resolved soon.

Hi David, thank you for posting this review. Files created in Inspiration 9 should be able to open up in Inspiration 10 and vice versa, as they share the same file format. We will follow-up to see why you might not able to open your existing files. Best wishes, Inspiration Team.

So glad someone kept Inspiration alive

So glad someone kept Inspiration alive. I've been using it since the early 90s. Works great, and even with enhancements. Very happy that development and support are occurring versus maintaining a stale app. Kudos!

shame on you

Such outdated ancient dinosaur ugly user interface software. I only used ur software for 1 week then stopped and found better solutions from your competitors. Shame on you for stealing money from the accessibility disability community from university students and educators for this. If I could get a refund I would. And on top of it all you have the audacity to ask me for a review assuming I will give a good one. How delusional is your company.

Thank you for your review! Apologies for any inconvenience, as the latest Inspiration versions are downloaded from a URL, as opposed to a CD-ROM.

Best thing in my Homework!

Best thing in my Homework!
I struggled for weeks with organizing my homework essays and now there's not a hint of struggle in my daily planning. I absolutely love the color edits, organization of the program and how easy it is to use. I recommend all students use this program.
