Popplet Lite by Vicky


Name of App: Popplet Lite
Cost: Free
Device/s used: iPhone
Available on: iPhone, iPad

What was good about this tool? 
It's easy to use. Once you download the app and open it, you do not sign up or anything and go straight forward to creating your mind map. You can name it and change a colour of it by clicking on settings wheel. You are allowed to make a new 'popple', copy/past/cut it and also you can disable editing if you aren't writing anything on it and just want to read through what you've got already. 


What was bad about this tool? 
The downside of this app is that you cannot create more than one board. Everything is on the same page so it can get a little messy and confusing so if you were to use this I would advise using it for one subject/topic only. Another thing, is that it's too small on my phones screen for my liking anyway. I would imagine if it was used on an iPad etc, it would be easier to fiddle with it and make it easier to read and navigate around the board.
How did you use this tool?
It's great for quick-to-do mind map. It's quite nice that you have an option to choose whichever colour that is in the options, as you can personalise it and makes homework etc more 'fun' or exciting if I may say. Overall, it's a simple mind mapping tool for quick notes but maybe not best for revision.
