Milanote Reviews

This can be used in so many ways, from whiteboard to mind maps, to brainstorming ideas. lets you use words or imported pics

Allowing access can be frustrating sometimes

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.

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).

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.

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.

Milanote it's pretty easy to understand and to deploy within your team. Also the tools that they have for making mudboards or brainstorms are amazing, with that and the facilities for collaboration you can ideate projects or products on your computer like having your teamates next to you.

You can't track the progress of activities on a detailed way, also you can't see how many activities each team member have to do. At the end I understand that Milanote it's not focusing on these things but it would be nice to have them.

I started using Milanote when it was in beta, when I was looking for a neater alternative to Trello. I do design work, so being able to put pictures and text wherever I want is really important. It's equally, important, though, that everything be neat and easy to organize.

I mostly work by myself with a handful of individual clients. I can work on Milanote without having to deal with excess team features, but still share the boards with clients via a "secret link". (They can also join the board fully if they're members.)

Milanote has also been steadily adding features that have really helped me to use it even more and with greater ease, particularly the Mac desktop app.

Pulling in links is especially useful, as it shows you some of the webpage as well as the URL itself. I also love that I can embed GIFs and have them work as they're supposed to. (Airtable, for example, will just show it as a still image in a larger view.)

Being able to show clients exactly what I'm talking about is huge, and the fact that it's easy to organize and make changes to really helps. It's standardized in its design but gives me everything I need.

There's no integration with Zapier yet. I believe that's on the roadmap, but it'll definitely make a difference when I can connect a particular design board with tasks on Todoist, for example.

Milanote has an elegantly simple interface. It's great for capturing notes on the go, consolidating and mapping your research findings, organising your creative ideas, arranging all of the above into projects and using whatever system/workflow suits you (and your team, in realtime).

As a product, Milanote sits somewhere between a fully-fledged word processor and an online file storage service, like Dropbox. It's not either of those extremes, so manage your expectations! However, it is absolutely terrific at filling the void in between.

Super easy to organize ideas and share concepts with the team. The ability to add arrows, imagery and comments makes it super easy to decipher complex ideas with the team in one view.
The ability to add links right onto the board with previews make for a great visual planning tool. The Milanote team provides amazing ongoing communication with examples of how other users organize their projects and new features

The comment feature is great for team input, but there is no way to hide comments while previewing the board without completely dismissing it/deleting the comment altogether. When sharing a collaborative board with my team, I would love it if they were able to view other's comments with the ability to turn the comment view on and off

Planning has never been easier, I am able to add links, images etc. It's just like seeing what your final output would be like even before it is launched. I remember planning my website on Milanote first, and I still plan all my projects and campaign here, draft out my designs and scripts for the video here also. The guide at the beginning also helps to familiarize yourself with the app and how it works. Great Tool!!!

First of all, most time, I want to also work offline, but can't and I really wished there was a possibility. They should also consider cutting down the price a little, the other option is referring to get more space.

As a user, I highly recommend Milanote for organizing and scaling up the clarity of ideas. The flexible drag-and-drop interface allows me to arrange my projects in a way that makes the most sense for each one. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing me to quickly find everything I need. The visual appearance is beautiful and feels like bullet journaling, and the ability to adjust the boards to any length or width is a fantastic feature. I have used many project and content management systems in the past, but Milanote stands out as one of the cleanest and most user-friendly. I love using it to create and manage my social media calendars.

Milanote falls short in some functionalities, such as lacking edit history tracking and restricting content on mobile app for TikTok and Instagram posting. Additionally, it seems to lack flexibility in areas such as naming links. Overall, while it excels in organization, it may not meet all users' expectations in terms of functionality.

Milanote has de most efficient yet faster Mind mapping tool on the market. The visual workspace and all its flexibility, make brainstorming gets easier and faster. Mainly when you need to work remotely and need to share files, ideas, copy texts, mood boards, etc. with collaborators or partners in your projects. I really love the use of icons, images, and charts to visualize any project management workflow or idea.

I'm still giving it a try, but for now, it feels very complete and it brings me all the tools I need for my projects. Maybe I do prefer using it on my PC or Laptop than on mobile... but it is just an opinion...

Everything, from the design to the ease of use and the overall experience, I also like that I haven't had a single problem to date with this amazing tool

That is not known more, yes Milanote is that perfect, I wish more people use it so it would be even better in terms of sharing and collaborating.

I love that you can organize thoughts and things in a visual way. The tool can be used to plan designs or anything really using a visual layout. You can also save links to websites and make notes etc. You can make some amazing mindmaps and vision boards using Milanote.

The price is a bit prohibitive for me personally. The free tier allows a medium level of usage. I think with a few more features it could replace other tools like evernote.

Ease of use, very visual and intuitive. Being able to organize everything the way I want is one of my favorite features compared to other tools like Evernote that I found quite restrictive in this sense. The possibility to create any possible combination of notes, boards, images, it's great and allows to create each board different according to your needs.

Still lots of things to add and improve, especially for the cost it has. In my opinion, the actual price of the pro version doesn't justify the features available. There is no android app, so it's almost impossible to use on your mobile phone, becoming just a desktop app. I miss the option to upload files of any type and modify the notes to be wider if we need so we can add paragraphs of text easily.

It's very aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. I love that i can collaborate with friends for free whereas some alternatives make you pay money to even try out the real time collaboration features.

I would like some more features but not too many so that it doesn't become bloated like Notion.Maybe i just haven't found it yet but it would be nice if we had rows along with the column feature. or maybe just put 2 in 1 and call it a grid? I tried to add cards to the right or left of other ones in a column and sadly it didn't work. It's not a big deal though.

I love when I can write and see my beat sheet and outline visually, because text sometimes is annoying.

Limit of cards when you're creating content.

The ease of use is definitely one of the pros. The software is fast/easy to learn , and easy to use. It lets you focus on the task at hand and not get frustrated with convoluted user experiences.

More functionality around team collaborate would be great. A way to see who is leaving feedback or comments and a way to comment back. Maybe in a comment thread.

I love the basics of a movable board. It is most like my brain so I like to fill up images and colors to help brainstorm. The web clipper has been a huge improvement too and allowed me to read more articles.

Least I like the zoom option and sizing options. I fill boards a lot and would like to zoom out more easily, or have there be a way to make articles smaller on my board. I think of Adobe illustrator and how often I zoom in and out to see where I am at.

Milanote its perfect for documenting ideas, brainstorms and moodboards, and it is a joy to use.
Every project i work in starts setting up a milanote page for pre-production, to discuss ideas and gather references, and visualize all these ideas in a a Canvas.

Sincerally, i dont think theres something that i dislike, the software does wonderfully what i want it to do.
