Version: Cayra 0.9.5
"Awesome Mind Mapping Software!"
Pros: After learning about Tony Buzan's Mind Mapping techniques I searched for a good, cheap software to easily make them and here it is! I like the simple beauty and ability to organize my thoughts in a visually powerful way. The interface is simple to use and never any slow down
Cons: My only wish is that you could have attachments (Like opening Access database or Excel files) and add audio files for an extra bit of style. But I understand these are on the way and will probably be in future editions. These have no bearing on the overall sweetness of the app however.

Version: Cayra 0.9.5
"Great to work with and free!"
Pros: Great to work with; the best feature a mindmapper can have. Free too!
Not too much clutter (see above).Cons: Seems to be offline as a project.
Win7 not supported in standard package (see summary).
Link editing would be nice and file attachment, and layers (link-able).Summary: A small edit of the msi with Orca and it installs fine on Win7
[ "VsdLaunchCondition -> (FRMWRK3 AND VersionNT<600) OR VersionNT=600" - make "600" > "601" ]
It is a shame Cayra has gone (except for a few download sites, e.g. here)... read more >> -
Version: Cayra 0.9.5
"Best looking Mind Mapping freeware!"
Pros: It works really well and it's easy to use. The layout is the best looking amongst others, making it easier to remember thoughts. Just the layout I wanted!
Cons: Nil - couldn't ask for more fro a freeware.
Summary: Compared all the Mind Mapping freeware on CNet. This is definately the best looking. What more can one ask for?

Version: Cayra 0.9.5
"Good balance between usability and completeness"
Pros: Solid & intuitive interface provides low threshold to use, which essential to capture fleeting thoughts. Categorization, clouds and excellent searchability means that information can be easily retrieved even in very large and complex mindmaps.
Cons: - Large mindmaps can make interaction really slow.
- Would be nice if clouds could overlap
- I'd like the ability to lock a subset of nodes. Static mode always shows the entire map.
- A function to "disentangle" static mode would be very useful!Summary: Really efficient, fun and useful way to build a personal knowledge base and to clarify one's own conception of a subject matter. Only needs a few boosts (se "cons") to become revolutionizingly good!
