• Feature Rich - but buggy

  PrimeroFin12/16/2012

  Pros

  -very versatile tree-style organizer -very good formatting tools -I absolutely love the functionality of this software, suits my organizational style perfectly -can export to MS Word for sharing out-put -fairly reliable copy/paste from various sources (Web sites, other software) -free version is very good (I only bought Pro version because I use it for business and did not want to violate any terms of service, but the free version is fine)

  Cons

  -buggy, occasionally wipes-out formatting (no data loss) -infrequent updates -no mobile OS support -poor support from on-line forum -other program features are of little use (contact manager, password manager -cannot export to any other common note taking software -concern about having so much valuable information stored in a proprietary format from a small (unreliable?) company, while you can export their files to a Word file, you would loose all of the organizational functionality of the tree organizer

  Summary

  I give this program 4.5 stars on tree-style note organization functionality However, the poor support, infrequent updates, and buggy behavior knock it down to a 3 stars

• My complicated life is (finally) organized.

  cnetJT271/10/2012

  Pros

  I teach, conduct research, attend meetings, write up papers, and analyze data for my job, and this is the first program that allows me to integrate all that desperate info and put it together into meaningful structures so that I can stay on top of things. My productivity has greatly improved and my stress level has greatly been reduced. And its free! Crazy!

  Cons

  The free version is too good, such that I feel guilty using it and not contributing in any way to the developers, so I'll probably buy the full version soon. (Yeah, kind of a joke Con, but, honestly, I really can't think of a real Con.)

  Summary

  Most useful program of the 50+ programs I have on my computer.

• Pretty, not reliable

  pecuiary12/8/2011

  Pros

  Arbitrary tree depth, very good note formatting tools, strong media support, tabs combined w/tree have the potential to be EXTREMELY useful organization tool. Good import and export tools - was amazed when it brougt in an html file folder structure pefectly.

  Cons

  Sorting. The software defaults to alpha sort in trees and subtrees. If I wanted that I could almost use a spreadsheet. Needs robust positional support and it doesn't have it. Also, tree record style editor is pretty clunky. Awkward to use but lots of options so it's a good/bad sort of thing. Also, support forum is problematic. Web admin approves/disproves any post to the support forum. I've got a problem with that.

  Summary

  After a trial of two weeks, I went ahead and paid for the Pro version, then put two weeks and about 80,000 words of data into it and it turned it into hash. I've spent four days reconstructing the database in an alternative package that doesn't reorder records at random. It has potential, and didn't *lose* any data, it just refused to serve it up the same way twice. If you value the organization of your data - you'll keep looking.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Dec 13, 2011<p/>One additional con: uninstall did not happen cleanly... app failed to remove the link in the start menu (Windows 7). If this app survives, I'll certainly look at it again in a few years.

• TreeDBNotes Free try it and you won't be disappointed

  DaddyDiBs10/7/2011

  Pros

  * Tree outline hierarchy. * Tabbed sections. * Link folders, notes in any combination. * Rich text formatting. * Place images and hyperlinks in notes.

  Cons

  * No spell check. * No password protection. Other functionality removes and available on paid versions.

  Summary

  It is a great organizer for notes, ideas, web clippings and any other sort of data you might need to organize. Developers website has full details on the Free vs Paid version. Any of the paid versions are well worth it and not expensive.
