TreePad Business Edition for Windows

User Reviews

• TreePad Business vs Maple Pro = Maple Pro Wins.

  jameskattMay 11, 2014

  Pros

  1. A good 2-pane outlining app. 2. Very tiny app size, easily fits on USB 3. Very small data files 4. Encryption for secrecy

  Cons

  1. Has not been updated in 4 years - essentially dead software - very sad. 2. If support as in previous reviews is resentful and argumentative, this does not bode well.

  Summary

  I wish the software was still being actively developed. Otherwise, I'm going with Maple Pro - which provides similar capabilities and is actively developed.

• Overall a good program

  June 7, 2011

  Pros

  When I first tried the Treepad line of products, I was thrilled! Since then my estimate of the products has gone down somewhat, but I still like Treepad Business Edition.

  Cons

  Tech support could be better.

  Summary

  Worth a look see.

• TreePad is a important part of me

  pbuchsbaumNovember 8, 2010

  Pros

  * It's a new paradigma. My world is in a tree, and the nodes contains text, images and links that I want. I can search in any subtree, etc. * All relevant bookmarks, tips, information, hints I put in my Treepad in a single file.

  Cons

  * The interface is cluttered. * There are some small (but annoying) persitents bugs. (For instance, copy and paste to Word spoil the links) * I'm forced to open one instance for each file opened. I don't want to buy enterprise version.

  Summary

  It's my favorite shareware for years. No more words!

• Unbelievable gall from "support"

  rodtOctober 26, 2010

  Pros

  Product concept is promising, would likely be a good product

  Cons

  Quirky operation, numerous bugs. "Support" provided only resentfully. LATEST: Report that Tree outline expand and collapse hot keys do not work. Response from "support": "We already made too many revisions to the product." Well, EXCUSE me!!!!

  Summary

  This software promises more than it delivers. The programmers appear to be in somewhat over their heads. Program operation not seamless, somewhat quirky. Interface is not especially intuitive. Numerous bugs, usually minor, but cumulative effect makes program increasingly less useful. "Support" is usually provided resentfully, even arrogantly, if at all. LATEST: I reported that hot keys claimed to expand and collapse Tree outline pane do not work. (Actually, they work sometimes, but then affect other key operation, indicating a bug.) THIS IS AN OUTLINING PROGRAM, I.E., SAID HOT KEYS ARE NOT SUPERFLUOUS TO PROGRAM OPERATION. Response from Tech Support: "We already made too many updates to that program." Gosh, pardon me for asking you to do your job! I am using the top of the line TreePad X Enterprise edition, having previously used the Business edition. One would think the publisher would be anxious to support, troubleshoot, debug its showcase version, but.... I admit, I've submitted quite a few bug reports, and I get the impression Tech Support is weary of hearing from me. Tough. I only report actual bugs and issues that render the program less useful than I bargained for. If the publisher carefully tested its own product, I would have nothing to report. Wishing for working hot keys to expand and collapse the outline in an outlining program doesn't seem to me to be an over-the-top request. Tech support even recently assailed me for availing myself of offered free upgrades. Good grief, it was your choice to offer them! if you don't want users to have them, don't offer them! This would likely be a very useful program if developed and published by a more conscientious developer. As it exists, it's okay if you're willing to live with a significant number of faults and compromises that will likely never be fixed.

• Very very useful Note management software

  eknvJuly 29, 2007

  Pros

  I like its tree-like view & the file encryption feature of this software..

  Cons

  It is a little slow for files bigger than 2MB. It also could look a little better but all-in-all I would recommend it.

• Great Help

  knikkerAugust 30, 2006

  Pros

  I already use it for years. <p>Apart from keeping my notes and thoughts structured there are 2 functions i really like. <p>The html export function: <p>Very quickly i can give my customers an url with structured information. <p>The catolog of files function: <p>I import the structure of all my mp3 dvd's en cd's. So it's easy to find on wich cd a particular song is. <p> <p>Because of these functions it deserves 5 stars.

  Cons

  The calendar and agenda are not very useful for me

• It's good, but ...

  January 26, 2005

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  ... flawed in two areas. It dosn't search through out different open databases at the same time, so you're limited to which one you've currently activated. And, 2ndly, it isn't free. Whereas KEYNOTE is more powerfull, has the search feature I wanted, and is FREE and BETTER than this!
