## Reviews

### "The perfect knowledge management tool" — 5.0/5

> **Rafael J.** | *3 June 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I got TheBrain back in 2008 with PersonalBrain 4 Pro, to help me organize many education materials. I fall in love with the idea since then. It is probably one of the few subscriptions I do not feel pain to pay\! The continuous improvement is amazing.
> 
> **Cons**: Why this tool is not more popular... Every time I demo, it is like wow, but the overall awareness is very low.
> 
> I love it\! 😍 - Very good to manage lots of data an seeing the relationships around it

### "Best brain mapping application I know" — 5.0/5

> **Guy** | *17 July 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use The Brain to gather my thoughts, documents, writings, pictures and Internet links in one place with increadibles features.
> 
> **Cons**: The cloud services are quite expensive and the interface through a Web browser isn’t as good as a computer.
> 
> Great tool for mind mapping and manage think tank. Works well on Windows and Macintosh computers as expérienced.

### "Bringing Order to Chaos" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *1 May 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The brains ability to have multiple parents and jump relationships to any topic. I can quickly move a lot of abstract information into the brain and then start to apply a structure to it.
> 
> **Cons**: Learning curve is a big issue. Not because the product is difficult to use,, but because it is so different.
> 
> Customer service has been incredible over the years. \[sensitive content hidden\] is the best customer service person I have ever worked with. I love how the programmers are constantly pushing new boundaries and improving the platform.

### "Literally, my brain. I keep everything I know I'll forget in it." — 5.0/5

> **PAUL** | *8 March 2024* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My physical brain doesn't do well with software like Evernote and Asana. It does a tad better with OneNote. However, The Brain is SO perfect because of all the associations. Meaning that if I add a recipe for apple pie, for example, it isn't limited to my category of "Desserts." I can also create other high-level categories like "Comfort Food" and "Off My Diet," etc. Most systems I've used are linear. The Brain is multi-dimensional. And getting to each category is a "piece of cake" because the drill-down process is so easy. Furthermore, I can type in the search bar and find what I'm looking for right away - no drilling down necessary. I use this thing for almost everything I will need later (did I like that restaurant? I'll ask my brain. What was the serial number for that software? I'll ask my brain.) It has saved me so many times.
> 
> **Cons**: The mobile app is never updated and simply doesn't work as well. Searching for things in the mobile app doesn't always work. I use the brain on mobile so much. I wish they would update it. 

Now they are creating a web version (a different one, they already have one which works okay) which in its current state is slower, web-based (not app based), and requires login every time I use it. It also doesn't display correctly nor scroll correctly (like when I'm typing, the keyboard covers what I'm typing). 

The web version is early, so it's unfair to judge. But the development on it is pretty slow. I hope they don't move us to only web-based because it's a bit frustrating to use. However, the new web version is also introducing new features, including AI, so there's SO much potential here. Now if they just update their mobile application to include all the new features, it'd be 5 stars in every category.
> 
> I have very few negative things to say about The Brain. It is phenomenal and fast. It has been around a looong time, too. I'm loving the new features coming out and I hope those get added to the app instead of staying web-based. But even if they changed nothing today, I'd still be using it probably forever. It's better than any other thought organization system out there. My gripes are mainly about the mobile experience, but it does still work - it's just due for an upgrade. 

They offer a free version which I used for a while. The only reason I decided to upgrade was to support the development. The upgrade allows tags and other things I don't use, so I don't really need it. But I'm happy to support people that make my life easier. And my life has become much easier with The Brain.

### "Excellent idea, poor execution" — 2.0/5

> **Kate** | *5 October 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Thebrain enables me to think the way my brain does.  Instead of a hierarchical data map, it allows to quickly and easily create associations, so one node will appear in my client's tasks, the person who is doing the task, in Focus cluster for the week, and so on.  I found it fantastic as a task management tool by assigning TODO task type to anything that I want on my list, Follow up for things I delegated, and so on. It even has the ability to set reminders, color-code tasks so urgent matters jump out at me, and "Wander" around the brain, sort of scanning for anything interesting.
> 
> **Cons**: The Android app does not work at all since Android 9 came out. No support there. Does not have an API, so I can't integrate with any other workflow using Zapier. The software is unbelievable as a beta, but I am now looking for alternatives.
