#Onenote gem mind map review trial#
There’s no trial for the app – you download, install, and have to pay USD20 / AUD29 to get the key to run it. Excellent service? But also a bit creepy. Despite the website and domain, he uses an MS Live email address, from which every email I sent was replied to immediately. It feels like a pseudonym, which with the ‘false’ Trojan malware warning, leaves me feeling uncomfortable. The author stated that it was an artefact of the licensing engine that he can’t change that triggers a false positive, but it would be the kind of thing you’d want to fix.Īdded to this is that while the company is based in, or linked to, China, the author’s name is Anglophone – “James Linton”, but he writes emails as if his native language is not English. Granted, that’s probably a false positive, but it leaves a sense of unease.
OneNote Gem, I was less familiar with, but I really, really wanted that mindmap, so I bit the bullet and bought it.įor a start, the company seems dodgy-as! The installer itself triggers a virus warning on Virus Total, saying that 1/37 of the virus scanners identified it as a Trojan. I use his excellent OneCalendar and a few of his OneNote macros, and they’re all excellent. I’m aware of the other major player, Onetastic, which is a one-man band in the form of Omer Atay, who now works for Microsoft directly. OneNote Gem appears to be a small company that produces productivity add-ons for OneNote. That I can’t get the best of both worlds. I love the fact that you can use it simultaneously as an organisational tool, and a presentation dashboard of your project.Īnd so, I hate the fact that there’s no mindmap in Onenote. I love the fact that you can visualise a hierarchy of ideas, or an org chart, and rearrange it dynamically. Although we all wish we were super-organised before and after every meeting, the fact is we’re not, and OneNote is there to take whatever I throw at it and make it instantly searchable and accessible everywhere.
I love the fact I can write a stream of consciousness during meetings I can add ToDo boxes, ToDo actions, meeting details from Outlook, and so much more.
