PCMAG appscout.pcmag.com – MagicalPad Review – by Terrance Gaines @BrothaTech on October 28th, 2011
MagicalPad was designed with business execs in mind, but anybody with a lust for high-level note/idea organization will appreciate the app’s ability to organize information in any way that they choose.
The emphasis is the app’s ability to structure any notes you’ve taken quickly and anywhere on one workspace by dragging and dropping individual notes/sections sections into larger sections. They call if freeform and that’s what it really is – no flipping through virtual pages, you can organize all your info one workspace, and move around that workspace to access different sections you have organized… Read more
148apps.com – MagicalPad Review – by Greg Dawson on October 7th, 2011
Overall Rating: 4.5
Category: GET THINGS DONE
User Interface Rating: 4.5
Re-use / Replay Value Rating: 4.5
I run my business out of my home and find myself searching for get things done, task management and organizational apps a lot. Beyond the daily to-dos, I also find myself writing down random notes on different pieces of paper in my office, on my kitchen table and just about anywhere I find paper and a pen.
While I’m a big fan of Orchestra for its ability to assign tasks as an individual or within a group, MagicalPad has given me a platform to create the necessary to-do lists as well as organize my thoughts, outlines and go beyond single tasks. And it only costs $.99 for this feature rich app that helps manage my business and personal life… Read more
mindmappingsoftwareblog.com – Capture and organize your ideas on the iPad – by Chuck Frey on Oct 28th, 2011
MagicalPad is a free-form notetaking and outlining tool that enables you to capture and organize your ideas on the iPad. It enables you create multiple sets of hierarchical outlines, and to arrange them in a free-floating workspace that resembles mind mapping.
Within a work space you can create any number of titles and nested topics, as well as free-floating topics by tapping and dragging them into whatever arrangement makes the most sense to you. Indenting and outdenting of topics is done with a finger swipe to the right or left, respectively. You can also customize the text and background color of each title and item – which gives you a way of visually classifying your information, in much the same way that you can use topic shapes and colors to group related topics together in mind mapping software….

webhostmagazine.com – Editors’ Choice Award for October 2011
MagicalPad is both a note taking, project developing, collaboration, jumble of an app. While some may want an application strictly for note taking, MagicalPad treats note taking as a stepping stone towards actual document creation. MagicalPad aims to allow its user the ability to produce finished works with the addition of information mapping. MagicalPad can create brainstorm diagrams, hierarchal lists, data drill downs, and other styles. These can then be shared via email. If MagicalPad was to be summed up in a single word it would be structured. MagicalPad can take simple notes and musings and turn even those idle scratchings into an organized document
There are note apps, in fact there is another in this month’s award list, and then there is MagicalPad that is more than just a note taking app. It is a brainstorming, collaboration, tool. For those who want an application that does more than just take notes there is MagicalPad and for that MagicalPad receives an Editors’ Choice Award for October 2011… Read more
