Milanote reviews

The BEST project management tool 2022

Opmerkingen: great experience. would definitely use it for future projects

Pluspunten:

This can be used in so many ways, from whiteboard to mind maps, to brainstorming ideas. lets you use words or imported pics

Minpunten:

Allowing access can be frustrating sometimes

Milanote Just Works!

Opmerkingen: Milanote is a great software that allows for quick and easy iteration of ideas using their built-in flexible tools to mindmap, organize, and sketch out almost any idea you could have!

Pluspunten:

Milanote is a very versatile solution to ideation and whiteboarding that does a great job. It is perfect for online moodboards, storyboarding, documentation, and mindmaping.

Minpunten:

I wish rather than having a card limit for all boards there was a board limit and a card limit per board. As is, the software doesn't have enough PAID features to make the paid version worth it, and the free version is lacking enough to use it as anything other than an idea board. I still prefer Jira or Trello for project management, and PureRef for my moodboards (even though that doesn't allow for collaboration and isn't online).

Effortlessly Organize Your Creative Ideas with Milanote

Pluspunten:

As a user, I highly recommend Milanote for organizing and scaling up the clarity of ideas. The flexible drag-and-drop interface allows me to arrange my projects in a way that makes the most sense for each one. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing me to quickly find everything I need. The visual appearance is beautiful and feels like bullet journaling, and the ability to adjust the boards to any length or width is a fantastic feature. I have used many project and content management systems in the past, but Milanote stands out as one of the cleanest and most user-friendly. I love using it to create and manage my social media calendars.

Minpunten:

Milanote falls short in some functionalities, such as lacking edit history tracking and restricting content on mobile app for TikTok and Instagram posting. Additionally, it seems to lack flexibility in areas such as naming links. Overall, while it excels in organization, it may not meet all users' expectations in terms of functionality.

I have a love/hate relationship with MIlanote!!!

Opmerkingen: Milanote needs rethink it's membership program. There needs to be something that attracts customers back on a weekly basis. And in the current freemium service, there is a reason to go back and use Milanote once your 100 boards are used up. I believe Milanote should give users 5-10 free boards every month. I believe this will get people to use the program more often, more comfortable using the program, and collaborate with their people, eventually purchasing like I did.

Pluspunten:

Milanote is fun and easy to use. I really like this tool a lot. Whenever I need to storyboard an idea, I go to Milanote.

Minpunten:

The free boards and subscriptions don't make any sense. Milanote gives 100 free boards. That's wonderful!!! However, once you use up the 100 boards, your only option is to purchase a monthly subscription regardless if you use one new board or 1000 new boards. I only use Milanote in seasons, meaning I use it for 20 days each quarter. I purchased a yearly subscription and after 6 months I realized I only used it for about 40 days. So purchasing a yearly subscription for 80 days of use is a waste of money. I did purchase it one month at a time, but that was annoying.

Milanote's Evolutionary Journey 😇✈️😊

Opmerkingen: Collaboration, streaming work flow, better project management, this software is a must for any business, 5*****'s.

Pluspunten:

It has so many features, post graphic previews, pdf document sharing, brainstorming sessions, video content, website development, project management, team management, and last but not least, a great tool at a great price.

Minpunten:

When this software came along, I was fairly disappointed, I compared it to the likes of cling. Since its evolutionary journey has progressed, the company have listened to feedback of its users. That initially was the big hang up. Not listening. It had so much potential, just didn't tap into what the customer saw and wanted. Now however, things are very different, and its a pleasure to work with.

Nice tool for millenial teams

Opmerkingen: I used the app quite a lot at the beginning and tried to pull all my colleagues into using it. After some projects we realized that the free tier is slightly unusable for us and so we moved to something else.

Pluspunten:

I like the overall appearance of the tool and the way it allowed me to store ideas and data in one place and share it with others. Visually and simply via drag-and-drop.

Minpunten:

The structuring of content in layers and "buckets" went so far it became nearly impossible to know where what asset is stored.

Clean, easy to use system of visual organization for designers.

Opmerkingen: Milanote is awesome and an essential design organizational tool

Pluspunten:

I started using Milanote when it was in beta, when I was looking for a neater alternative to Trello. I do design work, so being able to put pictures and text wherever I want is really important. It's equally, important, though, that everything be neat and easy to organize. I mostly work by myself with a handful of individual clients. I can work on Milanote without having to deal with excess team features, but still share the boards with clients via a "secret link". (They can also join the board fully if they're members.) Milanote has also been steadily adding features that have really helped me to use it even more and with greater ease, particularly the Mac desktop app. Pulling in links is especially useful, as it shows you some of the webpage as well as the URL itself. I also love that I can embed GIFs and have them work as they're supposed to. (Airtable, for example, will just show it as a still image in a larger view.) Being able to show clients exactly what I'm talking about is huge, and the fact that it's easy to organize and make changes to really helps. It's standardized in its design but gives me everything I need.

Minpunten:

There's no integration with Zapier yet. I believe that's on the roadmap, but it'll definitely make a difference when I can connect a particular design board with tasks on Todoist, for example.

Milanote is a terrific creative canvas for ideation, research, collaboration and everyday notetaking

Opmerkingen: Milanote is a creative workflow asset. It allows me to rapidly iterate on just about anything that's how versatile I've found it to be.

Pluspunten:

Milanote has an elegantly simple interface. It's great for capturing notes on the go, consolidating and mapping your research findings, organising your creative ideas, arranging all of the above into projects and using whatever system/workflow suits you (and your team, in realtime).

Minpunten:

As a product, Milanote sits somewhere between a fully-fledged word processor and an online file storage service, like Dropbox. It's not either of those extremes, so manage your expectations! However, it is absolutely terrific at filling the void in between.

The outline king

Pluspunten:

I love when I can write and see my beat sheet and outline visually, because text sometimes is annoying.

Minpunten:

Limit of cards when you're creating content.

The Whiteboard that doesnt get in the Way

Opmerkingen: Its a fun software, it really is. When i gather my team around it to start brainstorm a project, milanote works so smoothly and so intuitive, everyone fells comfortable.

Pluspunten:

Milanote its perfect for documenting ideas, brainstorms and moodboards, and it is a joy to use. Every project i work in starts setting up a milanote page for pre-production, to discuss ideas and gather references, and visualize all these ideas in a a Canvas.

Minpunten:

Sincerally, i dont think theres something that i dislike, the software does wonderfully what i want it to do.

I can't live without Milanote, I use it for EVERYTHING

Opmerkingen: Everything I used to do with a corkboard I can now do on Milanote. I have so much of my planning, writing, and proposals in this software now, it is my go-to anytime I need to quickly get something out of my head and onto "paper". It's the one software I can't imagine running my business without.

Pluspunten:

I use Milanote daily, for everything from mapping out a new story to creating wireframes for clients, to merely clipping quotes from the web for later use. It is such a versatile tool. I think of it like Evernote, but without all of the constraints. If you are a visual person who likes to storyboard out your ideas without having to fit it in a box, this is perfect. The templates are really great too.

Minpunten:

The mobile app has been a long time coming and I'm getting happier with it by the day. I do wish I could share the live board with clients or friends without them needing to signup, like a view-only option, but that's not a dealbreaker since the export to PDF option fills in the gap.

Easiest way to organize strategies and workflows

Opmerkingen: This is the main tool that my team and I turn to when organizing new marketing campaigns, outlining strategies and gathering inspiration.

Pluspunten:

Super easy to organize ideas and share concepts with the team. The ability to add arrows, imagery and comments makes it super easy to decipher complex ideas with the team in one view. The ability to add links right onto the board with previews make for a great visual planning tool. The Milanote team provides amazing ongoing communication with examples of how other users organize their projects and new features

Minpunten:

The comment feature is great for team input, but there is no way to hide comments while previewing the board without completely dismissing it/deleting the comment altogether. When sharing a collaborative board with my team, I would love it if they were able to view other's comments with the ability to turn the comment view on and off

One of the best tools for ideation

Pluspunten:

Milanote it's pretty easy to understand and to deploy within your team. Also the tools that they have for making mudboards or brainstorms are amazing, with that and the facilities for collaboration you can ideate projects or products on your computer like having your teamates next to you.

Minpunten:

You can't track the progress of activities on a detailed way, also you can't see how many activities each team member have to do. At the end I understand that Milanote it's not focusing on these things but it would be nice to have them.

Ultimate Planning Software

Opmerkingen: I am currently using Milanot to plan every of my project and it's so very helpful.

Pluspunten:

Planning has never been easier, I am able to add links, images etc. It's just like seeing what your final output would be like even before it is launched. I remember planning my website on Milanote first, and I still plan all my projects and campaign here, draft out my designs and scripts for the video here also. The guide at the beginning also helps to familiarize yourself with the app and how it works. Great Tool!!!

Minpunten:

First of all, most time, I want to also work offline, but can't and I really wished there was a possibility. They should also consider cutting down the price a little, the other option is referring to get more space.

One of the best tools for organizing creative projects within the team

Opmerkingen: When you need to create content from stretch you need to have everything organized in one place (copy, visuals, external sources etc.) and everything needs to be visually well arranged.
Milanote provides us everything you need in one place, so we can move faster with our tasks and deadlines.

Pluspunten:

I like to use Milanote for website content creation, customer journey mapping and even for creating simple diagrams. The learning curve of using this tool is not so long, you can conclude everything that tool can do within the few hours. Great UX and UI visual experience.

Minpunten:

Struggling with shaping and moving arrows.

Milanote is a great tool and fun to use

Opmerkingen: I use Milanote to help plan my website and make mindmaps about future content for my site. It's a great way to save notes and photos to inspire you and your team.

Pluspunten:

I love that you can organize thoughts and things in a visual way. The tool can be used to plan designs or anything really using a visual layout. You can also save links to websites and make notes etc. You can make some amazing mindmaps and vision boards using Milanote.

Minpunten:

The price is a bit prohibitive for me personally. The free tier allows a medium level of usage. I think with a few more features it could replace other tools like evernote.

Made for Designers

Opmerkingen: I'm able to feel more organized. As a designer, I benefit greatly from having everything in one place vs physical boards. I can take it with me on the go, on my phone and it's been great for collaboration with my team.

Pluspunten:

My favorite aspect of Milanote is having the ability to create different boards. I work as a UX designer so the boards have been an amazing way to collect research, images, references and to compile them in a way that is visually easy to look at and organized.

Minpunten:

When I have long pieces of text, it tends to expand in length but not in width. Having more control of the text boxes so they can be adjusted using the cursor in terms of both width and height would be very useful!

Tus ideas se quedarán bien organizadas y protegidas

Opmerkingen: Me parece una idea perfecta si eres una persona que está siempre pegada a un teléfono, tablet u ordenador. Tus ideas estarán a salvo, y en cualquier momento podrás hacer los ajustes necesarios y compartirlo con quien quieras. Otra cosa que podría destacar en la posibilidad que te ofrecen para exportar el documento en otros formatos.

Pluspunten:

Es ideal para organizar tus ideas de un trabajo o proyecto, tanto en solitario como en equipo. Lo mejor es que a nivel visual, puedes colocar los objetos (imagen o texto) según tus prioridades.

Minpunten:

Por ahora no hay nada malo que destacar.

Very happy with the ease of use and the possibilities. But there's still much to improve.

Opmerkingen: Organise projects I'm working on and future ideas and projects. Feel a bit more organize with it, but still needs a lot of improvements to really be used much more. Especially for the price it has.

Pluspunten:

Ease of use, very visual and intuitive. Being able to organize everything the way I want is one of my favorite features compared to other tools like Evernote that I found quite restrictive in this sense. The possibility to create any possible combination of notes, boards, images, it's great and allows to create each board different according to your needs.

Minpunten:

Still lots of things to add and improve, especially for the cost it has. In my opinion, the actual price of the pro version doesn't justify the features available. There is no android app, so it's almost impossible to use on your mobile phone, becoming just a desktop app. I miss the option to upload files of any type and modify the notes to be wider if we need so we can add paragraphs of text easily.

Working with Milanote has made tasks like mood-boarding and team collaboration so easy.

Pluspunten:

The ease of use is definitely one of the pros. The software is fast/easy to learn , and easy to use. It lets you focus on the task at hand and not get frustrated with convoluted user experiences.

Minpunten:

More functionality around team collaborate would be great. A way to see who is leaving feedback or comments and a way to comment back. Maybe in a comment thread.

Fantastic way for me to organize my crazy ideas.

Opmerkingen: Ability to organize my thoughts and projects.

Pluspunten:

I love the basics of a movable board. It is most like my brain so I like to fill up images and colors to help brainstorm. The web clipper has been a huge improvement too and allowed me to read more articles.

Minpunten:

Least I like the zoom option and sizing options. I fill boards a lot and would like to zoom out more easily, or have there be a way to make articles smaller on my board. I think of Adobe illustrator and how often I zoom in and out to see where I am at.

Easy and effective way creating Diagrams.

Pluspunten:

Milanote is great tool to create and draw your ideas/projects from the scratch. Or if you prefer you can start a project from template, making your job a lot easier.

Minpunten:

I'm not a big fan of Milanote user experience, or user interface, it is outdated, hopefuly it wil lbe updated in the future.

Collaboration at its best.

Pluspunten:

Milanote is by far most efficient and most easy tool to use. Every feature is very well optimized and collaboration between me and my team is just amazing. We can even create a live chat and have a conversation about ongoing topics.

Minpunten:

The only thing i dont like about MilaNote is its default color scheme which is not that pleasent to my eyes. Other then that it is perfect. Im sure they will work more on their UX.

CREATIVITY ALL IN ONE

Opmerkingen: I started due to a recommendation of a youtuber, and I really loved it. Now I use the app on my phone and desktop, is great to show and explain ideas to my co workers and clients.

Pluspunten:

As a creator Im in love with this software, I tend to do a lot of visual moodboard to pitch ideas to clients of my agency,but also for me to develop new workflows, marketing strategies and more. With Milanote Im able to have all the ideas in one board and access to them with connectors so all of the strategy and workflows stays consistent. Also I have access to those boards from my phone.

Minpunten:

It is limited to a certain amount of cards, but this is only in the free version. The paid one is really unexpensive and gives you a lot of great options.

The Best Platform for Planning

Opmerkingen: Milanote has made it possible for me to create reusable templates that I can apply countless times to different projects. And, it's helped me break down UX and UI to the smallest detail without losing focus or causing any confusion.

Pluspunten:

Milanote is a beautiful combination of UX and UI planning, and more. I've been able to use it for everything from website IA, moodboards, and portfolio design to resume-building and creative briefs. It's highly versatile. If you've ever used Trello, its Column and Note functions will feel pretty familiar. Another helpful feature is the ability to nest projects within each other. I.e., if you have a single project that has 10 parts, and each part has its own set of tasks, you can create a single column as the top-level board for the overall project. Then, you can create boards for each of the 10 parts, but have them all live within the top-level board. So, it becomes one self-contained column with everything related to that single project, and you can click into any of the 10 parts as needed. It's fantastic!

Minpunten:

The only thing I would add to Milanote would be to have the ability to snap objects into place as you move them. The screen is set up with dots, sort of like a grid. This helps you line up items somewhat, but they're not always perfectly aligned with each other (they can end up slightly off from one another as you slide them around the screen).
