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. > > **Cons**: 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 awesome and an essential design organizational tool ----- ### "Milanote is a terrific creative canvas for ideation, research, collaboration and everyday notetaking" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *18 October 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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). > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- ### "A great product with a steep pricing model and no mobile apps for Android" — 5.0/5 > **Ricardo** | *15 October 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, tons of features that make it flexible specially for creative environments > > **Cons**: No mobile apps. Pricing is too steep if you live in the Android ecosystem as there is no app for this system. > > I found this app extremely easy to use, and it is highly recommended for creatives as it embraces fully the "limitless board" model. Sadly, there is no mobile apps for Android yet. Pricing is too steep with no middle option. ----- ### "One of the best tools for organizing creative projects within the team" — 5.0/5 > **Jovan** | *21 March 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: Struggling with shaping and moving arrows. > > 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. ----- ### "Made for Designers" — 5.0/5 > **Maria** | *17 October 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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\! > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/305434/milanote?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/305434/milanote) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
