User Reviews for Muse — dive into big ideas

iPad at its most creative

I was about 75 cards into Muse before the light bulb went on: This is a game-changer! Finally, an app that views the iPad not as an iPhone or laptop, but as a unique tool for creative work. A board is a Tabula Rosa where you can place and move cards, drawings, other boards, etc. The interactions are visual and tactile using fingers, the pencil and the keyboard. It took me awhile to appreciate all of the design choices as I was coming from the usual Drafts/Bear/Roam/Notion/Notes world (yeah, finding the right notes app is a quest). Muse is truly different. Now, I use Muse for the creative stuff and Notes for more quotidian needs. I'm guessing that this is still early days for Muse and that it will add features like links in future releases. The subscription prices is much less than Roam's $180/year. Given the power of Muse, you could almost say it's a bargain.

❤️ Muse!

Tried this board-style app for the first time yesterday; I was so amazed by its capabilities, I purchased a subscription. Features I love: ability to post anything (files, videos, gifs, pics, draw with pen, urls, etc.), I can see pages of books on my board (!), and mostly, having everything all on one page, allowing me to see the BIG picture. Hopefully the 500-card limit will suffice, because the pro (unlimited cards) subscription is totally out of my price range. Please, Muse Team, allow for a one-time purchase capability. Highly recommended for those who like to stay organized.

Missing features

No tables, no bullets, no variety of text boxes. There’s no zooming within one board. This could be better than notion or OneNote if it wanted to be but it is missing loads of common features of other apps.

Game Changing App for Business and Life

The team at Muse have created an incredible product oriented toward creativity and organization. The app uniquely manages to combine a blank canvas with structural organization, in turn presenting an opportunity for unrestrained thought and productivity. Never before have I been more effective in terms of idea generation and project development than I have with Muse at my disposal. In addition, the founders behind Muse have been incredible to work with. Their ability to source feedback on the product (and most importantly, act upon it) has allowed them to take a game changing application and continually improve on it. With a dynamite product and a special team committed to improvement, Muse will only get better with time. I’ll be along for the journey, and am excited to see how this app will impact others in similar ways to what it has done for me.

The quality and usability of this app are off the charts

I’m a visual thinker, and I’ve tried a lot of brainstorming apps before. Muse blows everything I’ve tried out of the water. The gestures are really intuitive and save a lot of time once you get used to them. The app does a great job teaching you how to use the functionality. I didn’t even need the pro membership, but I upgraded because I appreciate the attention to detail and quality that the Muse team has obviously put into this application. You can tell they’re passionate about this product!! 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, however you want to say it, this app is fantastic. You won’t regret downloading it, and it will change the way you do your work. I’m an app junkie (especially productivity apps), and I don’t write too many reviews. However, I’ll be fangirling about the Muse app to anyone who will listen for a long time!!

Perfect if you’re willing to not be perfect

I used different apps in my class to use technology more effectively. However, I would lose hours getting everything polished, and ultimately never use that template again.You can’t lock things into place. You might resize something by mistake. If you’re not OCD like I am or willing to let it go, it lets you work efficiently. The export to an interactive PDF is amazing and how I share personal “portfolios” for each of my students during class. Upcoming features that include view-only link sharing is the reason why I subscribed. If you are mindful of clutter, you will be fine with the free version. Just download backups.

The Muse app is like an app from far in the future.

I own and use pretty much every note taking and productivity app and there is nothing like Muse. It's like an app from the future. There is no friction to Maserati paced creativity. Congrats to the team on the update. With version 2 your Mac and iPhone greatly complement your workflow.

Life changing

I have ADHD, and I have always struggled to complete my readings for my classes and take effective notes. I’m also an art student and really think visually and spatially. Because of muse, for the first time in my 4 years as an undergrad, I’m getting my readings done (using side by side mode) and am able to organize my notes and ideas in a way that has really enhanced my learning experience and creative process. It’s like an extension of my brain! I also emailed the team with a question and they were quick and friendly in their reply. Thank you so much for creating this app!A few things that could be helpful in the future-Larger card space/ able to go any direction rather than just to the right (I have an iPad mini so I fill up the space quickly) -Ability to add cards within a Scribble card

Close, but still frustrating

There is no way to scale from within a board, so you have to make another board, transfer the content, then scale that board. For someone who thinks laterally and vertically this is frustrating and very time consuming. I could deal with that though, probably my biggest issue is the text. Double tap the screen gives you a text box, but as soon as I start writing with the pencil it goes to a weird paragraph box that’s way harder to work with. There’s literally no way to use the pencil with the standard snapping text boxes, you have to write and then copy and paste the results over. That’s tough to work with y’all. Finally, this thing needs handwriting recognition. I want to highlight a section and turn it to text like OneNote. In fact, it’s only because OneNote doesn’t do that on an iPad that I’m here looking for alternatives in the first place.

Wow! Great application for creative people!

Very well done. Especially multitouch actions and smooth transitions while zooming. Do you support cards tags and relations between them like in knowledge graph?

Use it to push yourself mentally and emotionally as far as you can go to find a pure, original, fresh result that is yours and yours alone. Here are some principles we used in designing Muse as a tool purpose-built for thinking. → Thinking is messy. Embrace the non-linear chaos of creativity. Don’t force labels, organization, or structure too early. → Ideas come from other ideas. Breakthroughs come from discovering new connections between seemingly disparate pieces of information. → Ideas love a sanctuary. Creativity is an act of vulnerability. Deep thinking needs a dedicated space that gives you confidence to express half-formed ideas, without fear of mistakes or judgement. → Tap the information firehose, but keep it at a distance. A thinking tool should help you take advantage of social media, email, and the web — without drowning out your own voice and original ideas. → People think best away from their desks. Reading in a relaxed posture in your armchair, sketching in a notebook in your favorite cafe, taking a long walk in the park — these are where some of our best ideas and freshest thinking emerge.
