Great design, Very decent user interface. Smooth navigation.
What I like most is the visualization of tags, notes, and pop-up description on the nodes. This should be the standard of application if Microsoft wants more users to use modern app in Win8.
Great work, developers.

Wired but simple. Little traditional documentation beside some example videos, but with a few minutes of experimentation along with the videos, you will be making mind maps easily. Doesn't get in the way like Visio and other more general software. For my purposes (personal GTD, project structure and management, it's quite helpful. And so very easy to use and powerful. Selection-dependent Item and relation category filters are so easy to use it's funny. And the highlighter auto node creation is astonishing. A useful range of import and export options too. And there is a free desktop version.

I would love to have the ability to move the items around and arrange them in any order I like.

3d idea is good.
shortcuts, not bad, like using "insert" button for creating new item.
there is a perfect feature in "text area" that if you select a part of text then automatically creates new node. But it is buggy. If it is a big text and exeeds text window i mean scroll down, When you select a text, after selection, every time pointer goes back the top of the text. This is horrible.
navigation is also very poor. Browse back -browse forward buttons usually can't work.
No presentation mode on win 8 metro version.
many time Mouse clicks can't get reaction from the mind map probably bacause of written with java. I guess win 8 metro and java still aren't ready to be together.
so, need to keep go on searching right mind map software on Windows 8.
Inforapid knowledgebase is definitally not a candidate for this.

The only native format. Would like to see others, such as mmp, etc...

Wonderful program with a ton of features. Very intuitive and easy to immediately get started on your next idea or project. Well done.

KnowledgeBase Builder is great. I hate all things linear. This app lets me mind map my to do list.

Very easy to get started doing a basic map. Read the developers website for additional tools that may not be readily obvious.

The visual appeal is nice! Just putting the map on a tilted plane with shadows works wonders for my orientation to the data. The drop shadows are nice. I would like to see the developer keep pushing the mapping approach and make this work like a touch friendly GIS mapping program. I think it would be great to zoom, pan and orbit the data to further strengthen the dimensional association with list items.

So far, this looks promising on my Surface RT. But it could be more touch-friendly than it is mouse-friendly. And the Web site says your private edition is free, but I can't tell which edition I have from the title.

After installing KnowledgeBase Builder, I was initially excited and spent a number of hours working on a chapter for my finance class; however, the next morning when I tried to access that file from my SkyDrive, the data was gone. Apparently I had not pressed the save button. One would think there might be an autosave feature that would have bailed me out of that mess. No warning appeared telling me that I might lose my data. And, so, the program is a bit unforgiving. Also, I lost data while I was building my map: each time I would add a new item, it would transfer my notes from the last item along with it. But, when I deleted the notes, it removed them from the previous item, as well. Some trial-and-error allowed me to figure some of it out, but it was really frustrating. I like the idea of this program and, so I recommend it because of its price as a nice way to get an intro to the genre of mind-mapping software.

Ok, I've read the first review and bought it anyway because the screen shots looked cool. It takes a little time to figure it out, but you can create unlimited items with unlimited relationships. You can mark each relationship and each item and, unlike so many mindmapping apps, you can link any item to any other item by going to "new relationship" and selecting that item from the list.
At first I got scared when I thought that some of my project items disappeared, but they reappeared when I zoomed in. I think I went to "navigate to items." This prevents your project map from being too cluttered. The app is amazing. You just need to spend some time playing around with it (i.e. building new and reverse relationship, navigating to items from a control panel, saving it. etc), but it took me about 5 minutes to figure out how everything works. Best tool for planning ridiculously large projects, which is what I needed and this is the ONLY app that could do what I wanted. Five stars!!!

Under delivered ... loved the concept but the app struggled to load data when the map was less than 25 objects large. Impossible to build a complete knowledge base that the app description said.
