• (2017-11-05) Alyssa Leigh Smith: Favorite writing app! So helpful for any project where you need to organize your thoughts or the flow of ideas/events. Lovely layout and design. Be aware that if you really love the app and want to use it a lot, you will be asked to pay a monthly fee. But there's a sliding scale, so it's still a pretty great deal.
• (2017-09-17) cannot locate app in chrome browser even though says added
• (2017-08-29) Alvaro Luis Campos: Very helpful. It is the editor closest to human way of thinking.
• (2017-08-22) Richard Beddard: Makes organising writing enjoyable and intuitive.
• (2017-05-16) Nick Ada: Simple and powerful - Takes 5 minutes to get the hang of the hotkeys and then it is like dumping all your thoughts into an easy navigatable and adjustable layout. I can't believe it is free and web-based. Chromebookgasm. (donations optional) The workbooks (trees) are shareable and downloadable, but I work alone and now I want to replace Trello with this! I hope this is around for a long time and continues to be improved.
• (2017-01-26) Daniel Reeders: This might seem harsh but I really, really, really want a writing app where I don't have to even think about Markdown. I'm an academic writer and I actually need all the punctuation marks that Markdown uses. Programmers who make apps only for people like themselves are inherently limiting their target market.
• (2016-11-22) Jennie Flor: This app is total crap. I was in the final stretch of finishing my book when it crashed on me - twice! I lost in total about 3 hrs of edits. Oh, but I thougth I was ok b/c the In FAQ's they say "We are also using a “commit” system on the backend, so every change you make is saved, and nothing is ever permanently deleted" Total lie - I lost tons of material. As a side note - I asked Adriano to refund me and I wouldn't leave this. He couldn't have cared less about the heartache his app caused me. Forget you Adriano.
• (2016-11-18) Filippo Salaris: Very interesting... I 'd love an Italian version
• (2016-10-31) Ray: Absolutely brilliant. I write reviews very rarely, but this tool is incredible. I've been looking for something like this for a long time, and I'm so happy I've found it! Amazingly well done app. You definitely should try it out.
• (2016-10-26) Lindley Walter-Smith: Very nice. Easy to use and clean, with a fullscreen Markdown editor when needed. Wish I could buy outright rather than choose between limiting cards and subscribing, though--that's the only reason I've deleted a star.
• (2016-10-23) T.I. Youssef: Great web app. Google should buy this and make it free. Fifty dollars a year?? Pretty cruddy business model. This will definitely be disrupted in a couple years; it's not like they own the patent on flow charts.
• (2016-09-26) Ilya Yatsevich: I tried this app and I like it! I think it will useful to structurize my thoughts before posting in blog. But how can I use it on my smartphone?
• (2016-09-14) Carlos Eduardo Morreo: I very much like this browser-based app! It's up there with Workflowy and Calmy Writer, and Writer on chrome. Though it could be "a bit more chrome and less website link". Still, it is really a great writing and outliner or note-taking app and is well developed too, such that I now use it just about daily. I would like to be able to tweak the colour scheme, and the default size of the cards, and the fonts, etc. I would gladly purchase the app for these sorts of features. But would not pay a monthly subscription and certainly not 5 monthly! Why so pricey? Like many others, I try not to lean too heavily on subscription apps, but Gingko is such a great idea. So, I await a better pricing scheme in order to support it monetarily, which I would very much like to do.
• (2016-08-29) Hussein Horack: Awesome idea! I just don't have any money, that's all.
• (2016-08-17) Great tool for collaborative writing or for GTD. Store and develop your thoughts and projects in a brain-minded way.
• (2016-08-04) wow. game changing for screenwriter!
• (2016-03-24) Breeze cholesteatoma surgery with CO2 laser: Beautiful Outliner + Mindmap + Google Keep All in one. Moreover it works beautiful. Fantastic writing tool.
• (2016-02-08) vic dey: Amazing App!! Love it and will definitely use it!! I love the monthly billing option.
• (2016-02-07) Atom Nous: This app really enables you to make a story with snowflake technique. You build an idea, then elaborate it to few branches, continuously. I've been loking an app like this, this is the only thing that match what I need, with a free trial. Too bad I don't have credit card to subscribe to it.
• (2016-02-04) Hasan Busro: I love this
• (2015-12-15) Clint Tham: AMAZING! LIFE CHANGING APP!
• (2015-12-14) Luís Lopes Cardoso: Very useful! I use it to plan choir rehearsals, from a minimal detail (tree branch) to maximal detail (tree subbranch) and evaluation and register (subsubbranch). If there was an Android App I wouldn't need to print the planning to take it to the rehearsal room. Great App!
• (2015-11-17) Alex Harbron: I am a writer and Gingko is my ultimate app for creative workflow. I am able to capture creative ideas, build and organise plot, and even start writing my first draft, all in one place on the laptop. I found Gingko easy to learn - I was writing and organising scenes within minutes and felt a sense of mastery over the app within a few hours. I particularly like how Gingko enables me to flit between overview and detail seamlessly with a very clever design solution. I hope this app continues to develop in response to its users as I now consider it an essential tool in my writing.
• (2015-10-29) EJ Kim: I loved this app but for some reason I can't login to it anymore. Its really sad and frustrating just thinking about all the work being inaccessible to me.
• (2015-10-27) Ben Tóth: There is no way better to organize large, and intricate structures of information.
• (2015-10-11) Nick del Pozo: Great app. **Really great idea!** But monthly billing is a terrible idea, and it's basically an online app. If it were offline, cross platform, and had a reasonable price tag, like maybe $50 bucks, this would be great. Until then, this app is tragically flawed.
• (2015-09-02) Samuel Bailey: I would love to say I love this app, but to be honest, the Chrome web store doesn't allow me to add it to my browser. In other words, it says it's installed, but it's not. Additionally, though it "says" it's installed, it won't let me uninstall - which I'd like to do to see if I can try to make the install work this time. This app is completely inaccessible and in my book, that's the same as being a bad app.
• (2015-08-19) Hans van der Horst: Awesome app and getting better and better almost every day.
• (2015-08-19) Ross McIntosh: This is superb - as soon as I've written this review I'm going to subscribe. I'm using it for my Masters Dissertation. It's proving to be invaluable for the thematic analysis of my results.
• (2015-08-10) David Rowthorn: First of all, this is not strictly a chrome app, but a link to an online app. However, the app itself is FANTASTIC. It has instantly become my goto for writing because, unlike any writing app I've ever used, Gingko builds the structure of my thought into the writing process. It's like creating a mind map that gradually gets filled with the the actual content of one's writing, eventually yielding a well-structured piece that can be exported as a word document (or LaTeX, txt etc.). Another way to look at it is as a set of index cards arranged in a tree, which can contain anything from whole paragraphs to single words to images and links. Gingko has many other uses beyond writing, but I have not really explored them. Its writing power, especially for longer projects, is enough to merit 5 stars. Be aware that this app is not really free: it is limited to 100 cards per month without signing up for a paid account. I signed up straight away, knowing I would use the app extensively. It costs around $5 per month, but unlike many apps, users are not required to pay for the whole year at once, so it can be cancelled easily at any time. Despite already being one of the best writing apps out there, Gingko still lacks certain features, including: * Offline support * Organisation of trees (i.e. Gingko projects) * Document history
• (2015-08-02) Perfect for outlining--it just needs offline support for a 5-star rating.
• (2015-06-04) Barry Greene: This is an absolutely superb software product with unlimited uses.
• (2015-05-31) TJ Wilson: This has been a great app for getting my ideas somewhere and then taking them further. I love the flow. I do wish it was more WYSIWYG but in the end the formatting pieces are simple to grasp and use.
• (2015-05-14) Mac Smith: Its got potential but still rough around the edges.
• (2015-05-02) Simon Gallings: Replaces my word processor and Evernote!!! Best app ever!
• (2015-04-25) Mark Simoneau: I am trying to complete a novel. Have been using scrivener. And this seems like a great alternative. Moreover, it seems great for outlining too.
• (2015-02-09) Bangol Phoenix: Its' the best application for writing. There are similar apps like workflowy but they can't do better than this app when it comes to writing something long. Moreover, it's visually stunning!
• (2015-01-07) Scott Clegg: Fantastic. Using it to outine both my screenplay and my serial novel.
• (2015-01-05) Keno Ezeo: Awesome...!
• (2014-10-10) Sophia Summers: I actually loved the program but there is no freaking way I am going to pay $4.99 per month to use it
• (2014-09-13) Mailani McKelvy: AWESOME way to orgaize your thoughts and is exactly what I enjoy. It is amazing and easy to navigate and you just keep on writing!
• (2014-07-29) Josh Miller-Watt: Great concept, but the fact it's not available offline is a big deal for me personally, as I take a lot of notes away from a network. If offline/local save functionality can somehow be implemented, I'd easily rate this 5 stars and pay money for it.
• (2014-07-15) John Larrison: Like what I've seen but it stopped saving cards. Likely a limit on the free version. Would have been nice to know the limits of the free version before I started putting any real project information in
• (2014-04-18) Rory H D Cooper: Great for laying out ideas and seeing a panoramic view of your developing thoughts - in a horizontal sequence. Forget up and down, left to right is the logical choice for the literate.
• (2014-04-04) Suki Leith: I just got done testing every.single note-taking app out there and this one just blew me away -- because you can be organized but it can FLOW, the same way you think. It's great because I didn't just want to take notes, but I wanted my research to become useful and relevant. The only way it could be improved would be to add a clipping extension, but I understand how they want to keep storage to a minimum. Maybe that could be a premium feature? But whatever, you can save a snapshot/presentation of your work if you're afraid of links disappearing. Great, job. Innovative. Life saver. THANK YOU!
• (2014-03-10) Jon Evans: Awesome app! I use it as a game designer to lay out all of my systems as I find it much easier to track what parts work with what other parts with a tree system as opposed to a linear word document. I'll never go back to writing linear docs again!
• (2014-02-19) Jacob Baker: Great tool to organize content.
• (2013-11-17) Adolfo Treviño: Great App! you just need to make an Android and iOS version and I'll subscribe
• (2013-10-15) Robert Walz: A slick and easy to use outliner, highly recommended.
• (2013-09-24) Jules Morrison: Gingko is a very useful outliner. This "app" is really just a bookmark, but still welcome.
