Stuck on how to tackle a complex  assignment?  Consider brainstorming by mindmapping  using Inspiration Maps. Inspiration Maps is an iPad app that allows you to visually organize information.

The app is particularly useful  for writing about complicated or complex topics  requiring a well planned and well-organized essay.

The app comes with number of great looking templates for all different subject areas. If none of the templates meet your needs you can create your own. Finished maps can be downloaded as a PDF’ or as PNG for use in other apps.
