EXPORT / SHARE

You can export or share a .zip file that will include all your ideas (or a single idea) and picture and audio files.
As an alternative you can simply export a text file.

IMPORT

You can also import these ideas. This enables you to share a single idea with someone, or for instance move all your ideas to a new device.

Since you can create question sets the other device might not have, answers to those questions will become notes.

In this blog post I explain importing screen by screen:

ONLINE SYNC ?

At the moment there is no a real time sync feature or web based interface. The main reason is that I only want to enable this feature if I'm sure I can do it right. It has to be robust and safe. I have not yet had the time to fully learn these skills, so for now the next best thing is the export & import feature.

PASSWORD PLEASE ?

The app does not come with password protection. If you want to lock you app for others who have access to your device you can try out app locker apps: http://beebom.com/2015/04/best-app-lockers-for-android

Perfect apps to record idea. The only thing that is lack is a synchronization features. I have lost my ideas i note down for 2 years until my phone broke. Please provide a sync features with google account or anything. An automated sync would be best. Im willing to pay for it.

(edited 1/10/17) I still can't import notes to my other device (exporting works just fine), but I'm pretty sure that's because I have literally hundreds of notes... It'd be cool to be able to select multiple notes, so several of them could be deleted or moved to a different idea at the same time! Overall this is a really wonderful and useful app!

® I already thought in this similarly idea and I searched about it. Then, found your app. It just needs improvement : )

Hum my idea grower has disappeared it did not transfer to my new phone I received a blank idea grower I have the same phone type moto E I up graded I bought my new phone it's waiting for my work to show up. My app asked me if I'm ready to sell no I was busy developing all my ideas. please return to me my works some I have written on paper in a booklet in my possession. All of it should be there.

by R####:

Please fix the "Lorem Ipsum..." whenever I leave the idea description empty. Other than that it's an amazing app!

L70%
by L####:

I've had this app for so long and it's very useful for me. Most ideas just don't wait until you're sitting down with a pen & paper! This app also provides an organized way of expanding your ideas. I love this app, thank you for creating it.

R70%
by R####:

The default sets won't change and custom sets don't show up in new ideas. Otherwise, the app covers the basics. I hope you can fix this issue.

I've had this app for a long time and used it lightly.. wasn't happy to find things didn't automatically save after writing something on an idea and backing out. You would think it'd at least ask if you wanted to save, if it didn't do it automatically. But whatever, I learned my lesson and worked with it.. But when I started to try using it more heavily with my ideas, I've come across a problem that makes me uneasy/untrusting to use it. It started duplicating my answers from one question to other answers of different. At first, I thought it was a minor blip that will only happen once, I didn't have any answers written in everything it duplicated on, so I ignored it.. but it did it again, this time erasing a looooong answer I wrote and replacing it with an answer of a different question. All I did was switch to another app to check on (without closing idea growr), before switching back to idea growr to continue writing when it did this. Very unhappy. I will not use this for any serious work and writing again.

It will be nice if we can change themes, not anything strange just the color of the background.

Because I have an ADHD brain teeming with ideas constantly & simultaneously, which def could be speeded up by using this to keep my notes in one place on my device. And because dev's entries in the thumbnails we're just literally too cute & fun to resist! Will buy pro if there is one. Thanks! // Dev, I will reply to your questions via email soon. Thanks!

R70%
by R####:

Best idea tracking app I have found so far. It allows me to super quickly save an idea, and by customizing the questions helps me to take the first steps in flushing out significant details and if it may be worth pursuing or not. I love that I can save/export to google drive and that saved files is somewhat view-able as webpage one saved. Features I would like: A windows version. The app is very good to make sure you don't forget an idea you have on the fly. But developing an idea further is much better on a real computer. Currently I have to export the file to different tools. Once this is done Android version becomes out of date. Hints to users: If it is business ideas, your questions can be designed to export directly to a SWOT chart or business model canvas

N70%
by N####:

The app has very poor methods of taking an idea and letting you build on it. The default questions that provide a series of types of interesting ways to solve a problem are definable via settings. But she. You have a robust idea the software gives you defaults that CAN'T be edited unless you exit out to main first screen. The type of idea by the questions doesnt matter. But they want you to maintain some kinda type even if the flow makes no sense and is the same for each. You can't add types of questions you have while taking an idea and expanding it with more brain storming. It makes processing an idea kinda tedious (edited for developer to understand the issues I have)

Having struggles with organising my ideas previously, I really like this app as it allows you not only to keep track of your ideas, but also to make the brainstorming easier with questions within the app. It really helps me a lot in developing my short stories! I wish for the freedom to format the text as well as to remove the default questions so I can jot down my ideas in an even more clutterless, tidy manner. EDIT 2: Thanks so much developer for new updates! Just exactly what I wanted!

by R####:

Just finished writing in my own questions and they just disappeared! Can't access them... I spent a lot of time coming up with questions and the app just deleted them.

P70%
by P####:

Easy to use, and thoughtfully designed. Developer has a set of carefully framed questions, some at encouraging you to realize an idea. It assumes that the ideas pertain to the business of apps, but it's open enough for tweaking the questions to your needs.

Keeps crashing when trying to add an existing picture. Will not exit out of App

I70%
by I####:

Nice design and UI. Needs a log-in or account back up option. I got some ideas started. Deleted the app, decided to try it again, but lost what I had started the first time around. So, not reliable (yet) against a lost or damaged phone.

W70%
by W####:

I have ADHD, so it is no problem generating a lot of "great" ideas! However, how much time would I save if I used this app to weed out the productive ideas from the ones which, while good, may not be feasible given my skills, talents, time available, and personality. I've only used it a few minutes, but it's so well designed and the questions are so well formulated, that I had to give this initial review right away. I will come back as I use the app more, to make any revisions to this review.

D70%
by D####:

Good for taking temporary notes, but needs enhancement such as upload notes on cloud account for easy access and backup. After recent upgrade, the new line formatting goes away once a note is saved (I.e. in read-mode of note). It used to work earlier.

I'm currently doing my Master degree and find the apps useful for writing my ideas on my current and possible future researches. Sure, you can maybe use Keep/Evernote, but having an exclusive app for the task is much better, imho. Although, at the end of the day, pen and paper probably still the best option, but nothing beat this while you are on the go/commuting.

Excellent app Really useful when an idea strikes The question sets actually help you to build your idea Can't say enough good things about it 5 stars

Z70%
by Z####:

I love this app. It's gives me a place to write down my ideas. It also gives me a set of default questions or questions that I write out that are relevant to the idea to me get my idea from idea stage to taken action.

D70%
by D####:

It's clear the developer really put some thought into the questions and other related content within the application, going beyond other apps of this type by not just creating an idea platform but actually including very helpful substance within it. Helped me get out of a rut with many of my ideas that were "stuck" a bit ,and gave them the kick-start they needed to move forward productively.

D70%

Awesome for quickly jotting down ideas! Love the questions to concretely plan for future development. 4/5 because the import picture didn't work. It became a greyed placeholder image after selecting a image.

Everything seems superb now. Thank you for answering us consumers. Have a good time and a nice day

D70%
by D####:

I absolutely love this app so freaking much! It's extremely helpful for organizing my thoughts and is now an irreplaceable part of my daily life! One issue I found though, is that if I turn my phone sideways while typing answers to questions, all of the info in that set gets erased. I then have to exit the set without saving (in order to undo the erase) and retype everything. Besides that one thing, it's perfect!

D70%
by D####:

I was considering creating something like this for myself because I always find it useful to write my ideas on paper, and slowly progress them into something tangible. When I came across this app, I was ecstatic. I, however, wish it allowed me to create new question sets without going directly to settings. This goes for other features of the app as well.

Z70%
by Z####:

Very awesome app. I had an easy notetaker, but this is better on one ground: you can add more ideas to a bigger idea rather than just split the idea everywhere. It makes ideas more concise. Very nice. Awesome UI/UX

D70%
by D####:

Very useful. I need more time to explore, but deserves 5* from current experience. Intuitive. Lots of interesting options to keep the track and improve ideas over the time, whenever you can come back to them... Good job, Julius.
