The challenge

The client wanted to build a fast, lightweight, easy-to-use iOS application for creating mind maps.

The main challenge was that the client applied to Rocketech with some snippets of working code already developed by a 3-rd party team and a cut-off budget.

The Rocketech team should develop a standalone, fully functional mind-mapping component and fit it into the existing application architecture made up of code that was already developed and provided by a client.

Additionally, the team should complete this project on a short budget and time that remained after challenges the previous development team could not handle.

The solution

The Rocketech team built a fully functional, lightweight, and easy-to-use editor to create, edit and store graphic mind maps right on users' devices.
Professional mind map editor
Users can easily split any image into equal parts and create stunning content for posting it on social media, blogs, or simply sharing with friends and having fun. Users with a free version can split up to 3 images.
Multi-touch technology for easy editing
The fully-featured mind map editor supports multi-touch technology for drag-and-drop, zoom, and pan gestures, which makes adding the nodes, texts, connections, and other elements quick and easy.
Support of different content types
Along with text, it is possible to add images and photos to the mind map by importing those from the local photo gallery.
Ability to customize colors
Users can also change the color of the mind map graphic elements and fonts.
