MagicalPad® has unveiled a new version of  MagicalPadVisualTaskManager-side, the most significant update since the UI update. MagicalPad combines mind maps, outlines, notes, tasks & to-dos, checklists and more in a free-form fluid layout – all on the same app on the same page.

This update brings three major innovations to the app; while not novel by themselves, they are implemented in a unique interwoven way that make them powerful together. Today’s release further delivers on MagicalPad’s promise of having one productivity app for organizing thoughts, notes, ideas and tasks in a visually appealing free-form layout. It can be used for school, personal and business needs.

MagicalPad now combines four major productivity apps in one, which makes it a unique productivity app:

Advanced Mind Mapping 
MagicalPad’s advanced mind mapping tools allow more freedom in brainstorming and note taking. Users can have unlimited mind-maps and outlines on the same page and convert freely from mindmap to outline and vice versa.

Powerful Outlining 
Magical Pad for iPad displayPowerful outlining capabilities allow users to structure ideas and move them around the page. With the drag/drop capabilities, users can merge and split outlines, lists and mindmap branches to prioritize and vote for the best idea in a brainstorming setting for example.

Visual Task Management 
Visual task manager is a powerful task management engine that sits within outlines and mind maps enabling users to visually manage tasks like a dashboard. Any item can have icons, tags, set dates, priority and attachments.

Dedicated Task-View 
Just like traditional task management apps, users can also track the same tasks in a very focused fashion. Contexts include dates, tags, notebooks, pages and more. At any time users can switch between page view and task view.

The real magic comes from having them all connected in front of you on the same app on the same page,” said Bouchra Ben, Product Manager with MagicalPad.

This release also brings a load of attachment types to tasks and items including PDF, Microsoft Office, and Apple iWork document types. “Video and audio are in the plan,” said Bouchra.
