*Inspiration* is a visual mapping and diagramming program that will help you
escalate your ideas to solid action plans. *What is Inspiration?* Graphic
diagram editors are often quite complicated to use, mainly because they
include so many tools and customizing options that you can't help feeling
lost. Luckily enough, Inspiration goes beyond these first difficult steps and
offers users an easy-to-use, yet very complete diagram tool. Inspiration is
an app that can be used by a wide variety of people. We can see it being of
use to students, who might make diagrams as a study aid, professionals, who
might use it to plan out new structures or business plans, and even everyday
people who simply want to transfer an idea to a solid plan in a more ordered,
practical way. *How does it work?* Using Inspiration is very easy. Start with
your main concept and drill down from there. The great thing about this app
is that you can add images, music, text and more to really make the diagrams
complete, and, of course, they are completely modifiable, in case you find
that your plans change, or work better in a different order. The Inspiration
interface is very easy to use, and a few moments playing around with it
should let you get the gist very quickly. Even so, Inspiration offers a huge
variety of templates, help documents and even videos designed to let you get
the most out of it, while the floating *Symbols* bar makes the job even
faster. The only downsides to Inspiration is that, despite support for
simultaneous documents, there's no handy way to move between them. Maybe a
tab bar would fix this. Secondly, it's not the slickest application on the
block - even on Windows 7, Inspiration looks like something from the last
decade. While that has little impact on functionality, it will put some users
off. *Inspiration is a highly usable and handy idea-mapping application that
everyone can use. It's just a pity it's not a little more modern.*Download
