Great design, Very decent user interface. Smooth navigation. What I like most is the visualization of tags, notes, and pop-up description on the nodes. This should be the standard of application if Microsoft wants more users to use modern app in Win8. Great work, developers.

After installing KnowledgeBase Builder, I was initially excited and spent a number of hours working on a chapter for my finance class; however, the next morning when I tried to access that file from my SkyDrive, the data was gone. Apparently I had not pressed the save button. One would think there might be an autosave feature that would have bailed me out of that mess. No warning appeared telling me that I might lose my data. And, so, the program is a bit unforgiving. Also, I lost data while I was building my map: each time I would add a new item, it would transfer my notes from the last item along with it. But, when I deleted the notes, it removed them from the previous item, as well. Some trial-and-error allowed me to figure some of it out, but it was really frustrating. I like the idea of this program and, so I recommend it because of its price as a nice way to get an intro to the genre of mind-mapping software.
