Elemental Tools launches next generation innovation management app Ideabook Pro for iPhone and iPad

Eggersdorf/Graz, Austria - Elemental Tools today released the next generation of its idea management app, Ideabook Pro. Built on the latest Apple technologies, the new app supports quick capturing of ideas, visual brainstorming in "spaces" and rating and analyzing ideas using an easily configurable bubble chart.

"We have been asked over and over again to come up with a new Ideabook app and we are extremely happy that we can finally deliver on this promise," said Gerald Aquila, co-founder and CEO of Elemental Tools. "We worked hard to balance simplicity and ease of use with a ton of feature requests and we are really eager to see how people will use our new app."

Ideabook Pro provides a single sortable, tabular overview of ideas to keep track of recent ideas as well as top rated ones. The "Spaces" view allows to visually organize ideas as cards complete with drag & drop support for rearranging cards. Idea cards can also be created in-place by double tapping on empty space; the same gesture can also be used for inline-editing idea titles. The "Bubbles" view provides a widely improved, configurable bubble chart visualization of your ideas in four dimensions (x, y, bubble size and color). All three views allow easy filtering by idea portfolios.

By supporting Apple's latest technologies, the new app provides a share sheet for quickly capturing ideas from other apps, CSV import and export functionality, share as image/PDF functions for idea spaces and bubble charts, Spotlight search, support for Dark Mode and iCloud syncing. Ideabook Pro is also much more configurable than its predecessors offering up to 10 rating dimensions and different idea space backgrounds.

Ideabook Pro is available today from the App Store for $8.99 (USD). Since the app is built on the latest technology in order to provide us with a solid foundation for the years to come, Ideabook Pro requires iOS 13 on iPhone and iPadOS 13 on iPad. Data migration from the Ideabook 3 legacy apps is available via CSV export and import.
