Visualize your goals and make the right decisions
This app will help you make decisions. Whether at home or at work, whether for yourself or a team: The
visual models in this app help you speedily analyze even the most complex situations and not lose sight of
the big picture.
Here’s how it works
Create your own models
The Decision App is a digital wall chart, a flipchart 2.0. The perfect tool for presentations, analyses and
brainstorming sessions: it’s quick and easy to draw your own models (for example an x/y matrix) and you
can use the intuitive freehand drawing function to highlight important items, to point towards key factors with arrows, or to plot curves.
Strategic models as templates
The Decision App contains nine of the best-known and most successful decision-making models from
management theory. These models can be used right away as templates to brainstorm, to ponder, to
consider or to weigh options for the required decision. For example, the Eisenhower Matrix is useful for
efficient time management, the BCG Model can be used for classic portfolio management, the SWOT
Analysis is wellknown for positioning decisions, the Blue Ocean Strategy helps to chart new opportunities.
These and other models each are included with an explanatory text and a ready to use template to
fill in according to the decision to be made.
Export and share
Email your models as a PDF to ask for feedback, add them as pictures to documents for a presentation or
send them as an editable document to other Decision App users to collaborate on a joint project.
iPad/iPhone
This App was developed for iPad and iPhone. The size of the iPad and iPad mini makes them ideal for creating models. The iPhone version of the Decision App offers the same functions and is perfect for reviewing and sharing your models on the move.
Latest reviews of The Decision App – Models for Strategic Thinking app for iPhone and iPad
Ive spent a long time to create my project portfolio and sales pipeline and it just disappeared in the next time I opened the app. Nobody deserves!!! Marco Fidos
This app has no stars. This app has no functionality. There is no way to present data quantitatively; you cant modify the size of the markers; etc. I should have suspected when I saw the examples. I mean who needs a $4.99 app to help you decide which clothes to wear? Sheer banality. And yet there is a need for a tool like this to do some sophisticated visualization of decision analysis etc. So now I am back to doing this manually. I got royally rooked. Dont follow my example. I want my money back!
Retrieving a previous saved Eisenhower (or other templates) matrix has a bug because the matrix appear empty after opening it. Please make an update. Regarding the app I suggest to use money for a Pizza!!! Really poor app... I think this is a technical exercise of the developer and you will pay for this!!!
If you are looking for an app to reach fast and easy to A-level models, this is your app. - Quick design, easy editing, lot of possible outcomes. - As a new app, may need some time in market for updates that may help. Did not find bugs in my first day. Hope not to in the future. - Would like to integrate with a mac app. - Need some better and new tools on layout and design. Highly recommended.
I bought this because of the touted Blue Ocean Strategy feature, but it does not offer a functional BOS Strategy Canvas. Pretty much worthless for my work in innovation without this, so I am a bit disappointed with the purchase. However, if you dont care about BOS then this app should have a couple solid models that you can play around with. For the author, you should be able to connect the dots like a sine wave on a strategy canvas and compare your blue ocean trend to your red ocean trend. The best ideas often have an inverse relationship in features.
