Considerations: I think Booms Taxonomy fits the best with this app because it allows students to build off their prior knowledge. When they are able to create a map, they are showing their understanding and analyzing of the subject. I think since this app has a way to create the maps yourself or ones that are already set, it will be able to reach all learners. I also liked that it was broken up into different subjects.

Logistics: It was pretty self explanatory how to use, however there were so many options that I think it may be difficult for younger students. I liked that there were i-cons of animals and such so that if students cannot write yet, they could sort the map that way. The lite version (free) kept giving me a little difficulty, but it was still a cool app to explore. 

Fluency: I think once the students got used to the app, it would be very easy to use. I especially think the activities that are already set up are a great way for students to practice. They can choose a subject and pick from any activity under that. Since I had the free version, the "upgrade now" kept popping up, but I think the paid version would be great.
