  • Very Quick to Use and quick access to features

    I have used this app and another almost equally as much, and found this one to be slightly better. It is responsive, and I can keep up with quick paced meetings. The design options are fine, albeit limited, but manual layout is a charm.

    There is one oddity. You can adorn your topics with stickers. Other mind maps do this as well, but the collection of stickers for this app is, well, TERRIBLE. They are ugly (childish) and most of them have NOTHING to do with business. Carrot, apple? No printer, nothing for teams or collaboration and NO QUESTION MARK or other punctuation. It seems odd that such a good program in other areas in so awful in this one. That is why it only gets four stars instead of five.

    Thank you for sharing your opinion with us. We're always happy to hear feedback on our stickers. Did you know there's a search bar for them now? Maybe you'd be surprised how much business related stickers there are. Even a printer. Also would you like to share in more detail what stickers your missing? For now symbols and emojis might be good workaround for you.
  • Great app

    Love the app. Have been using it since version 4 and I recently upgraded to 6.
    Great app and love the new features.
    However in future updates please add support for one hand gestures for zooming in and out. A good solution would be the tap and slide gesture that both Apple maps and google maps use. Having to pinch to zoom in and out is sometimes inconvenient on the iPhone. Keep up the great work. Thanks!

  • Indispensable app for planning and visualizing

    I picked up the mind mapping practice from a productivity podcast (AE) I listen to. I ended up trying out a few of the mind mapping apps on the store and settled on MindNode because it’s available on all of my devices, it’s available natively, and it’s darn beautiful.

    I originally used MN to map out and prioritize goals for a “12-week year” sprint I was doing (also a recommendation from the podcast). I’m a visual thinker and learner (like most people), so it was instrumental in helping me to decide which of my goals would have the most impact. They make it so easy to move things around and enter new thoughts. The tool just gets out of my way and lets my mind run free.

    I’ve since expanded my use of MN to include doing book summaries to make sure I remember and implement what I read, longer term planning by putting a parent node for each quarter of the year, trip planning, and just about anything where I just want to brainstorm and see what ideas come up. Using MindNode alongside my BestSelf journal, Omnifocus, and a wall calendar, and I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.

    Great job, MindNode, great job! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

  • Great app for mapping out your ideas

    For mapping out my ideas, this is a very good app. I got the full package and all of the features are very useful. The latest update extends the support for external displays, with a freeze option and resolution settings, which I use all the time. The keyboard commands are great, and drag and drop is invaluable. Combining the app with Procreate for drawing my explanations for my thoughts. By the way, I wish you could sketch your ideas directly into the app, but no worries anyway

  • Perfect for what I need

    Absolutely love MindNode. I’ve been fascinated with mind mapping for a while and to have the ability to do it on my phone, in a design that’s perfect to adapt to suit you exactly as you’d like, is awesome. I use a MindNode mapping page for my incomings and outgoings each month and just adapt the structure to suit. I change the colours to what I need, the ‘bubble’ style, the sizes... it just works exactly how I like it!

  • Not compatible

    I absolutely love this app, but it would be great if it was compatible with Windows 10 also for those that don’t have a Mac computer!! It would be much easier to work with on the large screen than on a phone.

    I get your point and understand why you would want MindNode for Windows. We are a small firm with limited resources and unfortunately we don't have the capacities at the moment to develop MindNode for an additional operating system. We are however thinking about a web-based version of MindNode. Maybe that might be of use to you. I just can't make any promises on when this will see the light of day.
  • Excellent product with one small request for tweaking

    First off, this is excellent. Does exactly what I want it to. Though I did extensive research before buying it on both iOS and MacOS. The syncing works perfectly across all my devices. It’s especially useful on my iPad Pro and my MacBook as well as the Apple Watch. So thank you for such a well-rounded package, that provides exactly the way it says it will with excellent, buttery-smooth UI.

    Now, I’d love to request one feature that isn’t currently on here. It’s the ability to merge sibling nodes to create a child node. And what would be even cooler is to create child nodes from nodes that have different parent nodes (different branches). If you could do this, I’ll immediately change my 4 stars to 5.

    Thanks guys and keep up the good work 🤙🏿

  • Upgrade doesn’t work

    Upgrading from version 4.5 doesn’t seem to work. Restoring the trial only. I’m not paying twice for an app

    Please make sure you have MindNode 4 (4.5.8) installed before going through the one time In-App Purchase of MindNode 5 for iOS. It then will automatically present you with the right discounted price available for you.
  • The best

    I seriously love this app and use it for all kinds of things from brainstorming, creating website site maps, to planning and writing presentations. The many export options, the fact that it works in Mac and iOS seamlessly and the great user interface with awesome themes all combine for a great experience. Highly recommended and worth every cent.
