Still the best
I've been using mind note since the beginning. It has been great over the years, and still is one of the best of its kind.slyfoxit

Thank you so much!! Best regards, JessicaBottom up & Top down
This app helps me take advantage of my natural bottom-up thinking and quickly and easily switch to a top-down view for brainstorming or whenever I encounter a snag on my grasp of a projects scope or prioritization process.
I use the outline view for everyday scheduling and the mind map view for brainstorming projects. This app compliments my AuDHD brain wonderfully!Show lessPreserving Earth

Thank you!! Best regards, VanessaMindnode is for people that don’t have wall space
I don’t live in a place with wall space OR a board big enough for one, so this app is perfect especially with UI & big improvements over the years.UnlessDissappointed

Couldn't have said it better! Thank you!! Best regards, VanessaFine
At first glance seems pretty swell, personally I need more visual appeal to use it. If you like simple you might be good with this app but editing the style is paid so not gonna work for me..Ifdkfuchjio

Thank you for sharing your opinion. Best regards, VanessaGame changer. Used for many years, and recommend to everyone
I recently upgraded to the subscription model. Its superb for mind mapping, so easy to use on phone and mac. I can use it on the go! Would love to use it for other things like timelines or flow charts. Hope they expand to include different formats.Gardenfence

Thank you so much! I've added your wish for timelines and flow charts to our list of suggested features and will bring it up with the team. I can't promise that this will make it into the product in the near future. However, we review everything users send to us carefully. Best regards, VanessaEasy to use, highly functional, simple, clean and anti-distraction
I love how I can get started easily on a sketching ideas and plans. There is room to make things detailed and highly customizable; but the app is designed so well that I don’t feel distracted by those features when I’m creating. They really are designed to not get in the way.
Usually with mindmapping software, I start excited but then get overwhelmed or distracted with all the bells and whistles. The bells and whistles are here in MindNode, but the flow is so great that for the first time I was able to just start sketching ideas out. After about 10 minutes, I had the 13 different initiatives I’m involved in at work mapped out.
A) The relief to my brain was great. B) Off loading that weight and visually seeing it mapped out did something in the way I see work that has helped me be more effective. Paying the yearly amount for the expanded features was a no brainer, and I’m excited to support this software’s development.
P.S. A couple of my favorite features that I don’t see anywhere else are (1) The ability to easily have multiple master nodes in the same canvas. This helps me feel like I don’t have to have the grand plan set out before I start. It removes barriers to starting and provides a high amount of flexibility in moving things around as the ideas are refined. (2) The ability to have the flow of the nodes go left to right (and not radial like most mind maps). This just works better for my brain.Show lessdevotional time

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed review! It's so nice everytime we hear about MindNode doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Best regards, VanessaSuper slick and streamlined
Out of all the mind mapping tools I’ve used over the years, this is the most fluid and enjoyable to use. I especially enjoyed the intuitive and simple tap, drag and drop controls and the super neat little animations as the previous nodes move over to make room.
The only nit I have to pick is that it took me a little while to memorise what the main tools in the toolbar were by just looking at the icon.
I get this as part of SetApp, unsure if I’d like to otherwise pay for a subscription for this type of app (since I don’t use it all that regularly)Show lessP Bjorkman

Thank you! Best regards, VanessaMind Node Power User - iPad UX
I've been using mind node on the Mac for many years, as an entrepreneur and product designer, it's how I organize my brain. When I got mind node for the iPad Pro, I was disappointed. As a UX designer myself, I have some well-formed suggestions I hope the developers will consider: The app is fine with a keyboard, but the potential is for the app to work better with the pencil, so mind noding feels like hand drawing a mind map, with the app beautifully formatting the hand entry as the user progresses. Here's how 1) Pencil mode. When the user is entering data with a pencil, the app should recognize this and: A. Not have the keyboard pop up when text is being entered by scribble. B. Use the pencil for drawing, NOT scrolling. Fingers can be used to move around and zoom... pencil is a drawing/writing/manipulating tool only! 2) drawing an oval in an open area should create a new main node 3) drawing a line from an existing node should create a child node 4) scratching out a node should delete it Those are the biggies. It's close! Devs: spend some time using your app with the pencil, imagine you are drawing these mind nodes... I should never need my keyboard, and basic actions like adding and removing nodes should be lightning fast and natural, like I'm drawing the diagram and the app is nicely formatting it as I go. In any case, thanks for making my favorite app...keep going!Show lessthinayr

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us! I'll make sure to discuss it with the team. Best regards, VanessaFantastic!
This app is fantastic! It feels like an app Apple would have written and it keeps up with new OS features. It’s an app I cannot recommend enough to get your life, projects and ideas mapped and organised.
I love that there is no account to create and sign into. Just open and drop down your ideas. Syncing and other features works out of the box!
The only thing that is missing for 5 stars IMO is collaboration support that came out in iOS 16 to truly make it a power user Apple app.Show lessJad6os
