As a customer of MindNode 5/6 you get MindNode 7 as a free upgrade without having to subscribe. Otherwise you can always use the Free Editor. Regards, VanessaSimultaneous Sync and Apple Pencil Support Needed
Keep up the good work.
Suggestions:
(1) Simultaneous Sync / Multiple Device Access
It would be awesome if you could open a file on different devices simultaneously and edit. For example, you can open the same document with the new Office products using different devices. (e.g., OneNote can be opened and edited on iPad, iphone and desktop all at the same time).
(2) Apple Pencil / Handwritten Nodes
The app needs support for Apple Pencil (or stylus) input for the iPad. It would be so nice to be able to draw, drag and modify MindNode using the Apple Pencil.
As of now, the process to create and manipulate notes is too slow. It doesn’t allow the free flow of ideas and thoughts (as it should be for a mind note process).
I wish there was a way to make connections between nodes (e.g., Microsoft Visio) and then be able to drag, edit and move around the sheet. A similar solution would be something like an unlimited canvas with GoodNotes where you an jot an idea down, and then move it but the important feature of ‘mind mapping’ is the ability to keep the connected lines.Show lessjPhone6#
Files won’t open on iPhone
Update: issue was resolved after IOS update, but it seems to be a recurring issue from what I read from other people complaints online. It would be really nice to try to keep things working better between MindMap and IOS, because app is really great - I rely on it every day.
I love the app but recently (January 2020) files do not open on my iPhone, I also can not create new files. Everything works on IPad though. It also used to work on iphoneShow lessMurphenkos
The Mind Mapping tool against which all others are measured.
Ive been relying on MindNode for tracking and developing ideas in both my business and creative pursuits for several years now. I tested many of the competitors offerings and have always come back to MindNode as being the best, and the app that works for me.
The interface is intuitive and easy to use, while also having depth when needed.
The only thing on my wishlist is cross-platform compatibility with Windows so I can have more flexibility in designing collaborative workflows for mixed platform groups.
Always looking forward to new feature releases and updates from this team!Show lessOsiris19CC
Too many subscriptions
I have purchased this on iPhone and was going to get the Mac version upgrade, but now it is a subscription. To get it on the Mac I would have to subscribe yearly. Too many apps are asking for subscriptions now and it is not sustainable. I will not be using this any longer.Fleet117

I got a new phone and reinstalling apps from App Store so only v6 available there.
Big thumbs down on subscription service. 👎🏽 I understand it’s good for the company but as a consumer I’m sick of paying for subscriptions. I want to purchase and use the app until such a time that I feel the upgrade is worth any new value provided. I don’t want a forced payment plan. Subscription based MindNode gets 0 stars from me.

I purchased full version of this app in older version of iOS. Now I download new version and all I get is viewer mode? I have to purchase full version again to even get some basic editing. I supported the company in their early days and now they want me to fully purchase the app again? No upgrade path? Customers hate this type of abuse.Show lessMontegoStar

I used to subscribe and use mind node about3-4 years ago already (apparently under another email than my current one since I had to purchase again) However,
I am soooo much more in love with it! I’m on the spectrum and processing thoughts is difficult and time consuming for me. I write and use several writing apps /word documents but nothing is even close to this app! It’s one of a kind ...still. I use mind node template for everything and now there’s so much more it can do! It will take me weeks to learn it due to my learning curve. But it will be a daily for me. It helps me organize and prioritize my thoughts and ideas which is a difficulty for some on the spectrum. Thank you mind node- you are once again my go to app for brainstorming and capturing ideas - providing a space for me to see my thoughts and ideas more clearly. I will use this for my everyday life. It reminds me of the “nursing process” template that I used in nursing school 😅ty mind node!❤️Show lessKrotch341a

Oh wow! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Regards, VanessaA great program but Be careful if you use this with iCloud
I have been using this program since it was first introduced. Until now I have used it for every condition where I needed to relate unrelated things. As promised, I am rewriting my review since the app support people discovered that my problems are not caused by this app. I had begun using iCloud with all my MindNode documents. One document, in particular, I updated daily and frequently updated from different devices. My problem occurred because iCloud did not handle my more complex documents property. Worse than wrecking my document, iCloud is set up to delete any documents that iCloud does not control. So if I turn off iCloud from holding and updating my MindNode documents I cannot recover them to my local device (iPad or iPhone). There are tricks I could play to keep or recover a single document, but I have over 30 MindNode documents so that is impractical.
The MindNode support staff were extremely helpful and emailed me with questions until they narrowed the problem to iCloud. From there they had no suggestions except to not keep my documents in the cloud. I will continue to use MindNode if or when I can get my documents back, but I won’t create new documents or update existing ones until iCloud is out of the picture.
Solved my iCloud issue by emailing my MindNode documents to myself. Then turned iCloud off.Show lessMEB1938

Again, very sorry we couldn't be of more help! Hope you have lovely holidays! Regards, VanessaMindNode is an excellent communication tool
This software can be used for simple documents like lists. It can be used to identify tasks, precedence tasks, etc. with the simple touch of the screen the MindNode document in pictorial form can become a checklist. I was able to create a 25th anniversary meeting planning document with one hand while donating blood from my other hand. I appreciate that both the MacOS and iOS versions can share documents and natively output PDF.Show lessMikeJ-49
