I love the app even more each time I use it
I just purchased this app 24 hours ago and my beginning user experience has been fantastic so far. At best, I’m a basic, 45 yo tech user and I’m finding the app very intuitive and easy to get going. The potential value for me is very exciting.
I find the cloud saving functionality brilliant so I don’t have yet another library of resources and files to manage outside of my primary ‘second brain’. I’m in the Microsoft ecosystem and the ease in which I can add the maps to my OneNote library is awesome.
A must have feature for my use case was ease of use on my iOS devices and on my PC laptop. I’m using SimpleMind to collect and gather my non-linear method of planning video outlines and scripting for content creation. So far, I’m thrilled by how streamlined this app is proving to be. 😁Show lessVegas A
Perfect- but please read ⚠️
Honestly this is an amazing app, it’s fast, easy to learn, and very intuitive. Best of all, it’s free functionality allows for a lot of flexibility despite not being pro. However, do have one major concern that makes or breaks this app for any user. There is no prompt when you delete something. So if you spend hours on a mind map, and you swipe to rename it, but you accidentally press delete; your mind map will disappear in seconds. Adding a prompt that ensure the user wants to delete a map or a trash bin seem like the most efficient solutions.‼️‼️ Lastly, maybe this is to prevent bugs or something, but you have to be zoomed in to move your mind map nodes around and to use any of your tool bar instead of being able to move them freely and use any tool from any focal point.Show lessYTKrypticK
Thought it wasn’t for me
Then I tried some of the templates, and they really help to show what this program can do, which is a lot of great and useful stuff. I’m someone who requires a LOT of organization in my life, and to have a flexible yet structured means to plan my weeks, months, brainstorming sessions, etc., and to have it all on one screen is immensely helpful. My one minor gripe is that the bigger mind maps tend to become very…expansive? As in, the branches tend to become very long and spread out, and often with no text input, which takes a clean interface and turns it into a (seemingly) unclean one. Don’t know if this is unavoidable, but all in all, it’s a lovely app for a very fair one-time cost and I’m happy with my purchase. :)Show lessMicrofoo77
