  • Lost everything

    Really like the way you add and arrange the nodes, but had my mind map accidentally deleted and there is no way to recover it.

    UI feedback: If swiping left on a map reveals “More” and “Delete”, the app shouldn’t delete your information until you click on “delete”. I wanted to select “more”, but the app made the choice for me and I lost days of brainstorming.

    I’d have probably purchased the pro version of this app had this not happened.

  • This app is terrible

    Where do I start? If you get the desktop trial version and forget to save your maps as PDF's during the trial period, those maps will be gone unless you pay the company approx. $28 for the full version to get them back. That bait in a nutshell speaks volumes about the lack of integrity of this company. Secondly, simple operations as synching your maps throughout your platforms, which many other apps as Wunderlist offer for free!, do not exist here. Their tutorials -the ones in video as well as the ones in writing- are incredibly confusing (they desperate need to hire somebody good at communicating).
    Operations as saving your maps in your drive can't be performed and you'll find yourself unable to open your maps afterwards.
    During the process of mapping in the pro version, I noticed that the programmers are trying to add too many variables in a very erratic and chaotic way, instead of using their energy in making the program more user friendly.
    In other words, this app is a huge headache. Please do yourself a favor and do not waste your money here!
    By the way, this may be the first bad review I've ever written. They really drove me through the
    wall. lol

  • Easy to use, fun, and visually appealing

    It's the first mobile mindmap I've used where my thoughts can materialised lightning fast and the visual tools like colored boarder regions helps distinguish the many nodes into groupings. The word wrap tool is also amazing as it helps me shape large chunks of texts into nodes that fit into spaces near sister nodes. It's easy to use, fun, and visually appealing. I was using mind meister but SimpleMind is light years beyond with it's user friendliness so much that I had stopped using mind maps for years until I discovered SimpleMind.

  • Best iOS mind mapping

    I have tested over a dozen iOS mind mapping tools and this is the best of breed.
    Like all such apps it has its quirks (text and graphic formatting are awkward). Like all it needs more important and export options. However it remains a tool I use daily and often in preference to more robust tools on my workstation (XMind--interchange between the two requires little cosmetic clean up).

  • Incredible

    I'm currently a PhD student and this is THE BEST app for my academic purposes. I never write reviews but this app deserves every accolade I give it.

    I use this app for hours and hours every day. It is extremely user friendly and customizable. I have the desktop version as well and the across-device compatibility is stunning. I've never had a moment of wishing for alternative operation.

    These developers knew what they were doing and I look forward to many more years using this program.

  • Almost perfect

    This is the best app I have found for creating complex mind maps over several documents. Easy to use. Awesome.

    My only complaint is going between platforms. I do a lot of work on my iPad Pro. I bought the desktop version on my Mac thinking it would be seamless. I eventually solved the riddle of sharing. It required using my google account and putting my maps there. I don’t know why so many apps really screw up the simple task of saving documents. For years it was just go to file>save. Instead they are adopting the dummification of managing this for you as though it was some complicated task!

    I don’t get it. But whatever. It’s a great app regardless.

  • HELPS YOU GET HELP

    When I was in college, I was unorganized. My teachers were disappointed in me because of this. They thought it was because of my usage with my IPAD. I then changed to Microsoft but that didn't help. But with my IPad I downloaded this app. It helped me getextremely organized. Now I am a business man, and I all owe it to simple minds!

  • Very good - but IPad issues

    I love a lot about this mind mapping tool. I bought both the upgrade to Pro for IPad and the Windows desktop version. Working on both platforms using the cloud to sync the files made sense for me, but I'm finding that creating image and document links in the Ipad version is inserting a different directory link structure in the map than when I do the same thing in the desktop version. The result is that I can't access the links on both platforms. If I add it with the desktop, I can access the link through the desktop; if I add it by Ipad I can access it by Ipad, but not both. This seems like a simple issue that could be fixed and I hope that's true because I enjoy this product and don't want to get bogged down by these kinds of issues. Paid versions here...
