*2026-07-25*

Não só minha vida pessoal, como profissional e meus estudos e cursos. Me ajuda muito em esvaziar minha mente, meus conhecimentos por completo alcançando a excelência em tuuudo. Sempre digo que graças ao MindMeister eu esvazio minha CPU(cérebro) dando mais espaço para novos conhecimentos 😅 pq funciona assim… como sei que descarreguei todos conhecimentos nessa plataforma meu cérebro por si só deixa de pensar em algo que já sei e quando necessário é só acessá-lo e rever tudo nos mínimos detalhes, dando espaço para eu pensar em outras coisas sem me preocupar em esquecer oque já aprendi kkkk sei que a ideia está um pouco confusa mas é isso 😁 amo muito o aplicativo é incluo todos que estão ao meu redor e envolvidos de alguma maneira em meus projetos 😉👌🏽🤩

### 1/5 — Buggy unreliable frustrating pile of ****

*2026-06-21, version 10.1.3*

This tool used to be brilliant. And then they went on a “improvement” adventure, which just messed it up. The worst of it, it's unreliable.
I've had experiences of information being lost and frustation of using the cross platform access to my mindmaps on the iPhone.… having that experience right now :(. When I did point out data being lost, I just got a muted apology and felt like it was an “O well”. I paid for a service and didn't get the basic  service I was expecting. Sad really, as I was a big fan. Stability and simple use cases should be the most important thing… instead it felt like the Product Owner and development team went off on one... I.e. trying to make it “better” (mostly Ui/UX). Sadly they didn't achieve the ultimate outcome… a frictionless tool that you can rely on. So… I don't rely on it anymore... I went to other tools.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t run and hang.

*2026-06-20, version 10.1.3*

Doesn’t show my saved maps even when working.

### 5/5 — Zero hunger

*2026-06-19, version 10.1.3*

This app is so rizz and skibidi bro I love it
