### 3/5 — Only Dropbox support

*2025-09-23*

Can't use local files at all if you are not starting from scratch

### 4/5 — Great app for quick mind map edits

*2015-04-21*

I was looking for a way to update my Freemind mind maps (housed in DropBox) quickly on my iPhone.  Tried a few others and settled on MinDgo. It's simple to use, easy to sync, and does exactly what I need. 

It could probably be a little more seamless on the sync, but it's not bad as it stands today -- only a couple taps to make it happen. 

Great app. I recommend it.

### 4/5 — Simple and brilliant

*2014-07-26*

Brilliant app for reading and making small changes to freemind maps. Does what it says it does with a perfectly practical interface for a phone screen (I've tried others, even paid ones).
Dropbox interface is straightforward and reliable. Thanks for an app that solves a problem!

### 4/5 — Great !

*2013-05-08*

Good job. Just add the possibility to export back in .mm file and it will be perfect. Thanks !!

### 4/5 — Perfect companion to manage FreeMind .mm lists

*2013-05-07*

I use FreeMind to manage daily to-do lists in my job and find this app really useful to manage those lists on the fly, and whilst in meetings. My FreeMind file is stored on DropBox and MindGo 2 can read the file from there.
