Text formatting - size, weight, alignment colour, etc - won’t stick and return to a default setting the moment a panel is exited. Shame, it could be so good. ### 3/5 — 아주 좋아요. *2026-07-15, version 2.9.2* 하지만, 아이패드에서 키보드 동작이 굉장히 불편합니다. 엔터키나 탭키를 이용해서 가지를 연장하는 등의 기초적인 조작이 안되요. 가지를 늘릴 때마다 불편함을 느낍니다. 다른 마인드맵에서는 매우 편하게 사용했었는데, 여기서는 전혀 안되니까 매우 불편하네요. ### 3/5 — Problema serio *2026-07-08, version 2.9.2* No aparece en la lista de Compartir (Share) para importar cosas a Simplemind Pro desde otra aplicación Un fallo muy grande que me obliga a devolverlo. Si vosotros lo incorporáis yo le doy 2 estrellas más It does not appear in the Share list to import things to Simplemind Pro from another application. A very big failure that forces me to return it. If you incorporate it, I'll give it 2 more stars ### 3/5 — App perfetta recentemente si blocca *2026-06-22, version 2.9.2* App funzionante e fantastica per svolgere e fare mappe concettuali , mentali e diagrammi. Il punto a sfavore è che di recente ha iniziato a bloccarsi i continuo, impedendomi di lavorare era allentato molto il processi, posso sapere il motivo? ### 5/5 — My favorite mind map app *2026-06-13, version 2.9.2* I love Simple Mind and use it for more than 7 years already. It is a professional grade mind map app that I use on a daily basis. It is great that app keeps improving. I would still like that few features be added in future updates: (1) Advanced hotkeys support for better workflow on a keyboard and external screen (copy and paste style, add label to topic etc.); (2) Gant diagram layout; (3) Equations & Formulas (assign number to daughter topic and calculate sum in a mother (central) topic, or calculate average, maximum, minimum, median etc.) (4) Group editing / collaborations support (maybe for subscription to further support developer?); (5) Integration with google calendar, google tasks, things & productivity apps. ### 5/5 — ¡Gracias por ser compra única! *2026-06-05, version 2.9.2* Cansado de que por cualquier cosa te pidan suscripciones, menos mal encontré esta app. No es perfecta, pero tiene todo lo necesario y estoy satisfecho. ### 5/5 — This is truly the best Mindmap app *2026-05-25, version 2.9.2* I map everything even summaries of meetings! I’ve switched to this app years ago - maybe 6 years or more. I used to use another product and company that was purchased by Corel or some other company and that product went to hell! They couldn’t even produce a mobile version! SimpleMind Pro does EVERYTHING I need and more and support - rarely needed - is quick and thorough. It works on my iPad and MacBook and it really simplifies everything! Love it. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2026-05-24, version 2.9.2* Works well. Polished, feature packed. Switched to this from Lucid. Was nice to see this app is still maintained. I recommend it. ### 5/5 — iOS 26で動作が壊れた（けど直った） *2026-04-10, version 2.9.0* 以下のレビューに書いた不具合はバージョン2.8.1以降で修正されたので、星5に変更します。しかし重大な不具合があったこと・それが修正されたことは更新履歴に一切記載されておらず、軽い不信感はあります。有償アプリなのでちゃんとしてほしいです。 --- 以下、不具合があった頃のレビュー --- 完璧なマインドマップアプリとして長らく愛用してきましたがiOS 26で動作が壊れました。使い物にならなくなったので至急修正をお願いしたいです。 致命的なのは ・ノードをタップ&ホールドで移動しようとすると画面移動のスワイプ操作と誤認される（左スワイプでマインドマップ一覧に戻る動作が起こる） ・ノードを追加した後、何もないところで指をスライドさせて画面をスクロールしようとすると、新規ノードの追加操作と誤認される（本来ならダブルタップで発生する動作） iPhone15 iOS26.1 ### 3/5 — La mejor relación funcionalidades/precio pero… *2026-04-05, version 2.9.0* Es una lástima que la modificación del ancho de temas destructivo de los saltos de línea manuales no sea opcional, que el administrador de archivos no sea el del sistema, no admita más de una ventana en ejecución simultánea, que no se optimice la interface reorganizando sus opciones para que resulten más accesibles, coherentes y productivas, sintetizándolas en categorías exhaustivas representadas en lo posible por iconos con una estética más adaptada al nuevo estilo visual del sistema, que los límites de agrupación no asuman las posibilidades de los resúmenes pudiendo asignarles un nombre y agregarles hijos y que la importación desde iThoughts* tenga margen de mejora pese a utilizarlo como reclamo; porque es uno de los editores de mapas más completos, con la opción de pago único más competitiva y la declaración de respeto a la privacidad más exigente, con una guía web de uso completa, aunque a falta de traducirlo al español. (*) La IMPORTACIÓN desde iThoughts, aunque ya es posible parcialmente, resulta decepcionante por limitarse a texto sin el formato Markdown original en temas/nodos y notas, alterando la jerarquía de nodos por carencia del elemento “resumen” (tema de agrupación o de jerarquía inversa) o no transformar las leyendas o globos en el elemento denominado atípicamente “etiquetas” (una cuestión también a reconsiderar hacia su sustitución por alguno de los convencionales indicados, dejando ésta para el elemento clasificatorio que también convendría redefinir respecto a implementaciones idiosincrásicas y quizás incluso intencionadas, como la posibilidad de añadir stickers, para suplir esa función) y omitiendo los grupos o límites de temas y la descripción de las conexiones o relaciones entre nodos, pese a ser recursos disponibles. Espero que no desaprovechen esa ventaja funcional general respecto a sus competidores porque MindSpace parece avanzar rápido y parte de una optimización de la interface apreciable con una contraprestación también razonable. ## Frequently asked questions about SimpleMind Pro ### What is SimpleMind Pro?
