Fantastic!

Really enjoy the way this app lets you map out ideas, as well as put together a fully functional layout.

Love simple mind but not extended search view

Is there some way I can have search in the old view just the search box without showing all the extended outline stuff - i find it very distracting

The best of the mindmaps

Document-based is SO much easier. Keep your maps anywhere. Hope the app continues its great development and doesn’t change the document-based aspect.

Отчаяние

Было обещано возможность сохранять карту бесплатно, ага, закатали губу обратно

1к заплати будь добр

Meh

I'm not paying $15 just to change the color of the node box lol. Lots of features locked behind premium.
