ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Brainstorming holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainstorming has 71 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Brainstorming's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brainstorming ships an update every 9 days, Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
