MindNode 4 App Reviews

This app is not usable... Why wont it download my saved files from the cloud?

This is a visually attractive mind mapping app. It has a relatively small but useful set of functionality for the typical mind mapping process. Because of the slick zooming and panning, creating and editing a mind map on the iPhone isnt a chore; but this app really shines on an iPad. Manipulating a mind map by adding, connecting, moving, or deleting nodes is quick and intuitive. There are a number of options for changing the appearance of the map. There is always a trade off when deciding which features to support and which to leave out. I think the balance achieved here is a very good one; there may be other mind mapping apps with a heavier feature set but they wont have the clean and slick user interface of this one. I often use this app as a hierarchical to do list, checking tasks off as I compete them by changing the box style of each entry as I go. Gives a quick visual perspective on which tasks remain and which have already been done.

I just purchased MindNode tonight and spent several hours getting to know it. Previously to my purchase of MindNode I was using a competitive product that I had enjoyed for some time and had became fairly comfortable with. For some reason the old app I was using no longer updated and it required a re-purchase to use fully, so I took the opportunity to go shopping. Glad I did! MindNode is very intuitive, simple to set up and start using (i.e. Cloud stuff) and in about 20 minutes I had put together a fantastic map! Just based on the simplicity and out of the box usability, MindNode is a huge upgrade from my previous app. After the few hours of use tonight I feel more comfortable with MindNode then I did with my old apps after several years of use! Excellent!!! Enjoy!

Amazing app - finally a visualization tool that is relevant to my thought process. Its flexible and works with all types, but allows me full expression. The more I use it, the more nice features I find. Dont stop pushing this app guys! You have a winner

Waste of money.

When you use a tool and you arent aware of the design- thats when they nailed it. This is an example. Make linked thoughts, brainstorm with loose organization and see it take shape. With a main node selected paste a list and they are all connected. Swipe on the right edge and the last menu you selected is displayed. Mac app is great too.

In love with the MindNode for Mac, but iPad version crashes constantly!!! Sometimes the app doesnt want to load the maps from the icloud.

A really useful and beautiful app. The only flaw is the file management. If iCloud is enabled and Internet is not available, it wont save. If storage is switched from online to offline, you seem to lose all your files. Save yourself the trouble and just leave iCloud off!

One of the best productivity apps Ive ever used. Absolutely indispensable for project planning. Great way of getting ideas down fast. Fantastic UI.

The interface gets out of the way. Greeting you with a blank canvas can be intimidating but after a quick tour it seems natural. Distracted free writing for mind mapping.

I can finally track all my thoughts now

If you dont yet have the MindNode app for iOS, grab it. Its a great implementation of mind mapping. Ive never really picked up mind mapping due to poor or unclear implementations in other apps and a lack of clarity on why one would do it, but MindNode does mind mapping really well. Once you take just a few minutes to learn to use the app, it basically "gets out of your way" and lets you jot down your thoughts with ease. Im likely going to get the Mac version too so that maps will sync with and can be modified on any device. The new screencasts (at the developers website) explain mind mapping and the app itself superbly.

Ive been searching for a mind-mapping app which is both free and easy to use. This one is working out well so far, but Ive had it for a day, so things could change.

A useful idea, but poorly implemented. Its difficult, maybe impossible to use because you have to tap with more precision than a finger can provide, and its method of interface is counterintuitive. You could try it out while its free, but I would not recommend spending anything for this app. But on the bright side... At least it loaded and didnt crash.

While its quicker for me to scribble everything out onto paper. MindNode is great to copy that to and have it all laid out for me perfectly as I need it. Great for writers, screenwriters, anybody in the arts.

I use this app every day. Syncs via iCloud.

I am in love with this mind mapping tool, it is great, and there is seamless transition between iPad, iPhone and Mac, they nailed it. Just start brainstorming.

Rach truth bro! I lîle it!!! Gère auto correct!

Any mindnode file you have created using Mindnode Lite on your mac don’t expect to be able to use it unless you pay extra for Mindnode Pro which has iOS sync capability.
