MindNode – Classic

It’s been a while since I used the iPad version, and I was surprised to see I can no longer edit any files without subscribing. I understand the need for the business model, but removing functionality that was already paid for is crappy.

发钱够买专业版本3年没有更新了，这里出个订阅版本再收费吃相太难看了！

The most helpful app for managing lots of tasks, procedures, models and all! However there is a new bug that is really annoying on iPad. When trying to add a new node, a new styled edit menu appears right over the + button.

I have signed up for their annual subscription, but the upgrade is not functioning on my MacBook Pro, iPhone, and Apple Watch. I have sought support, but there has been no reply to address the issue since July 2024. Very disappointed and hope to have this resolved soon.

played around with it for an hour and realized it had every single feature i was looking for. this will help solve so many issues with my life and definitely help with my organization!! and i love that it automatically builds the outline and mind map for you simultaneously and allows you to view both! 10/10 app

I expect to be able to print from my phone..why does mindnode not have this feature for phones ? cannot commit to purchase without this..

Old Review: Once you create a new document and are actually on the document, the experience is smooth and relatively simple. But getting to the document, that’s the hard part. At least it is for me. Whenever I open it, i can’t find my document because the only tabs there are for me is Recents and Shared. And since the document I was working on doesn’t show up, there is no way for me to find it. I don’t know, maybe I’m doing something wrong. But there should be a tab or group or something where you can see ALL of the mind maps you’ve ever created at once, even if they’re years old. If they fix this, then I will without a doubt give this app a 5 star rating. Edit: Ok, my problem is fixed. My iPad was just acting weird so I shut it down and then restarted it, and now everything’s working again. Amazing app!

I’ve had a Mind Node subscription for years, and used it with much success. It is great for brainstorming as long as you have a regimented perspective with the hierarchical way that layouts and node creation and connection works in the app. However, keep in mind, that’s not the full nature of *brainstorming*! Things are not always strictly hierarchical, nor pure parent-child relationships. Sometimes logic is more mesh-oriented, parents defer to other parents, or a linear flow or connection needs to be represented without imposing hierarchy or priority or parent-child type relationships. Full disclosure — I’m an app-developer myself, and I find that design often suffers from the limitation of narrow perspective — and how an app is used (or can be) informs well about design. I want so badly to use Mind Node as my single brainstorming app, but the inability to gracefully do simple linear flows without imposing hierarchy requires me to have another graphing / diagramming app — I cannot rely on Mind Node as my sole app for brainstorming. I’ve seen other user reviews requesting the same thing. The ability to create and connect nodes without imposing hierarchy or rank visually on nodes (think: just a simple flow chart) would be a major improvement in the app, and would align more closely with the nature of true brainstorming. Here’s to hoping for that in the future!

i love this app so much. i use everyday. but i really want this app able to adding youtube link with thumnail like freeform(apple app). if i drag youtube link to mindnode, thumnail should be adding like freeform. please 😭😭

I owned this a long long time ago, and if you use an app tracker you can see how they keep killing Mind Node apps and coming out with new ones that require more $$$ thrown at them, rather than support their early adopters by including BASIC features for a mind mapping app…like the ability to add an image. Instead you must subscribe in order to do something as simple as this… early adopters should get any updates for FREE but at bare minimum add ons like this should be a small, one-time purchase, period. Absolutely ridiculous app shake down and a terrible way to support early customers. Shame on you. And Apple for very much encouraging this business model. You both are complicit in this.
