5/5Wonderful interface that gets out of the way, great customization options
This is the best mind mapping app I have found for iOS/MacOS. IMO the most important ‘feautre’ for a mind mapping or creativity app is being able to get your thoughts down without having to devote attention to the interface, and the interface here is simple and elegant- especially if you have a keyboard. After only a day I found the app pretty effortless to use (my other favorite app is Scapple, but there is no iOS version yet.) The app comes with a good library of prebuilt styles but also has a lot of customization options so you can create your own styles, apply style elements to just individual items in a map, etc. There are multiple connection types available which is important if you like creating ‘free form’ type maps, most apps force you into a rigid connection scheme that looks bad if you want to move items around. Finally, the app has some deeper features such as item notes, multiple link types, labels, checklist toggles, images, and an outline view. All for a single one-time registration fee (you’ll need to buy both iOS and MacOS apps separately though). The free version is completely usable on its own, and gives you plenty of opportunity to decide if you want to pay for the extra functionality of the Pro license.

5/5Great & one time cost!
I use this on an iPad and iPhone. There are so many mind mapping apps that are subscriptions or you only get a couple maps with the free versions. It took me way too long just to find one that I could just buy with a one time cost. I think I did read that you purchase it per platform though, so if I want to use it on my laptop I would have to buy that version. I probably won’t use it on the computer but even if I did, the software is good, so I’d be okay with the cost. There’s one really big problem for me though which I hope is fixed in a future update. When I’m using the Apple Pencil on the iPad and enter a field to write into, it centers that field on the screen. That means I have to lift and move my hand to the center every time I want to write and then move the whole map back to the position I had it in. The palm rejection in the app isn’t great, both these together have caused some frustration. I’d much rather have an option to toggle this off so I can just write in the field where it already is.

5/5AI features are AMAZING
You can paste an entire mind map (or a section of a mind map I think) into this app from PURE TEXT, if you ask ChatGPT to output a mind map in a certain format (specifically “XML based OPML 2.0”). You can also OUPUT this format from the app and paste it into ChatGPT and it understands it and can help you understand it, elaborate on it, expand certain branches, brainstorm, think about how to connect sections, etc. Or it can even turn a mind map into a paragraph form and understand it like perfectly, which is shocking. Or it can literally do almost anything you want. I think these things may have been paid features on the pro or premium purchase of this app (which was a one-time fee.) I can’t remember if I got them with that upgrade or if they already existed and I just found out about them after having already upgraded. But either way, the paid upgrade was very much worth it.

5/5Best. App. Ever.
I’ve been looking for ways to help with studying, and wish I found this sooner. Downloaded the free trial on my iPhone and was sold before it even ended. Maybe it’s the OCD nerd in me, but my thoughts and notes have to be organized JUST the right way or I can’t function. I’ve tried tabs, highlighters, binders, note cards, quizlets, you name it... nothing did the job until I found this app. There are soo many features that give you the freedom to organize the clutter in your head; it’s like painting your thoughts onto a screen. I haven’t tried any other mind mapping apps since this is my first one, but I feel like it has everything I need already and don’t even want to venture. I’m pretty satisfied. I now have the paid versions for my iPhone/Ipad and windows pc too. LOVE this app! BTW: definitely read the MindMap Editor Help, and FAQ sections so you can truly enjoy the creative power of the app.

5/5Perfect- but please read ⚠️
Honestly this is an amazing app, it’s fast, easy to learn, and very intuitive. Best of all, it’s free functionality allows for a lot of flexibility despite not being pro. However, do have one major concern that makes or breaks this app for any user. There is no prompt when you delete something. So if you spend hours on a mind map, and you swipe to rename it, but you accidentally press delete; your mind map will disappear in seconds. Adding a prompt that ensure the user wants to delete a map or a trash bin seem like the most efficient solutions.‼️‼️ Lastly, maybe this is to prevent bugs or something, but you have to be zoomed in to move your mind map nodes around and to use any of your tool bar instead of being able to move them freely and use any tool from any focal point.

          "body": "This is the best mind mapping app I have found for iOS/MacOS. IMO the most important ‘feautre’ for a mind mapping or creativity app is being able to get your thoughts down without having to devote attention to the interface, and the interface here is simple and elegant- especially if you have a keyboard. After only a day I found the app pretty effortless to use (my other favorite app is Scapple, but there is no iOS version yet.) The app comes with a good library of prebuilt styles but also has a lot of customization options so you can create your own styles, apply style elements to just individual items in a map, etc. There are multiple connection types available which is important if you like creating ‘free form’ type maps, most apps force you into a rigid connection scheme that looks bad if you want to move items around. Finally, the app has some deeper features such as item notes, multiple link types, labels, checklist toggles, images, and an outline view. All for a single one-time registration fee (you’ll need to buy both iOS and MacOS apps separately though). The free version is completely usable on its own, and gives you plenty of opportunity to decide if you want to pay for the extra functionality of the Pro license.",

          "body": "I use this on an iPad and iPhone. There are so many mind mapping apps that are subscriptions or you only get a couple maps with the free versions. It took me way too long just to find one that I could just buy with a one time cost. I think I did read that you purchase it per platform though, so if I want to use it on my laptop I would have to buy that version. I probably won’t use it on the computer but even if I did, the software is good, so I’d be okay with the cost. There’s one really big problem for me though which I hope is fixed in a future update. When I’m using the Apple Pencil on the iPad and enter a field to write into, it centers that field on the screen. That means I have to lift and move my hand to the center every time I want to write and then move the whole map back to the position I had it in. The palm rejection in the app isn’t great, both these together have caused some frustration. I’d much rather have an option to toggle this off so I can just write in the field where it already is.",

          "body": "You can paste an entire mind map (or a section of a mind map I think) into this app from PURE TEXT, if you ask ChatGPT to output a mind map in a certain format (specifically “XML based OPML 2.0”). You can also OUPUT this format from the app and paste it into ChatGPT and it understands it and can help you understand it, elaborate on it, expand certain branches, brainstorm, think about how to connect sections, etc. Or it can even turn a mind map into a paragraph form and understand it like perfectly, which is shocking. Or it can literally do almost anything you want. I think these things may have been paid features on the pro or premium purchase of this app (which was a one-time fee.) I can’t remember if I got them with that upgrade or if they already existed and I just found out about them after having already upgraded. But either way, the paid upgrade was very much worth it.",

Maybe it’s the OCD nerd in me, but my thoughts and notes have to be organized JUST the right way or I can’t function. I’ve tried tabs, highlighters, binders, note cards, quizlets, you name it... nothing did the job until I found this app. There are soo many features that give you the freedom to organize the clutter in your head; it’s like painting your thoughts onto a screen. I haven’t tried any other mind mapping apps since this is my first one, but I feel like it has everything I need already and don’t even want to venture. I’m pretty satisfied. I now have the paid versions for my iPhone/Ipad and windows pc too. LOVE this app! BTW: definitely read the MindMap Editor Help, and FAQ sections so you can truly enjoy the creative power of the app.",

          "body": "Honestly this is an amazing app, it’s fast, easy to learn, and very intuitive. Best of all, it’s free functionality allows for a lot of flexibility despite not being pro. However, do have one major concern that makes or breaks this app for any user. There is no prompt when you delete something. So if you spend hours on a mind map, and you swipe to rename it, but you accidentally press delete; your mind map will disappear in seconds. Adding a prompt that ensure the user wants to delete a map or a trash bin seem like the most efficient solutions.‼️‼️ Lastly, maybe this is to prevent bugs or something, but you have to be zoomed in to move your mind map nodes around and to use any of your tool bar instead of being able to move them freely and use any tool from any focal point.",
