MindMeister - Mind Mapping

Ben Muis

Really clean and easy to use. Have used it in front of clients, taking them through thought processes and inserted mind maps instead of PowerPoint slides into proposals with good feedback. Only things I would like more of is templates and more obvious links back for system diagram flows. But I'm using this all the time to discuss things with team, explain activities and flows or requirements.

I created and saved a map—but the next time I ran the app and tried to view it, it said, "You are offline. Please connect to the Internet to display the map." Say what? So this is just a frontend for a server somewhere. Why bother, when there are great free mind-map apps that let you keep your own work? Oh well, it's only a few minutes wasted… But why not explain this limitation in your description, to save us the trouble?

This app is a game changer! I use it for work and for personal organization. It really helps visualize your thought progression and easily take notes on idea paths and progressions. In addition, it has everything you actually will use and need. Not a lot of useless bells and whistles. By far, my fav. app recently! Very happy I found it1 Definitely, worth upgrading to full version!

This is the best digital mindmapping tool for me. I've used maybe a dozen alternatives, and the value, functionality, and simplicity is without peer. Capture and editing speed is terrific, the sync between browser on my desktop and app on my phone has been very reliable, and the ability to link to other mindmaps is great for organizing bigger thoughts. The presentation feature is an unexpected and very useful treat. Not the best looking maps due to limited formatting, but so easy to work with.

This app is great for keeping track of your ideas on the go and syncs with the website version really well. I can't seem to find a few features that the online version has like making a new connection or changing the hierarchy of branching ideas, but overall this app's functions meet my needs and I just have to clean up formatting when I'm at my computer.

Documents made in mindmeister are to easy to make, exportable, and sync across multiple devices. I subscribed and everything because of the convenience. I just wish you could change the color of stems, and if there was more control over the layouts. This would allow me to actually make a finished product with the app instead of having to remake it in Adobe. If you guys wanted to make my Christmas, making text formattable within the windows would be cool too.

Horrible customer service, I emailed years ago to cancel my subscription because before an update, there was no option to opt out of renewal, never received a follow up. 6 months ago, there was finally an option in the website. They didn't give a warning that the money would be withdrawn, only told me after the fact. Good tool but wasn't informed, I would have to pay to print my map until I was ready to save the document. By then it was to late as the work was already done.

Promising app idea but even basic features like PDF/image export and file attachments are locked behind paywalls I also feel as though just 3 mind maps is too little for the free app. I know I'm not the only person who has this issue. Most people will be happier dealing with a few ads than having to directly pay for basic features. I'd planned on organizing personal writing projects with this app, and since I'm a visual artist as well I'd have photos attached. Sadly, that isn't possible for me.
