Xmind: AI Mind Map, Brainstorm

There is a possibility that I am just inept at working the app and I would appreciate instruction if that is the case. I need to have more control for this to really be worth my time. I would like to be able to add topics into my maps above ones that I’ve already done, sometimes i discover new information that needs to be added toward the middle or top of a map and the only way to do that is to delete things and remap. If i could move things in free space that would solve the issue. Also connecting separated topics, just because things are different at one step or another doesn’t mean they don’t have the same outcome so id like to be able to connect my boxes that have separated back into one. Finally the big one is being able to have AI build maps for me that i can edit, This is a great tool but when there’s really large quantities of information I can’t just sit there and build maps even though i would like too. If these features were added the app would be a 6 star app!

I suggested a simple solution several times and they always replied that they would considerate and add in a future upgrade. However nothing has been done in over 9 months and they are forcing me away from XMind to competitive mind mapping which all them seem to have numbers 0 to 9, so when you want a to number branches of past 7, you can. With 0 to 9 you can add Infinite numbers. XMind stopped at 7 and only have 1-7 why? It is the easy programming fix add 0,8,9 only 3 additional markers so we, the end users can number priority's beyond 7 I send screen shots from a competitive mind map that I seem to Gravitate to because of the numbering. Unless this is fixed I will be forced to cancel my subscription and stay with competing mindmapping and nowadays there ar plenty good ones. Just type in mind-mapping in the apple store. Unhappy disappointed customer Why can’t you start with a blank mind map with just a central Topic as a starting point? You have to pick from template then delete or fill in. It’s odd that’s support does not respond or address any of these reviews with comments or reply

I’ve enjoyed XMind for quite some time. Developers are very committed to smooth experience. This is apparent in bugs, assuming they exist, being made transparent. One suggestion from my side, depending on the roadmap, that will help to keep competitive. Moving away from rigid top down structures (not how we think), apps are trying to find UXs that represent many-to-many bottom-up lookups on the back end. Some do this miserably with “tag only” systems that delude into piles of information. Others are trying to put the user closer to the database with wikis and record linking features. There is somewhere in the middle, and I think Workflowy just got close. They’ve implemented what are called “mirrors”, where an instance of information in one bullet can be copied to another bullet half way across the list. The interesting thing is, they’re linked, meaning a change happens in one place reflects in another. Anyone working with DBMSs knows this is pretty simple on the backend. However, this paradigm shift from folder systems isn’t so simple to the consumer. Mirroring is an analogy that makes sense, is simple, yet very powerful. Unfortunately for Workflowy, despite mastering the list UX, don’t have the mind map. I’d encourage XMind to find an analogy that makes sense to the consumer to “reflect” the same information’s updates in two different places on a mind map.
