miMind - Mind Map, Brainstorm

I tried a number of different mind-map apps and the like, and this one is by far my favorite. The user interface is very well-designed, with the app being easy to learn and use without compromising its ability to map out complex ideas. I also find the look very sleek and I love how you can visualize groups of subnodes, it helps clear up the map. While mentioning that last part though, there is one missing feature that would really make this app just what I’m looking for: taking the “reattach” option when clicking on a node & modifying it to allow users to attach said node to multiple parent nodes rather than simply just one. That way, you can show how ideas or parts of an idea merge/combine to form new ones, kind of like a family tree in that sense due to there being more than one parent node for a particular subnode. Likewise, pressing the “group” option when utilizing this feature will even further show how the ideas collide by visualizing it in a Venn diagram-like fashion with the two groups converging into a common combined group. Having this ability would really optimize its organizing/mind-mapping potential and more-or-less remove any drawbacks I see in this app. So, I hope someday the developers allow users to attach nodes to multiple parent nodes and visualize this with the group feature, but I still give it five stars because it’s an excellent app and does just what it says it will.

I use mind mapping when I'm going to be teaching. I downloaded the free version and was so impressed with all the features available, the user friendly interface, and the layout that I decided to support the developer and bought the paid version. There was one thing I could not figure out how to do - copy material from somewhere else into the mind map. I emailed the developer and then figured it out and sent another email letting them know I had figured it out and that I got the paid version. I still got a response thanking me for using MiMind and for upgrading to the paid version. I previously used SimpleMind and like this one much better. Not only is this a great app but the developer stand by it. A great product all the way around.

As someone who has tried a lot of mind mapping applications and software, I was blown away when I used this one. It’s responsive, easy to use, and has a ton of options. The best part is you can use almost everything in the free version! Contrast that to the vast majority of other mind mapping applications that barely let you scratch the surface of their platform before requiring you to pay. Well I’ve deleted all of them. In fact, it was your generosity with the free version that made me want to buy the full version. I hope more developers will follow your lead. You’ve done a fantastic job and I urge you to continue the great work. Thanks. Nate
