Mind Mapping - MindMeister

Platform: iPad. I really want to like MindMeister. I’ve used it on the PC desktop before with great success. The iOS app looks great, the functions are what I generally want, but the implementation is frequently buggy and intrudes on efficient use. For example, pressing “Enter” to start a new node or tapping outside an active node will frequently bounce you away to an entirely different part of the mindmap, often zooming you out so far that you can’t even see the mindmap anymore and have to exit and reopen the mindmap to see anything. Another issue is when using a dark background template, when creating new nodes the background will swap back to displaying as white until you close that mindmap and reopen it again. A third bug is that when using the “attachment” option to attach a PDF to a node, every time you open and close the mindmap it will add another copy of the PDF to the node (I have one mindmap that was showing four copies of the same PDF, for example). Needless to say, these bugs really interrupt your workflow, making the app tedious to use. Additionally, the iPad version does not do as good of a job as the desktop version in automatically orienting nodes and pathways to be easy to read. They get truly ponderous if you use it for note taking. That said, if they fixed these bugs I’d be a mostly happy camper.

if you have troubles, focusing telling stories breaking down your thought process, min is the go to app and site. You can use to be more productive, achieve your goals. Use on the daily download and use reminders make list and it completely worth the subscription. I’ve been struggling with ADHD, since the age of three misdiagnosed still haven’t been medicated, and this is the only way that I have gotten as far as I have, by using this app, I use this app to completely develop my two businesses by breaking down each business and mindmeister has tuturials on how to create and use each map and how to put links and as a software engineering student and digital marketinig student and social media manager helps me create, schedule and keep track and develop ways to organize my thoghts even by writing down a bunch of jerberish and this app will put you thoughts into priority of though instead! Thank guys and i love i use my phone my i pad and even windows and use this to achieve what i wouldnt have been able to with the severe adhd that makes it hard to process my own thoughts and focus on one step at a time. thank you!!!!!

Just an all around great app and great user experience. Pros: easy to use, great design, the ease of use again - thoughts can just flow off the mind. Also the fact that you can export to xmind which is for desktop is a big plus over other similar apps because if I want to export everything in the future I can. Other online only apps with monthly subcriptions feel like too big a risk. If I ever leave the app, all my hard work is basically tossed out. Cons: I wish there was an option to increase or reduce the space between different threads. Everything bunches together which is not always how I want it, but overall not a big deal. Not even sure it’s not the best solution. Organizing all my maps: It would be nice to be able to add tags to my maps instead of having to use folders. It would be easier to organize all of my maps that way since many times one map could have a few key topics, and I want it to link to all of them.
