SimpleMind gives me visual flexibility to organize ideas in various layouts—vertical, horizontal, or list. I can expand or collapse all topics easily, edit intuitively with drag-and-drop, and enrich my maps by attaching voice notes or video files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I currently have no real complaints—past issues with performance on complex, media-heavy maps were resolved in recent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I remember using this app on my android phone to make some mind maps a few years ago. It's a free app and mostly it worked fine, easy to use, you were able to use it on a tablet or on a phone, it wasn't slow, it let you customize the map a little bit. So in general was a good experience, no issues and mostly, it helped me to finish the mind maps easily and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app had a good performance and never had issues with it, but the only thing that I disliked about simplemind is that the design seems to be stuck in the 2000's, it was hard to make it look modern or different, this didn't affect the result but it was and it is a thing that I always pay attention to, the option to modify your designs to make them look cooler.

Simplemind helps me organize the ideas in my head, remember information, and generate new ideas. I use it to create mindmaps that I share with my students & other colleagues. I use it daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the documentation is not that good. It could have helped many times. Though the product is simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the best about SimpleMind is it's user friendly interface, customisation options, multiple layouts and sharing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that SimpleMind gives me a powerful, flexible tool to generate attractive mind maps, timelines, and to-do lists on mobile (I use the Pro version on iOS). The developers have remained active in keeping the app up-to-date, and have even added some new features (e.g. Brainstorm) that are super helpful, and while it offers a variety of pre-made templates to use, you can also make freeform maps and structure them however you want, and save your own custom templates for later. I use it for character development, story brainstorming, plotting/structure, keeping track of tasks and deadlines for school etc. The fact that it can sync with OneDrive or other cloud services and export to a variety of file types is also super valuable to me.

Purchasing the Pro version doesn't get you the upgrade across all platforms -- if you purchase it for iOS, you still have to pay for it on Windows (and vice versa). A lot of programs work this way, and to be fair, I rarely miss it on PC (I prefer mindmapping with a touchscreen device), and the iOS version is significantly cheaper than the Windows version, so it's not necessarily a big deal if you only need to use it on one platform -- just something to be aware when considering the upgrade from free/trial to Pro.

Many options to create visually appealing mind maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some options to integrate other standard chart visual elements are not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software does not restrict you to any way of creating a mind map, there are traditional templates but if you choose the free form layout you can create it whichever way you like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the colour schemes and the template colours, they need better art direction to get their icons and themes colours up to scratch. I use MindMaster when I need good looking flow charts and also things like fishbones and circular mindmaps, which Simplemind lacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has more layout options and an excellent mobile app for Android, which I am using on my cell phone since 2013. I have initially started using to gather my thoughts when planning to start my own consultancy. I used it to create sitemaps, mind maps, action tasks, and share it with my team.

You can't save your custom templates easily, every time you have to struggle to create a layout as you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SimpleMind is intuitive in its simplest use case. It has plenty of advanced features, but unlike MS Word they are invisible until used. A great tutorial and help site binds it all together. This is how software/apps should be developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like many touch-enabled apps, certain functionality is less discoverable - like doing a long press to enable multiple-selection (this is needed to relocate an entire region of the mindmap at once). But the help site certainly helped me through this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
