"MindNode brings order to my work and also to my days"
What do you like best about MindNode?

Dumping my thoughts and outlines is a breeze, and since it's fully integrated via iCloud I can access and review my mental outlines on any of my personal devices to maintain continuity. MindNode's visual presentation is minimalistic and I like that it doesn't clutter the screen, offering visual templates that enhance the structuring of ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

The experience is well optimized for an apple user but it would be nice to see an expansion and integrate MindNode into a mixed ecosystem (like windows) in addition to apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Been using it for years, it's never let me down"
What do you like best about MindNode?

I started out using free products like Xmind, I think, many years ago, to mindmap projects, but over time, I felt I needed something more Mac OS compatible and that was better maintained. The people who build Mindnode clearly care about it and have put a lot of thought into every piece of it. I like the automatic syncing, the SPEED of it with larger files, and more. I wouldn't hesitate to dump a ton of files for planning a wedding, a renovation, or anything else inside of it. It's one of my most trusted pieces of software for thinking and processing stuff, and has been for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

I do find that the design of it is a little less professional than it could be in a few places. I like that it's bubbly and colourful, but at the same time, the default being that way means that almost all my professional documents are purple and pink etc., which isn't exactly the best choice every time.

"Really useful, highly recommended for creatives!"
What do you like best about MindNode?

I like how simple the interface is (both in terms of the interface and navigation). I personally find MindNode very useful for brainstorming sessions and to build up ideas\concepts. I like how all of the features you need are free, and if you want a bit of customization you can pay once to unlock them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

I haven't really had any issues with it so there's pretty much nothing bad I can say about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"mind map made easy"
What do you like best about MindNode?

ease to use. It is simple to create nodes and then adjust them. You can have lots of "main node" and you can review them in the pannel on the left and play there directly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

there is one thing I'd like to do: create "stories" where you have a main line which is a sort of backbone at the same level and then you can add details for each section. This is possible but it would be nice to have a preset that helps you there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I can finally organize my thoughts. What a relief with Mindnode!"
What do you like best about MindNode?

The ease of adding branches and moving them around. Identifying them by color. Having multiple projects going. That it's a Mac only app and that it can tie into to-do list apps. Plenty of control to make it visually distinctive between branches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

It doesn't seem to allow me to split the branches equally when I place them at the top of the main branch. I don't see that it has much automation controls, such as a if/then else type of situations. I'd prefer that when I create a branch, I'd like to automate the addition of another branch as an action on another parent, if that makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beautiful and Powerful Mind Mapping Software"
What do you like best about MindNode?

Mindnode is one of the best mind mapping apps that I've ever used. It does exactly what you need and doesn't try to do more. That way it doesn't get in your way and it allows you to just flow with your ideas. The fact that it also creates beautiful mindmaps with ease helps with the user experience.

I like the fact that I can easily export the mindmaps into PDFs, PNGs, and even a RTF which allows me to easily and copy paste longer from content that's wrapped up in a node.

Additionally, the icloud integration is nice which makes using mindnode on my iPhone or iPad really easy allowing me to be anywhere and use whatever input device I feel most comfortable with at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

In the latest iteration of mindnode, they changed some of the quick keys. Being able to set my own hot keys would be better, but learning the new hotkeys wasn't too hard. I just had to re-train my hands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, easy to use, and very productive"
What do you like best about MindNode?

This idea-mapping tool is so versatile it can be used for many other projects. You can customize themes and create hierarchies. Use your mouse, add text, move lines around... so easy and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

We have found that, when the program is updated, documents need to be updated also. The process is seamless but, from time to time, the program becomes non-responsive.

We also dislike the fact that nodes can only be added horizontally. We wish we could have vertical maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Mind Mapping Tool"
What do you like best about MindNode?

Mindnode is super simple to use. I really liked the theme's which allowed me to quickly change the look of my mind maps for different audiences and even multiple mind maps. Being able to send the mindnode in open formats was an added plus. also PDF export was helpful for distributing virtual copies of the maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

Not being able to really "layout" the mind map in a way which made sense to me was a hindrance. Also moving nodes between one tree to another tree wasn't very intuitive either. The export to freemind didn't seem to translate well from a Mac to a PC. there were some issues which required us to go in and edit the XML to make it work. Missing attributes and extra attributes made it difficult to really utilize this export feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Looking for a way to quickly develop outlines for your writing?"
What do you like best about MindNode?

To get my ideas down, all I do is click on the toolbar and start typing everything about the idea without trying to sort or analyze as I type. The coolest part is when I finish, I can create a mind map with one keystroke! All of that might take me 2-3 minutes and results in a visual that I can add to later. I have so many things to remember so I like taking those few minutes and then putting it aside, knowing it is ready for more ideas later is priceless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MindNode?

I can make connections between items on the mind map but one thing to improve would be to allow labels to be added to the connections to show relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
