## Reviews

### "The ideal mind mapping tool for Apple users" — 5.0/5

> **Luciano** | *2 December 2021* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Transforming nodes into tasks is essential to me. I can also sync lists, research deadlines, or weekend plans with the Apple Reminders app and tick off done activities.
> 
> **Cons**: I would have bought MindNode Plus with my eyes closed if it wasn't a subscription tool. Although the monthly cost is very advantageous, I would prefer to purchase a lifetime license.
> 
> The overall experience is very good. Those who use and appreciate the Apple ecosystem will certainly find themselves at ease and very comfortable in its use, thanks to a particular attention to detail, graphics and resources made available.

### "Crucial for Mac-based information workers." — 5.0/5

> **Ben** | *27 May 2023* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: MindNode is an incredibly powerful and easy to use mind mapping tool. It is incredibly easy to use, with a simple and intuitive interface that makes it easy to quickly enter data and create beautiful mind maps. It also has powerful features that allow you to export your mind maps into great looking documents, as well as standard file formats which can be easily converted via Pandoc into great looking LaTeX documents. It is also incredibly fast when it comes to data entry, allowing you to quickly and easily enter data and create beautiful mind maps. All in all, MindNode is an incredibly powerful and easy to use mind mapping tool that gets out of your way and allows you to quickly and easily create beautiful mind maps.
> 
> **Cons**: MindNode lacks live collaboration features, which would make it easier to work on mind maps with a team. Additionally, there are no built-in themes for expressing the progression of ideas in a mind map, which can be a limitation for this use case. Finally, there is no native integration with Pandoc for more flexible export options, such as LaTeX Beamer. While it's possible to do this manually, one needs to be a technical user.
> 
> and easyMy overall experience with MindNode has been incredibly positive. It has become a crucial part of my workflow, helping me to manage tasks, write, plan projects, design training courses, and produce learning materials. MindNode makes mind mapping fun and easy, allowing me to quickly and easily create visually appealing diagrams that help me to organize my thoughts and ideas. I highly recommend MindNode to anyone looking for an effective and enjoyable way to organize their thoughts and ideas.

### "Good for a free trial, you can buy something better" — 3.0/5

> **Sam** | *16 March 2021* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great intro into mind mapping tools. I would recommend it for someone who wants a simple no frills interface.
> 
> **Cons**: It is a bit too basic and 'too pretty' for me. I was looking for something with more features and functionality. This feels a little like 'style over substance.'
> 
> I had an okay experience with it. I won't be shouting from the rooftops about this tool. Ask be for a better recommendation and I've got one for you...

### "My go-to braindump tool for years, and for years to come" — 5.0/5

> **Nir** | *17 March 2022* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Mindnode is easy to use and syncs flawlessly across devices. It is beautiful to look at an easy to navigate. &#10;It's easier than linear note-taking. If I have to write a paragraph or essay I usually start with mindnode. &#10;Same goes for project planning.
> 
> **Cons**: 1. They could provide more icons and templates. &#10;2. Copying and pasting to other platforms is problematic. Font sizes, tabs, indentation, etc. I wish there was a way to "copy as X" so it's easier to paste elsewhere. &#10;3. The iCloud sync sometimes leaves me high and dry when in flight mode. I thought that the file was downloaded but then realize it's still up in the cloud, when I'm up in the air and no way to sync. Wish there was an easy way to prepare for that. &#10;4. Is it time to grow beyond mind mapping to full on diagramming and collaboration?
> 
> Mindnode helps me organize my private sphere at work or in my personal life. However it does not allow much collaboration with others.
