    I always used to start the day and didn't had any idea where to start the day from. The last 3 days work can be seen clearly on first look under 1 min. with this app.

  • Enjoying This App So Far

    I've used this app for about a month now. I do a weekly talk and use this for my talk mindmap, including images and a variety of sizes and colors. I'm on an iMac and it's refreshing for everything to be handy and how to use it and what it does works intuitively with what I'm familiar with already. I've paid for all kinds of app subscriptions for mind mapping software. This one is my favorite now.

  • Same problem going agian

    "I am experiencing the same issue persistently. I use this app as an alternative to notes, and at some point, when one or more small images are inserted or the amount of notes increases to a certain extent, zoom in/out functionality becomes unresponsive. It takes about 1-2 minutes for it to become usable. I have reported the same issue via email, but Mindnode acknowledges the issue without taking any corrective action through their developers."

    All the major collaboration tools have passed this. It was a good tool but in 2024 not being able to collaborate in real time with team members is just unheard of. They keep coming out with stickers instead of real features.

    I use mindnode to make lessons for my church. It is easy to use and full of features! I love how you can add different media into the canvas. Its great for writing down thoughts for a lesson because you can move all of them around. I use mindnode for every lesson I make, which is a lot. Thanks Mindnode!

  • If you're thinking about it, do it

    I've literally just downloaded this and signed up for the 14 days (always gotta test things out first), and I'm already farther in my novel planning than I got just in word/pages alone. This makes it SO much easier to organize my thoughts and the scenes I want to write, as well as makes it very easy to see everything on one page vs the way I normally do it (via the comments on pages and then sometimes things get lost). I have literally only been using this an hour, and, after getting over a tiny learning curve, I can say this is one of the best apps I've ever used. I will definitely come back and update once I get a little more exprience under my belt, but, my goodness, if you're looking for something to help you organize your thoughts, espeically if you are into writing, literally look no further - this is the app for you.

  • Used to own this application, now have to pay monthly

    By Steve😃😁
    Hey IdeasOnCanvas, what gives. I purchased this application outright a while ago, and access to the application I purchased has been revoked and I now have to pay for a monthly subscription? That seems unfair. I get that the developers need to be paid, but I should have access to the snapshot of the version that was out at the time I made my payment years ago.

  • Enjoy the Ease of Use

    By Nova+Chican
    Have been using this product for about 2 or 3 years now & really enjoy the simple & intuitive layout options. I don't enjoy the mobile versions as much because of the space limitations, as I tend to create huge mind maps that are more like journeys of experiences versus just simple outlines. Enjoy seeing my thoughts on paper to better understand them & the robust choices for personalization are something I've enjoyed the most. Keep up the great work & maybe consider making a buy one time option, since there are lots of companies that go under & the buy once option might necessitate making a mroe secure way of storing the notes on the cloud on the developers end. Which would allow for more secure note taking for future customers. You can still sell optional upgrades here & there as most modern SaaS providers do anyways.

  • The best, with one nagging pain point

    By kaderan
    I am a PhD student. I cannot live without this program. I own much more powerful apps (Tinderbox) and more graphically oriented visualization tools (Curio), which I have tried to integrate into my workflow, but I keep returning to Mindnode. The balance of power and ease of use is just right... this program is a low-friction, high-ROI tool. Buy it. I have knocked off one star only because this program lacks one thing, which for me is a real pain point: The (in)ability of a Mindnote file to support multiple mind maps in tabbed form in the same document, which could be linked to each other. (similar to sheets in an Excel file, for ex.) My maps are large and complex, and my use case overwhelms the focus/re-focus function and the outline/search functionality. I really need to be able to link a node to a new mind map in a separate tab in the same document, preferably with bi-directional links. Please?? (note: It is possible to approximate this behavior by creating a folder of files, opening them in tabs and linking between them, but this is unnecessary friction in this otherwise elegant program.
