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.
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.

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.
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.

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...
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.'

Mindnode helps me organize my private sphere at work or in my personal life. However it does not allow much collaboration with others.
Pros
Mindnode is easy to use and syncs flawlessly across devices. It is beautiful to look at an easy to navigate.
It's easier than linear note-taking. If I have to write a paragraph or essay I usually start with mindnode.
Same goes for project planning.
Cons
1. They could provide more icons and templates.
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.
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.
4. Is it time to grow beyond mind mapping to full on diagramming and collaboration?

Amazing mind mapping app

Fabulous!!!
Fabulous!!!
Pros
It’s super easy to use and navigate. Helps keep your mind maps organized. For those of us who are creative but like to/need to have our creativity focused on a topic, it’s very helpful. You can add and delete with ease, change colors, etc. I strongly recommend this.
Cons
It’s only available on Apple operating systems. I could really use it at work where I have to use a PC.

A helpful tool when trying to connect various thoughts or tasks.
Pros
Mindnode allowed me to take the thoughts I had and put them down on a screen. After putting them down, I was able to reorganize them into helpful, clear groupings.
Cons
After finishing a mind map, printing in a readable format is difficult. Especially if it is a larger mind map. Formating is also tricky, in trying to make sure that each sub-level is at the same spacing.

Overall this is a great tool and I can highly recommend it to spice up your note taking.
Pros
UI and UX are superior to many similar tools (and I have tested many). This makes mindnode one of the best in class.
Cons
Unfortunately no multi platform support. This means that I can't share with Android users, and use it mostly for private note taking and planning.

As mentioned, mindnode helps me organise my thoughts, and that's a wonderful thing!
My overall experience is a very pleasant one, though I would love a mobile option to be able to add things as I think of them
Pros
I'm a very ADHD person, and am constantly making lists.
Mindnode makes it that much easier to organise my scattered mess of thoughts into something cohesive that at least I can understand later on.
Good interface, nice colours and themes, and a simple UX make for a pleasant experience.
Cons
The price I suppose. I'm not currently working but have become terribly reliant on the software at this point as mentioned in the pros above.
Other than that, I can't think of anything.

Pros
With MindNode I can dump my brain into a map that makes sense and allows me to act upon what is important without loosing sight of the big picture. And is very easy to do that, very intuitive to map your mind.
Cons
Perhaps allowing me some customizations but those are very specific to what I do so it should be no concern to most.

Good Software
Reviewed on 2021/02/16
Pros
It's easy to use and visually appealing. I love the colour usage and you're able to use it for everyday things.
Cons
A lot of features are iOS only. As a non-apple user, that's very unappealing to me.
