Customer support is great BUT this app is UNRELIABLE. They should not be charging money for a work-in-progress. This will be a great app once they finish making it.


Great App

I down loaded the free version yesterday - Got the hang of it and quickly upgraded for the extra features - If you use Minds Maps this is a great solution for the iPhone or touch - It is well thought out and has an apple like feel. Well done !


Godsend!

This is a true godsend for me!! :) Just a few suggestions: 1. I'd appreciate it if the support website elaborated a bit more on setting up custom servers for uploading SimpleMind mind maps. 2. It'd be great to be able to password lock individual mind maps stored on iPhone for obvious reasons.


SimpleMind mindmapping is an utter flop!

Useless. No instructions or help menus. Worth nothing.


As much as I want to like this app...

I had really high hopes for this app, starting out with the free version, then moving to the paid version. After about 45 minutes of intense and personally important mind mapping, the app crashed and I lost all the data I had just spent close to an hour entering! Needless to say, that was extremely demotivating and frustrating. To the developer's credit though, they have communicated via email support that they are going to try and add auto-save into an upcoming release which should help this app immensely. I've had very few iPhone apps crash and none lose as much data as I did with this one. That said, if you do any serious mind mapping and want things like notes on an object, the ability to nest objects cleanly and show/hide them, you want to share/export your maps, and you want app stability, there are much better choices for mindmapping on the iPhone.


Incredible!

Great way to brainstorm ideas, create projects, lists, to-do's, all with visual results rather then columns of words. Intuitive. Link and prioritize tasks, move them around, see clear relationships. Exporting is easy. I can print and/or email the PDF output to show an incredibly clear chart that shows everything. For people who have had crashes - folks, you have to reboot after installing apps, especially large ones, especially apps that are heavy on graphics. No problems whatsoever.


Works for me.

I think I know why people say they are losing data. The trash can icon it too easy to hit. Perhaps a diaglog box should come up after pressing the trash can saying "Delete this item?". I think that would help a lot. Also, if they could add the feature to collapse a group I would love it. Keep up the good work!


excellent BUT

I am an experienced user of this kind of program and I love this program! I use MINDJET and I have used most of the mindmapping software around. I even took a training with Tony Buzan. this program blew me away with it's simplicity! it is very easy to open up and start using. i was able to map my plan for a job and create a beautiful printout in minutes! I thought that it needs improvement. The ability to paste a doc or detail to a topic is a deal breaker for me. I had some IP info and I wanted it part of the map. the web interface. just having a web interface is awesome, but this one needs work. I never was able to sync with the desktop. I like this feature so much I will try again, but, it's too much work. get it working and I will give it a 6 star rating!


Highly disappointing.

The supposed features of the app are only through their website, making the app worthless in a restricted environment.


Come on guys...
Max Benasty

The app is decent- pretty easy to use and attractive overall. But come on, make it a little more streamlined and feature-rich and it would be fantastic. And it's a $7 app and I don't have a retina-worthy icon yet?? WTF, WAKE UP DEVS!
