SimpleMind Pro - Mind Mapping 应用的评论

This is the second memorable mindmap software I’ve used. Discovered it after the former one was suddenly unsupported. Other users referred this program and it hasn’t disappointed in anyway. I’ve noticed and to be noted it has replaced my notes app for the most part. It gets me where I need to go and have already gifted it to others.

While iCloud works on iPhone, it does not on iPad. Developers won’t fix it. Save your money and don’t buy this.

This intuitive mind-mapping tool supports my creative processes in a way that allows my ideas to bloom organically. The mobile and desktop versions flow seamlessly together, making it super-easy to brainstorm or organize wherever inspiration grabs you. My spouse and I have concluded that SimpleMind Pro is WORTH EVERY PENNY, even when purchasing both mobile and desktop platforms (no subscription fees). All thumbs up for this app - you’ll use it!

I just got it and I love it. Only had it a few days and made 10 maps. I wish it was one pro license for all devices.

The app is cross platform. iCloud Drive sync with Windows takes a little time to set up, but works well. The app is performant and has a cohesive feature-set. User interface is efficient. Great job!

I’m new to mind mapping… but this is exactly what I needed! I’m a visual spatial thinker and I see the world in patterns (think fractals). I have always had trouble being able to write down my thoughts or ideas in a linear fashion (outline or files) the cross referencing never worked well enough! This is how I think! and at last I have a way to organize my ideas! It takes a bit of time to learn the basics… I’m missing a star because it is sometimes hard to find answers to questions or help topics. Also I wish there were more templates… Or some way to make your own… I don’t think you can use it if you don’t have wifi access… which was disappointing. But overall I love it!

I really appreciate that SimpleMind doesn’t use a subscription model. I feel confident creating mind maps that I’ll be able to edit and view them for as long as I need. I don’t use mind mapping that frequently, so this is crucially important to me.

I am an outliner. Helps to keep my mind in line. SimpleMind adds a visual aspect to this organization. I love it and have for years.

What’s not to like about something that works! long-term support and development is unmatched.

Easy enough for a beginner but enough zing, zang and bells for the most diehard mindmapper. Did I mention how reasonably priced it was?

I’m an obsessive mind mapper who’s tested out many apps and programs, and SimpleMind Pro is hands-down the best. It does everything I want it to, nothing I don’t, and even their customer support is superb. I recommend to everyone.

This is an awesome tool. Easy to use and the pro version can be used on different devices. I always have access to my notes/plans from my ipad to phone to computer. This is a big help in keeping account management straight and easy.

First off you open the app and it’s just the mind map with no tutorial or anything, it’s a confusing app, so I’ve opted for a refund because I’ve already deleted the app and won’t be using it. If you have adhd this is not for you.

And it’s a one time purchase! Thank you!

I have a only a few issues with it - there’s a bit of a learning curve, and I wish it could export an outline directly to Word. But it is available on multiple platforms, and everything else requires a subscription. You should buy it. We need to support these people to keep this excellent program going.

I’m a devoted and longtime mindmapper. I use them for everything. For many years, I used MindMeister and loved it. I brought them dozens of customers as well… as I had all my private students and coworkers use it too. Then something changed. Their software stopped working well and their customer service plummeted. Hundreds of maps in, I had to find a replacement. And THANK GOODNESS I found SimpleMind! Sooooooo MUCH BETTER! First of all… no subscription. I’d rather pay big once than monthly. And the cost isn’t even big. Second, it runs locally… using the power of my computer, iPhone, or iPad… rather than running on browser. With all that power, it remains smooth like butter… never glitchy at all. Also, it’s quite powerful. You can do lots to customize your maps and interconnections. Also, maps save in your own personal cloud accounts so they aren’t owned by the company. MindMeister has all my maps and I have to pay a 6 month subscription just to get them. The SimpleMind online tutorials are great and they are always adding new useful features. Once you get used to it, the workflow is intuitive… but since there are so many features, I recommend spending some time in tutorials. Worth the effort. Grateful to the developers. Great job. I already sending you lots of new customers and shall continue to do so. Amor y Paz, TOA

I’ve used this product for several years across multiple platforms. It always works and it always works well. Excellent import and export options make it one of the most productive parts of your planning toolkit.

Regular Updates. iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS integration. No annoying Subscription. Brainstorming feature to quickly input ideas without structure is super handy.

I’m relatively new to mind mapping and didn’t want to try the other versions because of either their lack of cross-platform support or subscription model. I tried others before discovering SimpleMind Pro. I purchased this app for macOS,iPadOS, and windows. It works similarly and equally well on each too! I do a lot of our companies technical writing and documentation layout. SimpleMind Pro does everything I need as far as documentation planning and development. I especially appreciate the ability to link map nodes to the actual topic in the document. This linking and color-coding allow me to track progress and needed edits. Thank you to the developers for a great application with a relative easy interface and short learning time!

Effective layouts, customizable to meet my needs, decent user interface, SimpleMind is the best mind mapping app I’ve used.

Ive never left a review before but I’m an unorganized person who likes being organized so to me this app is a godsend 🤟🏾

Simple Mind Pro is the best mind mapping tool that exists for iPad. Its ease of use is wonderful, its functionality is basic, and its intuitiveness is natural. It’s one of the easiest apps I’ve ever used with my my Apple Pencil. It enables you to create visual representations of complex ideas in a way your mind wants you to see them on paper (and anyone else can follow.) Totally worth the cost and the value over time is incalculable.

The software works great, however when I connect to OneDrive Business, the software reports an error and cannot connect. Please fix it asap!

Actually, I’m enjoying my job more, thanks to this app.

It works great, it’s easy to add pictures and drawings, and it syncs well. One of the things I really like is that I can buy it rather than pay a subscription! I may be old school but I remember a time when we could buy software rather than rent it. I wish users would boycott apps that require subscriptions. Here is my only problem with it. You can’t do organic mind mapping. Free style is close but it doesn’t allow the words to follow the lines like if you were drawing on pen and paper. Instead it uses the fishbone style. (If you don’t know what I mean see the book “Mind Mapping for Dummies") Imindmap is the only one I can find that does organic mind mapping but they charge a ridiculous price for a subscription. Please update to allow organic mind mapping. Your app is already great but it would be the absolute best if we could do organic mind mapping on it!

So many developers try so hard to make their apps into an everything app that it just becomes a chaotic complicated mess. This app is a mind map app and it’s excellent. Simple and intuitive. Totally deserves all 5 stars. I would like to suggest that tapping on some of the elements is tedious, but not worth dropping a star for, and they work on the app a lot, so I believe that will be better in the future. I want to make clear that this isn’t even close to being even a small issue. It takes nothing whatsoever away from the app, it’s just a little thing that could be a little better

Excellent app. Has a million uses. Gets constantly updated. Very customizable.

I love this tool. If you’re the type of person that likes mind mapping then this is for you. It’s affordable too.

I’ve used other mindmappers for Windows and Linux and Mac but this one just has a certain extra and ease of use to it.

In the age of premiums, SimpleMind Pro offers a one time payment. This app does everything I need for a mind mapping app and more! The customization options are pretty much endless and linking things is not locked behind a premium. I want to thank the developers for making this one time payment. It goes to show that you don’t need all that money to make a great product. However, my ONLY COMPLAINT is the UI. It’s not anything fancy but I think if you can master the UI it shouldn’t bother you.

Fantastic App, great tool for projects and organizing anything in your mind.

This app is one of my favorites but it has a few limitations that have made it harder for me to use it regularly. The first limitation is that it’s very difficult to create large mind maps with it without creating a mess. I decided to use it to summarize some important points from a textbook and this just led to a disorganized looking mind map. I tried to move the bubbles around but the problem is that it’s not possible to move the bubbles when zoomed out. I tried the multiple selection mode as well but I still cannot move the bubbles when zoomed out. If I try to select them in zoomed in mode and then zoom out, it automatically deselects the bubbles that I had selected. This makes it a lot harder to manually organize the mind map because I cannot see what I’m doing if I have to be zoomed in just so I can move things around. I think there needs to be a way to organize the bubbles in zoomed out mode. Also, I think there should be an option for the bubbles to be automatically organized. For example, if I add a new bubble or I move one of the bubbles in a different location, everything else should be automatically nudged so that there’s no overlapping. Fixing these little issues, would make organization much easier and less frustrating. The second limitation that I encountered in this app is the exporting options. There’s no way to export the outlines into a .doc or .pages file, in order to maintain text formatting and also be able to edit the file. I tried exporting as a .txt file but that doesn’t hold any formatting, so it’s hard to read. I would have to go through the whole thing myself in order to bold and italicize some of the text in order to make it easier to read. The other option was to export the outline as a PDF. This was ok, but not ideal because everything was exported in bold letters. Since the formatting is all the same, it’s hard to tell which are the bigger topics and what topics fall underneath them, and where one topic separates from another. I think that this mind mapping app is a good starting point for recording ideas but it is also important that I can export those ideas in order to make further use of them.

Some of us are goal driven and some of us are scattered. Write your important goals in the middle and map out what it takes to get there. That is what makes mind mapping great. I used the free tools for years but nothing came close to the ease of this tool so I put it on every device. If you need to work with a team ... mind mapping allows you to see what it takes to get there — then delegate branches and coordinate interaction between groups. It makes cooperative projects possible. Presentations are easy, copy their templates and fill them in for your own projects. It is like having a self-guided tutor. That is why I give it a five.

This is an amazing mapping software (the best one I could find on the App Store without a monthly subscription) and I so badly want to give it 5 stars but there are a few issues. (1) The select tool is horrible. You may want to make 15 bubbles in one color for example and you have to select each one (no problem) but the program will exit selection if you accidentally click just a hair outside the bubble (which happens far too often). Solution: give us a “X” button to exit the selection tool and disable touch input to the blank canvas as the method of exit. (2) The colors! Allow us to have a palette of preset colors. I hate how our only option is this super complicated color selector. Sometimes I want a same color applied to different branches and I hate how I have to find the exact color code and copy and paste it each and every time. Would rather I always have quick access to the colors I always use. (3) The search function needs to be homogenized. I should be able to search for a certain key word through all my maps and quickly skim through them. Now I have to search a key word and it gives me all the maps that word is in, then I have to go through each one and use another search tool to go through that specific map. I need to keep doing this process repeatedly till I find what I want It’s needlessly tedious. Anyways, it’s a great app, I have come to rely on it and these are very minor issues that can be fixed. Once they are addressed I will proudly give it a 5 star review!

if theres one app you need its this

Had it in the iPad Pro , worked great, made mind maps. I downloaded the app on my iPhone, then the app deleted all my cloud mind maps. Now I have to remake the maps, which I will have to do on another app. Devs, when syncing a cloud folder, err to the side of not deleting the data when there is a mismatch between devices, come on.

I’ve tried a bunch of mind map app but “Simplemind” is the best mind mapping app in the world. ease-of-use, full control, customizable features such custom font, color coordinated,... I love it. ❤️

Having issues with thinking straight and focusing makes these apps indispensable. It’s like a part of my neurology now. How do you thank some one for giving you a part of your brain? I mention iThoughts too because its just as good and because each one has some unique features that the other does not have. Like slideshows on this one (which was is amazing idea I did not even expect or ask for), or the effortless free form layout with the ability to rotate or move branches around for visibility and control. I’d choose this one for creativity and brainstorming, whereas the other one is better for overall knowledge management. This app is soooo good! THANK YOU!

I think this is the best overall mind mapping tool available on mobile devices and personal computers. A bit more highly usable pure mind map functionality than it’s closest competitors; cross platform file compatibility for iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Windows, Android, plus cloud sharing across all, doesn’t seem to be cluttered with obscure features that aren’t strictly mind mapping. I like that the pro version supports OPML import/export if you never need to exchange files with other mindmapping or outlining tool. A few minor quibbles... can’t yet move my custom style definitions to the top of the style list ahead of the pre-defined styles. And the iCloud sharing is only by slightly clunky sharing of exported files, not by the elegant and more simple iCloud entitlements for Apple common sandboxed data storage container, probably because file sharing needs to work across Google Drive, DropBox, etc., for non-Apple platforms as well. Strangely, though, the Mac version doesn’t seem to support MS OneDrive file sharing even though MS Windows is a supported OS for the app itself. So for a lowest common denominator of file sharing, MS Windows files from SimpleMind shared with any other platform have to be on a third party file sharing service, even if you have a OneDrive storage account. Maybe if your OneDrive is integrated into and exposed in your file system explorer or Finder? When I had a little confusion on licensing and questions on functionality, the customer support staff responded quickly and very helpfully. The software dev company seems to know how to run a business, not just code. I think it’s worth the money if you need the pro version features.

Have spent hours and hours of trying many mind mapping apps and at last found SimpleMind! Has two qualities that make it the best in its Class .... a) SimpleMind has so many many useful features. b) They work! Pleasure to give it 5 Stars.

I use this app as an accompaniment to the desktop version and it has most of what I need for mobile use. Modifying templates and structures can be frustrating but it’s probably because I don’t do it often. There’s some additions/enhancements I’d like to see, however: —Add OneDrive as a storage location since many of us are on O365 home and enterprise. —Can we get a simple sort when viewing the map content in hierarchy view? I have a large map and manually alphabetizing the fields can be a real PITA. —Ability to rename custom templates (current it’s stuck at Copy of Pastel) —Enhance in-line documentation to clarify what options modify what, and at what level? Seeing a physical map as a legend with the option name (that I can print) would make it easier to know what I need to change to get my desired results.

One of the major issues I have with the app so far is the fact that when inserting images in a map, the limit for the full size image cannot be larger than 380 pixels. It looks fine while editing as the pictures take up less screen size, but when opening images to share them or such, it looks terrible. Please fix this so that I can more comfortably organize my work.

I gave 1 star for a reason. It is not doing what’s advertising and because of the limitation of the app. This is actually a bastardized copy cat of iThought. IThoughts is the deal for the money’s worth. It cost a little more, but it is well worth it.

The most versatile, intuitive, AND creates visually pleasing mind maps. I had stopped using it because it lacked Google Drive integration, and by chance decided to check the version history, and lo and behold, they had added Google Drive support a while ago! So now it's 5-stars for me. Finally I can collaborate on mind maps with other people via Google Drive.

When we edit the blob text, it keeps expanding horizontally. One must stop writing and then grab the little symbol in the lower right corner and drag it back to shape the blob. Very annoying. There is no tiny text note preview so you have to guess or recall what the text box has in it to decide if you want to read it. Annoying. Finally, I don’t see how we can take a map and make it into a visual organizational hierarchy- all we can get is a text outline in the inspector. Daaa. I’d like to use the map to show clear relationships in a hierarchy view and also the ability to show dependence as in organization charts or idea charts by selecting a button that organizes the view instead of having to spend several minutes physically rearranging all of the elements. Very time consuming. Gracias ustedes.

Simple and does what it says. Everything you need in a mind mapping software.

I utilize mind mapping for presentations for work among other things. Mind mapping allows me to speak naturally without being tied to notes or to an outline. Handwritten mind maps are limited by my limited drawing ability. With SimpleMind+, I am able to embed pictures, add diagrams, and many other things to enhance clarity and quality. I don’t know what I would do without the program. It gives me flexibility to craft, save, and share mind maps. Awesome program!

Believe it or not, this is a powerful composition tool! You can import whole documents, quotations, etc. You can then add new paragraphs, words or phrases. Then drag and drop to organize the document’s flow. Once you’ve got your document flowing well, you can export as text and then edit in your favorite word processor to create your finished product or rough draft. Amazing! Best digital tool for creating a cohesive, logical flow in a written document that I’ve discovered!

Love the functionality of the app. Constantly crashes and you lose the last 2 or 3 things you added which has to be redone. Just wish it would not crash.
