Mind Node vs Notetaking Express

Essential productivity app MindNode has been my spatial planning tool of choice since Version 4. Now V6 has been released with some important updates, at no charge for recent V5 purchasers. One feature that I specifically requested is being able to edit multiple items on iPad like the Mac OS app. Thank you for listening and adding this feature. Of course I appreciate the free update; I’m also good with purchasing major upgrades when the time comes. Just keep doing what you do best. Here are a few quick comments about the product. It has been rock solid with a very uncluttered UI. Import / export modes simplify moving data between apps and quickly creating a complex mind map in MindNode. Theme chooser and outline view work great and stay out of the way until needed. Kudos Update: This is still an excellent app. There are a few features that would make it even better. First, the ability to copy and paste object styles. Second, the ability to assign horizontal and vertical layouts per level; I would like an org chart layout that is horizontal at the top and vertical below each branch for example.

Life Changing I have a way of doing things but this has introduced me to a new way of spatial mind mapping. I absolutely how clean the UI is and how I can add notes inside of nodes. Since I started school this is the only way I can take notes and clearly organize everything. I advise anybody wanting to try something new, to use this app and give it 100% effort. I will add just a few “personal” things I hope they add, these are just my own opinion and reflect no negativity to the app: More in depth note section and better way to add bullet points. MOREEEEE COLORS If the connections could “flow” better instead of some kind of boomerang looking line. Again this is just my personally opinion, this app is amazing and I know new users will love it! Keep up the amazing job!

I have been using this program since it was first introduced. Until now I have used it for every condition where I needed to relate unrelated things. As promised, I am rewriting my review since the app support people discovered that my problems are not caused by this app. I had begun using iCloud with all my MindNode documents. One document, in particular, I updated daily and frequently updated from different devices. My problem occurred because iCloud did not handle my more complex documents property. Worse than wrecking my document, iCloud is set up to delete any documents that iCloud does not control. So if I turn off iCloud from holding and updating my MindNode documents I cannot recover them to my local device (iPad or iPhone). There are tricks I could play to keep or recover a single document, but I have over 30 MindNode documents so that is impractical. The MindNode support staff were extremely helpful and emailed me with questions until they narrowed the problem to iCloud. From there they had no suggestions except to not keep my documents in the cloud. I will continue to use MindNode if or when I can get my documents back, but I won’t create new documents or update existing ones until iCloud is out of the picture. Solved my iCloud issue by emailing my MindNode documents to myself. Then turned iCloud off.

So I was assigned to this app by college for my accommodations for my learning disability purpose I was using and I record one of my lectures and kicked me out and try to log back in and I’m typing back my school email and my password and I reset it but it still gives me the same message that my password and my email address that I entered are incorrect and I couldn’t continue recording my class lecture since I got kicked out from my account and it doesn’t let me log back in. And my lecture that I recorded is in their The honest truth this app need a lot of improvement and a lot of bug fixes made into this app

I’ve been using this app for a while now through my colleges accommodations. The interface is very easy to use and the team is amazing at getting notes to you in a timely manner. The notes are always thorough and delivered in the time period given: almost always earlier actually. My one qualm is that sometimes I’ll hit start recording and it’ll start but when I pick up my phone at the end of class it’s no longer recording. Unsure if that’s on their end or my phones end. But other than that the app has been great and I recommend it to colleges looking for something like this.

“The ease of using your service was appreciated. I highly recommend your service for other students, like myself, who struggle to keep up with note taking while there are several people cross-talking. I have a brain injury that affects my ability to focus on one speaker's words, once someone else starts speaking. I lose entire phrases while I'm taking notes when someone else asks a question or interrupts a lecture. Your service has enabled me to get the notes of only what the lecturer is saying. It helps me to not be so overwhelmed. Thank you.”
