At school right now we are being forced to use platforms the district already bought and they are clunky and do not have comparable features. It's taking me weeks to learn and wasting the time I need to plan out the actual lessons and develop materials. Pros I already love concept mapping and I was looking for a computer tool that was reasonable and easy to use to help me conceptualize organizing my curriculum, particularly to start to adapt to NYS adopting the NGSS and to make the content more engaging now that we are educating online because of COVID. This was so easy to learn to use, and the help and opening tutorial were super straightforward. Will probably end up paying fro this for sometime to see more features and continue to use it as a planning tool and to generate study guide for students. Cons Not sure if I can change to a different type of map when I've already started the map and Don't want to begin again from scratch, figuring it out. Reason for choosing MindMeister Price, and features were better and platform was clearer on mind meister. Review Source Response from Meister February 20, 2021 Hi Christina, thank you for your review. Regarding the point you mentioned in "Cons" - you are indeed able to change the map theme, select to override changes and if you do not like the new map style, you can click the Undo button and return back in the next step. As for changing the map layout, this can be changed anytime as well. Your MeisterTeam Cristian M. Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simply, one of the best apps for mindmapping out there." February 16, 2022 4.0 Simply great. I does what is stated and is a no brainer to use and deploy. Works well with teams. Pros The app has a great UX. Actually now is deploying new ways to accomplish what is stated. For my point of view, is one of the best apps for mindmapping and is a nice tool to have. The iOS app work great too. Cons I miss a few integrations with other app i use. In MS 365 Teams works awesome, but i will love to have the tool in other places as well. Overall i do not have any complaints so far. Review Source Response from Meister February 24, 2022 Hi Cristian, thanks for your review! :D Happy to hear you're enjoying the new UX in MindMeister!

Estudante Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Organização prática e intuitiva." April 13, 2023 5.0 Normalmente, funciona, enquanto estou conectado à internet em casaou na faculdade. Pros O design é intuitivo e ajuda melhor a aproduzir e oraganizar mapas mentais, como é o meu caso, até agora, que só experimentei fazer mapas mentais. Cons Poderia ter uma ferramenta gratuita de exportação de dados para PDF, mas esta é apenas a minha impressão. Review Source SD Stênio D.

Front Desk Assistant Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Helped me sort my brain's information overflow." September 3, 2021 5.0 Imagine you think like a computer, so organizing tasking into the base components and carrying them out is a great way to work, but what happens when your brain doesn't have multithreading capabilities and limited RAM? You start to lose things. Tasks, ideas, goals can get lost in the shuffle. With a well put together mind map you can keep running your brain the way it works while keeping organized track of all of your different projects on your mind map! It's truly fantastic. I recently used the service to map what I do in my current role at my job and it allowed me to feel confident in all of the places I have knowledge that I would have otherwise not remembered on the spot while writing my resume, cover letters, or even talking about myself. A wonderful way to keep your thoughts in order, and if you keep your maps to a specific goal, you can keep unwanted information from filling up your limited thought space! Pros The ability to really pour out the tiniest detail of your brain / task into a coherent way. Cons If you get expansive with your ideas, it can be hard to see with the limited font sizes and whatnot, but with a simple click and scroll wheel you can fix that problem... Review Source Response from Meister September 20, 2021 Dear Brennan, thank you so much for reaching out and taking the time to write such an extensive review! We're thrilled to hear that MindMeister has been such a useful tool for bringing organization to your thoughts! I feel the same way... visualizing my responsibilities via interconnected nodes is a great way to make my work and personal life manageable. We'd love to hear more from you and learn how you use MindMeister... Feel free to reach out to us on Twitter at @MindMeister. And be sure to check out the Meister Academy at training.mindmeister.com.

It works for just about everything!!! Pros I like the cost (I stay basice) and the interface is intuitive. I like being able to drag items to different parts of the map and to interconnect maps!!! Cons The free version limits the maps I can make, but paying will solve this. Review Source RD Rafael D. Gerente Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "MindMeister" June 2, 2023 5.0 Pros um dos melhores produtos para se criar mapa mental, completo Cons na parte de mapa mental que tenho uso, nada a reclamar Review Source Luciano C. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Não existe suporte" November 6, 2023 3.0 Usei inicialmente, e cheguei a assinar a versão PRO. Porém não utilizei mais pois haviam alternativas mais completas. Pros É prático para criar "balões", e a estrutura de um mapa mental ou hierarquia, apesar de pouco configurável. Cons Não possui suporte fiável. Fui cobrado após cancelar a conta pro, e há mais de 20 dias que não tenho resposta. Quem atende diz não ter responsabilidade sobre cobranças. Passei a utilizar outras ferramentas como o Miro ou Notion. Review Source Ron Elius S. Freelance B2B Copywriter for the Food & Beverage Companies Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for new Ideas road mapping" July 22, 2019 5.0 Outstanding. Pros Collaboration is an essential part of our Organization and to make sure our Ideas is properly well mapped, Mindmeister is there to help us. Gone are the ugly drawings on the whiteboard that draws unfocused and divided attention of people, now is the time where beautiful and easy mind mapping tool that draws inspiration and sparks collaborative work towards accomplishing the Organization’s goal. Design is always on-point and it communicates clearly what needs to be done strategically. Cons Of course, not all tool is perfect, it has all its own cons but as far as I can tell from my experience, I’m a satisfied user of this tool. Review Source RA Rahul A. Founder & CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The most useful tool for all my strategies & planning" March 30, 2021 5.0 Pros Often when we are working on some projects, business ideas or anything that requires planning, we always look out for some tool to organize and arrange our raw ideas. There are many tools available but the mindmaps by MindMeister seems to be the perfect fit. The concept of mindmaps with connections make the task easy and effective. It saves me a lot of time. Cons A few of my colleagues use mind node on mac and they say that the UI is better with a little more features. So, I expect MindMeister to include a little more features like connection customization and a little improvement in UI just like in MilaNote. Review Source Raghunandan J. Ceo Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome tool" January 15, 2020 5.0 It's been a great tool I own licence for xmind as well as mindmiester Xmind is more powerful But the abilities ond an online mind mapping tool are much better for xolloboration Pros The ease of use Brainstorming Presentation Cons Rigidity ...

Laboratory Director Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for small business" December 3, 2019 5.0 I use this to be able to create very nonlinear "big picture" summaries, and then I create other functional maps and tasks when its time to drill down into the details. I like how its very nonlinear and very fluid. Its easy to move things around and edit them. I first used MindMeister back in 2007. Its still a great product. Pros I like mind mapping and I like the design, form and feel to MindMeister. Its great that it now has task list functionality as well. Its fast and easy. Cons It could use a Gantt chart, as that's the only thing other people in my company need/want. Review Source Dias T. CVO Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mind mapping" March 13, 2023 4.0 Pros User-friendly interface, integrations, conversion options. Cons 1) There is no presentation mode so far.2) Just 3 mind maps in free version. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Over 4 years of use" January 23, 2020 5.0 Pros The versatility and creativity and style options are what keep me coming back. I can outline books, storylines, blog posts, brainstorm content, prepare character outlines. It's truly enjoyable to use the program. Cons I dislike that I do not have other format choices for exporting on the basic plan. I would like the option to export a mind map in 1 format of my choosing versus being restricted to the format type. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent, but...." June 12, 2020 5.0 I love to use it, it changed the way I organize my life and it made me 10 times more efficient. Pros The software and its mobile it are great. Features are good and works smoothly. But... the price is outrageous. It's impossible to keep paying the entire life for a program like this. You guys should offer one time buy plan, that would unlimited use of it. I would totally buy it even if its a little expensive, because its the best of its kind. But I cannot afford to pay for it every year of my life time. No way. Cons Need to have a one time buy plan. No way to keep paying every year for this kind of product. Reason for choosing MindMeister same as above Review Source Melih E.

Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An invaluable tool" April 9, 2021 5.0 Pros Great interface, easy to use, instant synchronization. Cons I use it as todo/note organizer, grouping them by subject and specific to my usage I would have liked to have metadata that can be attached to items (date, priority, ...) and then having the possibility of sorting items on the same level by that metadata. Review Source ML Maggie L. Online Educator E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Finally: A digital, visual, FUN way to effectively organize and boost productivity" February 21, 2020 5.0 I'm a visual learner with lots of ideas, to-dos, distractions, and good intentions. On my own, I've tried writing lists, making my own digital map, using phone productivity apps, using tons of post-it notes, etc. to organize my jobs, projects, and seemingly endless daily tasks. I slowly admitted my own frustrations with not being able to effectively organize what I needed to do. Using MindMeister is the first time I actually see all of what I need to do in front of me, and it's color coded, neat, effective, and it oddly inspires me to work more. I'm a big fan of the templates and customization options. I use the Eisenhower Matrix template and I'm pleasantly surprised that it's actually improving my time management issues. Pros Free "Basic" plan is great for what I need now; Educator discount is available for if/when I choose to upgrade; free themes with many options for customization (I love color-coding); ability to merge MindMeister with MeisterTasks; Templates with tips on how to use them; Image generator based on Map title; Very user-friendly Cons The "Use" and "Preview" Template buttons are a little too close together. More than 3 font sizes would be nice.

It offload the problems and keeps mind free Cons Size of the software- if the size of the software can be reduced Review Source BH BANU H. Head of Language department Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Master of the Mind" March 11, 2020 5.0 Great help. At the time of my total confusion, it gave me a great hand to organize me and save time and energy. Pros It helped me organize everything, my work, my class, my presentation, events, and it is very practical, easy to use (user friendly) Cons I would like to download word format in personal version once or twice so that I can be sure to upgrade or not. Review Source JS Janet S. business owner E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helps me be creative" January 14, 2020 5.0 I design my own courses, and I use Mindmeister to help me outline and think through my course organization. At first I was not sure that it was worth the money. Because it was almost time for renewal, I decided to begin a new project and outline it by hand. WIthin a day I realized that Mindmeister was definitely something that helped a lot. Not only can I move ideas around very easily, but I can also see my projects differently simply due to the ability to color similar ideas with the same color, and connect them to each other. Being able to move a chain of ideas without having to erase and start over was huge too. I realized that Mindmeister had been making a huge difference. Pros I like the visual aspect of creating an organized plan. Cons I would liked to have an actual list of different short tutorials.
