In my testing of MindNode 5 on my iPhone X, I found myself wishing I had more screen at my disposal.
Overall, the interface in MindNode 5 is a marked improvement, that being said, I’m not sure an iPhone provides enough screen real estate to make for effective mind mapping.
These are joined by a compact, floating pane in the top-left corner containing options to open the document browser, load sharing options, and show or hide panels. Replacing the previous version of MindNode’s fixed navigation bar and optional sidebar are a pair of adjustable panels: a main actions panel and an outline panel. While your mind map itself will look the same (outside of some theme tweaks), the assortment of tools at your disposal have been reorganized and presented in a much better format. MindNode 5 differs from its predecessor not just when selecting documents, but when viewing them too. I did this several times in my testing and each time it was a seamless transition between devices. iOS and macOS), so you can work on a mind map on your iPhone or iPad and then pick up again on your Mac. Additionally, MindNode stores your mind maps in iCloud which allows for easy access across platforms (e.g. MindNode 5 has adopted iOS 11’s document browser making it feel much more native and familiar when browsing through your mind maps.
I wanted to test the app as realistically as possible to see if it makes sense in my workflow. If you take a look at it, you will see that the mind map is essentially my review sans my commentary and analysis (which makes it boring, right?). I thought some of the improvements sounded interesting so I agreed to check it out.īelow you will see a screenshot of the mind map I created for myself for writing this review. Recently, the folks who created MindNode, a mind mapping app for iOS and macOS reached out to me asking if I’d review their brand new update, MindNode 5. I’ve tried mind mapping apps in the past but none of them really stuck with me. Normally, I create a mental outline in my head and just start writing, occasionally, I’ll create a written outline in my post editor and build on that. I’ll admit: when I sit down to write an article or a review, I don’t normally create a mind map.
