Instead of stopping updates for the previous version, they disabled creating new maps. Since mind mapping formats can’t simply be moved between apps like a .doc or .xls file can, you’re forced to start all over any time they release a new version.

This version doesn’t scale to iPad and has a less clean interface for it. Would have paid for the original, won’t for this one. Super disappointed - hoped I could use the original fully by paying for it but I guess I would have had to do that sooner.

First off, the original Mindly was a free app with a beautiful design, simple and intuitive functionality, and will be missed. I was using it until today when I realized functionality had been removed with the release of Mindly 2 and I couldn’t create any new maps.I downloaded Mindly 2 to give it a try but it’s entirely behind a paywall. I’m not averse to paying for superior apps and services, but not at 4 dollars a month or 25 dollars for a year to access a mind mapping app. Be more realistic about your pricing and consider a reasonable lifetime subscription offer. Honestly, I’d probably pay the 25 for a lifetime subscription. Otherwise, I’m settling for less impressive apps at realistic prices.

Their original app was just fine. Now they have this new supposedly-an-upgrade app, but it’s all behind a paywall - not even a free trial to see what’s what. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just the original app slapped with a subscription fee.This is awful. I had been using the original one to hold memories - childhood memories, friends, networks, things I’m worried I’ll forget and wanted to jot down in a mindscape-style format. The original app was so nice for that. But I’m going to have to move all of my work somewhere else now, because after years of perfectly-fine-awesome app, suddenly they brick the old one just to make you pay for what is almost certainly just the same thing.
