This is a very nice app. Besides the pleasant graphical output, it has a very nice UI that makes the use of this app a real pleasured. I have been using this app since its introduction and I frankly think that this is an excellent piece of software; I use to have a license for the “pro” version, that now does not work any more. The free version here is too limited and absolutely not competitive with open source alternatives - if not for the UI and the graphics.So why one star only? Are three euro a month too much for an app like this. No, but this is a “minor” app unless you are preparing mind maps all the day long. if you sum all the 3 euros for cloud services, minor apps you need, for this and for that, you end up paying a gigantic amount of money each year. I really can’t understand why I cannot purchase any more “full” versions of this minor apps.
Thanks for the feedback. I understand your point of view. Some of the reasons that led to our switch in the business model are that a subscription allows us to deliver updates to our users much more frequently. It also provides us with a stable roadmap for the future where we can continue to adopt new Apple technologies on time. In addition, it also makes pricing much more predictable for the customers. For example, with the monthly subscription, you only have to pay for Plus features at times when you really need them. In general you should be able to use the old version of MindNode as long as it is compartible with your opertaing system.
