Here is a breakdown of what could be improved for those who are in need to mind map on the go:

Pop up menu is incomplete compared to MindManager and iMindMap from Buzan
- Formatting (bold, underline,...)
- possibility to adjust the shapes, etc
- Adding relationship,etc

The inspector needs to be open each time in order to this.

Can't drag pictures from other apps they must be saved first which makes one waste time.

Balancing the map automatically makes it worst if it's too big so I found myself having to do it manually. So my guess is that the application has difficulty in handling large maps.

In regards to large Maps: the app does not seem to be able to create child maps like in Buzan and MindManager only children within the current map e.g. making a branch become a Map on its own with a link on the current map to attach it.

Text box opens right before the application and impossibility to keep an eye on the Map whilst reading. E.g. MindManager offers the notes window either separately, attached (left or right) or under the map...

Other important issues:

- Boundaries_ Null
- floating images_Null
- No tables can be added within the Map_Null
- internet searches for images_Null

My thoughts about this program after having just installed it:

• It drops 144 MB on your hard drive using the package installer method (not drag-and-drop). All but 18 MB is dumped into /Users/Shared.

• How am I going to get all of this wonderfulness to fit on the screen of my laptop?

Considering the pricing of My Thoughts alone the app is too expensive. As of this post there have only been 3,217 downloads. Compare that to the sheer number of downloads of some of the lesser priced and seriously competitive products where the downloads are approaching 30,000!

I used mindmanager since years and downloaded mythoughts and was immediately impressed by the design - the features are great - so I immediately bought it and then ... with the first "small map" i realised mythoughts is terribly slow - when i type a text it lasts seconds to see it appear ... now i hope this is a bug, I cant beliefe this is it - this makes the software unuseable for me and I have a new mac book pro so I am looking forward to hear other users opinions and hints.
and maybe for a speedy update!

and 3 feature requests:
- branch thickness and
- autoadjust for branches.

some more precise info for you:
the problem is mainly if i write something - eg. a note: it lasts up to 10 seconds until a letter i typed appears
it lasts 5 seconds until a new branch appears
that way the software it not useable although its features are realy wonderful - the icons great - integration of iphoto etc great
so please help fast
thank you

Hi Yvonne

Would you be so kind to confirm whether you have received my reply to your support email? My reply to you explained that this was an unusual issue and I believe the download may possibly have been corrupted. I therefore suggest uninstalling and reinstalling from the download at http://www.mythoughtsformac.com/download.php?file=4

Can you please email me at support to confirm if this resolves the issue.

Kind regards

I have to admit that I wasn't much of a mind mapper before I bought this software. I have worked with several people who were dedicated mind mappers but I couldn't quite get into it. Nevertheless, when I came across MyThoughts, I thought I would give it a try since it seemed to have very good features at a very reasonable price. I have to say that this has been one of the best Mac apps I have bought. It's very easy to use, has a good set of features and has been very stable. I quickly found it to be an ideal tool for organising my thoughts and, after starting small, progressed to building some quite complex mind maps. I'm now a total convert and I would be lost without it. I've found it invaluable in mapping out ideas in both my business and home life. Thanks for a great piece of software, I am eagerly anticipating the iPad version. Keep up the great work.

An iPad version would be really cool, especially if it's as functional as MyThoughts on my iMac.

I will be buying it for sure.

I have just done my first mind map with the the new update. So, thought I'd update my review here.

Nice one guys, some nice additions. I was hoping for the ability to change the branch thickness, will this be something for later?

The new floating text box is useful, but my favorite new thing is the different branch options.

I am looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Feature request: Branch thickness control
