XMIND for Mac offers easy-to-use templates and features for mapping ideas. With a basic but clean interface, the program allows for idea entry and plotting with numerous customizable templates to choose from.

The program's initial menu gives the user a number of template examples covering many categories, including projects, organizational charts, and timelines, among others. Once one is selected, XMIND for Mac brings up a basic set of text bubbles and lines connecting them. Users can easily click each one to change the inserted text, and click and drag them around the screen. A row of buttons along the top gives the user access to many options, with good descriptions given when you hover your mouse over one. Users can insert photographs, or even make audio notations, which are nice touches. Complete plots can be uploaded to the developer's Web site for sharing if desired. In a sizable left-column window, additional options for lines and text features are also available and easy to change. Although the overall look of the program appeared dated, with no advanced graphics or interesting color designs, that didn't have any impact on XMIND's functionality. We didn't have any problems and each of the options worked well during testing.

As a mapping application for ideas that saves time and enhances productivity, XMIND for Mac's useful options and functional presets make it a decent choice for those who need a visual way to map out ideas, projects, or plans.

The best mind-mapping software i've tested.
lindes--2008November 28, 2011
Pros
Clear and logical. Powerfull.
Cons
Maybe nothing for the moment.
Summary
Really professional results even in the free version

Pros
- Quick and reliable - Good graphics
Cons
- Almost nothing. There could be more templates in the future. Icon library is unchanged since some releases (as you can see I am complaining on high level ;-)
Summary
The best mind-mapping software that I tested so far. I used it for a number of professional projects. It is fast enough to use it in a meeting directly. Works perfect on PC and Mac
This is a solid product. It gets the job done.

Pros
Clean interface. You'll be able to map your ideas easily.
Cons
I can't think of any negative qualities. I liked this product.
Summary
One of the Best Mind Map programs around at any price!!
GlennWoApril 30, 2009
Pros
Fast, easy to learn, very Windows like but available on other platforms as well. Also does other diagrams such as fishbone, conept maps, org charts. It imports MindManager and FreeMind files and now (3.0.3) it also exports FreeMind files.
Cons
No built in export to PDF but I use PDFCreator which solved that problem.
Summary
If you do Mind Mapping or your thinking about starting, you should try XMind. It's Great!
Great Program!!!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I purchased Xmind in an earlier version and found it clunky and unstable. I also own Novamind Pro and Curio. I recently took another look at the software using the latest version. WOW!!! It's incredibly useful, stable and fast. I like it much more than NovaMind in terms of it's range of functions. It's the mindmapping program that I've been wanting and fills voids that Novamind has not. Hat's off to Xmind.
Close, So VERY VERY Close to Perfect!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I am a professional writer and I develop marketing concepts for a major international company and websites. I have been looking for a mind mapping tool that I like and I've demoed many of them. Most are very awkward to use or overly complex. This is the first one that I keep coming back to. It is simple, elegant and intuitive. I think you'll be successful with this product and I'd like to contribute some constructive feedback. But for the potential user/buyer reading this, I'd say you won't be disappointed. To my mind this is the best in category. My first comment is similar to that of another reviewer. I struggle to do what I want because the program is a bit too limited about where it lets me place things. For example, one of the things that I need to use this kind of program for is to design workflows. The relationships of one "topic" to another may involve arrows going all over the place. So, putting everything in the corners of the main topic or in a line from left to right just isn't "real world" enough for me. I need the flexibility to move things around without the program deciding where topics should go or being overly helpful by putting lines that associate topics when I move one topic near another. Frankly, I need to make those decisions and I don't have the time to undo what your program wants. Is there a way to turn off the "helpful" features and let me really make the design decisions on my own? This next comment is a bit of cultural feedback. I think the "Fishbone Chart" option is a very useful way to look at information, but can you get rid of the fish head and the fish tail? That is a bit too literal for the corporate environments I work in and I can just imagine the laughter I'd hear if I showed up with a PowerPoint slide with literal fish parts in it. Please don't be offended, but some Western cultures, a fish head is not an appealing thing. Sorry. Lastly, I am not an expert on pricing software, but I'm a little concerned about your two-tiered price structure and the fact that not all of the cool features are available on the lower end of the price scale. I know that you've invested a lot in developing this wonderful tool, and you deserve to get your reward, but my intuition is that you would be better off underselling the market a bit and generate adoring, loyal customers like I will potentially be. To put it bluntly, if I could have all the features at the lower tier price, I'd have bought the program already. I, like many Mac users, tend to be very loyal to the tools that honor how we like to work. I think this program can easily become the preferred standard for mind mapping and I hope you will have a long, prosperous run with this program.
Looks good, but export options pretty useless

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Trialled this for a week or so and actually really like. Great layout of maps, lot of very neat automatic options. A bit Windows-like in many ways but tolerable. What *really* lets it down are the export options. From pdf, to rtf and beyond, all pretty useless and ugly. Once this gets updated, this will really represent a serious alternative to NovaMind and MindManager.
Works Well

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I started using this app about a week ago and find it to be the best brainstorming app I've used. It is pricey, but it does work well. I used another app for numerous years and find XMind to be easier to use. It is quick and easy to brainstorm and it creates nice looking mind maps. The one drawback is that the version of RTF that this app exports to is not compatible with iWork 08. It can be opened by NeoOffice though. This needs to be a priority for resolution, especially for the regular price. The developer is quick to respond and seems to really want to make this the best brainstorming/mind mapping app for the Mac.
