Mindly App Reviews

Unlike other Mind Mapping Tools, the interface for Mindly is uniquely designed to render mindmaps in a navigable format that can easily be used on a phone in portrait mode. There is no pinch and zoom. It happens automatically. If you use mind maps for knowledge bases, context digramming or idea mapping, this is how to carry your maps with you on your phone.

Lack of ability to easily synchonize with other Mind Mapping tools. The lack of a robust Desktop tool makes it difficult to use this in your ecosystem of mind map tools.

Create a synchonization tool or import tool for FreeMind format. It is a common format for Mind Maps and a simple one to sychronize. None of the other mind mapping tools work properly with phone layouts. They just want to create a pinch and zoom world. That is not the value add the Mindly provides.

Problem solving, concept mapping, knowledge base development, user story maps.

It is much easier to look at the collections of thoughts like planets circling a sun than in a flat linear journey

It is not easy to export or use in other programs

I use it when planning segments for my strategies and capturing ideas.

Mindly allows me to look at all the ideas in a single view and hide/view the supporting info as and when needed
