FreeMind Reviews

I love this piece of software ! Use it frequently.

I use FreeMind on a daily basis, and must say that I'm impressed with it's value. Basic use is very pleasant and intuitive, more advanced features are at your disposal when you look for them. The stability of this software is impressive - next to rock solid. I warmly recommend FreeMind to any and all who likes to unload thoughts, organize related information on varying abstraction levels, write freely; constantly changing subject, gather and organize knowledge and more.

I've known about mind-mapping for a long time, but it is only recently that I decided to start using it seriously to organise my ideas. So far, I have only been playing with it; using it for projects that are not important, but I am starting to discover its power. One feature that I particularly like is the ability to incorporate executable links in the labels; I tend to collect a large number of links to web sites when doing my research, and this looks like it could provide a good way of organising them logically. Features gets a just OK rating because it only recognises Microsoft programmes. Only a minority of people use internet explorer any more; it would be nice to allow one to import from other browsers directly. But it's free, so this is just a minor complaint.

FreeMind is wonderful! I have been using it for years and I find it very useful. Thank you!

очень полезная программа

Easy install and nicely intuitive for building large disparate sets of actions for addition, changes, deletions and updates. Very nicely orchestrated for attribute management too.

I started using Freemind long back in 2009. I had amazing experience everytime I want to speak out the idea on my mind.

Very useful software! I've been using freemind almost every day since a couple of years.

By me, one of the best free mindmap application. It has all things I need and is very intuitive use.

I had Freemind a number of years ago, I had the disc as well, got it off ebay in about 2008. But I gave it to my team leader so she could learn how to use it. So I have only just started using it again. I have to say I am happy with it as free software it works well and I can get on with it. I am sorry I gave that disc away now, I am at uni and it comes in very handy for note taking on lectures and other media. I find it so easy to use which is good for me.

I've been using FreeMind for several years on Windows and Mac. It continues to add enhancements and is indispensable to me when planning any major undertaking

Good thing there are some documentation because this is my first time using a mindmapping software. Finally replacing pen and paper, so i still need to get used to it, overall its pretty easy to follow and use if you just have patience

FreeMind is an excellent open-source mind map. I've been using it for years to manage my research and writing projects.

Excellent program. Easy to understand and use.

Very easy to use, arranges things very well. Can be a bit glitchy.

Thanks for FreeMind, it's perfect!

This program is now an indispensable part of how I organise myself. Its fairly intuitive and powerful.

This is the software that I measure any other mind mapping software by. So far everything else comes up short. I would like to see flexible icons selection and free bubble arrangement. Those are very minor issues that no one else has anyway.

A perfectly ergonomic tool for quick notes taking and organisation. My most use is during meetings or presentations i'm spectating to. As classic mindmap use, you could also write down within a few minutes all aspects of a theme you (and your team if any) have in mind. For new users, I recommand to learn keyboard commands as it will saves you a huge amount of time. I gladly thank developpers of Freemind for a such simple an yet powerful tool and prefer freemind rather than freeplane for the ergonomic part (even if freeplane renders prettier presentations).

This is great software, I have been using it intensively for at least a couple of years now. The quality of the application is way beyond the average OSS/free apps, FreeMind works really stable and well. I have been selected this over commercial apps because this works the same on all major platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows) so if you learn it and than later switch to an other platform, you don't need to look for an alternative, you just move your mindmaps and thats it. You can do time estimation with it as well (google the sum scripts for freemind) after you have installed the appropriate groovy macro.

Best mind mapping software on the market!

Love this program, would donate but can't find donate option anywhere.

perfect job!Make my life easier .Thank you !

Excellent tool and a mainstay on my computers for a long time! May not have all the bells and whistles of commercial offerings, but it does what I need in a fast, efficient, and portable manner.

Great tool and great project. Thank you Christian and the development team!
