MindMeister also offers tutorial videos and training courses. The searchable MindMeister Help Center includes step-by-step how-to articles as well as answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. The apps were fairly well designed, but as mind maps got bigger, we found it more challenging to work on the smaller screens. MindMeister also offers a mobile-friendly version so that you can view projects as well as create, edit, or comment on mind maps when you’re away from a laptop/desktop. There is a learning curve as you get used to where MindMeister has placed certain things, but for the most part, we found it easy to get started with a template and add, edit, or remove items. MindMeister’s clean, modern interface is appealing, and the various toolbars make it easy for you to find the features you want to use.

It integrates well with MindMeister if you are interested in placing mind maps into your task and planning notes. Meister also puts out MeisterTask, which is a task management suite.

If you need to present your ideas, MindMeister has features that help you turn your mind maps into presentations similar to those you would create with Microsoft Powerpoint or Google Slides. The drag-and-drop editor allows you to work on your mind maps with ease, and you can upload custom items, such as background images and logos, for use with your projects. MindMeister allows you to create various types of mind maps, and the app includes templates to help you get started. You can see when the changes were made as well as who made the change. The History Mode included with MindMeister lets you see all of the changes that have been made to your mind map over time. They can comment and edit in real-time, which makes sure that everyone is on the same page. MindMeister features collaboration tools that allow you to share your mind maps with as many people as you'd like.
