Features
- Add, delete and edit nodes
- Supports text, long text, notes, images, links, font color and background color.
- View as mindmap or lists

Limitations
- Currently not possible to edit long texts and notes

Nice app! I want to give more stars but I just cant. It does open freemind maps, does what it says and is a good start. But it needs more to become a useful tool. First, performance is not "release level". It is very slow, even on a fast device. Even a tiny mindmap is slow to navigate, the software is just slow. If you open a larger (actual) mindmap, it quickly becomes even more unusable. Secondly, usability is on sketch / POC level. It is supercumbersome to just navigate (navigation is not responsive, related to perf issues no doubt), selecting nodes is awkward (long press forever just to select) and editing becomes a chore. Please take a look at simplemind for inspiration, that UI is really good (but simplemind is cannot be part of freemind toolchain, so that is out too...). I would love for this little app to take a leap and become more qualitative, but intil then it is a nice but not really usable idea. Great job on starting a super-interesting project! Holding my thumbs! BR! /freemind-freeplane-lover

It works fine Truly compatible with FreeMind albeit a bit slow and barebones.

Could not create new map after install On a clean install, app failed to create a new map. Tried multiple times. Error message simply reports failure and doesn't say why, so troubleshooting basically impossible. Ads generated serious performance lags on phone. This app may have worked well for others, but it is not for me.

Ylamaki May 12, 2016

Thank you for reporting the issue. It turned out to be another Android 6.0 bug. A fixed version has been published and should be available within hours.

Daniel Kim December 19, 2015

Freemind is an important cross-platform tool that I depend on heavily. I was excited to see this app offered for Android, and it is able to load and display a Freemind . mm file. Unfortunately, the editing tools are very clumsy, and the text list display mode is really not usable. I have high hopes for this project, and I hope to see improvements in the future. This is, as far as I can tell, the only Android app that will load and save a native .mm file! I would suggest that the creator look at "Pocket Freemind' for the PocketPC/Windows Mobile platform. I used this a lot on my iPAQ and found it to be extremely useful. That would be the interface and functionality to aim for.

Dennis Mabrey December 16, 2015

Good app for reading FreeMind maps. Only 3 complaints: 1. Formatting doesn't show up in MindMap mode (like background colors). Not a big deal. 2. MindMaps mode expands all nodes by default. Closing them is very slow and no way to close them all. 3. Large MindMaps tend to have nodes overlap. Would not be a big problem if #2 problem didn't expand them all by default

Error creating file Unable to use as I get error message when I attempt to create new file. This looks like a potentially good app; hope problem gets resolved. Nexus 5

Ylamaki May 10, 2016

Thank you for your feedback. A new version has just been released which corrects a problem with opening/saving files on Android 6.0. Hopefully this solves your problem.

Victoria McKoy Griffin December 24, 2015

This badly needs settings to remember the view mode, capability to edit, and cloud sync for Drive, Dropbox, and Box. I would gladly pay for those features in a Freemind app.

Ivan Melnichuk January 26, 2016

Terrible UI!

Andrew Wong October 13, 2015

Great Work in Progress

guinnes singh April 13, 2015

awesome! no other app gives a list view. i really like this feature for my to-do lists and want to use it forever. 5 stars.

A Popov April 19, 2015

Many Freemind features not working - but fixed following my feedback I use Freemind extensively and many features of .mm files are not working in Zmind. You cannot move images so only part of the image is seen on screen; often you cannot see text, no hyperlinks working, etc. It is a great idea to have such programme and I hope the author will improve it; I would be happy to supply full set of features and examples what needs improvement. PS. Thank you author! After my negative feedback and very effective communication with the author many features were fixed.

Ylamaki January 29, 2015

Thank you for your feedback. Examples / screen shots where your mind map is not displayed properly would be very much appreciated. The same goes for missing features that you would like to see in future releases. Email to android@ylamaki.com or get in touch through www.facebook.com/zmindapp

Mind mapping on the android still has many problems. Node text not visible. Impossible to use this app with Freemind or Freeplane.

Miroslav Makarov January 29, 2015

Poor Synchronization I lost all data in my mind map because synchronization with drop box stopped working. It should be showing some kind of confirmation that the mind map was uploaded /saved. RE: It is not possible to restore that way, it was not even saved in Dropbox for a month, it was probably just in some temporary memory of your app.

Ylamaki January 29, 2015

Sorry to hear about your problem. Data integrity is of highest importance and we will investigate if there is a way to detect sync. problems. Drop box keep track of all changes to a file and it is possible to recover the last version that was properly synchronized, see https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/11 Hopefully that could help you in this case.

Kristjan Vilgo December 18, 2014

Searched this app for a long time I have been searching for a app like this for so long - app that can show my freeplane\freemind mindmaps on android

Bedazzle Bedazzle October 23, 2014

nice work, but I can select and edit only nodes, not the texts. And when in mm mode when clicking on the node blue selection box appears on wrong position (maybe because I'm on the phone, not the tablet)

Ylamaki October 28, 2014

Thank you for reporting the issue, mindmap mode should work in both phones and tablets. Will look into it.

Syviren July 24, 2014

Love this app!!! I love using this. Very very handy. I even donated I love this app so much :D My only wish is that editing and adding nodes worked. I've tried loading it from Dropbox and from the hard drive on my tablet but it doesn't work. Please fix and I'll love you forever!!! I have a nexus 7 2013, and I am currently running 4.4.4

Brent Henrikson August 8, 2014

Freemind Forever I love Freemind and am stoked to have a way to view my mind maps on my phone. If this app allowed editing of mm's from Google Drive it would be 5 stars all the way.

Hossana Twinomurinzi May 26, 2014

Really helpful I work with Freemind to extrapolate my mind - hence this tool was perfect to view what am doing. I'll give a 5 when able to make changes when viewing from Google Drive.

Aakash Sharma April 9, 2014

Ability to follow "links" missing! I don't know what happened to the links(internet or locale) that some nodes points to? It should have that capability too, i guess!

Niels Saavedra April 20, 2014

Very useful It is very very useful!

Johan Piper March 20, 2014

Not really a mindmap I can appreciate that you can at least browse your FreeMind mindmap (without HTML links) on your phone. However the large in-app ads really put me off. It's gone; I've got a better mindmap in my head.

Tobias Mueller February 26, 2014

Does what it is supposed to Tested with mindmaps originating from Freemind V1.0

Paul Kinnane February 24, 2014

Perfect Does what it says on the tin

Pang Henry February 4, 2014

Good job

Pan Talon November 25, 2013

Works Expected to expand not open new window every click. I hate in app ads and app itself isn't worth a purchase - yet. Will uninstall after finding anything to handle Freemind files properly after Mindjet destroyed once - glorious Thinking Space app.

Andrew Fearby November 4, 2013

Awesome! Great for looking at mm on phone, so easy. If it could search and edit the file.. it would be perfect!

Flotsam Jetsam April 3, 2013

Simple but powerful This tool seems like the missing link for the freemind software. Once you've created the mindmap, it seems like a breath of fresh air to read it in a list/hierarchical view. Easily one-click up and down the list structure. What looked overwhelming now looks easy. Nice!! Tip: to use this tool effectively, first download a file manager or other search tool that allows you to search for your file your downloaded--via E-mail, USB, etc to your local storage or SD card. Once found, click the file to open your mindmap. (my problem was with the mail client not recognizing the *.mm extention.

Khelang Tux Vegan March 27, 2013

Am I missing the point? I have installed this on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab (1st Gen) and I all get is the right hand 'App Screenshot', not the 'List' view as on the left and of course the add at the bottom. Excuse my ignorance, but how do I import files? There's no help whatsoever.

Mike Keagle August 6, 2013

Did not work Did not work on sam. Tab7. I only get about screen

Aaron Reabow June 19, 2013

Just awesome How did I not think of this myself :)

Daniel Jue January 5, 2013

Developer is very responsive Fix a bug really quickly! Now works with files containing HTML

G Acs August 15, 2016

Has potential This is actually an outliner app with the option to view outline as mind map. You can't really directly create a mind map.

Paul Cook April 22, 2016

Not a Mind Mapping Tool This may be a good note pad but there is no way I can make this app look like freemind

Keng Chew Soo March 29, 2013

internet access why does this app need internet access?

Paul Moran December 30, 2013

Very basic

What's New

* Improved Unicode support for better Freemind compatibility.
