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

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

Works great for editing freemind mm files on Android. Loving it. Had a problem syncing with Dropbox but the latest update fixed it.

Does a great job for quick hierarchical notetaking. Nice one!

Truly compatible with FreeMind albeit a bit slow and barebones.

A70%
by A####:

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.

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.

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

This may be a good note pad but there is no way I can make this app look like freemind

X70%
by X####:

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been searching for a app like this for so long - app that can show my freeplanefreemind mindmaps on android

L70%
by L####:

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)

X70%

Is a bit unpractical for viewing and editing large mind maps. The experimental tree displaying doesn't work well with large maps where some cells may overlap. Moreover, the cells do not scale to match the content, which is a major issue.

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.

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.

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!

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.
