The program is very intuitive, and it offers numerous templates to make organizing my thoughts even easier. I find that it helps me clarify my thoughts, which, if that alone were all it did, would still be worth it for me. The work product is very sharp as...

No drill down, no map from topic but most of all - No split boundaries within category levels, this is my most required feature for demonstrating hierarchies. Surely this can be acheived. Tech support were unhelpful when I tried to get information on this.

XMind is a great way to take notes, organize thoughts, and create presentations. It helps me think more clearly and creatively. Plus, it's super easy to use, even for beginners. Finally, it's affordable when compared to its competitors.

It is very difficult to arrange a large mind map in such a way that it isn't messy or confusing as to what links up where. The program won't also let me put things in an orderly fashion the way I wish to see them.
