As many of you may have already noticed, there were a few hiccups with the release of our iPhone application update last week. Thankfully, we managed to locate the source of the problem and promptly shut off the application in the app store.
While we ran a number of tests here on our end, it seems as though no one in the office thought to check the most basic of features: empty your local account and start with a new map. D’oh! To that we say – our bad.
Those of you already using our iPhone application have spoken volumes about what you like, what you don’t like, and everything in between. One of the most common requested features was the ability to open and close branches within mind maps. In the new update, users now have the ability to toggle branches, thereby making it much easier to read large maps on a smaller screen. Likewise, many MindMeister iPhone app users requested the ability to add notes via a double click feature. A tap-tap gesture anywhere on the canvas now brings up the notes feature, allowing you to clarify, illustrate, or emphasize any points within your mind map. More features – above all editing of colors, nodes and styles on the device – are coming soon.
As a special thank you to those of you that were chomping at the bit to get your hands on our shiny new update, only to have it abruptly taken away, for a limited time only, we’re offering a special price reduction. Originally priced at €5.49 / $6.99, the MindMeister application for iPhone is now available in the app store for €3.99 / $4.99 until October 10th.
As a post script, we’d also like to send out a hearty thanks to the Apple iPhone application review team, for their understanding and speedy turn around in getting our update out to the world.
Hi, I was wondering if there is a difference in using de free version and de premium version, when using you App? b.e. is it possible to see attachedfiles etc?
Oh yeah btw…using Mindmeister on the iPhone was one of my main reasons for buying the iPhone.. I love it to empty my minds at any time any minute! nice job!
When are you going to fix the iPhone app? It was one of the reasons I bought MindMeister over the others but as I dig into reviews for the app, there is no way I’m going to risk it. Was surprised that there’s been no activity reported on the blog about it since October. There are a large number of negative reviews on the app store as recently as January. Based on those threads, I’d be surprised if you’re selling any right now. Really hope you can relaunch with some fixes soon.
