It is done – the new MindMeister application for iPhone and iPod touch has finally arrived in the App Store! Those who’ve followed its progress know that it has been a rather slow birth, but nonetheless we’ve made it there in the end.
The new MindMeister iPhone application allows you to take your online mind maps with you wherever you go. Just sign in to your MindMeister account when you first start the app, browse and download your mind maps for local editing and let the application take care of synchronising them with the cloud.

MindMeister for iPhone + iPod touch is officially available in the App Store now for only $6.99 / €5.49. It works with any MindMeister account – even the free Basic one – and pretty much all iPhone / iPod touch versions (minimum OS 2.2.1).
Upgrading from MindMaker?
You might remember that the MindMeister iPhone app was developed from MindMaker, which we acquired from Ultravague a while ago (that’s also why the publisher in the App Store is not MindMeister but Ultravague). So if you’ve already been using MindMaker this upgrade is completely free for you!
When you start the new app the first time your existing mind maps will automatically be converted to the new format. Then, once you sign up for a MindMeister account (the Basic one will do – but feel free to go Premium straight away), all your local maps will be synched to the MindMeister server. This means online access and backup, import and export in many formats, easy sharing and collaboration, and much much more.

Robin Good, new media guru and avid publisher of some of the popular public maps on MindMeister, has just posted a new online guide about web-based mind mapping tools on his blog, www.masternewmedia.org. As all of Robin’s guides this is a very well-researched and thorough guide to all the mapping tools currently available on the web, detailing features as well as pro’s and con’s of each solution.
We’re glad to be part of the list and especially grateful that Robin and his team chose MindMeister for creating the accompanying mind map – here it is:
As mentioned above, Robin has done quite a few very popular online guides with MindMeister over the last couple of months – here’s a short list of his top 5 (ranked by popularity):
- Best Online Collaboration Tools
- Online Business and Monetization Models
- How To WIN CUSTOMER TRUST
- Visual Search Engines
- Best Free & Low-Cost Video-Conferencing Tools
