Some Mac mind mapping software tools can be overloaded with features, making their interface seem overwhelming.

In contrast, working with online tools was a very different experience, which was expected since with most online tools, it takes a while to find your bearings. We loved the keyboard shortcuts in all three tools, they really speed things up. With MindManager, it took a little while longer to get our map going, whereas MindView and Novamind were more intuitive. Just like with any software, it takes a few tries to figure out the interface, and what is what, but after we built out a few branches of the mind map, we were up and running in all three tools. Since we are comfortable with other Mac OS software, these tools made us feel right at home. We found that all three Mac mind mapping software tools were fairly easy to work with because they all seem to share Mac OS best practices. First off, how easy is it to make a mind map, because let’s face it if you can't use the software easily than what’s the point, right?
