iMindMap 11 was release yesterday. Some of the new views are interesting (radial, “org chart” hierarchical). On macOS the app is extremely buggy, hangs, and uses an extraordinary amount of memory. All signs of software that might not have been properly tested before it went to market. On Windows 10 things run smoother. iMindMap has always been better on Windows, in my experience. The versions with all the features are very dear. Upgrades are costly, too. If you have a prior version, stay with it, in my opinion.

This has gotten to be par for the course with respect to major upgrades from iMindMap. In years past, I have always left the previous version on the computer until they work out all of the bugs. It may take months, so consider your current iMindMap 11 to be the one you use 3-4 months into a future iMindMap 12. I had hoped that this newest update would have been more bulletproof; it seemed to be released months after the initial publicity went out.

Unfortunately, on Mac OS iMindMap 10 (the previous release) frequently stops working and needs to be reinstalled (some incompatibility due to the progression of Apple Mac OS updates - High Sierra).
So ... how much worse could v11 be?
Also, to give credit to the developer, they usually have a rapid cadence of fixes after each release, and the built-in update functionality works well.
Agreed on steep update prices (for Ultimate in my case).

Didn’t Mindjet’s mindmap used to be called Mind Manager? Is iMindMap just a rebranding or is it a different product?

Mind Manager was deveolped by Mindjet (now part of Corel).
iMindmap is the “official” mindmapping software, Tony Buzan was involved in creating the software.
