Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me, Franz. Somewhere on the net I saw reference to Mindjet when I searched for iMindMap and made an assumption. Thanks, again.

As an avid iMindMap 10 Mac OS user (Ultimate) I optimistically downloaded the version 11 trial before opting in for the hefty upgrade—here are my findings so far.
On the up-side the new features are very impressive, and in my opinion worth the upgrade.
On the down-side the software on Mac OS is at times rather bloated and quite resource hungry but I wouldn’t say anymore than the previous version. Personally I haven’t experienced issues requiring a complete re-install, as mentioned by other Mac OS users, but I can only vouch for the last 12 months.
That said I have come across one rather serious issue worth mentioning for other Mac OS users.
After a short time of basic usage iMindMap 11 hogs the cpu and effectively becomes unresponsive. After some testing this issue was reproduced and seems to have a relation or conflict with applications that require specific system access to function properly like the productivity app Magnet.
These apps are found in the list under:
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility.
With no apps selected this issue does not occur, however disabling one productivity app to use another kind of defeats the purpose!
NOTE: I have contacted iMindMap support and they seem to be aware of this issue and claim to be working on a fix.
To summarise:
In terms of general stability and system performance, for Mac OS, I would say that v11 seems to be on par with v10. Although to be fair a few days is not nearly enough testing so this is purely my personal opinion based on very average and rather limited usage so far.
In terms of feature set I am very impressed and would even go so far as to say—worth the hefty upgrade—granted of-course that they fix serious bugs as mentioned above.
