I’m in the middle of a WriteMapper 2 trial. So far, I like its UI and the features it offers.
However, it faces competition from established rivals such as MindNode and iThoughts whose macOS editions cost much the same as WriteMapper, but which also offer useful iOS versions.
From my usage to this point, it’s quite difficult to see what valuable-for-writing features it offers that they do not.

Writemapper seems to handle large blocks of text much better than typical mindmapping apps, making it better for writing in and later exporting to a word/text processor.

Setting WriteMapper apart from MindNode and iThoughts: it has a Windows version.

???? iThoughts is both Mac and Windows. iThoughts is also really good for including notes and longer text, then exporting.
Overall Writemapper presents a more pleasing writing environment (I think). But iThoughts will do more. It all depends on what you use mind maps for. I have both and am glad I do. But if I could only purchase one I’d probably lean towards iThoughts unless you are almost exclusively using mind mapping for organizing writing projects.

Thank you, and sorry for being obtuse.
