I also fell for the “lifetime license” wording. I bought 5 - all for personal use - to be able to use across devices. So in total a big price per user, but I liked the idea.
Now version 3 is out. Not only is the “lifetime license” read as “you are allowed to keep v2 in perpetuity” - vs. “you get new upgrades”, there is also no upgrade pricing.
I got some value out of the app but not sufficient ROI to pay full price again, esp. since it’s not tied to user and would require again buying a larger quantity.

I like WriteMapper overall. Aside from brainstorming a document from scratch, it seems to work well for importing a document and enriching/reorganising it. The minimal writing environment is nice, I like the dark mode, and the live preview is very good for overview.
Putting the live preview and the mind map side by side shows a weakness of the interface—actually of the interface of most many mapping applications: mind maps take much more screen real estate than their equivalent outlines.
I imported a fairly complex document. In the live preview the whole outline fits in the (4K) screen height and is crystal clear with a well sized font. The mind map has to be zoomed out considerably to fit in the same height and is then barely readable. This can surely be improved with more customisation options for the mind map.

Agreed. The other shortcomings I pointed out to the developer were as follows:
Yep, okay, there’s markdown. But…
- there’s no smart punctuation – in a writing app!
- there’s no support for (internal) headers (again, somewhat surprising in a writing app)
- there’s no support for highlighting
- there’s no support for fonts (choosing your own)
- there’s no support for selecting and exporting multiple nodes (although you can export grouped nodes by tagged colours)
- you can’t link nodes (using e.g. wikilinks – or any other kind of link)
The new positives are:
- nice search function (vastly improved)
- nice Live Preview function
- nice export function (with a very wide selection of options)
- an interesting roadmap
