Mindomo can be used from any standard web browser, or by installing the desktop, iPad and Android applications.[27] As a freemium software, Mindomo offers its basic services for free, and charges for premium features,[28] such as downloading in certain formats and uploading documents.[29]

For the educational sector, Mindomo offers student assignments for teachers, integration with many learning-management systems,[29] and allows students to include videos, images and external files to support their ideas.[30]

Mindomo offers teachers with assignment tool that allow them to send an online request to their students inviting them to access incomplete mind map about a specific lesson.[31] Student starts working in groups and begin exploring their broad topic questions and all their changes will be sent to their teacher as notifications in which he can provide feedback via Mindomo comment feature. In the end students encouraged to turn their mind map into a presentation using Mindomo presenter to explain their research process step by step.[29] Mindomo also allows for printing mind map on paper, which can be annotated and also distributed to other students for peer review.[5]

Mindomo's business features include task assignment for team members, commenting, and projects planning with Gantt chart views.[32] Team members can share mind maps and make their own updates. Individuals can be assigned to each business function, and subtopics that need focus can be prioritized.[33]

Michael Stratton, author of "The Effective Project Manager", used Mindomo for examples of using mind maps in project management.[34][33]

Reception

When Mindomo launched in 2007, Chuck Frey, author of "The Mind Mapping Software Blog" wrote, "Mindomo sets a new standard for web-based mind mapping tools with features that rivals many desktop mind maps.[9] In 2014, Mindomo was available to all public schools in Ontario, Canada, as it was approved by the Ontario Software Acquisition Program Advisory Committee (OSAPAC), which advises the Canadian Ministry of Education on the acquisition of provincial licenses for publicly-funded schools in Ontario.[35][36]

In 2019, Mindomo won PC Magazine's Editors' Choice award as "best mind mapping tool", citing how it coupled mind-mapping with the social aspects of knowledge management.[37] According to Mindomo's website, there are more than six million users of Mindomo worldwide.[38]
