Using Mind Node for years, no a subscription model which I do not like but even worse the last two version rendered the app nearly unusable for me. Now sub nodes created from a main node detach automatically if you try to drag them to far from main node, super annoying as it constantly happens now something which took a second often takes me a minute. Also clicking on nodes not always activates them anymore need to click on different part and often a few times. How can I downgrade????

This is a great app and I’ve used it for some projects ... I happily paid upgrade fees every time a new version came out, but I will bail on the subscription model. While Pages and Numbers are not as intuitive, for the type of mind mapping I do both are quite enough. It’s not about being cheap, it’s about owning software and not wanting to rent it. I’m all for supporting app development but between kickstarter campaigns and subscriptions that some developers introduce it’s just getting out of hand in my opinion.
