    PROS: The tool explains itself and its functions very well. Icons and images help make your mind maps less confusing. Use a drag-and-drop design mechanic. Bold colors and defined box borders are effective.
    CONS: Designing is slow compared to the full version. No freehand mode. Exporting is far better with the full version. Takes a steady hand to drag and drop nodes efficiently.
