DrawExpress Diagram

I searched for a flowchart on the App Store and download six contenders. This was the fifth one I tried. I didn’t bother trying the last one. Before I got to DrawExpress I didn’t spend more than one minute on any of the other contenders because they were frustrating for many reasons. Draw express was a comparative breath of fresh air. Intuitive, easy, and elegant. When I wanted to do more then was initially intuitive, I went to their website and the clear instructional diagrams there had me charting like a pro in almost no time at all. Less than a minute to pick up several new tricks. I doubt I will need the features of the full app but I bought it anyhow to support the developer. Eight dollars is a small price to pay to encourage people who make the world better to keep doing it. Hey developer, thank you! also, I ran into a bug several times but of course when I tried to record it to report it to you it no longer happened. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It wasn’t work-stopping, but I figured you’d want to know. i’ll try to capture it if it happens again.

Class dividers don’t work. I tried and tried. Searched online, but to no avail. Looks like they screwed this app up and left it up. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS.

I can create simple or complex flowcharts and mind maps for my job. The export options are great: PDF, PNG, and SVG. A++ app especially since it does not require a subscription! I hate subscription software and refuse to buy apps that are subscription based.

Instaviz had been my go-to app when I need to hash out a few ideas so I was devastated when it stopped working when I upgraded to iOS 15.3 Took me a while to try out various diagrammers and I am so glad I found Draw Express. More stable & features & shapes. Am glad with my purchase. Note to developer: if you can put in that self-organizing feature like in Instaviz, I am willing to shell out another $8 (at least).

Perfect with my Apple Pencil. Hope you can add “rename” function

It took forever to understand that Class diagrams are not supported. What you get is a text box. You then enter text into a large text box where you enter “.class.” At the top to tell it what it is. Hit enter and type a class name, enter then add a series of periods to indicate a separator. Now enter you properties one per line. Another set of periods, then your methods one per line. Select done and receive a poorly represented class. The class name is overlapping the line that should start the properties. The areas not cleanly delineated. The interface to create the class is not intuitive, and bears no representation of task purposed interface that helps the user. It is a pretty app, though.

Crop features on image insertion lacks the features of the android version Disappointed

Love it, this is exactly what I was looking for

Exactly what I need. Very easy to use and makes nice charts. Did not experience any issues at all. Saved several file formats to Dropbox. Switched to paid version from LITE. I can't comment on how it works with very complex charts and features as I do not use it for that purpose.

Very smart user interface, Easy, Comfort and Friendly.
