DrawExpress Diagram

Help is a standard set of diagrams - no interactive support. The two help videos lead to a black screen. So if anything goes wrong…too bad!

I am so happy to have discovered this app. It makes the task of creating diagrams so easy. Drag shapes. Label them. Draw connections. Drag stuff around. This is so much better at the core task than other apps. But I do have suggestions. The interface is not very iOS compliant. iCloud sync seems absent. The file browser is crude. Keyboard support is poor, (CMD-Z) does not undo etc. Can’t figure out how to put a caption at top of box. And the symbol picker is just a random pile of symbols with no search and no hierarchy. I hope the developer continues to improve. I would pay more! But I am going to carry on using!

Love this App so easy to use, just wish I could create my own shapes would be able to do so much more then whilst on the move on the engineering side.

It’s fantastic to be able to draw a box and have it recognised, but being limited to the one specific format is a limitation that prevents me making much use of this app outside random sketches.

This app provides easily the most intuitive and easy to use interface to create diagrams on the move - it provides the ease of a whiteboard with the ability correct as you go, update shapes and lines to be specific or re-organise, and tidy up from a presentation perspective so the exported images are ready for use in slides. Having tried many of the apps allowing creation of flow charts, organisation structures, sequence flows, or various IT architecture diagrams, this is the most responsive and simplest to work with, whilst covering all the main shapes and functionality required, and works fully offline. Hoping future development will add Visio export and improve collaboration/sharing options - even the ability to have one iPad in charge projecting to a screen and a group in a room all able to contribute to the same drawing in real-time for example, via Bluetooth or WiFi.

Downloaded this app after shoulder surfing someone at a work meeting. Great gesture based interface allows for compelling diagrams to be created quickly and easily. The customer support is also fantastic. Had one question on how to achieve something in a diagram and got a response in minutes.

This is instantly my favourite business diagram tool, until now I had found myself returning to pen and paper more often than not, but this app has changed that, I'm loving the gesture recognition. It's totally responsive and very easy to pick up. After trying the lite version I had no hesitation in upgrading. Recommended.

This is great for a first release. Very easy to use and intuitive interface. Visionaries finally have a real replacement for restraint napkins. Only a few things needed for it to be THE app for modelling on the fly. 1) Change the text entry keyboard to the default rather than the email keyboard. Can't even get the colon for class diagrams. I use the pipe but very annoying. 2) Needs the ability to set objects to foreground or background when they overlap. 3) importable image of environment/node blocks for deployment diagrams. 4) ability to save and import custom composite items. This really is a great app and I look forward to giving 5 stars as soon as these minor fixes let me.

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.
