OmniGraffle 3

I loved Omnigraffle on macOS. It was really good tool. So I wanted to purchase for iPad too. Because now I travel with it. In couple of days, I get 4-5 times crashed on basic functionalities. I can’t use Apple pencil and I can’t really select a layer inside a rectangle after a while (yeah, layer order is fine). And it gets confused after sometime and always bring the text element when you try to select any element. Stencils didn’t get upgrade any like 3 years. Still i see iOS 9 stencils. I wanna switch to something else. So I would like to get refund, please.

Desktop is a great whiteboard tool, but on iPad there’s not even an option to edit fonts.

They don't even give you a single sample document to play around with... such a weird pointless mode to the app. Why let you download it without paying in the first place? I would love to be able to assess this without getting trapped in a trial that converts to a $60 annualized charge but nope, I'll assess something else. From the reviews, seems like the user-hostility for trials is protecting me from a frustratingly buggy & undersupported application...

I have tried for years to like Omni products. It has been a while since I used this. Hoped maybe the updates made my expenditure worth it. Seems to get worse as time going on. Frustrating interface, glitchy. DO NOT waste money on this product.

I’m a happy customer if Omnigraffle for macOS and I still use it to this day for UX/UI wire framing. Although the desktop app is becoming really ‘legacy’ now, e.g no way to collaborate in real-time, no objects I can create or import to scale elements ‘9-slice’, it is still for me the most effective way to wireframe, as I never got used to Adobe’s offering and greatly disliking a subscription model to come with that. The mobile version though to me is useless. Pretty much every file I import from the desktop app is ‘converted’ because it apparently is powered by an entirely different interpreter, rather than shared by the same code-base. Lots of errors and inconsistencies when the file is finally imported. The feature-set is different, which I understand to a certain degree, but is not feasible for a professional workflow. Lastly the mobile app does not provide any added value either, such a real-time collaboration. Therefore it feels more like a subset app with flaws that doesn’t really know what it’s oughta be. As an existing customer I therefore recommend leaving this one alone in its current state and instead just the desktop version.

What kind of person would pay over $100 for an app that could be updated to uselessness tomorrow? Not knowing when the disabling updates will come makes buying a temporary app foolish. Apple shares the blame by allowing these types of app purchases. This is the worst type of never-own-ware. Pitiful.

Interface is mediocre. Implementation is sketch. They need to divide the options for what you want to do and single them out. Every time I go to move an object 9 times out of 10 it resizes the object. Stupid annoying. To the point I feel the need to write this review. Moving an object is a basic function that doesn’t need to be attached to scaling. Rest of the app is fine. Gonna ask for a refund and go back to open office. Fix your interface and I might come back. Right now I’m sitting at the airport and have made almost zero progress in doing my signal map. As a matter of fact I’m now wasting my time complaining about your app. Thanks for the inspiration.

The software used to be my mainstay for pdf and ps files. However, often I use different device moving back and forth between them to complete tasks. Not having a license that crosses these different devices and having to purchase the software multiple times is a deal breaker. For now I will only use the mobile version.

Pretty lame. MS needs to get on the ball with a full fledged Visio app and not just the reader. Far superior product.

I love OG on the Mac — it’s a great app. But here it’s just terrible. Constant crashes and obtuse usability make it painful to use. A waste of money.
