TouchDraw 2

Compare to all drawing apps available this comes the most close to Visio. And i have tested a lot. I hope that in future releases the following features can be added to make it complete: 1. Rounding in lines and shapes 2. Spline editing to make curves in lines from normal lines (pencil tool in Visio) 3. Better lock control on shapes (ratio, width, height) 4. Tabs pages 5. Background shapes 6. Recognize halve circles with pencil 7. Properties variable to extract them to excel But besides then missing features it is a very good and usable app.

There are multiple other drawing apps, such as draw.io, Lucidchart, Grafio, Diagramming, etc. This app has features others don’t have: - Unlimited canvas with page size projected - Proper export incl. split per page and everything on one page - Layers - Apple Pencil and keyboard support And above all fast and intuitive interface. If you try the others, you will notice they all miss something of the above. Only one big thing that would make it the number one: Live sharing! (In a way Lucidchart does)

Edit: The developer has reached out and resolved the issue, which I greatly appreciate. Making mistakes is natural, but it’s how we fix the, that matters. I’m grateful the error could be fixed, and appreciate being let known. After buying TouchDraw right when it came out, a decade ago, I have used it a lot and for a long time. The reason I’m leaving this 1 star review, is on this new ‘updated version’ now for the third time in two weeks the app does not save my work—even when clicking in File->Save. When I close the app and open it, my last hour or two of work is missing. Not acceptable for any app in 2021.

Have been using this app and its previous versions for years, it’s excellent, intuitive and flexible. Many congratulations to the team that develop and maintain this great little resource!

I’ve been using Touchdraw since 2011-ish (first version). I think it’s the best app out there to make diagrams and I’ve tried many (from Inspiration, Visio, and others). I’m a teacher and I use it mainly to make graphic organizers for class and for personal use (I’m a very visual learner and I like mapping out what I learn). I like the app because it’s powerful- it has a lot of features like different text formatting options, visual element options (arrow heads, shadows, etc), and editing options (like grouping objects, connections). I also like that you can create libraries so you have your most used formatted objects easily accessible. There is a slight learning curve because it’s powerful. But, once you have a work flow down, making diagrams is really easy. Anyways, I writing this review because I want to support the developers. There has been too many times that a good app that I regularly use no longer get updated and becomes unavailable. I hope that doesn’t happen with this app. The developers came out with a new version after about 10 years and I appreciate that they haven’t gone to a subscription model. I will gladly pay for new versions, even across different devices types (desktop).

Was looking for original TouchDraw from reddic rec. downloaded v2 with high hopes, unfortunately you cant even create an empty document without signing up for the free trial. Deleted TouchDraw 2 in under 5 mins. It looks like a lovely app, but the forced trial is beyond my boundaries for apps.

I use it mostly for room layout/planning. Easy to use and has most features needed for my application. Great developer response to questions and problems. I wish there was a more comprehensive library for room planning or that you could purchase libraries for different types of drawings. Works well with the Mac version.

Like the program so far, but would like to know if importing .vsdx files is on the roadmap. I work with Visio drawing often, but the new format support is critical for me. Thanks for making this product! Really fills a niche for iPad

I’m an amateur app developer and after 10 years, I am finally building flow charts and layouts for my app. I’m also an engineer who uses very expensive Autodesk CAD software. Well this app gives Autodesk a run for their money with this wonderfully intuitive app that is easy to use. It’s also subscription-free. Buying this was a no-brainer after doing a trial run. Thank you to the developers!
