Software Reviews and Criticism

  Better then Gliffy

  Overall I’m liking it a lot more than Gliffy, although it has some quirks and rough edges. It’s nice to be able to draw connecting lines without having to select a separate tool, and symmetrical resizing by holding the option key is great. Option-dragging to duplicate would be great if it didn’t also duplicate the lines attached to an object. Undo really needs work, it just seems like a lot of actions cannot be undone. I like to work on an unlimited canvas size as my charts will never be printed, but creating a custom page size is an OK workaround for the fact that the canvas size is equal to the page setup page size. I wish that text for connecting lines would either create a mask over the line or default to being next to the line instead of on top of it, as having to drag every line label to the side after creating it is a pain.

  This is awesome!

  I have been searching for an app to make flow charts. It seems like it should be an easy thing to do but this is the first one I have used that has actually worked. Its so simple and the learning curve is really short. Great app. I am looking into the paid version. The developer has given so much in the free version I am having a hard time finding a reason to upgrade. I intend to upgrade anyway just to support the developer.

  Four hours of work disappeared!

  Yes, I know this is a free version but after building a complex flow chart (and yes, I was saving constantly) I did an undo action and several of the connecting lines were misaligned. Instead of realigning each of them I do what I do with EVERY OTHER APP: I chose “File > Revert to” the saved document. Much to my horror it restored a version from the very beginning!! Believe me when I say that I’m a power user, have been on Macs since literally the very beginning, and know how to use PC, apps and the PC to its limit. There is NO excuse for an app to exhibit this behavior and, of course, there isn’t a snowballs-chance-in-hell I’ll upgrade to the full version now.

  Intuitive and lots of neat features

  This is a great replacement for Omnigraph (if they even sell that anymore). The only problem I ran into was that the Undo key misbehaves sometimes. But, after I saved the document, it worked fine. Other than that, the program is exemplary. There are several minor possible improvements but nothing worth mentioning in a review. Keep up the good work. This app is a keeper!!!
