Updated Version

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.

Response from developer

Hi, I've been working with another user to figure out why this is happening to some users (and not for others), and I believe I have the issued addressed. The fix will be included in version 2.1.27. If you're curious, reach out to support@elevenworks.com and I can explain what the issue was.

Great Resource

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!

Best Diagramming App Available

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.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're upset about the free trial; however this is the only way Apple allows developers to provide a trial for software. To be clear, if it wasn't obvious, TouchDraw *does not* use a subscription model. The free trial is a "no cost" one time purchase which allows you to use the app for 7 days. It simply expires and there are no automatic follow-up charges. If you decide you like the app, you can either unlock it permanently with an in-app purchase, or buy the "enterprise" version which is a traditional upfront purchase model (with exactly the same feature set).

By Jove he did it !!

09-Apr-2022 : Thanks for the update … This must be some of the best product-support that I have ever experienced.
.
23-Jan-2022 : Belated thanks … I have been patiently waiting for the Grid Colour selection feature to appear, and it has been snuck-in already. I can’t thank you enough … This is a game-changer for me !! .
.
Review of 11-Oct-2021 update: The additional functionality is very useful … This App just keeps getting better. . .
.
Review of 25-Sep-2021 update: The shearing of dimension lines now works very nicely, too ! . Review of Grid Level option: Many thanks for implementing this … it transforms the usability of TD 2 when ‘tracing’ existing images. If it’s not too much to ask … Could you please also allow selection of Grid colour ?

Great App

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.

Visio Import?

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

Response from developer

Importing VSDX files is supported if you have internet connectivity when you open the file. If that doesn't work and you continue to have issues importing a VSDX file, please reach out via the feedback menu in the app so that I can investigate.

Great App!

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!
