Great App

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.

Good app ... needs export and import to be great

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.

Very cool and neat simple app.

I think it's a really smart app. At first I thought it wasn't going to help with my UML sketches, but then, I realized that the mix of pencil strokes and gestures gets you to create whatever you want. Thank you!

Deceptive

They show great looking UML diagrams in screenshots but you cannot create them. Basically you can type in center of UML class diagram and not in individual parts like class name, attributes and methods. You have to format it via enter empty lines, painful and still floating solution. I want refund!

Response from developer

We have a tutorial section for "class and interface" text markup for Class Diagram. You can see the tutorial from the "help" section in the app or from our website.

Excellent

I am a law student, and this app lets me capture outlines, relationships, the big picture, quickly and without the frustration of lots of clicking, selecting, formatting.

Only suggestion – the app sometimes crashes on me. Hopefully those glitches are worked out in following versions.

One of the best apps on the AppStore

Feature filled diagramming application. Be sure and take the time to follow the tutorial as it will make your initial experience much smoother. Once you have the basics down it’s actually quite intuitive. Great for any type of mind mapping/diagramming. The network diagramming is worth its weight in gold. I use it for planning network installations and mapping existing ones. Try the free version and get your bearings. Once you get the hang of it head back and purchase the paid version. Keep this baby alive by supporting the developers because there isn’t another one like it in the AppStore.

👍 Thanks for the pdf export!

Great even without Pencil support

Tried this out together with a bunch of other apps for drawing diagrams on iPad Pro with Pencil. This one turns out to be the most intuitive once I learned the few gestures, even though it doesn’t support Pencil.
I used to dread doing diagrams on PC/MAC, even with tools that are supposed to make it easier such as Visio. Now I do all my diagrams in this app and then export them.

This is also great for face-to-face discussions when, for example, there is a need to quickly come up with a sequence diagram or a flow chart. It’s as intuitive and fast as pen-and-paper, but with the ease of making modification on the fly.
I can honestly say that this is the app which makes me feel comfortable to just bring an iPad Pro to a technical meeting.

I’ve been using this for 6 months and I can’t praise this app enough. I just hope the developer will continue to improve it.

Brilliant App

If you are a software developer or manager and need to produce UML, sequence or flow diagrams this App is great, especially on the iPad Pro!

No way to save to a cloud on iPad

Spent one week creating a project now I have no way to share this between devices. Waste of $16 buying this app on multiple platforms. Buyer beware absolutely no support.

Love it

Works well on iPhone 10.
One question. How do I change the arrow type between UML class blocks?
