Great diagramming app I have used so far

Wow. Simply amazing app. Shape recognition works like magic. Diagramming no more feels like tedious task. Shape recognition improves Diagram creation time by great extend.

But still some glitches present, like fill operation is bit confusing. Image export doesn’t seems to be working reliably.

Overall, great app worth spending time and money. Good job team!!

Excellent UI and all the core functionality

This app provides easily the most intuitive and easy to use interface to create diagrams on the move - it provides the ease of a whiteboard with the ability correct as you go, update shapes and lines to be specific or re-organise, and tidy up from a presentation perspective so the exported images are ready for use in slides. Having tried many of the apps allowing creation of flow charts, organisation structures, sequence flows, or various IT architecture diagrams, this is the most responsive and simplest to work with, whilst covering all the main shapes and functionality required, and works fully offline.
Hoping future development will add Visio export and improve collaboration/sharing options - even the ability to have one iPad in charge projecting to a screen and a group in a room all able to contribute to the same drawing in real-time for example, via Bluetooth or WiFi.

Amazing

I have another vector drawing app that meets my documentation needs, and I was looking for something simple that I could use to rough out a diagram quickly. I think this meets both needs, and with it I can produce my final diagrams more quickly. I haven't put it to the test of actually producing diagrams for my documentation but it is so much fun I decided to go ahead and buy the full version.

Fast and Intuitive Diagrams

This program strikes a good balance between flexibility and utility, meaning it lets you quickly create a good looking diagram without overwhelming the process with too mnay options. It's not trying to be all things to everyone, but what it is good at it is *very* good at. Sequence diagrams, for instance, are very easy to create and edit. You can do these in other illustration programs like OmniGraffle, but because OmniGraffle aims to tackle any kind of graphic illustration, it is cumbersome for the types of drawings DrawExpress excels at. (I'm not knocking OmniGraffle at all, it's just not the easiest tool for every job; it has made a different set of design tradeoffs.)

This program has a free version, and the drawings you make with it can be transferred to the paid version. Worth a look for software designers.

Ugly view on iPad Pro

Too expensive for this functionality. Ugly view and lack of icons

Grstures done right

Where many have tried, drawexpress has succeeded. The gestures are perfect, easy to use and highly effective.

Very powerful platform and well thought out workflow for all kinds of diagrams.

Exporting to dropbox a breeze, organizing in folders, etc. decent shape library to boot if use shapes a lot.

I for one hated using library shapes since you have to waste time searching and deciding on a shape, like with vizio. In DE you use the super quick gesture based builtin shapes and at the end you can spruce up the drawing by dropping library shapes over existing "placeholder" shapes. No delete ops necessary. As I said very wrll thought out workflow!

Excellent

Spend more time on ideas and less time futzing. Excellent product.

Highly Useful

This is a really amazing app. It makes creating diagrams very easy and quick. The best part is the draw by hand feature.

This app is pretty good, but...

I got this for my college software engineering class. This app is pretty useful, but permanently saving a diagram apparently requires hitting what looks like a Trashcan button. Very counter-intuitive, unlike the rest of the app.

整体不错

APP名称能短点不,强迫症受不了。
