### 2/5 — Leider für mich nicht nutzbar, auf 4k Bildschirm zu kleine Schrift

*2026-06-08, version 1.2.10*

Kann die UI nicht Skalieren, nur den Flowchart selber, das nutzt mir aber nichts wenn ich die Werkzeuge nicht lesen kann.

### 4/5 — Like it; still learning

*2026-02-04, version 1.2.10*

I had an issues using Visio on my Mac and was in a pinch so I downloaded Flowchart Designer to make a basic process map and although I had to take some time to familiarize myself with how to use it and buy some additional shapes I was able to complete my first map.

### 3/5 — Problem faced

*2025-05-09, version 3.1.5*

Created a file next converted to PDF then the original file was lost.

### 3/5 — App crashes with no auto sync/save option..

*2024-08-10, version 3.1.5*

I was almost completely done with my project and then the app crashed! It shut down and I lost everything

### 2/5 — Never pay a dime

*2024-08-09, version 1.2.8*

I am not an advanced user, I just want boxes and arrows. Your endless effort to squeeze money out of me made me go nuts.

The app has no warning about what is about to come once the trial period ends.

The app gets dirty to make you pay. You cannot even save the changes in files created before. I am really furious.

### 3/5 — Nice APP!

*2024-08-08, version 1.2.8*

Just started working with this app. I am really starting to get to know and like it alot! Nice work!

### 3/5 — limited

*2024-04-10, version 1.2.6*

The idea of a simple flowchart app is great, but this simply does not deliver. It is difficult to edit, view and exports include unexpected margins.

### 3/5 — Muy facil de aprender

*2024-03-26, version 1.2.5*

Muy Facil de aprender

### 5/5 — tinghao yong

*2024-01-29, version 1.2.4*

hen hao yong

### 3/5 — Funktion plötzlich eingestellt

*2024-01-22, version 3.1.4*

Leider kann ich trotz in-App-Käufen seit einiger Zeit kein neues Dokument mehr anlegen :-(
Eigentlich ein schönes Tool, solange es funktioniert

### 4/5 — Used to be good

*2024-01-09, version 1.2.4*

Needed a simple diagraming tool that got out of my way. This was great for a long time. Recently, drag and drop functions for selecting, moving elements, etc stopped working completely, rendering this application unusable.

Which is really too bad :(

Back to Omnigraffle?

### 1/5 — For free, it ain’t worth it

*2026-02-20, version 3.1.6*

Wanted to set up a simple flow chart. This deleted my work twice. There’s no way to save it. That’s abundantly clear.

It’s said you can save as a PDF also not abundantly clear wouldn’t waste my time on this stupid app

### 1/5 — Didn’t save document

*2025-10-05, version 3.1.6*

The app appears to be useful, has an intuitive layout and is relatively easy to use… BUT after spending a significant amount of time creating a flowchart on iPad, went to open it in the Mac app and discovered that the file had turned into a folder with two JSON files enclosed which the Mac app wouldn’t open. Returned to the iPad app to discover that it wouldn’t open there either - therefore my time was wasted. Will not be using this app again, as I no longer trust it.

### 1/5 — App turns your file into a Jason File

*2025-04-15, version 3.1.5*

How can I use this app if I can't even go back to the project I've started and edit it?

I imagine I could take a picture of it, but WOW, I just wasted my whole day completing half a document that I cannot open anymore because it is now in my library as a Jason File.

### 1/5 — Labels never saved!

*2025-02-17, version 3.1.5*

I paid $10 for the extra flowchart shapes - they heyare useless!! The text in the shapes and on the connectors is never saved!

### 1/5 — NON INSTALLATE QUESTA APP

*2025-02-03, version 1.2.8*

Ho installato questa app sul mio Mac ed ora è IMPOSSIBILE disinstallarla. Divertente davvero scaricare un app e poi trovarsi a smanettare tra il terminale per l’accesso ai permessi o per trovare file residui legati all’app in qualche modo. E non sono nemmeno un esperto, ripeto. Come è possibile che un applicazione del genere possa esistere sull’App Store? Spero di riuscire a disinstallarla ma è impensabile una cosa del genere.

### 1/5 — not a complete product

*2024-08-12, version 1.2.8*

do you want a rhombus? 10$ plz

### 1/5 — Old version

*2024-07-18, version 1.2.8*

It wants to update to version 5 immediately after installing it. It is obsolete.

### 1/5 — Terrible file management

*2024-05-13, version 3.1.5*

Can’t trust this app docs disappear into the ether

### 1/5 — Clunky Software

*2024-03-27, version 1.2.5*

This software is cumbersome to use at first, and does not compare to Visio. With practice is gets easier, but there are many opportunities to improve performance.

### 1/5 — Yeah, does nothing but opens up documents file.

*2023-12-21, version 3.1.4*

This app does not appear to work and looks nothing like the pictures shown. Just opens up iPad document folder. Has no ability to create a folder extremely disappointed. The app has no use at all.

It’s obvious that the five star ratings are coming from the developers, not the users…..

### 5/5 — Outstanding App!

*2024-04-25, version 1.2.6*

I've been looking everywhere for an app that would take me back to my days with Visio. I finally found exactly what I was looking for in Flowchart Designer 3! And on top of that, it currently is a one time purchase at a VERY reasonable price. I couldn't be happier, and am churning out the flowcharts I've been struggling to complete for a while now. Thanks much!
