### 1/5 — Didn’t work on 2016 iPad Pro 11

*2026-08-03*

Wouldn’t let me create an account. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot and takes your work with it

*2026-06-11*

I want to like OmniGraffle, I really do. It’s ambitious and attempts to tackle any number of advanced features of vector drawing and flow charts. It was one of the very first apps I bought for my first iPad even though it cost an eye popping $50 at the time. 10 or 15 years ago it was much more reliable than it is now. I used to use it for maps of complex networks at clients and at home. No simple block diagrams for me! I used the transparency, layering, photographic imports, drop shadows, and other effects quite liberally. No more. With dismay I’ve watched this app degenerate into an assorted collection of crashes, stutters and freezes; it prompts me to submit yet another unanswered "failure report" via mail nearly every time I launch it now. The final straw was when it lost a massively complex drawing just now. I had worked on it for many hours; suddenly when I just started app-for some reason it was only offering a much earlier version of the drawing. I find myself in need of continuously backing up what I’m working on by making extra copies of the document while using this app and I forgot to do it this time. At the end of the day, the frustration, mountains of wasted time, total lack of development or improvement, and apparent abandonedware nature of this app lead me to warn my fellow App Store denizens: stay away from OmniGraffle. And the rest of the developer’s rotten products while you’re at it

### 1/5 — Unacceptable lack of stability

*2026-05-10*

This app has simply been left behind. From a company that still wants us to invest in them buy buying their products. I’ve bought them all. And they treat the customers by not updating this app in 7 months and allowing it die. It is UNSTABLE. Crashes. Loses data. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. The fact that Omni are working on a new version, with the hope that we all dive in, is one heck of a gamble - you’re losing our confidence and then will ask us to pay to upgrade? Pretty terrible business practice tbh

### 2/5 — Disappoint lack of feature parity

*2025-11-19, version 3.22*

Why there is no outline mode to quickly create flowcharts via keyboard input is beyond insulting. It’s 2025 and this feels like expensive baby software.

### 1/5 — Useless with visio files on ipad as of Nov 2025

*2025-11-14, version 3.22*

While you can now import different visio file formats into OmniGraffle, reality is they arrive somewhat scrambled (I tried every visio format and they all come thru imperfectly). So if you have a complex drawing, you can count on up to 50% of connectors, labels, etc. to be wrong. Also when you export out to visio, there’s only one format available, which MS365 VISIO cannot recognize thus can’t open. In its current state, it remains unusable for anyone working with Visio files (99.99% of Enterprise IT organizations!).

### 1/5 — Zayıf

*2024-11-16, version 3.21*

Deneme aşamasında çok basit işlemlerde çöktü. Yüksek fiyatlandırmaya karşılık, yeteri kadar stabil olmayan bir uygulama olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Birkaç sene önce de kullandığımda aynıydı, pek bir şey değişmemiş.

### 2/5 — Like trying to draw with boxing gloves on

*2024-11-14*

I must say that every detail of the UI is pretty. And the team has managed to stuff an absolutely incredible array of capability into this iPhone app.

That said, trying to actually do any meaningful diagramming is painful. Horridly so. Honesty, the ability to edit OmniGraffle files on iPhone should be free, since I could genuinely argue that investing the effort required to produce any meaningful diagram in the handheld UX is payment enough. Perhaps more.

While I can accept the subscription fee as reasonable for Mac and even iPad, the value proposition simply isn’t there for the iPhone app.

I love the OmniGroup. My first purchase from them was at their MacWorld booth in the Javitz Center in NYC, in the late 90s. So it low-key breaks my heat to write that if you need some ability to create diagrams on a handheld device, I’ve gotta advise you to look elsewhere 💔

### 1/5 — 没有账号的就不要注册了 无法注册 垃圾软件 浪费时间

*2024-09-12*

，

### 1/5 — Terrible first experience

*2024-05-06*

They want you to create an account: I want to try out the software first. I don’t want to create one of your accounts.

Next when you do try to create an account they can’t even bother to integrate it with Apple’s account facilities or any other for that matter.

Finally, when you create a password you have you do it yourself - no help from the system facility to generate and record passwords. 

I didn’t even get to the software itself.

### 1/5 — Jó kiss cucc

*2024-03-11, version 3.19.2*

Javították, mára működik.
