Crashes a lot and takes your work with it
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

Unacceptable lack of stability
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

Disappoint lack of feature parity
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.
Useless with visio files on ipad as of Nov 2025
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!).

Zayıf
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.
Like trying to draw with boxing gloves on
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 💔

Terrible first experience
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.

Jó kiss cucc
Javították, mára működik.
iPad Version Unusable
Desktop is a great whiteboard tool, but on iPad there’s not even an option to edit fonts.
Why do you need my email?
I wanted to test the app before purchase. There's only option to subscribe and create account. If there is a free trial it's not visible enough.
大纲视图大纲视图大纲视图
我不知道为什么Mac版有大纲视图，iPad版单单把最重要的大纲视图去掉了
绘图工具很多，omni家算比较贵的，促成我购买的主要原因就是大纲视图，结果发现没了

頻繁に落ちる、挿入したアイコンの移動がスムーズにできない（拡大縮小してしまう）、キーボードショートカットでの削除やコピーが機能しないなど、ストレスが溜まる使い勝手の悪いツールです。
無料ならまだしも有料ソフトとしては製品レベルに達していません。

What's happened to OmniGraffle Pro for iPad?
I have not used OmniGraffle Pro on my iPad for a long time. I was shocked at how bad it has become. Object selection is at best hit and miss, and usually just random. Drawing on the canvas just mangles what is there already. The inspectors are all over the place. This app is expensive. In its current state, I would not use it if it were free. Disgraceful.

Sample mode is confusing & misleading
They don't even give you a single sample document to play around with... such a weird pointless mode to the app. Why let you download it without paying in the first place? I would love to be able to assess this without getting trapped in a trial that converts to a $60 annualized charge but nope, I'll assess something else. From the reviews, seems like the user-hostility for trials is protecting me from a frustratingly buggy & undersupported application...

No evaluation possible without heafty purchase
Freshly downloaded. Tutorial says: click + to create a new document. I click + and get the choice between two purchase options. The cheapest is 13,49€/m. Are you kidding? Not even an evaluation mode?
At this pricepoint not interested for an occasional private diagram. The app must hold the sad record now for shortest time present on my iPad.

Waste of money
I have tried for years to like Omni products. It has been a while since I used this. Hoped maybe the updates made my expenditure worth it. Seems to get worse as time going on. Frustrating interface, glitchy. DO NOT waste money on this product.
Painful
Tried to use this on the iPad with the Apple Pencil, but it’s painful to do anything. It resizes when you want to move and moves when you want to resize, there’s no control.
It also crashed on my twice (reports submitted) and you can’t export svg, which means I have to use bitmaps when embedding diagrams in wikis for example.

Самые лучшие приложения!
Приложения Оми не только лучшие в плане функционала но и максимально респектабельны к приватности пользователя: это пожалуй единственные приложения, в которых по умолчанию отключены опции анонимного сбора данных!
Спасибо Омни!
Not only the best in functionality but also user data privacy oriented: anonymous data collection option is off by default!
Thanks Omni
