You cannot presently add in any shapes, pictures, art, templates, etc. What you can use PureFlow to do is create a simple process flow or DFD. I did not see any way to do SWIM LANE diagrams at present, but free is free and this is basic and simple. ### 4/5 — Very restricted *2024-07-05, version 2.4.5* Nice to draw strictly only pure flow diagrams. ### 4/5 — Great but I have a suggestion *2023-12-09, version 2.4.3* It works well and it’s simple enough, but it would be better if you could import images into the boxes. Great app, would recommend. Just I wanted to find an app besides Lucidchart that you could import images into. ### 4/5 — Out of the box , working well *2023-07-24, version 2.4.3* I'm new to this app, but it did just what I needed it to do, and the learning curve was kind. ### 5/5 — Better than premium *2023-07-04, version 2.4.3* I have actually used paid software like LucidChart to make conceptual maps, but I sincerely prefer this app! Super intuitive, easy to use and excellent interface. Don’t spend money on an subscription, just download this app! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-04-27, version 2.4.3* What a great app, in a short while I have produced a flow chart for my software development. The design of the app allowed significant flexibility and changes to the drawing were straightforward. Thanks ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect, But Missing Features *2023-02-17, version 2.4.3* I absolutely love that there is some kind of flowchart builder like this on the ipad for me to create flowcharts for programming excericses, but it is surprisingly limited compared to (draw.io). I should at least be able to create my own lines on the graph and not just the provided shapes. Because of this limitation, I have had to pop back on my PC to (draw.io) to complete some of my exercises. Hope this feedback helps. ### 5/5 — Satisfied *2023-02-01, version 2.4.3* I downloaded this app to help me with college work. It is easy to figure out and produces the products I need in a simple format. Whoever developed it and provided it for free, thank you. I would recommend this for app. ### 5/5 — Very Useful App *2023-01-22, version 2.4.3* Outstanding app that is very useful to document processes, , I'm I missing something that this is free? Thanks. ### 5/5 — … I want to paint it black! *2022-11-12, version 2.4.3* This is a superior app in design and function. Thank you Aleksandr. Now is it too much to ask for black as an additional background color? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-11-05, version 2.4.3* I never thought that a free app would be this good. This does everything I need and more. ### 5/5 — Simply best *2022-11-03, version 2.4.3* As a free diagram and flowchart app this PureFlow provides exactly what I need on mobile device, quickly and easy edit diagrams and still looks pretty clean and beautiful, maybe elegant is more precisely description. 10/10 recommend. ### 5/5 — This is most useful application on my iPad *2022-10-06, version 2.4.1* Of the many applications that I have on my iPad to support planning and project management, task scheduling, and time management, this one is, by far, the most useful application I’ve ever installed and continued using. It is a perfect blend of simplicity and usability. Excellent job! ### 5/5 — I love this App *2022-08-04, version 2.4.1* Rarely leave reviews but this app works so well and is integrated so naturally into the OS that it’s fantastic to have. All the different ways to export the charts and the simplicity of it all is great. The only thing I wish is to have this on my Mac but with handoff its so easy to copy and paste charts. Fantastic work ### 5/5 — Top Quality app *2022-08-01, version 2.4.0* It only takes a few seconds to get to grips with it, very intuitive. Well done ### 5/5 — Big BIG Thanks to the Developer! *2022-07-13, version 2.3.1* In a world that few things are free, this perfect app stands out not only for its well thought development (it really has everything figured out) but also the programmer making it available for free. Big thanks to Aleksandr Kozlov. ### 5/5 — Terrific App!! *2022-06-29, version 2.3.1* This is a terrific app. Easy to use. Very intuitive. I was looking for a simple flowchart app and found the perfect solution to my needs! ### 5/5 — How is this free? *2022-06-28, version 2.3.1* I might be missing something because I can’t understand how this is free. I even looked around to see if I could donate money and don’t see that either. It’s obvious the developer has put countless hours into making an amazing app that is very easy to use yet has almost every needed feature. I can’t begin to imagine how much time you put into building this app, but sincere thanks for an amazing app. ### 5/5 — Almost what I was looking for *2022-04-23, version 2.3.1* I would love it to have more settings like only scroll with fingers and selection box by default with pencil Also, and more urgent, I would love if you could snap the arrows to the center of the shape instead of top, bottom, left and right ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So Disapointing *2025-04-04, version 2.4.5* This app offers so much, which i loved and used. Unfortunately it deletes your work after some time. All that time lost with no back up ### 1/5 — All me to edit connector angles and text location now! *2021-09-30, version 2.2.2* As titled. ### 1/5 — Works fine on iOS 10 ... but not on later *2020-02-17, version 1.4.3* I used this App for some time on my old V4 ipad up to iOS 10. I have just updated to an iPad Pro ... successfully installed the app from the cloud and ran it .... unfortunately, the flowchart shapes don’t appear and you cannot create a new sheet. A real pity - this was a very useful app. ### 1/5 — Плохо *2019-07-18, version 1.4.3* Постоянно крашится, iOS 12, после перезапуска недавно нарисованные части диаграммы пропадают ### 1/5 — Not very intuitive *2019-02-13, version 1.4.3* Support non existent I played with it for an hour and will delete and go looking for better. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2019-02-01, version 1.4.3* This app does not have compatibility with iOS 12. The keyboard isn’t placed properly on the screen. The app does not ask for permission to the photo album so when it tries to save the chart to a photo, it just doesn’t work with no error saying as much. The app should be updated or pulled from the store. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2016-02-24, version 1.4.3* First attempt OK however unable to output to print, checked support, suggested I need to purchase. I am finding it impossible to find any way that I can purchase this product never mind how much it costs.. Remain frustrated Robert ### 1/5 — No user guide, can't figure it out *2014-12-16, version 1.4.3* The only help available is a link to a forum, where the creator says it is too simple to need a user guide. I like to think I am of average intelligence, but after fiddling with this app for ten minutes--tapping everything--I still can't make much more than one shape. Can't figure out how to put the flow into my charts, and I've already wasted too much time on this. ### 1/5 — useless now *2014-04-26, version 1.3.1* really good update! NOT! it crashes at opening and closes immediately... can't even open the app. don't bother with it. the developer should test it properly before putting in the App Store ### 1/5 — Can't output with In App Purchase *2014-02-06, version 1.2.3* Easy to use and simple. Unfortunately the description does NOT tell you you can't output the flow chart without first buying the In App Purchase. Very misleading! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-02, version 2.4.5* Best app for what it does and free! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Brilliant and a joy to use *2025-10-28, version 2.4.5* This app has set the standard for other other apps to follow. It's the most intuitive app I've ever used. It does exactly what it was designed to do brilliantly. I've used flowcharting apps in other operating systems, but they were always a chore to use, and the resulting flowcharts were never as attractive as the ones created by PureFlow. In response to the other reviews that complain about this or that feature being missing, some of those features have already been added. And keep in mind that PureFlow is designed to be simple, elegant, and easy easy to use. If you need additional features, look elsewhere. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2025-09-26, version 2.4.5* So well done, wouldn’t change a thing! ### 5/5 — A basic, intuitive tool for making flow charts *2025-03-12, version 2.4.5* I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app before, but I was so relieved to find this very intuitive, easy to use way to create some flow charts that I decided to write this. As a Board member for a non-profit, I wanted an easy way to visually present what our committee is doing. I have tried doing this with “smart art” and various templates, but find it profoundly difficult to get things to look, and print, the way I want. This app makes it so very simple to make what I want and have it print without suddenly becoming gobbled garbage. Yay! ### 5/5 — Super easy to get the job done *2025-02-09, version 2.4.5* This is so intuitive to use, I learned to do what I needed to do in just 5 minutes. With the pdf export, It's a plus as I usually need to share my code-flow thoughts. Such a deal. 8^) ### 5/5 — Simple and clean *2024-12-21, version 2.4.5* Does what it says on the tin. Would be great if a snap grid was visible to aid alignment. ### 5/5 — The more I use it the better I like it! *2024-04-23, version 2.4.5* It’s simple and elegant. Does exactly what I want. Works perfectly. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for flowcharts *2024-01-05, version 2.4.4* For a free app this is amazing - it’s easy to use (read the tutorials! Doesn’t take long but worth doing.) and produces lovely looking charts that are easy to create and edit. Gotta admit that I’d be happy to pay for this app. ### 5/5 — very helpful *2023-12-23, version 2.4.3* this is my first comment, I strongly recommend this app for those people who want to make their idea clear. simple and useful. thank you developer ### 5/5 — Simple genius *2023-11-12, version 2.4.3* This app is a gem. So easy to use. Not bloat, just a simple, intuitive interface. I hope that it continues to be supported.
