Ratings and Reviews
Solid app
I use this app to build flowcharts for work. It has everything I need, and what looks like plenty of additional functionality that I haven't explored.
One change I'd love to see is the able to highlight or change the aspects of particular text within a text box. For example you change the color of text but it happens to affect all text within a text box. Whereas, I'd like the ability to alter only certain portions of my text whether that be size, bold/italitc, or color.
Exactly what I was lookng for
Every now and then I need to create flowcharts, process diagrams, etc. For a couple of years I had been using another app that felt limited and kludgy to me. So I searched the app store looking for something else to try, and I found VisualDesigner.
I'm very happy with it. I can create flowcharts, etc. much more quickly. They look better, and there are many options for shapes, styles, clip art, etc.
There is a bit of a learning curve - that's the case with any software. The developer created extensive context-aware explanations and tips and hints for how to use the software. That really shortened the learning curve. It looks like that was a lot of work for the developer, and it's quite helpful.
There were a couple of features that I couldn't figure out even with the built-in help. I sent a couple of emails to the developer and he replied promptly with clear, complete explanations.
The free version of the software limits you to 100 elements in a drawing. I will probably never hit that limit, but I upgraded to the paid version anyhow because this software is so helpful to me and I believe software developers deserve to be paid when they write good programs.
High value, high quality, highly useful
This program is very good, the price is reasonable and the features are professional quality. I use this program every single day, as a software architect I find it easy and powerful to make diagrams of system flows, data hierarchy, class diagrams, etc and the VisualDesigner works as I expect and has not crashed or destroyed my work. Many of the features are automatic and intuitive; for example when placing a figure on the canvas alignment ‘hints lines' appear so that I know when a group of boxes are properly aligned, they disappear if I don’t want a figure aligned or I completed placing the object.
My bottom line is that the price is reasonable (I don’t have to worry about my boss approving the purchase) and the quality is great.
