PureFlow ٤+

Great little flow chart app, everything's great! It's simple and easy to use, broadly follows standard iOS design guidelines.

If i had only one gripe, it would be the colors. I wish there was some sort of theming thing where we could choose different defaults, or at least choose individually. The current defaults are too pure, saturated, and garish. They don't look nice together.

All in all though, that's a small thing for an app like this. Even better, free! Without ads or iAPs. I'd even be willing to pay for this (provided it had better colors and other minor UI improvements) It's a great simple app.

I wanted to do a nice little diagram with boxes that were all the same size, connected by lines. I wanted to be able to line the boxes up as well. I didn't want to put text in, or have an automatic hierarchy; just an empty diagram, please. I couldn't figure out how to do it easily in either of two drawing programs on my Mac, or easily in any of four drawing apps on my iPad.

After an hour and a half of frustration I downloaded this little gem. Within a half hour I had the diagram I wanted, and exported the PDF to Dropbox. It's a specialized tool, but it does what it does very well.

Despite using PureFlow infrequently over the last 3 years, every revisit has been a joyous experience. It’s incredibly intuitive and the user quickly learns the capabilities (and just as importantly the limitations) within the design space. The visual feedback is really good.

I could cherry-pick some minor issues to prevent a 5-star rating, but that would miss the point. I’d like to signal to the creator that I appreciate the engineering involved in this very touch-centric app. I only wish there was a way to make a small contribution for their effort. Truly well done.
