So far so good. Actually I love it. Found it in my time of need. I wish it could be viewed in the gmail app sidebar. It would just be fantastic for my workflow, I'm sure many users don't really care, but since Gmail (Workspace) is my default place to organize ideas and tasks (Google Tasks & Google Calendar & Google Notes)...now I just need this little baby sitting on the side so my life is complete...just a thought.

After accepting Google Drive permissions, including my details there is a custom signup button stating that it is free. Looking at the pricing page it looks like it is only the signup that is free. Untrustworthy.

While it still should be considered beta, this program performs its task well. Rundown: The scope of this app is the first thing you should consider. The app is intended to be clean, lightweight, and portable. If you were expecting Strictly structured documents with multiple third party integration, extended printer support, and full media utilization then you are looking in the wrong direction. Try some other commercial bloatsoft application. What you will find here is a quick loading, Non strict, modeling environment that tries to bring modeling back to its basics. The work space is an unlimited space that can be scaled and zoomed independent of browser zoom. The images that can be saved are fitted to the scale of the model that is being worked on but can only be downloaded as a whole model image. If you are working on a very large diagram that image will be very large in pixel size. Thankfully it's a .PNG format. The non strict nature means that you are never tied in by special rules or format types. All elements that can be created, for whatever visual models that are available, can be added in. Where elements may be useful for class or use case diagrams means nothing for any restrictions on functionality. All objects are treated just as they are, with nothing more then shape, text, and anchor points as a variation. Advantages/disadvantages: Being a Google Docs app, the work space is collaborative. The user can invite team members to the app and work on larger scale models or mind maps. Having modular tools and being so lightweight allows it to be used and edited quickly with no restraint on what type of model needs to be created. Unfortunately(Like JavaScript) the free flowing environment with few rules and little restriction requires a user who knows their job. Users who need to model a use case for client interaction should be intelligent and well informed on the purpose and subject that they are working with. If the task is intended to be a presentation then the back to basics nature of the app may leave it falling short. Conclusion: All in all, this application is perfect for students and agile/extreme practices where more output is required at a quicker pace. Where secondary software or presentations are required then a more specific program may be needed.

Well, this app is great for quick doodles, network maps and tech sketches. The UI is well done (compared to some) and it has some nice but not too many features. Unlike another review here, I love this on my Chromebook touch screen. It and Chromecast and it makes an awesome whiteboard app as well!

UI is very confusing... none of the paid options are grayed-out - took a while to figure that you cannot export or remove watermarks. not a very great product. If I cannot fully test it (including exports and other features), how do you expect me to buy it?

It was all just fine until I started adding more and more items. After a couple of copy-pastes and edits it started automatically deleting information and text from buttons and other figures. This will not do. I must be able to trust that the app will not remove or lose information. I can't keep checking and fixing this.
