ABUGIRGES  This is a very good app. What makes it problematic is when you have to work in a mixed environment where people use MS Visio. The exporting do Visio does not correctly work in a couple of instances so that you can never be sure that the document shows the same as before. You need to manually check everthing before sending it out. This should be improved... please!!

Apart from that OmniGraffle does a great job when it comes to any kind of concept specification.

SHERMAN WILCOX  Great program, couldn't live without it for my scientific publications.

GUNTIS  BLUESTAR >

I just tried to save my OmniGraffle Pro (OGP) 5.1rc1 (v.137.6.0.106738) document with the document window resized bigger than the actual document (about 1 inch to each side), then I quit application, re-opened saved document, and it opened with the same window size as it was saved in the previous session. No problems.  
(Version 5.1rc1)

BLUESTAR  A major issue is still not fixed. See my comment below.  
(Version 5.1 beta 2)

BLUESTAR  This is generally a nice app. BUT! A small thing really annoys the hell out of me and the developers are not listening. I still don't see a fix in the list of issues fixed that corrects the survival of a window's size setting after a quit and re-launch.

i.e., if one sets the window's size to be larger that the document (which I prefer for working with docs) upon relaunch and re-open the window boundaries revert to a default, which is the document's boundaries. This is still working in 4.1.2 and NOT after that.  
(Version 5.0.1)

MISSIONMAN  Hi there

Would be nice if you actually gave the ability to refresh the trial license with upgraded versions. I tried a copy of a previous version a while ago and have not been able to try any new versions of it ever since because I now receive "Your trial has expired" message so although the previous versions did not meet my requirements, I now no longer have the ability to see whether any future versions of Omnigraffle have the ability to swing me.

I understand you have to try prevent people reusing trials but there are ways to handle this like refreshing the license on upgrading the version for example, or simply putting an expiry on the beta license so it can't be used past a certain date (like Merlin do - download a copy of their software, you might be able to learn a better method of handling this).

I'll try the product again when you manage to resolve the licensing issues for trials, until then I'll continue using my Visio, because I can't see whether later versions are capable of matching my requirements.  
(Version 5.0.1 beta 3)

LEONARDODV  My problem with this upgrade is that they removed the GUI Stencil, which is a deal breaker for me as a GUI designer.

I use it a lot to form quick GUI layouts for my clients.  
(Version 5.0.1 beta 3)

BLUESTAR  I still don't see a fix in the list of issues fixed that corrects the survival of a window's size setting after a quit and re-launch.

i.e., if one sets the window's size to be larger that the document (which I prefer for working with docs) upon relaunch and re-open the window boundaries revert to a default, which is the document's boundaries. This is still working in 4.1.2 and NOT after that.

Let me know if this has been fixed. Otherwise I'm not even going to bother testing this one...  
(Version 5.0.1 beta 1)

OMNIGROUP  Thanks for your feedback on our pricing!

We try to price our products very competitively, and we believe that if you look at the alternatives in the same space (such as Visio and ConceptDraw) you'll find that our product is priced very reasonably. (And most of our customers strongly prefer it to those alternatives!)

I hope that you’ll take a second look at all the new features in OmniGraffle 5—it’s a very substantial upgrade. But you don’t have to take my word for it, we offer a two-week free trial (with full access to all features).

-Ethan Schoonover, The Omni Group  
(Version 5.0)

BEBDABHRHBRWEFG 3R§5Y5H4WTEDSFB  ditto on the upgrade price. $75 is ridiculous for the addition of... well, not much really... and a few bugfixes.

omnigroup's increasingly greedy attitude is alienating a lot of former customers. back in the day, when OSX was new, omniweb were the heroes of the mac software world, being amongst the first to release quality apps at decent prices for the new OS.

of late however their competitors' apps have superceded theirs in terms of quality - and omniweb's increasingly outlandish pricetags will do nothing but accelerate the stampede away from this increasingly out-of-touch company.  
(Version 5.0)

DYLAN MCNAMEE  I concur with the other folks. I don't mind paying serious money for software (heck, I bought OG Pro in the first place), but this upgrade fee is too rich for my blood. Yes, there's good stuff in this version, but much of it "belonged" in earlier versions (IMO), and the truly new stuff doesn't warrant the steep upgrade price.  
(Version 5.0)

MARUKO DRINKING TEAM  I agree: it's been a good app in the past, but $75 to upgrade is just too high. $49 would be okay. But $75 really does feel a little bit like BBEdit-style "gouge the existing customers quickly while we still don't have any direct competitors".

BBEdit encountered TextMate, and soon the price was cut by $100. I think it is time somebody made a DiagramMate (or whatever).  
(Version 5.0)

GREYMAN  I have been a long time user of Omni groups Omni Graffle pro (version 2.x) and have been keeping up to date by procuring new license updates as needed to get me to version 4.0 pro version. Now that the pro version has been released and I have looked at the price for an upgrade ($74.95) I think this will be the time that I part ways with Omni and the OmniGraffle Pro (and non pro) product.

I feel this pricing is a big mistake on their part with the majority of the OS X user base that would purchase this product probably owned a license copy of a recent visio product due to the lack of support from any native OS X application. You couple this new price and looking and what each user has paid for either VMWare Fusion or Parallels (79.99) to bridge this gap will make it hard to justify the extreme upgrade cost to upgrade from one version behind. I think $75 is a little bit steep for me not to want to start my virtualized windows xp system to look at a visio document

Also being a licensed user of current versions of OmniOutliner Pro, OmniWeb, and OmniFocus as well I will start having to think twice before upgrading my license for any of these other products that Omni produces.  
(Version 5.0)

D9  Yes, I agree w/ others that the upgrade price is way too much, especially for OGP 4 users. The additions certainly can't justify that amount.

This has become a terrible trend not only w/ these developers but a lot of Mac developers. It seems any "new" feature (or one perhaps intentionally not added previously) justifies a paid upgrade. It's really stopped me from even considering a lot of other shareware because of this trend.

As I've always felt, every developer has the right to charge what he/she feels their work is worth. We, in turn, have the right to decline...and I will exercise my right w/ this program!

Continue using OGP 4, not >>  
(Version 5.0)

DARYLF2  OmniGraffle 5 Pro is an impressive upgrade. Its new Visio binary file importer loaded my Visio 2007 .vsd files VERY well and very quickly. Bezier curves appear to be handled very well!

Some OmniGraffle 4 Pro documents imported a little oddly, though. While the drawings themselves were correct, the Canvas was smaller than in OmniGraffle 4 Pro, which was causing clipping when printing until adjusted (kind of a pain...).  
(Version 5.0)

JACKO  This is a great program. With this said and in my opinion, the upgrade price is a bit high considering the changes. The OmniGraffle Pro 4 upgrade was $49.95 for me. It's now $74.95 to move to OmniGraffle Pro 5.  
(Version 5.0)

ESPIRIDION  I wish there was a way to edit and/or delete comments. I was too enthusiastic when I read about upgrades starting at $39.95. Sorry about that.

I use OmniGraffle Pro 4. Upgrading to OGP 5 is $74.95.

I've been a happy customer, and don't mind buying OMNI's software and paying for the occasional upgrade, but this is too much. I'll just keep on using version 4.  
(Version 5.0)

ESPIRIDION  Upgrades start at $40. Even less for students.

I was going to write an angry comment based on their upgrade prices, and I'm glad I visited their store first.

I'm glad that OMNI listened to those of us who complained about their upgrade prices when version 5 was still in beta.

BIG THANKS!!!  
(Version 5.0)

JKT  Fwiw, the upgrade pricing now that the final version has been released is $79.95 and not $99.  
(Version 5.0)

ERICG  The improvements contained in version 5 do not merit the cost of the upgrade. It's also a really good way for a company to sacrifice the good will they have worked hard to build up with their customers.

I will not purchase the upgrade and will also be a lot more inclined to review and purchase software offered by companies that have more respect for their customers.  
(Version 5.0)

K0GG  The cost of this upgrade is too much for me to continue financing this product. Count me out.  
(Version 5.0 rc 1)

GRYPHONENT  Terrible pricing philosophy. $99 for an upgrade is too much, given that the changes to this app are minor. I use OmniGraffle at times, but not enough to warrant this investment. More appreciation of its loyal customers would do Omni good and I despise their recent 'fundraising tactic.'  
(Version 5.0 rc 1)

GCGIV  Let see, I paid $110 for v1, $60 for v3 upgrade, $50 for v4 upgrade and now they want $99 for v5 upgrade which for the most part doesn't feel much different from previous versions while old issues still remain. I use alot of stencils that contain images of computer equipment and constantly get the beach ball when interacting with the stencil window....very annoying and it is the same in v5. I think this software is very useful, but for what it offers, the pricing is getting out of hand.  
(Version 5.0 rc 1)

ESPIRIDION  I agree with the comments regarding OmniGraffle's upgrade. I've upgraded many times, and now I'm staying with version 4.

As much as I like Omni and their products this is just too much. In addition to OG Pro, I also own OOP, OW, OP, and OF. With this type of expensive upgrades I'm feeling less appreciated as a customer.

Some comments in their blog regarding the upgrade price have remained unanswered. As I said, I'll stay with version 4.  
(Version 5.0 beta 7)

BLUESTAR  What does it take?... This latest beta version still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Try it: open doc, resize window to a larger window than doc boundaries, save, quit. Open again, the doc window will default back to just the doc boundaries. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys why is this so hard to fix?!   
(Version 5.0 beta 6)

RONAN1  I've used this app for several years, but I'm deterred by the cost of yet another upgrade. There's no killer features included to justify it.

Much as I admire the folks at Omni, I think they are trying to milk their customer base too hard.   
(Version 5.0 beta 6)

MEMPHISGEEK  Nice program but not worth the price of the upgrade from 4.0. I'll be looking at other options now.  
(Version 5.0 beta 6)

BLUESTAR  Again! This beta version still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Try it: open doc, resize window to a larger window than doc boundaries, save, quit. Open again, the doc window will default back to just the doc boundaries. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys!  
(Version 5.0 beta 5)

D9  Once again, another version upgrade that will not justify paying for the update. This really has turned into a very bad trend w/ software developers. It makes me a lot more reluctant to invest in any software unless it is vital to use and operate on my computer.

But as always, they have the right to charge what they wish for their software, and we the right to reject it.

Good luck, Omni.

I won't be using >  
(Version 5.0 beta 5)

GRYPHONENT  Excellent app... but way overpriced.  
(Version 5.0 beta 5)

BLUESTAR  It wouldn't even open on Leopard 10.5.1...  
(Version 5.0 beta 3)

DONMONTALVO  Omnigraffle Pro is one of the best applications ever made for Mac OS X. My only gripes are:

1. Keyboard shortcuts inconsistent with expected behavior.

2. Inability to maintain horizontal/vertical alignment on some connecting lines, especially where we need to overlap lines (I spend too much timeselecting one dot and moving it pixel by pixel and STILL not able to get overlapping lines to match up.

3. Inability to open some xml formatted exported files from Visio 2007.

4. Inability to get "keep fit to window" to stick between launches on same document

5. Page Setup doesn't stick on documents

I hope the new Beta resolves these issues...more than I hope for more features.

Don Montalvo, NYC  
(Version 5.0 beta 1)

NCIANCA  OmniGraffle Pro is without question the best diagramming tool available for any platform. The new version 5 is a great update to this amazing tool.

The new features are welcome and well executed. Here is a quick list of some new or updated features:

The updated interface, designed to reflect the Leopard design direction, incorporates user interface elements well onto the window, giving the entire application an updated, modern & refreshed look.

Some common tools have been added directly onto the ruler eliminating the need to use the corresponding inspector to get to them (they are still in the inspector though). There is also a new Tool Palette similar to what many other programs have which should make it easier for Visio, Illustrator and other users to transition to OGP.

The new Stencils manager fixed numerous usability issues with the old one.

Expanded Variables support (but none yet that will display the foreground and background color values, useful when making a visual style guide).

Leopard QuickLook Support.

Shared Layers which replace the old Master Canvas. This one will take some getting used if you use Master Canvases, but it's really an awesome solution to something many have wanted for some time - the ability to add multiple master canvases to a single canvas. It also makes it very easy to adjust the items on the Shared Layer so that they show up everywhere.

Subgraphs allow you to group a collection of objects into a single entity very easily.

There are some big changes with OGP5 and this includes having to update your documents (QuickLook only works with OGP5 format files).

A slight issue is with documents that are larger then a printed page and where sized using the "Fit To Page". These will open with the page size reset to the standard page settings. The new scaling features should eliminate the prior issues with having documents that had more vertical or horizontal pixels then a standard printed page would hold.

You will also need to update any custom templates you are using.

OmniGraffle will you marry me?  
(Version 5.0 beta 1)

OZEAN  This really is an excellent app. Using layers to add additional information step by step, makes it easy to convey even highly complex information. The user interface also helps a lot – allowing access to the functionality without having to dig through several layers of menus. As many others here have already stated: the output looks gorgeous and can easily be adapted to different environments. However, all of this is even topped by their customer service, which in my experience has been quick and forthcoming even with issues that might seem minor when seen from the perspective of a software company. Five stars, and some well invested money.  
(Version 4.2.2)

BLUESTAR  Still doesn't remember window position on re-opening documents. Bummer! Version 4.1.2 does. Come on you dev guys!  
(Version 4.2.1 beta 2)

BLUESTAR  This is truly a great app for a lot of things. But the new version (4.2) doesn't remember window positions for me as the regular 4.1.2 version does. Open document, set window position, save, close document, quit app. Upon reopen the doc window is slimmed down to the document boundaries, i.e. this new version does NOT remember teh window pos. Anybody else encounter this issue? Version 4.1.2 correctly remembers the window position set upon re-open.  
(Version 4.2)

DOUGEDDY  I just love this program. It works with such ease and the final product looks so professional.

I have used it to design different communion table outlays for different services. My committee folks love it because it is so clean, clear and attractive.

Also, the folks at Omni are really excellent at getting back to people who have a problem or concern. I had some real problems with OmniOutliner and they were excellent and timely in assisting me.  
(Version 4.2 beta 6)

BLUESTAR  Great product, but the Beta doesn't remember window positions for me as the regular 4.1.2 version does. I talked to the support guys about this but I guess they haven't fixed it in this release. Also when I opened some files it gave me a bunch of "font errors" - but, I'm using FontAgent Pro and autoactivation - this, again works well in the regular 4.1.2 (non-beta) version of OmniGraffle Pro.  
(Version 4.2 beta 5)

JACKNYC  An amazing product. You'll look like you hired a top-notch designer!  
(Version 4.2 beta 3)

THIRSTYROBOT  A small-business owner's best friend. I keep finding new ways to use this amazing app. Create mind maps with none of the hassle I find with Novamind. Build mastheads and buttons for your website -- right down to the rounded edges and shadow backdrop -- in mere seconds. Build a quick sketch of what you'd like a website to look like. All without ever having to go through the hassle of using Adobe bloatware.

The only strike against this product is that it's really quite pricey. Plenty of us plunk down our money for it as is, yes, but I'd be willing to wager that the developers could triple their sales, just by nudging the price point down to $99.   
(Version 4.1.2)

NCIANCA  An Information Architects best friend.  
(Version 4.1.2rc1)

JOJOMAN  I've tried to use omnigraffle on an on & off basis. I use it to plan the layout of our production facility.

Reason is that most people in my company uses windows visio, and when convert files from visio to graffle, I can never get the dimension to display properly.

Graffle still lacks the ability to properly lay down the dimension lines for object that I created. I can see that Graffle is an excellent software but without a complete dimension tools I still need to go back to my PC.

Large plant layout (20MB+ for my case), includes machinery, power lines, etc is almost unusable due to performance issue. Omni recognize this problem (see their website) but it must be solved before I can really put it into use.

The performance problem is when you drag a group of object (complex ones) that the software takes forever (sometimes 3 min) to complete the process, during this time, if you move the cursor it will take another 3min longer. Sounds crazy I know.

Hopefully, Omni will fix this soon, other then this, it is an great product and can easily beat similar software on any platform.  
(Version 4.1.2 beta 1)

BOMBADIL  This has great potential and is a much easier and prettier alternative(though less advanced)to Adobe Illustrator. I use both programs and if Omnigraffle had a few more bells and wistles I'd be happy to trash the Adobe app.

I have to say this is and has been one of my favourite mac apps ever. The user interface is more intelligent than the Adobe solution and a good deal more attractive. The "snapping to point/line" function is better than Adobe's. This makes it perfect for flow charts and tree diagrams, and allowing a great deal more precision when aligning objects, in record time.

My only complaint is the incorrect rendering of shadows in exported images. Once they fix this it will be quite a mac gem!   
(Version 4.1.2 beta 1)

JUNEHAO  Nothing to complain about. Simply the best. Now I rely on it for all my charting and diagramming works.  
(Version 4.1)

ZAC  This is insanely great. One of those few programs that have the quality of an Apple iApp out of Cupertino. I'm highly impressed.   
(Version 4.0)

STERNHAMMER  I love the way OmniGraffle looks and works and seem to find myself unable to resist trying out each new version that comes along.

I was very happy to see the inclusion of bezier curves in this version. Unfortunately bezier curves seem restricted to "shapes" and I can see no way to use them in unclosed shapes or lines. The "line" tool does not seem to allow bezier curves. How disappointing. I guess Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand are safe for now.  
(Version 4.0)

ANONYMOUS  OmniGraffle Pro is a work of art. Enables even the occasional user to produce gorgeous diagrams with a minimal of effort. An absolute must-have.   
(Version 4.0)

ANONYMOUS  This looks extremely promising. I'm thrilled that Omni got rid of the awful Mellel-like interface. I need to work with the program a bit more before I review it, but the improvement in interface alone makes this a very worthwhile update.  
(Version 4.0rc2)

ANONYMOUS  Force-directed automatic layout still isn't fixed. It doesn't balance the spread of the elements on the page. Everything moves away from the top and left side of the page and to the edges of the bottom and right side of the page.   
(Version 4.0 rc 1)

ANONYMOUS  Great software ... but the new icon does indeed suck!  
(Version 4.0 rc 1)

ANONYMOUS  The dmgs from the second download location never work for me.

As for the icon, my original assumption has been this would simply denote the beta state of the software, and change back to something more appropriate upon release.  
(Version 4.0 rc 1)

T  Force-directed automatic layout doesn't balance well on the page anymore. Everything moves away from the top and left side of the page and more to the bottom and right side of the page. I will make a screenshot and send an email shortly.  
(Version 4.0 beta 4)

ANONYMOUS  I downloaded this new version to test it, but was so horrified by the icon that I trashed it instead. I'll stick with version 3.  
(Version 4.0 beta 4)

CHAINKING  I agree. The new icon is a big step backwards!   
(Version 4.0 beta 4)

T  Ugly new icon. Some may disagree, though. I feel like Omnigroup is loosing some of the old aestheticism that made them great. The old aestheticism was light, pleasing, subtle, elegant, and playful. Now it's turning into something too bold and less refined. Feel free to disagree. This is just my humble opinion.  
(Version 4.0 beta 4)

T  Need the return of auto-collapsing inspector(s)! Why remove such a great feature? In version 4, an expanded inspector can sometimes expand off-screen or hide under the Dock. In version 3, the inspector could never hide under the Dock or expand off-screen. Version 3 was great from an UI and usability point of view. Never, ever remove great features when upgrading to a newer version, unless the new enhances the old. I've also seen other great apps change interfaces for the sake of change and version upgrades. And I've actually had to stop using those new versions. I say: Never change or fix things if it works well. I also liked the old magnets better: They actually looked like magnets!  
(Version 4.0 beta 3)

T  Despite what I said that the new interface eats up space, I must say that the new outlining feature turns out to be great. Previously, it took time to map something out. (Creating the blocks and connecting lines.) Now, you simply outline it like in OmniOutliner, and you see things visually happen on your canvas. This turns Graffle from an app that was usable to something invaluable. Still, the interface could need some tweeking, especially the inspectors - it needs auto-collapsing and maybe even transparency feature.  
(Version 4.0b2)

T  As I've written before, on my iBook screen (1024*768) the new interface actually takes more screen space. The palettes are slightly wider and they don't automatically collapse. Also, the drawer eats my screen space. Previously, I could have a document window and all my pallettes on the side - and the collapsable palettes function really helped. Now I have larger palettes, which don't automatically collapse, and a drawer to deal with. I give the new interface a thumbs down. Yes, it may work on those widescreen computers, it doesn't on my little iBook screen.  
(Version 4.0b1)

ANONYMOUS  The new UI is much improved but, for me, the thing which really bumps v4 into a new orbit is the ability to enter text in outline format and have it appear as a structured OmniGraffle chart. If only it now had one-click "add new box" facilities, I could retire the (now rather tired) Inspiration and the elegant but rather limited NovaMind. As it is, OmniGraffle has gone from being something I often contemplate using but back away from -- because of the tedium of switching between shape, text and line tools -- to something I reach for half a dozen times a day, in one quantum jump. The Tipping Point, I'd say. Great stuff. (And graphically, results which make people say "Wow! What did you do *that* with?")  
(Version 4.0b1)

ANONYMOUS  Amazing piece of Cocoa software.

Let OS X Quarz really shine!  
(Version 4.0b1)

SAGO  This new interface is amazing.

Finally some order for this usefull tool.

Go big.  
(Version 4.0b1)

ANONYMOUS  My god it's obvious M Matas no longer work for OmniGroup...some icons are UGLY  
(Version 4.0b1)

ANONYMOUS  The new interface is fantastic! I always struggled with the inefficient user interface of the old version. My Powerbook with it's 1152x768 resolution was always a matter of fiddling with my workspace to get the tools I needed. The new beta interface not only is much more visually appealing, adds many new and useful features, but is also significantly more efficient and takes up a lot less space! Can't wait for the final!  
(Version 4.0b1)

ALENE  Not so long ago I started to use OmniGaffle. Before that I was using ConceptDraw V for Mac. (www.conceptdraw.com) I was just curious what would be better. And I can say that ConceptDraw is more professional and for advanced users whereas Omnigraffle is lighter. But what I like the most about both programs is that they are cross-platformed.   
(Version 3.2.2)

GEOLOGIST  Brilliant application and superior results! I use it to create poster for print and web (see the new global geological timescale promotional poster for example at stratigraphy.org), The workspace is intelligent, with easily navigable palettes that don't leave you wondering where that tool was. The smart guides and alignment features I find more versatile than Illustrator's. Although, I still use Illustrator and Omnigraffle side by side since for projects with many hundreds of objects, Illustrator seems a bit faster. Highly recommended!  
(Version 3.2.1)

UNICODE  Worth every penny..... this program is great!

You can even use this program as a word processor, There is no support, for linking text boxes, and vector line support is a little limited.

There are so many good things going for OmniGraffle. If you have not used this program try it out. It is one reason I would buy a mac!  
(Version 3.2)

ANONYMOUS  Great program overall. A few minor problems:

1) It doesn't import or save directly to visio binary files, which are the industry standard as of today--it does a fair job of importing/exporting Viso XML files, but unfortunately those files are far less common.

2) It uses screen real estate unwisely. For example, the pop-up Zoom % menu is by the window resize widget. It should be tucked up top with the canvas and layer controls as this makes the window waste space drawing empty scroller bars when you are working on a single page graphic. Also, when you show the rulers, it wastes an entire horizontal strip for one single "Units" popup menu. This also should be tucked into the layer/canvas control strip. All this wasted space reminds me of all the control strips in Windows Word and Visio where more than half your screen is wasted with strips and you only see a port-hole of your actual document (not that it is anywhere near as bad as microsoft in that regard, but you get the idea).

Also, the auto-lines do not wrap around objects nicely like they do in Visio and it is a little more feature poor than Visio in a number of areas. There is no auto-numbering of items for example.

All that beign said, it's my favorite app of its type on any platform.

(Version 3.2rc1)

ERIC SHEPHERD  I love OmniGraffle Pro. I use it for all kinds of things, from mapping adventure games to creating flow diagrams for software modules. I can't say I agree with comments that it's slow -- it performs very well on my 667 MHz PowerBook G4, for example.  
(Version 3.1.2)

JOHN K II  Awesome program!!! I develop Human Machine Interfaces for consumer products. This program is the ultimate for creating screen flows. Its interface is laid out very well and has a lot of functionality. Of all the graphical programs I have in my toolbox, this one is in the top 4: Illustrator, Photoshop, Director MX, OmniGraffle Pro. I have been using OmniGrafflePro for about 6 months now on some very complicated projects and it has not let me down. The PDF export is great for distribution to other team members (on PCs).  
(Version 3.1.1)

ANONYMOUS  Good program. Features 5, Stability 5. Expensive and slow. Ease of use 4, Value 3.  
(Version 3.1)

HGOOR  I run this app on a Powerbook G4 667mhz (512mb) and it is annoyingly SLOW. Also I'm missing some essential options like having a header/footer or an option to "clone" a canvas (usefull for making functional designs for webpages).

Btw: does anyone out there know if there is a WEB stencil with standard buttons, drop down/pull down etc. ??

Other than that: very good app.  
(Version 3.1)

ANONYMOUS  Very good drawing app but it is slow.  
(Version 3.1b1)

BRET WILLIAMS  Absolutely fantastic. And technical support is pretty good, too. Has replaced Inspiration as my flowcharting program of choice.  
(Version 3.0.1)

DANIEL ERASMUS  Fantastic Piece of software!  
(Version 3.0.1b3)

NCIANCA  I like this program so much I want to give it another 5 stars! The Copy As Applescript feature is really cool! Makes it super easy to start automating a bunch of stuff. Why don't all programs have this?  
(Version 3.0.1b2)

SCHMELDING  OmniGraffle Pro, will you marry me?  
(Version 3.0.1b2)

NCIANCA  I have been using OmniGraffle since version 1 and it is simply one of the best programs I've ever used. The interface is so intuitive and the new 3 Pro version rocks. Creating diagrams, wireframes and such is just so fluid and clean. My clients are always impressed by the results.  
(Version 3.0.1b1)
