Grafio 3 is an iOS app that is used in creating graphs, vector charts, diagrams, infographics, storyboards, and any other type of diagram. It is as simple as drawing shapes with your finger. The app’s artificial intelligence helps to straighten out edges and adjust the shape. Other types of editing can also be carried out on any diagram drawn.

What Users Love About the App

“Easier to use than Omnigraffle, has plenty of features, and costs a fraction of the price. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that Omnigraffle does, but I found that most of those were for very specific professional needs and most people don’t need them.”

“Grafio has more features than Lucidchart and is again much cheaper (no subscription compared to $5.99-$8.99/mo for Lucidchart). I use Grafio for creating org charts, diagraming processes both for work and at home, and used it to create a network map when setting up my home network.”

“The library of assets is great and includes assets to meet just about any need. The examples that are included have been great for helping me come up with ideas for my own diagrams.”

“Being able to use the Apple Pencil to create shapes has been a big bonus and I love that I can import my own assets (icons mainly) into Grafio. If you need a feature packed diagraming app that’s easy to use get Grafio!”

“This is the best app that I have in my large collection of apps. I know that this is an app that is used for graphs and flow charts but I have found a different uses for it and feel completely satisfied.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I wish I could draw without snap recognition and have it the color fill in. Could you ask explain the grids spacing and the angle step?”

“I do wish they can introduce (and fix) certain features. The fix first: since the recent iOS upgrade I can no longer upload to Dropbox. As for improvements: when creating org charts allow for shape substitutions to boxes.”

“I like the precision of moving objects with the arrow keys. But invariably, the arrow keys will stop working sometime during the session. Even with the Apple Pencil, I can’t get the same precision of placement and it becomes frustrating trying to place things just so with either finger or pencil.”

“It would be most awesome if a circle would remain a perfect circle when being resized. I don’t want to lose the ability to make an egg shape out of it, but I do want the option to do both. Actually this would be great for all the shapes, but most especially for circles.”

“I spent almost 2 hours in a simple algorithm because the app kept moving the arrows all over the place and I wasn’t able to fix that until I worked around the app bugs. And in the end when I saved the project it just disappeared into a white canvas, there was no trace of my previous work I just spent hours working on.”
