Diagrammix

New update finally released end of December 2023. But, no longer works with High Sierra, no longer works with Mojave, round circle slash can't open it. Old version still works well. Nothing bad to say about the product BTW. Very nice little app that has been stable for years.

no longer works as of 2022 and no support

Would be nice if there was a link to the version that works with 10.6. Looked on their site as well. Must have been recent, one place on the site still says 10.6.

I love this application, it's a great price even when not on offer, you can use the shapes libraries from other well know applications. And I give it 5 stars no problem

At a discounted price, it looked like a bargain. After installation, I was looking at the shapes in the left, then saw a menu up at the top. I saw categories, like Network, People, Apple, without checkmarks. After selecting the categories, many new shapes appeared. If you do network diagrams, the selection in the Extended Network category are pretty incredible! There are a lot symbols for so many different network devices.

I really was in need of this software because I often had to show diagrams and similar projects to my students. Diagrammix is easy to use, works on all my Macs without any problems and does its job very good. Before years a software like this for a Mac was very expensive and now it is rather cheap. Only the update from inside the program doesn't work, but this is not a very important thing for me. I use MacOS 10.9.3.

I know this may seem odd, but there are too many minor updates all the time. It seems like every other day, it is bugging me, saying Diagrammix has an update. I know that this is probably seen as a good thing, and certainly better than tons of software that never gets updated (Apple's included), but there is a point where there are just too many small updates. I wish they would combine them together just a bit more, so maybe an update once a month. Right now, there are points where there are multiple updates in a single day. I ask Deep IT to please find a happy medium.

Positives: The canned icons are interesting. If you never create your own, or have need of special icons, this can be useful for you. If you have simple diagramming needs, its pretty fast & has no real learning curve, might be good for you. I haven’t tried creating my ones using this yet. Hotkeys for entering text, etc is convenient & easy. Being able to switch styles is nice (though the style choices are limited). It appears to keep a version of each style. I don’t know why people compare $200 apps to a $14 app as though they really are equivalent alternatives! There is no comparison between this & OmniGraffle by any stretch of the imagination, or even some of the alternatives people have suggested. Honestly, I bought Diagrammix - at discount. On whim. Then I immediately wondered why. I have better alternatives already & I’ve been reluctant after test-driving this in the past. Whim purchases (sigh). It is fine for the discount price. If it came to full price ($20), you can do better for the money, or very close to that $20. There is no vector option for export. That costs an extra $5 which, at full price - puts you in iDraw’s ballpark, or can be had in TouchDraw.

Every now and then an application comes along that is just plain gold. Brilliant value for money, stable, classy designs, continuously being improved.

App Store does not have version 2.7.1. Developer's website lists 2.7.0 as current version as of 06 Oct 2013. What happened to 2.7.1? (I note that version mismatches are becoming more frequent of late, which greatly reduces the value of MacUpdate Desktop. Is anyone at MacUpdate responsible for making sure that version numbers of updates are correct?)

"The downloadable version is 2.5.1. The Mac App Store version is currently 2.6.0" Also on your site the program (demo) is 2.5.1. How come?

I recently downloaded this app via "appyfriday" and it installed fine. Tried to load stencils via the "graffletopia" site and was not successful at importing them per the instructions. I emailed the developer who was fantastically quick and very focused on making sure my problem got solved and that I was happy and productive using this app as soon as humanly possible. Together we did a bit of trouble shooting and back/forth in screenshots, suggestions, procedural steps, etc/ Long story short, we found a solution but are both still scratching our heads as to why the issue came up in the first place. Bottom line: I got a work around, he got a new bug to investigate and that will improve the app. This app my not have all the bells and whistles of OMNI Groups offering, but its a fraction of the price and does what I need it to do. Best of all the developer clearly cares about a good app and a good user experience and that alone makes the experience 1st rate. Way to go Igor!

Just a well thought out, beautiful app that just raises the bar for "ideas and bubble," chart flows diagrams. Used in conjunction with Art Tex 2 ...and probably any other gfx application of your liking, this is just gorgeous,powerful, synergy. It may have been "flaky "in the past , but that was the past, this is now and this is one app all your creatives will love. C.J.

I used this to create custom diagrams for Powerpoint on Mac whenever one of the built-in Powerpoint shapes won't do and couldn't be happier. Haven't found an easier way to create custom diagrams so highly recommended.

Amazing developer response to my queries. I've contacted him three times- with clear, complete responses within 3 hours each. Can't compare to more expensive programs- however, it does what I need fairly intuitive. If I were to improve- I would make the PDF version of the manual downloadable from the program. It offers much more detail concerning how the program works than the online manual. Further, I would make the program naturally expand beyond 1 page when working on more lengthy diagrams. The enlarge this portion of the diagram is not intuitive. All in all- highly recommended- and, a good way for a novice to start learning how to do their own diagrams.

Excellent app for the price!

Downloaded it but cannot open it as it is noted as from an untrusted developer. I guess I wasted my money! Caution to all else that this may happen!!

Downloaded the latest variant and exactly the same problems as before except that the "fix" didn't work this time

I had to blitz them with 6 extra E-Mails which got the response. The fix is as follows To solve this issue, please, close app and remove "~/Library/Application Support/Diagrammix", "~/Library/Preferences/ru.DeepIT.Diagrammix.plist", "~/Library/Saved Application State/ru.DeepIT.Diagrammix.savedState". You can use menu Go - "Go to folder" in the Finder to access those folders. Copy and paste paths. If you have imported elements copy to safe place imported files from "~/Library/Application Support/Diagrammix/Notations/Imported" before removing folders above or repeat importing. Then restart the app and input your registration data again. I did not have to reregister - it came up as already registered. After communication difficulties, all is resolved

Much improved interface, great! Choice of arrowheads in the connectors could be better though. Now there's one open type arrowhead and three indistinguishable pairs of others. I'd like to see more variety, for example a pretty flat triangle (wider than high) and one with three equal sides. Also a very urgent request for the arrows (shapes). They now only have adjustment buttons for the length, but I would love to see they can also me adjusted in the width. That would extremely speed up making fast diagrams for quick use, like in brainstorming / mindmapping, or quick explanations in a classroom. Thanks, Max
