Diagram Designer provides users with an opportunity to quickly design simple flow charts, which should appeal to business people. Though it has a snag with its text feature, the program's simplicity makes it a more attractive choice than other similar programs.

This download has an incredibly simple interface that should not take much getting used to, no matter what level of user you are. Happily, there are Help files on the Internet and within the program. One interface complaint comes from its ability to fill charts with color, since the palette is slightly hidden along the top. However, users will gravitate toward the simple click-and-drag shapes and arrows that will comprise their diagrams. The diagrams were simple to create and adjust if mistakes were made. With a variety of shapes and arrows, even the most complex business flow chart or organizational map can be laid out and labeled on the fly, unlike similar downloads. Our only gripe was with labeling--if users wish to add bold, italic or other font enhancements it must be done using a form of HTML code, which complicates matters for users used to clicking a button for such changes.

However, we felt this freeware program's text snag was easy to overlook since Diagram Designer created our chart much easier than similar products we've tested in the past. We recommend this program for anyone who needs diagrams in a hurry.

jware1939July 6, 2012
Pros
It is fairly easy to make flow charts with this software if you already have some knowledge in this area.
Cons
The help file is lacking, as far as I am concerned. I had to search web forums to get answers to some of my problems.
Summary
Except for documentation, I think this is an outstanding product.

Pros
Friendly interface, easy to work with, nice available options, it's freeware.

Inconvenient way to edit the text. I've also found some difficulties at making and managing my own templates of shapes.
Summary
A great free tool with lots of potentials.
Can't afford Visio? Here's your free solution.
tkb_talosApril 13, 2012
Pros
Free. So far it appears bug-free too. Flexible enough to produce presentable flowcharts
Cons
I don't think that I can open the .ddd file in Visio.
Summary
Did I mention that it's free? And that it works and looks pretty good...and it's free.
Excellent Flow Chart design and fairly quick to utilize
i1astrofanMarch 2, 2012
Pros
User Friendly. Easy to manipulate colors and diagrams
Cons
Entering text can be a little ungainly until you get used to it. The pages are set up in tabs so you cannot just scroll down. You have to move back and forth between tabs.
Summary
Excellent free diagram software
muffinbubble_againFebruary 11, 2012
Pros
Not only can you make flow charts, but also GUI diagrams too (tabbed windows/buttons/labels etc). Interface easy to use, export to multiple formats, aligning, styling, it's free!
Cons
There are none.
Summary
This is an amazing product

Summary
A wonderful creation, thank you
Does exactly what it should do.
ChileJamDecember 1, 2011
Pros
OK, IT'S FREE and it does exactly what I want it to do. It's perfect for Process Maps. Seriously, I can't believe anyone complains about this software at all.
Cons
NONE. It's FREE and it's GOOD.
Summary
Try it out. You really can't go wrong. If you need some sort of collaboration tools, internet access, email routing, etc. then use something else. If you want program that works and creates nice flowcharts and process maps, signup! 'nuff said. OH, and NO, I don't know the developer. It's just nice to see someone create a product that works and does what it does very well.
