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.

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.

Except for documentation, I think this is an outstanding product.

"Excellent Flow Chart design and fairly quick to utilize"
Version: Diagram Designer 1.25
Pros
User Friendly.
Easy to manipulate colors and diagramsCons
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.
