It's not what I expected.
Thomas_SissonAugust 28, 2011
Pros
It works. (I haven't used it that much.)
Cons
The program is primitive and does not actually import image files. It appears to allow you to set images as a background instead.
Summary
I tried to use it for a parade layout. I was hoping it would recognize lines on the map as objects, but it only adds the map image as a background. It graphs, but it does not have a user friendly environment.
Very bad user interface
kalsmailsOctober 25, 2009
Pros
none i can think off
Cons
The user interface is not at all intuitive. There are absolutely no help document within the tool and no tool tips for the various controls. I struggled for 5 min to draw a line and i couldnt figure it out. Load of crap!
Summary
Its free and its crap
Not good with flow charts

Pros
looks ok i guess
Cons
Only two shapes can be used for flow charts...
Summary
App Wouldn't Work - Uninstaller WON'T UNINSTALL
bigdoodMay 13, 2008
Pros
I like the fact that I can write a review that tells people the truth about this piece of ---- software.
Cons
Application would NOT load - Uninstaller quits with a Java Error... so you are stuck with a piece of crap program that you can't use -- DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. Using XP and a quad core 6600 Intel - Asus P5K3 Deluxe mobo - 4mb DDR800 Corsair RAM and ALL drivers updated -- it's not the system, it's this GARBAGE software.
Summary
Amazing product
papayiyaJune 14, 2005
Pros
1) Its Free <p>2) Easy to use, fast install, I had my flow chart in minutes <p>3) Great exporting, image is sized well and no wasted white space
Cons
May take a minute or two to figure out how to use it.
Summary
not something that's completely intuitive the first time you see it
pinky1018June 3, 2005
Pros
i got it installed okay. it looked nice. clean install (and uninstall).
Cons
i was looking for something to do a quick UML diagram (and had no access to visio, etc.). this was taking too long to figure out. if you need something quick and a little more involved, try poseidon--that worked nicely.

Java Application, So It Sucks
October 1, 2003
Pros
Cons
Summary
It's a Java application ...so it sucks. Never could get it to run on my system. But, the licensing agreement blurb was a masterpiece of obscurity and mumbo jumbo ! _____The DataRat
Nice application

Pros
Cons
Summary
Great for making plan since its easier to look at the plan by diagram instead of text
