1. 3/5Good, but there are great options for free

   Although LucidChart certainly is the most complete tool for creating flowcharts, many of the premium features offered are additional aesthetics for your maps that do not contribute in terms of functionality. If you are a software engineer working with a team that needs to make huge, complex maps for your programs, definetly give this a try, if only for the feature to share the map with your teammates and work on it simultaneously. However, if you are an individual user, there is not much LucidChart can offer you that is different from a lot of the free flowchart apps, available on the App Store alone. In addition, you do not need to create an account or share any of your personal data on these smaller apps so it is much safer for your privacy. To conclude, you will certainly find LucidChart handy, but I would try other services before considering signing up for a subscription.

2. 3/5No longer usable for individual use on iPad

   I've been using Lucid for years and constraining tablets and mobile now to teams/organization and removing the application from supporting individual (paid) account was a terrible decision. I do work for myself and outside of my projects that are not part of a team, and I require separation of accounts and projects. I lose so much real estate having to now be forced to use a browser in my iPad. Additionally, while on the Lucidchart web, there is a huge "Open App" button, but I obviously can't because my paid account is not part of a team or org, so, it's just taking up even more pixel space. Please allow Lucidchart to be used without a team or organization for Paid accounts.

3. 1/5STAY AWAY! Frustrating Experience - Critical Features Locked Behind Paywall, and Even Paid Features

   I was working on a large, complex chart in Lucidchart and tried to break it into sections using layers. That approach didn’t work as expected, so I deleted the layers—only to realize that it took critical parts of my chart with it. Here’s the catch: you can only “undo” via something called Revision History, which is locked behind a paywall. It’s an intentional and greedy design choice. So I upgraded my plan, just to fix this one issue and then downgrade again. But even after upgrading, Revision History failed me—none of my versions from just a few days ago were accessible. My work was gone. To make matters worse, I discovered that this exact issue was raised over three years ago in Lucidchart’s community forums. Back then, version history did work for the affected user. Today, despite years of feedback, they’ve chosen not to improve the functionality. If anything, it’s worse. Lucidchart’s editorial and product decisions seem more focused on catching users in traps than supporting them with intuitive, reliable tools. STAY AWAY from this product. When something goes wrong—and it will—you’ll find that essential recovery tools are either paywalled or broken.

4. 4/5Good Visio lite - Cant use my o365 acct on app though

   Update- in using the app itself more it’s pretty nice and intuitive as a Visio “lite” type of replacement. What you’re able to do with your finger on the iOS version on iPad is pretty impressive. I was expecting much less or more usability issues on iPad, but it works really really well. There are some minor bugs outside of the actual diagramming functionality, I listed those below initially. However as I’ve said I’m very impressed with the main purpose/functionality of the app on ipad (iPad) I’m just starting out on day 1 with lucid, not going so well. I was able to login to the website with my office 365 login and password, when I hit new document (in Safari) I got a blank type of diagram / page with a zoom scroller but no other options or buttons. So I figured I would move over to the app, I try to login with the same login and password that worked on the website, but it keeps saying incorrect (additionally there is the only only the Google and Yahoo buttons in the app, on the web there is only Google in office 365). So I go to create a new account with my same login, it says account already exists. I create a new account with a different email only to find templates doesn’t have a search feature. Will update if it gets better, but may just look for a different Visio replacement on iPad.

5. 1/5Good but not worth a monthly subscription

   You must be smoking some expensive crack to want to pay a MONTHLY subscription for this. If you have Microsoft word you can fine similar functions there and there are other free services as well as cheaper options. This app doesn’t even work effective all the time. I constantly find text issues like it duplicating on the same line, only allowing me to write over it but not deleting the old text, and other issues with the shapes. It seems like a good app and I would deal with it and even pay a couple bucks for it but the basic package is 5.99 a month. That’s more expensive than most of my software subscription basic packages and they actually bring new things and content to the table every month. The whole thing is to glitchy to justify such an outrageous continuous cost for something so basic.
